Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ8WSC5ZQc
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAiWRIlNYC
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwzq2Xze1M
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijNmNfPvTb
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fk3vab3n8
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUtJRj7tGo
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5mRAcJnGr
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnxQKBaEks
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskQrXsnZbX
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyKuyRNaU0
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzk2EGn6Su
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjXXiGjGqr
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5rurWOheW
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfFZtwQbZn
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ311xl5Atl
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2PMucmvWj
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYoXiAV477
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlotI4qYG4c
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnybEELUaeW
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GoN7koGSI
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwhCBi4V2W
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6RFRm6mqi
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPm5bmwnz3
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmg4TeR7r8
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0X9DXWAEk
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTba0sm5SMq
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwZliQZrNE
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPFF50EV6k
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iN9D9OC51
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx15ivnbz2z
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYZvZtKSxD
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE3zJAx3Qk
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYe2cYgVU0
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh6ReCALRN
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUKhLsoOed
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFTMmRw8VJ
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYEGDEE8dl
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltEPNPBqiG
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU5kjal0p7
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgKfGlTsQt
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwf9F7G95J
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR1SWQxUje
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnaRTVBIG5
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMc0tUtkVV
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTI23Oy6Yg
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKkvEzisOv
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbNzfDBRXX
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc294CxWJLC
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hYCQL6v1o
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFMcgS6JPj
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTjTjzhbjW
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIQm2t558K
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG4JwD7HOh
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbHwsOUxut
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡag894ssrH3
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0UWwajr7x
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q6x31MPt2
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd8kIiTxvv
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44CReHIdr1
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EyhcVxvza
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYt5nIiDa5
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD7NHM2Se8
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQYzP9LkbA
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6b3v5lge6
Beet: “Haaa!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMzsBn5U6D
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn0LBO8ZjA
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmy4CxzEto
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCtxwehx3w
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z3xjuxuPq
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYYp4GPBUr
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz02KUzkdUy
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-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDGh6c3svu
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB55fgz8px4
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhoLvmKXlb
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OPFp5AjCh
Kakarot: “Enough”!
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM0VC5546O
Beet: “Huh?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiB0d8Ug1H
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4if1QLLBxt
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHALxrETb3
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8lZnh9KNm
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNt6MsgHuUd
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK3cDsAcJH
Beet: “Right!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrX4mx14up
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoWumgpEHt
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP3g0OWwOZ
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL65Jc1w5eQ
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y8HbUwNYT
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh0ex3KgdZ
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFynLr31uC
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVcbEvurDo
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsTdb7HLyR
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHNxkIIzk8
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSCNGamJM4
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HO7g82SVB
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl4EAEuGmK
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiii9kNuqTo
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9oFrvw9wD

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEs70M4FG6
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkDuiDlvmu
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYXpsDAIoI
“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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1J7G7k8qb
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa14KdOt9zE
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LOWJfK7hm
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl6Aa2s8Bw
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYABJYXTiuG
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLGRe37fxX
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7uno1r3B8
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn5AKi5LX1
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt0dIQQBRk
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SOtR5okQ0
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5idDLFIeqx
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagRaE1YowH
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqwOLj4tsu
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYXXxOBybM
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjUIrAuV8x
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiBEqqc5S0
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPglZ5bw4K
Bulma chuckled.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3bR40MKwP
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PY1lHoEWS
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnkkFfgvbK
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOyp4BSwFV
Beet: “Momm!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakIFy5RdU5
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGwTtOLVUC
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKh0yyd3TK
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUbvUSc0W0
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7NmxJ0yY6
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJykhVcW7u
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmMxMhwc4e
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA5vMiyqQS
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMEjoZBOQ0
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4XOIuOjEQ
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVch9di2cY4
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRXqdUQ37v
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZJiqPp0Bm
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9kYiTaoUA
Kakarot: “Enough!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CjUJSVCvd
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzToPp7c0Ba
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v1Vk4vmqR
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI6eez6j8b
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNTl4gVsEc
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHPX6nYH9f
Beet: “Sir!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIpO5V2RMe
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAz8hzxZoz
Bulma: “Beet!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWBti9zX0Q
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt9q8ne8mf
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwezaVLQfjD
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrsWkeC24j
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6dBrzwQsh
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz8CFerrug
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5iG7XF249
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHVACmkvL1
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwfyqOEvr9
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q3aGBNtZr
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oT0ySzcDA
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMPW8Mp7Qp
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”

