Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftpM4SzBrm
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz9bqZhXbg
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgHspEBUwi
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDoi8RBfOQ
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WzuBu52Lx
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BsjucipEr
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m7U6JW6kG
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0tzJdn0oA
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCh6hXfwyY
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLypBkyHGnM
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZLfVOSeoL
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhP9BJF8ehz
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpWPTk5wZ9
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Snb6MJSr4
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEfChco3x9
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnEOfSt7xi
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbrM1dTak8
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFeH3tcieB
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlqiF7x2Li
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQKBQvluR1
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGSG6oNRtD
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXTOCSR6EC
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D4jioqjpC
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvfOo1DSNq
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYHwTArkWa
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTTFFobq9O
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX7cCBFbnh
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqFj97qnsJ
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6JZ54mNqq
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmQTG3gC1O
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWzIyzDtri
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwL3MmARPu
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1W3PfrRir
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ll80TOUpy
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisdHanzxtV
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSEUxtbOY0
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wCS0rN3Mw
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqRRCOPqO2
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdNiktZbJe
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu82Kz0PbCV
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBzggFePKc
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyssZqgz3S
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20pooivYl7
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fO4Y5zu0l
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJgz4TzDY1
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxRuVGLNNR
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFShnrHDeU
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uUmsZAFHk
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttqNfFd3GL
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQsrCEGDQW
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatzeA5xY49
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpPdZyNZtB
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPvwR0BnNp
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrO4JU5Hgt
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9Yq2iTpBs
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO8CnOYPlL
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqEUNtfQ0D
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4ttD7lUtY
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWbecesqCS
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LRaCVgZan
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYtKhqlmy2
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrFYuxJT2t
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPrgEVc3NA
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfZsHPjC7c
Beet: “Haaa!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7QRxnLSuU
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV8HbXCuxt
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz8iQcCMSB
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMMtMrtbYS
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzaocVCjH4
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ2TWgKS6W
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUfURzXnyh
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-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXq6TJnfx9
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsuPCLtwC7
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58HI1IgzD8
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51uoMMovzb
Kakarot: “Enough”!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i8BiIJX6l
Beet: “Huh?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeg6WSldiA
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPmB0c4G1N
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6nCK9lr5Y
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbd1SZdwwJ
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjkpLii9tW
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi6JCLMkFS
Beet: “Right!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdSqT8k4BX
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIdrbkVzF8
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HUu4Jy5m2
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB1YkZ5cW7
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoxhoNQwSz
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLFNYoqv5e
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuutM00GgLR
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1AwwGod2l
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTlHdoseWv
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0OJkyw2Hj
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAZlgbnXyF
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0BM62VsWK
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNSMGu1hTD
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrvD6gWZEk

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK8YBkUaGm
“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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBvJiMfMlk
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfojbtcOCTo
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHiprmlnE8
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajj9lL1cix

“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpoxgSFT5D
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbwZKKHaB0
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUlEXW2NrC
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.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNZNnv90eF

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTIyQ7pMln

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgDojhsbGK
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pq57w8G7f
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiouspsr7u
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Y0tRpeIb
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpgOezCwLA
Bulma chuckled.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLCck2ePEO
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.”

Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHF2G4TtCS
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXDXKXm5tb
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRlz6YLfEn
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikGDlwVYUf
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0iTtlTwth
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxouKdCqbL8
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nHYf9DQ52
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtulO9iLNcJ
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ8l4NuSrx
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9DzJEaB73
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETgj0F6eM9
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnOXNghX6i
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXm4Vw8q8j
Kakarot: “Enough!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUOmZ0aEAK
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5aBchUnq6
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP5WjmXMFb
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDV4LU9qiC
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79343BGCET
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76u5i1ME5e
Beet: “Sir!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboZis1EcJK
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGrvYF3PIO
Bulma: “Beet!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj0ZPO485K
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhleuO5QbJd
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JVAeB50dv
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAGkUa532D
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUF8ZVRB55X
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvYRTfkHdG
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUNRLxtWFj
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzWMdCz9WD
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zavgiteJj
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSO4Ogz4xwP
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZviziuNu4U
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQMcYm9Ibc
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYz78GRErY
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHh91Nx0sQ
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLWNfbgpcs
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH04E918CMF
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4KvuJ4u2y
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QmfoNbZLI
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQGpDqshKd
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDpB6IwDmH
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGINBOcVd1h
Raditz: “You have my word.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkBhF1yZOF
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuucciSBDt
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO93dtriZMh
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWTh1Vn4tf
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUe0EQAd9u
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz6ovyw0eB
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1afqYr4erx
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9L5dCmZb7
Raditz chuckled.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVi5c8QX4t
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0wpNJwope
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA5UVYTiei
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7VV4wDana
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9367Fb6Yo
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrcIRo0uC7
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ4u2VKsdY
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQHegwBPGV
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGdwpcqe8P
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2t4XHqaFc
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa9bywpBH4
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg28d5DMju
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FgMjJfbAG
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE0Z81r37N
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWLNOxUnfY
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaMftOrCYy
Raditz took a deep breath.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupvABPzWLa
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59g2o69hvK
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgtinqSoqh
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsphMygtGua
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PrOQlALjk
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy45x5fa9lU
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH2g7cCAWY
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrHKiXO0zw
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkvcVBwDeb
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9XXVFomVh
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHlVq4R8vb
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmTCX2Leg9
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU2J6RjHri
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXGzDAESfs
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFNwbB3hgo
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrrEXTF7NB
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHri9nDwJN
Kakarot: “The prince?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK3QcyK4yo
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KURfDJb9f
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhR99nGJZc
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxpWUq4Uhw
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvRarvBF7Q
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO2vfFdT0O
Kakarot: “….”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ1YVvuiDN
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdi4zHbWLJ
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblbHPxBZxm
Bulma hesitated to reply.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBexk7Zxcs
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EB11KpYwQ
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsxXM2P3KO
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFyrukHPJc
Beet: “Sir!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGNn5aqIT4
He came face to face with his father.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIAXNF0JO0
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQvcUGQEZ7
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE4o21uv64
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsjyJyTmss
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzQGoztIH6
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG8G4mfEXb
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qcLi1mGgT
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD45rDawWUo
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQ2wJtRf1W
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN6xp2tJez
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEr8F3DkRY
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg53RlFDGt
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG86Ds8wL79
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeM10cgOJd
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.’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF05v6u7H0Y
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtW3iArE9H
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnmvMKZUrg
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFoBzADJCd
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR56nL6cac
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIhpnSmrL5
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNMQOgCC7i
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwdSUpZEmR
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcajojYENbU
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lxTzF3KTD
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjZdySjYj9
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2YOAVynAl
The prince hesitated.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3bcY6W2tR
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YNjFdbjjV
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k2MZKAEur
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVEKdc6Lym
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIyikBBwh9
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYraYw52dXc
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8alp1BrGbM
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD1uOj73jI
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoKaPeY8x5
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73fZjQ8ia1
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ372S3MjOGC
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwffzJEm1C
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOyAcFhdk0
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyzso9w5uh
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXCZhfJumf
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPt6oHqTIS
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNukJt8aW4F
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe1359G1QP
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6718yBjl6
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUWC6IZomb
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKRV5CidGJ
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qs1Cd6xDf
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST31QLZHsH
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4jrsiT5Yo
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhXibO3QN6
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WP78k95uX
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jK4Mro15n
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKXmNsfOrn
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6kd6JT4Oe
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHmDusW3HS
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCrG9THVmk
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWo48Cx36H
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8yVQtigMS
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7JmblTKbJ
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaoAXI5lxy
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7bK0zC2Ga
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCzCLBdDfb
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMctgHVZeY
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKzmqfhONC
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ817AtWfvZv
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M2HJla6z7
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOwnG1Bepu
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW4SyaLYdX
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRxmQKNM9R
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3IHI4Gq6E
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtNMFtHkTU
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTWzcWzYqS
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg3QOGKMsU
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr106MNlnw
Kakarot: “What was that?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI6qTtAWJp
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffYsJtToZ6
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpePO7JSjbv
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH1HSp3lrO
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7AZFUF9RQ
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqapdlUl8m
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkLnlmZkh5
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIWGko0Nhi
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzf0TbSsHe
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP27hLe9ZN
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbhGPuR3N1
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNiSaWrdXG
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoAuMHPygN
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsQb7nosFD
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppx6f2PFwo
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIWs3w1zrz
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGcmgoujQ9
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54xdApjmTv
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxpcpHlaVq
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLIq1nbPrT
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByID0x2vpN
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75XtKfoUBX
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoXa2GWvdD
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgxxE7zvAx
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuMjSMExpu
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiKpl20jgy
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2DbP65kBG
“Your foot is on my tail!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9OZS49loU
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ80CMvbnAm
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiMlDxfxji
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHFvhBSalE
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNFIytrdhq
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4sEUVoqBi
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprj8FfhP4G
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hVVg0LMo9
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWHfdLynJH
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf2G6wh1eT
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhtPDaE9JC
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTTsUwK2oN
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQobkXUrjj
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDpC11oNZA
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RZI6PG3t6
Kakarot smiled.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI5zOQayHt
Kakarot: “Understood!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI28Sr9wPS7
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5gwXN7xkD
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZYSebU7TD
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ910bpXeLh
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnHAmb4BvM
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlVVB2UVxi
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTozm7A8mvz
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeIcRrdKpr
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7p2KBXvH4
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkD60ztNFS
Vegeta chuckled.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvD4NVY6Ok
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBObxYhe6h
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusPcCIidFX
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKskxxXmHD
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4vYuFLerd
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7nAfiTYHi
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPj2sOllSe
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJiBsMElBR
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IlYwiCivY
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvgUKyI1fF
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.

