Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTv2vQPxrB
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc1Jr0MnJg
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yHfqNsXyj
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMHlih5tdk
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSe4Uq5efg
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX1w5mRz7B
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN5B2lqurK
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyChQUtvE2p
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡas7zmJ2qWk
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenNhbGQ1BR
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJhgUKvf9D
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEVgRr3y7k
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9dUlw2LMT
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRD5YhhOUP
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Pba799Ess
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mHn7ZHhFu
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKGKP1UHtK
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck9nvs1RHi
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTwo4kJNsY
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYRsxvnB5M
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIC4VFwRkz
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AT8jD1qcc
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST0bXG6GYU
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ1ekY2aMB
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNciqoSrHnU
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD47U50LMo6
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jWscESB4g
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPynnsjEpYt
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwcKmJ7oNZ
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NmqmT1s5X
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Xi6F0b81
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJgerGAlJh
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsN693ZAod
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDzhVbKZ3X
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ12swDf0nP
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HHOLVpR39
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaJ38yLIAK
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIp91Q7rpBl
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SQ9ed8qPD
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidZwV5NF3S
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoG6Enq91O
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpyTZOgkNl
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwaXSnb01C
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJ93tSufiC
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFe5RuBAO1
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhva6U9AuVC
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCYyYNG3s4
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhi7kijwjT
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNyJExHeWG
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6UROOCQXw
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVviVv4zzbr
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu60uMX7WJ
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jf70NOcVe
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovCAOMsqTh
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnEyAXUaTv
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnhEjyymEd
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jlToMug0Y
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff3cbSnXKy
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWimeO4jy59
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57I7hwxtwG
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCmdHnnsp9
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1CohcrLkz
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5G48QR1ES
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4kXcRcvnY
Beet: “Haaa!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqzFCbI5tL
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgQd2QrBlp
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabtFhRGC9j
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSQVfvVMPC
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNDuJs3Tm5
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92OK2ft2EZ
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyYutYbISo
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-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbWbuLpyQs
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHSryJU6N8
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8yJcUfL1n
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslGgNromq8
Kakarot: “Enough”!
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjgVva576g
Beet: “Huh?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tzNSkFEgc
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ42m18JL7A
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBx7kW1xhm
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW7mPvsBr9
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCH2wzL1Nx
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYQFgwp9MU
Beet: “Right!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FE4l8ddSb
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg25vbsFHh
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSiUp1y6Kg
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSQVoA6OuF
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4KoMvEQ9s
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1mNowVYar
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VZVhBCXXb
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDST5K2f18q
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtk5T9H2MO
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbaPuEjPlT
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntzurIl6ss
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTaxPh5D9S
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom2Gwzqwx3
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvnNDEaFqj
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ttY7FcZWT

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFcIqn3eO5
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNGgBXsG0n

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeuvz7UwHg
“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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrTud70Uuw
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRkTY63iGy
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8hTxR2ggb
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIiH8G0Jwj
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ukef4S5qA
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AciaYUZ7j
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ijulW0M4
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xj2bLKiCp
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9q6quGZYf
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O6PQEzLzB
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIksalik9iU
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe4P3lbWBj
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHouZWoDNWc
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoLejEnTHj
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvijD8HZVli
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3KD7s9iJi
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vu3kgv8ww
Bulma chuckled.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRuKCmTNQJ
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazEGhwV7Dy
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsld2VrZpvw
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBzz3y4E3a
Beet: “Momm!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSElkQFFWT
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KU46eAKar
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgIJNI7MKE
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZnBBJPeSD
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf2kBaiSBg
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB0uinw3lT
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgJNDBrmIV
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5aTIKB2gt
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHgpSrWGLz
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcFmoLAqTa
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuCuWukMWp
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwb3CVeyha
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlZPw8b9d6
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5nxNq7gaL
Kakarot: “Enough!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnZSmrs7T2
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfBInrieZm
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVlDxy4dMW
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHfLy7ed8R
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gMk0Pd7iR
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhOYDxohRp
Beet: “Sir!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhXchAAVuP
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrsYiFhqok
Bulma: “Beet!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw1gj8Xkkd
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLLs6Ljczl
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRD96FupjNs
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUzoDBNZph
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOBrhtMs4X
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6EGKhueZA
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj9JrHjFfg
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzShT9ln91
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIgKwXTLMZ
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMi0KCX6WF
Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”

Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadnh0ZBUd8
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8zHLt8BGn
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHoVqSJz6K
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztJgYYTpms
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM4Ugr9QCA
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OVHAmNkvJ
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkmjQkuQQZ
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBesHV7mhZ
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEutL2FkMM5
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKdcHDSP92
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjqgSvcsPq
Raditz: “You have my word.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdQenzki7Q
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxvvLFQsoG
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6MOIxFiKb
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGWFuOgmyc
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaNoRMkNfM
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFlYeMAW1K
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz49uPIzVs
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4pGQ1wKXi
Raditz chuckled.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcvUmg99W2
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqc8mySQQJ
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7idNxmh8hZ
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF6JNHbYk9
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoxiy0jgi0
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzn3yfl6kp
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvf25tSb3z
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KhIY8oOAY
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RiQt09jpN
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExiz5YgCVu
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen6P4PT0qM
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXxSHqrDYf
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4F6DjGtBl
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydPYAKDhnj
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIhDMnzzaK
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q7dEzqtNx
Raditz took a deep breath.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1rC64bxb3
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmo9eBrEKz
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu7KT3gmFR
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoywPnp1Pz
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQG7VfKV8H
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzl4RzZ44R
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi3TrfR52b
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCF7nx5o9N
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90gv858Bce
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lM3AuTlsr
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQZEi5IhRq
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf7Mo6ku1t
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BBMq3yWKL
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG3AqoAttJ
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgq3DhnQlb
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqs1GSqXYc
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikaWXEvtYJ
Kakarot: “The prince?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyMmF7Elp2
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFME6S0q4m
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuCUkspAZr
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4stpxrxZY
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIfBQeuGMY
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjpA4yhg4V
Kakarot: “….”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujJ4TDl29a
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWXER8pTpx
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJarTGAKpPr
Bulma hesitated to reply.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9HgK2Gp6x
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAV9nDUVSo
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ79qN5IINV
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcohTaZrXdh
Beet: “Sir!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DseRuJTW5
He came face to face with his father.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7gZfEMoAZ
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Bq4yWg9m
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxCPaeQIzp
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAfS9Utur9
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Ffbn14ZU
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG46BM6iYum
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AUQ2trCG1
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyCoFdjdN6
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVCoKbkyVq
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yuXnO1mjC
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx04y0znGl2
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6SpbjpOTY
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFr8ritixp
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxJUkRts12
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.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA0h7HvvNd
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B5sHdf45d
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ9MRIB63C
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaafbdyy07x
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF0L5JqPzJ
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhc9UCVD4c
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp37hKx5Pyo
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVEESVoeL8
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnz0p70JDF
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZzS3EVQLJ
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXbGnU0sW3
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0vPDYFn7J
The prince hesitated.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9cW73S9pS
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROUwjadA6O
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUdRzGIh7s
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks8amLN4X5
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU99ascerfU
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc30vq4fYh3
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSegu4WOzOP
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n3xiKbfUf
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9g2LwQMmU
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQkpEPzgzb
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU11YydSkKc
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZdts7dX6F
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6j4UQVkn
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTzjKWAqjp
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQYgFtv4EL
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFV8m0TTfW
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeI8jGk1DO
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUG6Z8QJvT
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLnpykXLEt
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNzNIptaBH
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1T5jHZpF5
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDnevJwX0I
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy76sdB8YpB
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VWgwRWiQn
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbflmZrbqWc
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz3CbWdpY3
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9gFZOJ7gE
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQesam7h2Ws
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCOYmjD8hP
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ogGNld4sE
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1jHQoUliD
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogkDVmT31S
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcSoRiOFa7
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi1peOEAyC
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW4qOBrnPw
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrHSDpUoQi
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGUp2f2Otp
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJUtGWWr3o
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeXVf9ypSk
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sBqc6nX3w
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0Z2GDOB5q
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBytwZWyLWG
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzRPQ6oTi1
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2ObWAC7pe
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxWExH70ym
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7p1nt7vTx
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl5mJQvYY1
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve7NvHGH21
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2miSkoybct
Kakarot: “What was that?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXv6Qh3co9
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybZqqVhsic
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FfjK0MFva
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSnfAVpm8C
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimz9qB8Mlu
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhClwPDznHk
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr88qrvqUe
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpm1qcUTg1
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0kg6zLVVU
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLsgXG0jsb
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrnB3Bpgt7
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38hihXUM6V
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq43VV81GWF
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgEqHEgSNZ
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiS0pAz2gK
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn07ejSob0n
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWoHsZHTsT
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb4a5tC4Ln
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7omIojGPwE
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5VOl6NthV
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4SdqmnCuN
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSVnISZsAU
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOF8CLjnnN
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6OgUffgLl
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIovbS9xs9L
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBLG2cLI6f
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrc00N811l
“Your foot is on my tail!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7sZ2Dhu82
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGtNh03ySD
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDae1dNJrhD
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ894qSLpLFx
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cFlom4MYw
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bFCkyKdsk
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq558PRXNkc
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxdq98iauP
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpGUa0tcCQ
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSak9HrxmL
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV046HX6qu
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNRKkxlqrJ
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yASjtmlap
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.

Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCePDNok3T
Kakarot smiled.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLqy4vq82P
Kakarot: “Understood!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIuIFRGcXe
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK1jXo41zq
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJEn9gWcDW
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy8ENqvWME
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB7RhsDww8
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8V9x9F3oO
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePWcrytstG
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzbGxkyeBz
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfLOcR2dZu
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqGj1ZXtK2

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRza9r2s1Dq
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1QusZSC7u
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoW1OqEN9C

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hCXkcxqi2
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9Rr2BmYpo
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcAAIS6SqX
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.

The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zi7AlyBSV
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJREPegu2h2
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzikNkd13N
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eFQyWNykz
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUfUoHdZGY
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjUgC6ZsdA
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYGNuAO2dx
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGYvDKODr5
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4923kKIaqG
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiR9rNm3ag
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHidCIexAs
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGYdp7Af9l
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhFu1d2UCN

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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD9CNIK0td
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.

Kakarot: “Huh?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAwxZ2qaAF
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO5BVjQUGH
Raditz: “Why you!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYNAzfdsQ5
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJok4lahXtu
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYiHIW14SP

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1G91zrxjl
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwW9QhPl4A
“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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3fh12PLVQ
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGP254lmAE
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsWoKuHkEh
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V4j9K2dJx
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5605p2cqkP
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBjKFCHi0b
Doctor: “I will sir.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFS9N9RCxi
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYsEhBmDI6
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDtch2Klku

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZHC7DEWlj

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PUAS3ULSr

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA6XKM5AgM

Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt0GklCMtd
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1orXbwNfbw
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUctyIs58X
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2KiiFiNLE
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0336t9861t
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qDYMZISfl
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhIMH23TPf
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOvxg9WnVz
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfjtpTl3I5
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYwTYaUBsC

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvtP3BBw3l

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rtt7zfkIk

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrymz8Q8NPt

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh18S1D7x1q

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDYCFuUw5O
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoQTJ6GUk0
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog9n9Hrlin
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvxwwqocPG
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3dTXJTzaq
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlhSXMoWh3
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WrdrFL4IV
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz7vSDLtry

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS0H6j9Dqz
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRzAsL5ed8
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!”