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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZGD2ao6QY
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuNvi2YUdS
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAy3adtnpw
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC6QJo4cjM
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hJLMNNI1F
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe4RykHiTe
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOAWr3lboj
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bISZSQ8aG
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB8dhMkO20
Raditz: “You have my word.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2agyJlu26T
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrWcaGx2yA
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnfw9A3F0q
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj9AiwMzb6
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7WpflHuIg
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolgNIZuGU0
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNgKpNrfUe
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUNPRbJqyD
Raditz chuckled.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcLINdoWKo
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIAPs4YARH
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn8UxsE6N2
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p90x9E2yR
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUOLw9zmLA
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ2SrY19Se
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jlgMUndTD
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOGrA63n38
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcggKQ3fgK2
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdERmt6vgL
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlJANYIrAE
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyomU8ZuUbL
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1TQeGLhts
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPLZ7MX9C3
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMyxJQqnvZ
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEnmQ8Z1ug
Raditz took a deep breath.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI14ijWSZ6
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqyCBk3v20
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5VmPBtPVd
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7ACPtED0M
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5rsSDLub0
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYBkl6CrhQ
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBIgBo8CVo
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WwxGRFlYe
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5SLZzmtmX
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9EFLKGtJn
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlipkH8Qqnx
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUZYIsUUHp
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevmnCzC0rW
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMlHnzFpuT
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcDDur6l0Z
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSpR8WSDKE
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8708jHQkh
Kakarot: “The prince?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDsf2KAtUU
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLp6Qs3amR
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnM4ebl0fdh
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KyDttuUJH
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAOPbRt2Mh
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7xtV03QKL
Kakarot: “….”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO72L9vapZl
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6RjRPIyGX
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FMg0iDWvl
Bulma hesitated to reply.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWo7fKpJjn
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZxKGXQr0I
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpWBUcYpvC
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jAJxqtzdX
Beet: “Sir!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHODDf95YmB
He came face to face with his father.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgjBqXMfoG
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSdx4Md7cD
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn03iIxxYI8
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpim7V0BM5
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq26nO69l0
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXBRUhvzJ4
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdBR0n6IWi
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAmlgZ5WpX
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRTLYFk3UA
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1AthawvsM
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDeHa2AoZi
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LCPxUxcRw
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCEAQMHMRK
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvgJBcZgKa
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.’
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0kLimhJDd
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCE33oIEtS
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu9xvIMx5Q
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl9hPXM2Q4
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNzgMRxBRn
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou2S22jHOy
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeAUN5zzEp
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThxNuoEhbM
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk13SU6uib
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGldA5dAAL
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gqkkzMkOc
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AgWWo5qql
The prince hesitated.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy0n27nql3
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fyM3LNVk2
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZevMhxgeCe
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8NZ6AvQyl
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J1VUQxDm7
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfWCJtkdnE
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLmvUq8caL
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqUCgU3GsW
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkLAKvIL8u
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxLMPlkqjv
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAc8urfkDo
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNupYl0Cxsh
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mThbgftpx
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkmrM24rWQ
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeypi12YaDx
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF7dBf9tmL
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquMz4cu7Hy
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr2hEFRw17
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeCXDlhS3f
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmkXkEXQAN
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaTxC9tUFN
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCiRSLYsCz
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXXBCNlWAJ
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp60oUEtbKM
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Zbcd5CBz
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVKB6JDLTI
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQO3RGVRmP
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuJV3DwWLB
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOer13G2i8
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoY7NfWDer
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCAIZ24G4N
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FXL4ewhNX
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnBJ5Awtda
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkL5N5HTCi
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bWnvrn0ro
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXB6SfOgkW
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLIZbe9V7l
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfLH2Cvoch
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCck6TJwAEt
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFmrVLZlRp
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS1ZUKyQL3
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoys7i2Bz0v
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMpCMT1TQw
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuscJU8Ey39
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Si4aaIDB
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRueZGad5Re
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5WYQVKb2H
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpYrneLeKJ
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIdBSjm8nb
Kakarot: “What was that?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8mc1Y6hZU
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiAlyvwTr0
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU20y4jCjr2
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJZ0UGtRqu
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7NKV8K5ZV
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTyojRYUAW
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVd2Fq6K09L
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYpZwBV0Kf
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZxy3QezQ0
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKjWaTTjTl
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhEvawlwbN
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRVoJ14Ffn
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OyKEZxPCa
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1iMJfhC2N
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvpnbnlRQk
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz6uhOL5mE
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xhx2TUj1j
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G77xdxQ6B
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOI4Tlx9b4
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvdBddC0j1
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuMevfxp54
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwt2MRmnL5
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps2RIuIjef
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpL84fGO6l
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.”