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW6ukVgFMB
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8v8F7A7rA
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlbe9XGR0L
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBpeYXT1sf
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPJPr5EB0w
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva65YdTdlH
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4Bphww9H2
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJr6herUe8
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEtN8yxstM
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7zC2qCdSE
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LmY8kL3BL
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2EzoSjW6S
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5hlecJrQ8
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjr9CwNCYI
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFtFUXlhSd
He took a peek at his injuries.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhEFdIv4Sx
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjcPC2zi0d
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jNluvN9hh
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iOYgClTl0
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnCIfKNVB6

Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRBKs70aoJ
Kakarot: “Huh?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjD5gQWSp1
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcoi0Q0Y04
Raditz: “Why you!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6GpoLBM71
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9uGLeIOe2
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmYDKEDMN1
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCkMmt63cq
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAEP5efiGs
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNEk9kqHP8
Raditz: ‘Right!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WuyDC1MHs
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz62MNjpvEy
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZyUECrKIC
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUhmcMkUeA
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC4nSkA5LJ
“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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbwC5xJPoo
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnkmDuXB5g
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xuVg7H2lw
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLucWd4jHF
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs1HcFQBar
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD7tDwjVdq
Doctor: “I will sir.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqsHEipvRM
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc5toBQSUC
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMEt3r1ebe
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3gcrgZldh
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnXMDwRk6P
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3FC68Xjw0
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfiSvjBzHu
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8MyOKegOP
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlicNXI6xp1
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KUKpIwb35
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRcYNCtL1y
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAFpSyVAIm
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3G9VJY0nu
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNZDR5zFGp
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLec6I67IYN
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dQxIj9QEP
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXiuzqOS9G
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh2ddV4W8R

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

Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1akVtbxe8
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2jbVMNEzl
Kakarot: “When we win.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvdTX5AowW

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvzvQ8Bnpz

Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv81AD9TN9a
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYn5qb3GUH

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23rEdNrxsD
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGfThNlOsa
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUA5IejpbJ
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0coscFhGc

Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ddJI9vdu
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4uY9K6jv3
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xhwmRbXbX
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oSwz89jod
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQbUPkKCA8
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa90GuqvOKU
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWKizrr22z
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94ALNeqA5z
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInXjERj48a
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX3vi2QKSY
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KWpCvKeUN