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ZN641d1B
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4EkigDlEx
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEmirVwQMy
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUAWdTR6u5
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzgP0EtADN
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4bjpW0JF0
Raditz: “I will..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqAWAIcXr8
Raditz turned to his comrades.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGX8z0Bm0x
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMubAtWg7y
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCXoTSGkF7
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnI3DMfvO1
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbajQnQpKeE
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BL7BAVnCY
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7zKU6SPvZ
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWuQwEKl92
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif8jtoA7Jw
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcX1o9sRvj6
Beet: “Okay!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBFev6EWC2
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz8YZrPg3O
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tTnh18Z1c
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskIoe3H7ci
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM8jLzLQlo
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFqBjpMPYl
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh1UEWH3TK
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9RzTld8c1
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTm1F3bEBw
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKVTEdkWm7
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdP8e4EeKe
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLarWQDL3m
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU77kMymdG
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5UvVQoWah
Beet: “O-Okay.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82uWSQih8P
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyMVAEaNx4
Kakarot: “What happened?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uyl7vJ7I7
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Til5bKU7
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD18WMCTNW
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QVg0Onffp
Kakarot: “Fine.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VLiHZfx3y
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x7mbx4Y7m
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuF76p7YHy
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYBHhPsueq
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsoLAWM04r
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHVzBfs8Gx
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCqk3lHtN7
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0DcpQXyCq
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNo5804Vnk
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOJinTR1Cg
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3M9DVzj5v
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOLIKR0WoH
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunahoLcYBX
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo6qfa2Yuf
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3RXsUyCZT
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpRyOEFexF
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oTZZz9ABs
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEOytvxOjn
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHwEB8DGRE
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeJgbf0rAS
Raditz: “Understood.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwkpuyB0H5
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK4JB4PBLH
Raditz departed from the room.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8He6FB2u4
“Haaaa”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUo9jfzsOD
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbtQaCMED4
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw6UsSVt4o
Kakarot: “Right.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTaEPFfnAq
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtkgWFl5X0
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a3GboijyW
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnp7DokXZN
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONOBSMTF1P
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S3l9pQ6lA
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hPio9eBwM
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ADtfELksO
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Heh1p6Jde
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR3g20TIbN
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphJp1eczF4
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBQDT0YRRp
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Lox9lcqG
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCgGToN31H
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWg9MIpsav
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aLVoZL4F8
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWKWzVEndQ
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG56j6fIYs
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EUI6dXFXD
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCtTfrQxWk
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAECAH3YVv
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd0PeVEVlE
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZx3enNzZw
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2y1XiRZQ4
Kakarot turned around.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJvpSCdneF
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ABY3uv0dY
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzZYbEs9sE
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeql7TYtjR
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIbonmbgCg
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDjjGGF2FE
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypYKveiOJJ
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIp22eVmRz
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPPUzQRKJl
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSxVxKOGk4
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKySpzuwebM
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hooqMEzsq
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3KDmG2Adt
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb8hoS7tPB
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBMGjevtSl
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD6PhCWe0N
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqlLeCtaWC
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM0M8zpp5Z
Kakarot: “Right!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4oZHDVbbH
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97pr4Ag0nq
Kakarot: “Yes?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIcuTmIHwn
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tn0oU9IsN
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep4gKPa2H0
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatoDtKnTxn
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLv7Q1FwwC
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwZAMh99Gc
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcVP5nBej6
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwj7PYiDW
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgtihV8UFK
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6FXyqSzWk
Raditz turned to his brother.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWaxSo0AQU
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDev0OLiej
Raditz: “Right..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnbVvkmffw
Raditz took off with his pod.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FGPR1kyid
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXngsdgGhh
“Let me take a look.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK2Z8e6A0v
Beep! Beep! Beep!
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrdYJrWuEd
“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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2FkRs7IjK
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsASASNXfi
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F1sDGLXSi
He bowed in respect.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRjoaT0Oh1
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSEE2wrJzr
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kIVq6gF0d
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92kILQghhT
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg87t0NqUlE
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe0lOjbIZz
Raditz: “As you wish.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl26EZSXLW
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnA5nLRjnV
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0lQWNCfIZ
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PVAeBqA4N
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqV9wX952N
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14UdP9KLJg
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MLi2ll51p
Zarbon took his leave.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JVrkPgAAF
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvQPJ2cdSc
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOMNrxxCIM
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aaEZ95V6B
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEyNtF6xwp
Raditz chuckled.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1imMdhuk5
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvSYIqZYuW
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW0dY3spUy
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm94bWHVFXh
Beep! Beep! Beep!
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCdTGL3c34
Raditz: “He's here…”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmZyv95lDt
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL9cGfjiTm
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsNaTsXsAk
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCBZ0pleVY
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x8XLABXLQ
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7ey15NTzn
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz25nvRRjvh
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iAvRyHlaD
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20mnYa0njJ
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZhOctBNBi
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4IOzAIy8A
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlmoL9GwSz
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD6Tdk9eSH
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rxK4bWJFE
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68deLo7fUl
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXIt9wq4fm
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviF5Rsmrpx
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNT0yQunoT
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmh8yORAwo
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhMhTR2vyL
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A3JG8G17R
Raditz: “Damn it!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDK1q0gxpc
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JDY5gau5P
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4FLAYybVc
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAxPObryNj
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpzAvxOLth
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAareNg39gJ
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV023JZdd0a
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmZbBgcdqJ
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLk260o280
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rxWWxaJbz
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuRZvVh4Z9
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N875peNsI