The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGoCPf8wO1
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNwYM9fepN
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2EnNxDiBt
“Your foot is on my tail!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zV68lFktQ
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AZ8WlazGd
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q08NB7Jc2
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHKrvNM6Id
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK4akBlIbx
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE13uOv48vf
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jfXDdvbOT
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z2CSuTBmG
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk9u7ck5eR
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFcJQFhEmO
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsf1OyMMdH
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ553jYb15Jo
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0zTmBVbqC
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cYqv08c6r
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSJ1bd7kzX
Kakarot smiled.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSxKXQjCVA
Kakarot: “Understood!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs0SDpvJRz
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfDK8EtEQ3
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD9nH87MP8
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd89g7ixv8u
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oEVmR9v2z
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBanRE2pxxU
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTzQ1a16ej
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThZnVbcwNz
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaB0E1wGsp
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHPXULtvqP
Vegeta chuckled.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVSQRwDa8j
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF3xQVczPf
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj5JhHYp9B
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMADW39Wv3
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN8wldfRAL
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVz7pUJ6RM
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHrK3gtATR
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk6culQie1
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfuFnm5RJY
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3NHIa8kjD
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.

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJCD5GADNO
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZYVqES6Lg
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzA6T9BhJaz
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9sOaI36Yb
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJPSNDIvQn
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCC7DFMHe8
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqbGakJcxg
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw2b6cBDyy
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0mJ9ud8Qm
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm3dBIJ2Ml
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQbpbrIEnc
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPbHZ7peB0
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2e9kum1Ue
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nmda8qoMI
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPgaKeOzCZ
He took a peek at his injuries.

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG46ahBZYo
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur5k6W0nnd
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxDzRwJIeE
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLtm7P6Y4U

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTndClVdr9q
Kakarot: “Huh?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXdTVYSqi
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhf7xAzYUZ
Raditz: “Why you!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4T93hIOzl
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfav1nxDWQ
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe6lNzZb24
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.

Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9NYMWTYqg
Vegeta: “Save your breath, boy. Get him to the ship, if we make it back in time, he'll be able to make a full recovery.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AG8P2N5nF
Raditz: ‘Right!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO7CpHRCdo

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexTJ6eQvA2
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAGQyydalA
“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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzof7Onv3bV
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQFU10ULL6
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CraIoXAX1
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSbUAHt5WZ
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyztQkaWkb
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW7KLnqf4m
Doctor: “I will sir.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQOadruCZw
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DQvf4Frdi
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iOzAIAohp
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q2ZZ3CTr5
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFv683KlQW

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaWdO5YpQy
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbfMt2TM7L
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGTipieuYQ
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKwCBKIYtc
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnEqhF57PJ
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplse2njy0S
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDGEiAZ8FG
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfRfIEGh2m
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu2C0PGbZN
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo4lRZELOp
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMzxeDCK61
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ApeektPw
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTgEObSCkg

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWxW3qv4uZ

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XOCKH9qKc

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhvuvBVhJQ
Kakarot turned away to face the door.