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK83wyYeoS
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9okklJMdg3
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!”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5xveiaL2G
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1OJHsHwBP
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mRv4Lanox
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u21Da0gv7
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23wRmKVucH
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeSnJtO5WK
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevo4hc7tAd
Beet: “Okay!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRkpF7l9WE
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfrHfLdV8n
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUbCd3szgh
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlepmvqXVwW
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6XNSXLTsT
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxVVa1Ggy8
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys8DgE61AK
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcAKRz3qtK
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshYuZFydni
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEsnN5Mtyw
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMcWwMWN6H
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCGgPxsYf8
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqUeieU0jW
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQF2DmS1d7
Beet: “O-Okay.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszDOIbsQJ0
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlaIL8dbbf
Kakarot: “What happened?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3roNmsjVBU
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXYgO0QNL4
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQFEVUGagX
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuxcj7UCxl
Kakarot: “Fine.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZwBKJxQL0
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9P9eebVYT
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvUMQj0yX9
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnniLAtgy4T
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bNImP21M9
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtoJwfAQHq
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3BG1Eu2CI
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrODw8pooI1
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPEEdriNiB
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJNQTaSSTj
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54VDiTdMUC
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncb3cVhj4e
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeeiv4k7Ig
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns7vtqji69
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt68jdTuq3c
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82BbCiTwjJ
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVYMlKA4pH
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDomsZbH5hk
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddhnAeRYbe
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiFEVozV3n
Raditz: “Understood.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NXsqikjQg
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI0j5g6qfa
Raditz departed from the room.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzJxhSca5d
“Haaaa”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrLLGH4WwE
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiSAIGtsjx
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavAHqlnA6a
Kakarot: “Right.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePEWuume48
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyynNttFsX
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZETTRkBl88
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo74CoTHs0
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54X3AS2xoK
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu28CqbTSz
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL2Z6Y1EZ2
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYC71qowt0
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnP80mflGy
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lWACf6AAR
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TflpnQL61
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfBZrhG9qR
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLmEsYQRti
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXrA4yGg48
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmQGZjdK99
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2tjFV6K9j
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpICtG4LEmF
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS41trFW4uj
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LMDAAaAPI
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHOK1LkYt3
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1zIspw8of
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxzcWAaw8C
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIS1Fqfbhh
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsIpbQAf3s
Kakarot turned around.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoMq2tbLPR
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQH7BpoFvO
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLujyxnZoqv
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgY2uPBFtC
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiz6OFT64d
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbaAX1CL4K
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7r8aGAxz7
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2coCOIdb0
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtUKWbnMFV
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfcBzBJYDu
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxawPVkPzU
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYmqalrIEi
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNWWqepfyq
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqytEkHzlM
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrHnyi0gTn
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwj7iTy9eI
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLQmijg6AJ
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMmVRSVPpX
Kakarot: “Right!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiW8n4I1d9
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRRqzv1JWp
Kakarot: “Yes?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhohYfrdZJ
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAItUdkMeAf
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7P3AX4cya
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7blaGhgrJy
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkPbXjnVBp
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMLULVnlJa
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzaDy46Kic
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV82VmXD6Y
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6xmPhGt8P
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9WiwN7JFO
Raditz turned to his brother.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgt2GyEnOn
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJQfB8xWRM
Raditz: “Right..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHf5TmrRCl
Raditz took off with his pod.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ620JsyYH4t
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoZPWrr65z
“Let me take a look.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLhyxYXi3q
Beep! Beep! Beep!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf8UQcI6HH
“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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijOxnyGd6g
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAtlzdEn7q
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgKyEoa0qY
He bowed in respect.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaSeuSUX0M
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr3yV0hyXE
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLW2Zfdjta
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeuc3GDae3
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2VKcXo6l5
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0RZ4HSsj9
Raditz: “As you wish.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbRrPM6gFz
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrq2l42zNQ
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGxVR54BCY
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BAy9EuNIy
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnV2uA9Eyg
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Gxofc86z
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKb6mzcJ8NH
Zarbon took his leave.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHmGEjmrwH
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT07Ev5HJov
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTamyWtuN5
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfJAoJqdDn
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGldiXJLmvM
Raditz chuckled.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFdydOR3u9
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmodIT8kljW
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvUcIwQ5fH
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgAJiswtN0
Beep! Beep! Beep!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Y20nhn2Q
Raditz: “He's here…”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP475dB9qv
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgvyPUKD5w
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55XiaxI78L
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtnOb2PO9i
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc6Vnw4xGg
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGUZ1LMbo3
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiqlVoesYx
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheOG40X5CD
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnicaOQG6Fv
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0VnUcZmZ7
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ08qcHoi69
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiKovX5W4V
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LxKFnmmXI
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYgHEfjfla
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc5r7U0w5D
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQbcPx3EiF
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztxFvMVK55
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctbkpqUk1M
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuENrfDkNfp
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1CniwETi0
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUzyeW1XjG
Raditz: “Damn it!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRf7DZN14m
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5Iipg4GOB
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZojyjB8H8
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SR4Injw9k
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1eR8Zct9G
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17yk1RDyrv
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk0lwRPaNb
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa0y0UAaJG
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevWtNejShN
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8aKKvUPT2
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ9ExqwcW5
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUFGuK0jwX
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVcpYusnzi
Beep! Beep! Beep!
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfu6XYa9pu7
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfIykORjSU
Dodoria: “What is it?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4xrK7U1AB
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2BdnMsFt8
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgONSZhqVF
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKr17as0ha
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvkz4AKzp7
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QVseMz9jh
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oYIwMt7Fs
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKxnpj3Wur
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIlZgmB5B0
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ8C2Qk9y1
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB4NuYZsya