Dodoria: “What is it?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELMSU5WBCS
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGnLxR52fc
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEIJNDX6O0
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSEnF7u3cu
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85YlzKavif
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡel99AqnLQd
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovc2h51P5j
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSiWn07GGG
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdkIfqxhh9
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId7Q5bLpeR
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jcSqouwH7

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5yBsWniKp
Dodoria: “Why you!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohOVavBoL8
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjHa01hM5V
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaYiBFKdmP
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNw6TuF0L2
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffNwSgX2Cz
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBN2LBIn4Y

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IYrEwplfV

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2NOJqgZ0C

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuEHLjU6ff

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipu6QaFdYd
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYvI8Fj3Db
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz6wQe1Hs9
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KlTsZ733R
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeXb77pq9h
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYEyL6gOSa
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HBlEhsRuE
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg2yayUbnL
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BYNIxWGiB
Vegeta: “Huh?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM67B1NNMm

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmU4t5D1np
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPm99hp0ug
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm401OoUHNB
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF0iFUE8C9
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyvTzXfhNc
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8yTdtW2nI
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2GzL3AQ6y
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7aqZfcshl
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAcsu0MR4Y

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r7ZvNuoCX
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyva3qOgwk1
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dN1JLHiIw
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ksn9ZcjGl
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CG0Uz8jDP
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJGBJ4QvPn
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmJrnn81V4
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL68pZCKeL2

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCQ9qV5SqF
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhlnSEnIcU
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7OkqOXCo1
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsZwYhoHdL
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU8FkIf3XM
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm03h46sih
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnuhNssBnn
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8rEpuKkId
Frieza: “Y-You-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4q7Dnyg1Z

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bicnj6Knb

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhnNXew18W
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCRSdOhP5u
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgPNiWDCdI
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKigvQdZ9V
Kakarot: “Not again!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LNbWT1VVI
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9xJuXPBn3
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcagX8fx690

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX90J1dJsz
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2L07PrZuK
Kakarot: “Look out!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA9hiIusxF
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFGGGhS7z8
Raditz: “Nappa!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcEBHp91PF

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TpKDtIfLf
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YsWH8dq5W
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKFhjNCNT5
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ353GOXIzhY
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWwqWJaXep
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqLno6t9c3
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpm93MeWps
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeihQwa0IIS
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxNvYhPN8m
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc7wS2l654
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCPkMEdFZF

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuByAJcDf4r
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf800ek9nm
Frieza: “You again!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvAsniMb1x
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhDVd7rc12
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6d8ZbXsuy
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUdGEmV5H8
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4mq6xbOX7
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS08DMh0YkA
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspqpsbXD7M
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr1JOKWmkP
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ510QLZMCTF
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXiqXDzXXG
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnzy8v684Z
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDKOq47bMT
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEjRjUwd7G
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KetRxRAq9
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6ltoIW9vR
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpPlkdjidX
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vJXDWzCJ7
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh3GY3mlEv
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClsGXtHe6t
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WBnfCaOWJ
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7SCMfTURL
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilL39FDcpl
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULadbKBHQd
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDFlaNjCtc
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOgYGUUIly
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IGZs2g1Et

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvVHbg4iQy
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCXgq2oR3v
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H1rnsFsj2