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYYFY8VQMx

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZNlCll4qL
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoaOLy3p2O
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhrZ6xJx1M
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGeduAPMhp
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp9YzFy6x3
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO9WVrfUV3
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH3oU6XU3B
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSRonBFJqS

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ura4KRt0
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2HEOb9xAZ
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUsBUZjsfI
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHKVywKu2r
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicGEQlcJG8
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWTy66kpa4
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGegCegb4Jn
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbelXiBKU2o
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZxDxpQV9h
Beet: “Okay!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NHudPTzVu
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Dw9RHkYc
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQhdYedweC
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbIKBJVNws
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LI817VKYo
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5M93zPwdT
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgk8SsXo7i
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuesxxW016U
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcQlqQ7tpJ
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduTSV3dgSZ
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJQbM44ayU
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw54Smc5CK
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqyGvdsmQl
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8sRo2sd3p
Beet: “O-Okay.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIxoLc3s22
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtACwFQlcTj
Kakarot: “What happened?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51BzZ1ROOa
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0CFz4kmqW
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxctg2XH7K
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYOPONrnCd
Kakarot: “Fine.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXND9SIPQa
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrQOde2CMY
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69XvJPEVYF
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Q1WEhC7f
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1lf6dGUfJ
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4qiuOXUfk
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezY5ybKbq2
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh86X9UFWB
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlnVFQrNUY
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnrMnUOFWJ
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOQCAQ6omf
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJpHScVIMr
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RtnhCJsYg
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjhRoctfN1
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrGEyHblJ8
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb1aMLT22U
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPfQmTRDgb
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfNZ5pJ5zp
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZyvLAlrl7
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujNqHuCPxX
Raditz: “Understood.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bLeTJhEvZ
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBGuzdrpXi
Raditz departed from the room.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqSFRQvaLh
“Haaaa”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgwZD23UZh
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPoG8Rv2Qe
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ171oVXTtNF
Kakarot: “Right.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyOYRsvls0
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY9PCeEarR
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa43wlSax4
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGSaEBiDXd
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ9RiLSfQ9
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoxKg5Uw99
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneIVylqI0T
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5kH8VvTI0
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9sEdTJ7aI
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NDVcY4vdK
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOxeOJo3CU
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxkWRv6r4o
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2emxczc99
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmYFGQy6ZJ
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruV37vc6hS
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQIPOMRjjT
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UdbGVAM25
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t84cjbeAr
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRrnZbkRkH
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgL0lAe9tf
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0p200OfOn
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D3lTNa5BG
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4zYgWXAAM
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RKeJUvkus
Kakarot turned around.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKOw2w4QgT
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaCxSotJCw
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SAGw9Eoq0
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95CIo2hr01
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfFuTYhyc7
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq9qMH7Sn3
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Ez84zbVn
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLeGzKf8I7
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwSBbtFAX4
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ1DNdAI4x
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5leYAoq4XP
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYtCmYeVC0
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G4N7XzMhf
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf83vfOcQX
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX2OXVHm6l
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4iOl1Si5B
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMASNDkGeLX
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF27P3OYcgW
Kakarot: “Right!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbTajx8tEX
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2aqmXzYd7
Kakarot: “Yes?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHTumleKHb
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pdz1xHwBK
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZYVTEDzYV
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAsVDHP5Z5
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5RCUweow6
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECqvKg23s4
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnx6FSEHK9
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopAVWgRKSj
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrJisAG8AA
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb55mGQVZxr
Raditz turned to his brother.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G0wvLbMmi
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHJCz2yeoe
Raditz: “Right..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw9TNz3x1l
Raditz took off with his pod.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbfQvVJToA
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkTXNn4q42
“Let me take a look.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZF6d9rYeO
Beep! Beep! Beep!
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoN5QCWVxq
“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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVRaqrJsWx
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf3KJntsoE
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQg06lnHfj
He bowed in respect.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpX1n7voh4
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkzhKW57D9
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLPLMBpfFQ
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2w3yfpBvD
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhwJhlJCiY
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3tEXDJD1z
Raditz: “As you wish.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Uv1Da9J1O
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYtcnyCDb2
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL7Wm2tBEX
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElKx6CPuuZ
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Aj2cShRcN
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxtDyiz5m2
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf85vBLYux
Zarbon took his leave.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qaRtX2ht4
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnpUvaypHS
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE0pbNuU3H
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vsd7Mz2HN
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3XrSqBTeT
Raditz chuckled.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH6eyQ01Ei
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxbkEYhpuW
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4grTVfa0wl
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGjWj6OGgs
Beep! Beep! Beep!
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZKYelQ5CI
Raditz: “He's here…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnJGF1dmdR
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yuASnsiEh
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTl1cLDCRi
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJo4O61LkU
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj1DRFiaGK
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sBsVfadt9
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFVqDc9lch
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwRkJCu8tV
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS9lSw5e17
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3910m1eGi
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoZ22DTzT1
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PN9Q4KA7d
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfZGE4wxKb
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk9la9nVPz
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc2yiEwUdc
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAibp0Jauc
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Lv9Np4sF
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo0v21LVgV
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWThDFueIi
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukchk5WBR4
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRuCA6uuyH
Raditz: “Damn it!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfrJe8HASV
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wEA2Hbmtq
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaNM1U9nqb
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTvFHYWnkA
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOucMaWS5Ds
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwefRYCddw
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOo1tM5pI7
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJz10wDwNg
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzArmx27AAO
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzyTytyG14
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg12Flw9OJq
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlq8F0s6Z1
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b7Rfty2yV
Beep! Beep! Beep!
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJbzbdjPUb
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQsQEXFk0v
Dodoria: “What is it?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMA5YWVamC
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKByd3w2lX
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgq5LY5v1b
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbiBhcSUox
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdim9Sq63k
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKubHgRZMo
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLJgYgmvA0
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDujQx2UW0
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkX9XJITzz
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwES9b68x4H
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W4e3CtTcD