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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf2Nt5sEvt
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxo8bTov7u
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONyx6Wmmlp
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfpgk7SWfg
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf3C8RzNxz
Zarbon: “Die!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBWPdQTclD
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvinAsdclSX
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhPEnZ1USd
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjMtzCZ2dG
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIHVqYUSQx
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4PkBE6G9i
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPBvk0qzE8
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyEroSMGBP
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpirihe3UO
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZhgJ3Heth
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEckPAvohti
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l8UwmzBQw
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4jsaPLnqe
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD7TXvzGfd
Vegeta: “Huh?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbSwg4vdKa
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Vm8LbFD0
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NqZY06g4R
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAaSKdBAkg
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvJA9hA1Qu
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfPJCSik0I
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrKz3x66wh
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEfOOtaPF6
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qNyPp32hs
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiSETiGzqQ
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6J8dbKyNM
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs32XZ0fme7
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCYoOKm1cq
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBQMr9O8Gi
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4GBfCfvmk
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNY69kwoS8
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNHU6HPba4
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PgvVYI9pH
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWxGqMw3hF
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1gtv4ieDA

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9yLGEVH3K
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hp40mGNlj
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqeM8mGxBE
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZHavGZGmo
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWavztcLaU
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ircHncZ0q
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWdgWuMDSn
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtIaKF30HE
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7s8WmYjKA
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K749DQF1s
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTmLKiJOlF
Frieza: “Y-You-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfalDj1qVzE
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbc665ah31

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiEep2tr3I
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB14LKcL5p
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTOzpxybFW
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0IjBv5uHS
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZeQsJ9XK7
Kakarot: “Not again!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH5niFZpeI
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZisAEpQmM
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRFLoEak0j

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrLAhXKH7V
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7vuOejeii
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA7O1KU9K7
Kakarot: “Look out!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vZWUSB1U5
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW9gDTHCwr
Raditz: “Nappa!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac0BkCSzXE
Vegeta: “Nappa!”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmlgMXTRmM
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTt8hHUt25
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFqjB6WWiU
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt9yQq6eEl
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguDbJJx53O

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMC1HMOIyz
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaui1AY87vV
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh2moZS3v2
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS55GKoAxi
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWEovhhUDr
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzv7KKgt9r
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51G8JUnv8n
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOMcPkaET5

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LZhTsTlps
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e1v6gjFKO
Frieza: “You again!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyNTMEz3YB
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GPFwFoFJW
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLwv4Xlz80
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6pIyM7OeI
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOw1cikUFL
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBt9uA2yNX
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgkbJ961Zy
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iBn7whxH9
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsjbRbV0wH
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj7O8HLb6A
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrvfqGHyJm
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHhqWfEsiU
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYUOYTXU6U
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5wnxuJDbF
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpVtBLBF29
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiOQXZLWSv
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQO2gHUKHo
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfecAqcwlcv
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNsoQk1nhO
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDulo6AfPUW
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXstkPPMLK
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTY2ODxuV3
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0zMQqY86h
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBYkkkaC2M
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB33d8KnWx1
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzc6VKEIjE