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8vJ2kJmAF
“Haaaaaa!!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LNvrq830T
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBH5iDy6vV

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3anQu6nH28
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvloIiUM9S
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevF3a2IRub

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL23nmGkb1K

114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTM9xruxNF
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh3e6JQXEK
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUffHFm8pxm
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZOSkWVeAs
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUesfHdexss
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5LHsRuIUw

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9OUiJfOLo
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJb2nO8jiC
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWoK6F3Lp3
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-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8V73VA0UJ
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6d7nWog2Y
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa8Lu85aPP
Kakarot: “It's done…”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOr6gMd6z3
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvIi3kleUc
Vegeta ascended into the air.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vEUDbIL7k
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oy5YMgAZ3
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVErjzU5v1N
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhnGwNbAcF
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dnafX9TLd
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67JK3TuNT6
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEEqZqGwPb
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXI2Ps6IpE
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLziuLmgLA
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88jmbahTjP
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6aYTBRQOR
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKAynhKdtY
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysNtGXBLJd
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0mkGQYjzm
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmurMhHQTr0
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu7BYrZb1P
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvlS7ZK4wA
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwg2bQUYPn
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQwqJcvmtN
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnAyUjDB9a
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctQWGVEalr
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn1JpVnVYY
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA04tF8qn52
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PFsPOO28J
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wK4CIwdO4
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kGqMaBVwG
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVkoGT90R9
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9BAAApZLB
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0sxzRhjSh
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyELLpXIST3
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuNsRb02jz
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwdNQ04mMl
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5mdqZRRnL
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib7HV2TS5X
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanByTjgTO0
He looked at his fist in shame.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RIuuQekww
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgWXuiSEbP
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNBY8MA3Z5
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjV5Sdx3Yw
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XNTtbzK7a
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcJv9o64JJ
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm272w8yrnR
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbWNVNfK7h
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavdB06YHTI
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplzvGVkI05
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO8DyBTJoI
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtXTJQDjF6
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXALJbBpWN
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcHxv9MM1e
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpmXjBrbdY
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..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMCx4c1PNv
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jrhMAswpu
Kakarot: “No…”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld2XewWtj3
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe5K2nK7Bn
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv57xCqdxM
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24pED151qn
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rOAjkfkXg
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWSGkMT1zl
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjOnmHWx5y
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxcNiJwjw2
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2dKgh9NZ0
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD9tIlolRt
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnRfJbe9Fh
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgASbCOtMAy
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f3XtNq00k
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIN3hl5YTB
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihkT1fHagl
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZ6SIiaSjd
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjhvUiGJAs
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysLCiFKLMM
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdXuJ61Alw
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukyv7aDZPh
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxgsvSxBZ7
Raditz bowed down in respect.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhSE7a5nP9
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIT0ynG9j2
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsrElqFAeT
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONhDO4f06M
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTEKHKTumR
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrB2nTkI7b
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGldrJUZjR
Raditz: “Right!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcgIg1ld31
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6QrDJhW9X
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRzUsM6jiM
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi2EYlOwhM
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAlWRhfuMF
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStyGLFXnD2
Tears ran down his face.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2db0gm9dcS
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?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyK8qEe0qJ
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3QTihnIDV
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBhbRakYxL
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaoTft0rL9
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sjqSBJhxb
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yRtEat8bM
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdStOVOo9ET
Raditz smirked.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOimeyUQ4Y
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb8Jr0pdrL
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR5rVpfthe
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiagPstcrLq
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMAj93HzK1
He pounded the ground.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9mllu6rU9
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHet5sHpFGE
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETCuYg8LU0
Kakarot: “To fight!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbipDg8nzi8
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aidjGKhbY
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWGrVBmJon
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeGyPbvbKl
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp0hS6HJcj
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24itbgIutu
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1p3EzkJCe
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ6QGkITIa
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9u8ssHgJC
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!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4IlTZMBjQ
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.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBq8lfmSdi
Vegeta: “Wait!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjBfFlhZyL
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.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ81yCzLr7
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCxnbAYnLR
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KlcgdSSrc
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdeuz8vFkY
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.

Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