Dodoria: “Why you!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XNQvhl1BB
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhpxN7kuxO
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Lc5O8nNZ
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqKJ2c3HHX
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZpRv1pYat
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDIti1zYC1
Zarbon: “Die!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdcv28fgOw
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JywvZLIky
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHcUhzyDYi
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHNj2eTn1c
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA7bYopLzj
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQP0XGR9To
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy4KAQF9v5
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qSo3mZR8T
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye3fTJ4XNb
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqIKgbhQhX
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs2gGh79w2
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzXK7PlKqM
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzvu8s775l
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM8jFSmqbk
Vegeta: “Huh?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVPvjAvtSk
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleIm1rI4sx
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPFnmUWuQJ
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRtmFrKuTk
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMHKPBmOTY
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICEh3UPZ8v
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZCgKleGco
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXxcGAUREf
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeb0sJY1JQ
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvIjabVU6A
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpt6toSzht

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zO2UYsrJR
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hbqRw5PLq
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ots9ll7ZH
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjLpXKUpQt
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwktAwVEPz4
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaqS3nVGqR
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2G1dpMRVI
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiheMDTlmm
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxeZLZAash

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uEkzvJdEr
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDhLpR7sOq
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iCcjApTWD
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ad8TRaIBc
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF22vKqyXDh
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VU0Qejzq3
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliXAc3CLeT
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndnSWtLsEP
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1rrPqV0zm
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcfUiIPttJ
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11tAhjoLmo
Frieza: “Y-You-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98zjoJoN8j

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzoe2MR0lG

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Ebmea0Df
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZVZUESpH
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8cR8G8Poy
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZsalDD9C7
Kakarot: “Not again!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoQ8XMq8CP
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kkTpLhRkV
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiFBgjLTtu
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq8wODKzd7
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAIWn8vZVz
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GRDDw8A10
Kakarot: “Look out!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypFAcFBFVT
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl71j1W6PK
Raditz: “Nappa!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudfCpSNsGg

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbWbBG8WE2
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7ax9aqvs4
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBpdP2WWm1
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCWAPkw5Ae
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulhCfPRMYa

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlLjgKa16c
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL0R6HmYkR
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Grt9jkMYt
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpTxvofuSh
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrpEFWufgY
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCZDIi7vMY
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjic22rW0ga
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl1lg1qIoj

Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh9lcs7k0p
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEDKMoJNHa
Frieza: “You again!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQC20475q4
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhD7PVcgpc
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVpHqtkCAN
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8GHCVEaPC
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKao0rbzmQD
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz3dTiXtzk
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDsgpIC3Ih
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGYzRAgffO
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCiupwdvuC
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRduYUyvFHQ
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjB4BqVi6C
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIAyerNSxa
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONENeVMgwB
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5Odx2eMhj
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT6ZS4jl5A
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dl1Qlxo9w
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfCwDFDdLN
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54h2XC8Ncr
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m2usbx6uq
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnNHMYrTMK
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zli59BfVN
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ811mjDAPgC
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJKcCGUX3s
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVdCkhZucx
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajQp7TpiFZ
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2RxEV9fXX
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5cndx2fCU
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88TbeyZXrR
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymPEOQ43lS
“Haaaaaa!!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkHSQtPcrn
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKnso8XTy1

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihUkG20ToP
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXugYtJbm6g

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7zc5XE8HN

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKeDfPe0Yo
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFXFbAQlhi
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmY8EE3VBE
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN7VUsdngG
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtds9gS2pq8
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE8dLx626e

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysXwyLc3qZ
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkxSAThrXT
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGrlMNseN8
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3fWXBcByQ
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruPGhzB2Y2

Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5fZxTE3Gz
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HKKXSPZTd

Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLpeXJcSOD
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs5Gb4shLa
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeQXoCW3Cn
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN35UKScizh
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6dtkEIgUj
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrB5qvdYbn
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlNcsNarBR
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4fInLaP2A
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjGnEz65qF
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8lNgbW65J
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTApwcZtI2
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMk5ioOvMa
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTuUGe8jEw
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6a9eGN7fq
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwRmyIDZYu
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgYApr3Vko
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6GVH9D6J2
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMQvIaez1R
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDtP7QjJD5
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6mzbNpdel
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkfFpVOsY8
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RDuBLfY14
He looked at his fist in shame.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn1ELcRbup
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NRSvgDSvo
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zCsUvfDtP
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj1UpUXAqW
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7rdp53Qi8
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k4VplynvF
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA0SKh3lUd
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqMTD8wTeG
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4XzQr3Sqz
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6aIJdwd4Q
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wfwlDrIMG
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jnzporpfb
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSW9F4ZEDP
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDyeBLMhlO
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jMhszrhaY
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..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc4JdiKrb7
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLjuutIcrc
Kakarot: “No…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrMToNhe7o
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Fe8thzsp
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhahB5pljQc
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgbDNNwfrq
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFOkad2z30
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTuxd3HAuH
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfu6XKi80Y
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnaT3QLdG4
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jb67b1fy0
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSahKYMcOC
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeybXWjThP
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslBs5dKvKF
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h41RH55GI
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEqiCvRmrb
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBegZ8R4qsW
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXCFaB8B98
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBb76vPTtx
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHedzZdZgwB
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7PgjmPRd5
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVhfBECqdy
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPe0vxNFpo
Raditz bowed down in respect.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlsEGa7Yrk
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9U6u1YKcM
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HUMA0xltd
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ3FctClml
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6w9r4myaU
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsphZVK71w
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFML1JF2sUH
Raditz: “Right!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXponpZrXrz
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfHuW8mTil
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe4hUzId5l
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9QFKjKORa
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9rekRUAaK
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGnmlrtINZ
Tears ran down his face.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiyLMyk9PU
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?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXl7vrpNZ6
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kYeLjZojt
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DpowOYy7C
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmMACDaaOH
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HpOJB0vgp
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXhxaGynO0
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq83xHrEimq
Raditz smirked.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Loq4vyUe
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye5W7cymLr
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHExNrEE7I
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k2YHePg7j
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0xVNGUWdA
He pounded the ground.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1gxjdh5mN
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCTwtEf8CH
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0O93A3Mjo
Kakarot: “To fight!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGhWjjwUB6
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujlcr6o0kQ
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv3IgjeLO1
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuyTyeCKmO
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ssscQRaEx
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiKJAhjc5L
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tD5tvrbfz
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjTiQmrPQH
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwNbTxCvZl
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!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimhonU7JRj
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.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyCOW1KLn6
Vegeta: “Wait!”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXWJWeQp6w
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.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqZCPsSSKb
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuunktcaqem
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec1QJHdZck
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”

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."