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1M7qEpXGLg
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhEoXKM3m8
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxsayBifGB
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLUJ6woh3y
“Haaaaaa!!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwAUanFCkt
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW7dEEhiLL
Raditz: “We actually did it…”

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLPaMcbLxV
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTdtz3ImbI

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg89wnlDoFd

86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfmFVREQl1
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOyiJWNNBJ
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YOTmsDw9k
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMMUdCp8Ls
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CrbHdM9vH
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ugaAs4VDn
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYP7uWQtX3

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DgnTjKOzf
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAw8hfsf1s
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8JcVCq4mC
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX24uzuh78U
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”

Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI8Un4pNDS
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCPABb9NVf

Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9COfxvlLQB
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rza5yeXq5
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1QNhL7YRp
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtopLrBuW7
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWNjwYYz7F
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6PUWLJ94M
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6OqenuKYS
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pSywDkl3Z
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZPZVScffc
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v9OHyp0w6
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCkmheLtik
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a8bUp5m5y
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEZ7vnwpxg
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAZjB6ppgB
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVh4Pw9iQW
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR7Ejcj5uc
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrfSIZLjhq
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglSrycQNuS
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzex2D4zNi
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyUlwEQkWt
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8LEEEWanJ
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtjOIDsOlP
He looked at his fist in shame.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCWueErysZ
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCAkR9dDOn
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlIifzuVjZ
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JMUeXpewR
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP9UWBTUKD
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU1G7nlMIY
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYAF4dB9ha
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAh9f2s9El
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfaHgzTYfM
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPWIcjLTil
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq9ioH80FL
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5DaH42snS
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsxqDTGeW1
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28VGoQjyKf
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzGZYRUtQo
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..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv4CWRASqG
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VBzTApRCS
Kakarot: “No…”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX84gzCUsrO
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwItS6tNB8m
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU12rpPUjYV
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHKp7i35lj
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4os3io4EW
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxriP1pzVK0
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlGlTFPWtK
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kREExlk59
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pqLg6GE8m
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuhslTiZbU
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC3ztOn6Q5
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLu9UzP5XC
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYx3MyMuqt
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83yl2U00O4
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zI2bV1rtj
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJJe6wyLUH
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCisNF4C78E
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuGbhU7fru
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT9AyQRClL
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKJb2lR5Hh
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR6l7Bt2wo
Raditz bowed down in respect.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz7vayoC2r
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6puUEwOsu
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yXIiFWIE7
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFn2WuewXp
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrPUxeDOp5
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPdjycj9gY
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXLAgcBu22
Raditz: “Right!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpxynnsBiY
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmwbf7JUqy
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP1oVppS3a
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCyiurNHrK
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUzoLARELk
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4WJlAbRRN
Tears ran down his face.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4kxqZyRH5
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?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSTLIPbing
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhERDk7Cz8W
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkikgi7b9Tm
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErMSZYc5O7
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRCuJsmVzQ
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE9DKWGFRj
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPB9ZxSGlJ
Raditz smirked.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf58w7yT4g
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8R4oDDjUc
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nWHtqoX8U
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVtUvU5IKR
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSQ535hMZo
He pounded the ground.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwPU2Hpji1
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrICV7bU0I0
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7EMnnOZ85
Kakarot: “To fight!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9r9dnlXPCt
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz0WSWbpVk
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1uBOhI7T4
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYQj3jnORe
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJagE63AfWv
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv9woUOKwr
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELjCaA34Jv
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mlgM5iBgN
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh56Smqzuhn
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!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPEAd2cXLy
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.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvEUA2ZUIE
Vegeta: “Wait!”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUWuyQWuYX
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1FJGhxO0b
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZzkgq5PsQ
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjotbtM9rXM
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKtWhHz8rI
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVjKn15Uw8
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."
