Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvm3I50We5
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKy5lU09Jw
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQlpeCYOVP
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxV0VNqBIt
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12NncamvoD
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Yw8whTA3
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI2NEB8ss6
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit9cpwfRsv
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDsyXJPRqZ
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3odkamfOi
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YnKEQMp6O
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxcOAjuogF
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgqJZbBqLx
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4uFkc4uPo
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiJeI41MVm
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpvWZ6m9gy
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr12UTflun
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN66cvU0wuX
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEddMvXZTZA
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jousj3LEJ
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mRV3RjvrH
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeaszQ4FSM
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo46uq0EqxI
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpGqeYEOeI
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMhGlbMJWV
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10Gwyib6pi
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M2PtydDhu
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOgHfKnz1x
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0LBB5Nubt
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBR2BMKScl
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tuz6qkBvR
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNcpQnuqJ0
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sdJv28X4u
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOdqM2G3OE
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgK8y7SuOQ
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7icNG8czXH
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVRtA0gQRh
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMugQ7yTWg6
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3kY0EZ4TR
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFruCic6G8I
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs41mhd4KhR
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToAv50JZ7k
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dIdBgHkX0
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucB5MP6uJk
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJmFFrbiad
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqs03Zx6CR
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UZixD98oV
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8hBZoWni5
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3JWbJDJ85
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdO8XEHzco
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pN16Aq6oX
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHLIinKSUy
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAryVoscSA9
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXn6HlYbLl
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsdZGb79ei
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA3Ws1f7dL
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkV4W9S0M6
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wLvFEGIzk
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnc6STZAAq
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzMdBxpjbE
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7rAvznKQB
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0YZI1mtZi
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXzNyznZG5
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4KjRta7Yn
Beet: “Haaa!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjadEz5R4KX
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2JU5ms3u2
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvafFcsVj1I
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgomd41Omg3
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitkiPoFvdz
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnQ3HxoYyk
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssV0GDZyCf
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-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt89wTd8ce5
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBv9UkJRr6
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYFBOFez7M
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvZOjAJEi9
Kakarot: “Enough”!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWh2y538KO
Beet: “Huh?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL3rIYVf66
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o0Agvcrir
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3PXTllhI0
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoVedUo8px
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFfXandzH5
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucLjD2ifEI
Beet: “Right!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKaTaX6HER
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJkJLZvAah
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSc28CMENh
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFSImZdUOM
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mCQ8KopGB
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqUPZqczcH
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2EfG56K7b
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpdoe6lPXb
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yee85XvK2
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNg7zJScLa
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsrvcsMud1
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMBRztgQkU
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqDcs5BefB
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PFN373Q46
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG6i9B6hPi

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvKohxXfS3
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMauEcfOOp
“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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm833QCOyII
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNzY6e6iPD
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuymw6ajiR8
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHYhCD8a7u

“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g5bjXzK5t

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQs093NOM3
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4n0tbS5ca
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtrfGZuFjW
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S1WcmuhhT
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqmETJkVfd
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jgUqiha5p
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLtIuTtEeh
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TgRzUIdUZ
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkkrCKUkjE
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWxJvr4UA9
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu5hfnd2GA
Bulma chuckled.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOn0T3CQnw
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmq0zI1Jfn
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv9Un3tI3D

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUMO9HxQNs

Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNnOwaxjfS
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nOuvani5J
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1qXEdrOdX
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbUEhO1CRl
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9slYESHpS
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRWKGmVHqt
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIOzVV12vq
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2QVbnbH7p
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BRNZnUiBX
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9LSEnxssv
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeaWMFIbI8
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwYIyBwsWI
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ9gRlVKDf
Kakarot: “Enough!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fGwlC54e6
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYeLiT24ci
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlxAgS8lbl
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISQu8rukKA
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXFJwFiruW
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoC55qVAAr6
Beet: “Sir!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5CUxLr4u2
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8uVXWsNxI
Bulma: “Beet!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoTBjjrw3B
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJBP6Hm8Ox
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoDD8fKWTQ
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6OiqE50jA
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft4HsUkCnj
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbIwfmaI3R
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBkCRIYMPL
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLYNVqs4x2
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKLlFx360W
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8evGUxvtWl
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDOvyWrC1C
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0QkD1iAX0
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhVlG0B0QW
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrISVZa3Zg1
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblsO2ctftG
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpz4xI87Ki
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypoZOz786Q
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAIXPvUf8L
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl0PBp9jma
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk5W1oBh8g
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBRQI9tL7g
Raditz: “You have my word.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqmkhpeUMH
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShqG3E6FZK
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiArGr9YiXw
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFbYYrr8MI
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDFcgs3RHR
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOojVOnohH3
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pwdgXDyHw
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FwqGmW5Nx
Raditz chuckled.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r8ltX2i5C
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K47ignpCy
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSTTYv3up1
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7kdIBK7Cc
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eYeX4GQW7
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC09fCAo088
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72f6dicEzE
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7TJgHkDKj
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzCr05JQSq
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5r6WOtkC1
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h2xKDMIc5
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ51ofT9KBS
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcrfkTpezW
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyMzypdFJw
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOOPB9zOrn
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ360xyaWb
Raditz took a deep breath.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL6KZLYb5Y
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvV5ydckNz
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYWuNWfmId
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5M0CxDY8B
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SS9cg4ohJ
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYueZBYpuM
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeUgUkQ3gh
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE3El747II
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzgT55AXuV
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4y8TcdiKT
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG29Z5UTeE
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gsr4tnBGc
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteeXzsg1Fr
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDguU3xy6b
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Tpcyz7Vb
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahtkaYLFdT
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVda8BEn3n
Kakarot: “The prince?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggeD6YyPIT
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPczbAzyPm
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylvuk07Vun
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliD0RtV5Ti
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh2WGOnlni
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgnBzHnnBr
Kakarot: “….”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4sUeSmCpk
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA2aMg3hJL
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwSpJdWAJo
Bulma hesitated to reply.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSywGbHytTX
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUVJ9B9rW1
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUshWuWs8r1
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupa6Nj9i0B
Beet: “Sir!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUewyPVI4z3
He came face to face with his father.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vm1nlppZa
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuAaP1thNi
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHqlMhP3js
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGp8PGy792
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO98hJdus2g
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDu5CMYe5H
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ1dmay5F9
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VkpFH8uev
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKknxXZkt0H
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI888ty8Nr
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ1SZUCDPM
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgBCmowhx9
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWCxxPguxk
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkvdhCrMGb
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.’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUJE3TTj4o
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvgzUoGmCE
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPdOsUuBGS
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Sz5ntX4S
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHbBVm6rIa
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqumcSGCsQ8
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGOn7D0S4N
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiVWI6NheA
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ujlsvMO73
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxpJ81PPSP
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tZgeC0uBa
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFxKUMZOnu
The prince hesitated.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVu9uHcUlT
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5nZkNz2YU
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmVuWL6IQL
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9bwtHDDJj
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGtmQ2xN0Y
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTFEcsrVRZ
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRi1BBhj9i
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡComU9rvTep
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuX3AN70dN
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdptqshc1q
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4eE7dMhhU
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhhAvQoTJg
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjxyzk0XaH
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7TR8fy7pR
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprxrZwDJ0R
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimEyrOXe2L
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs5b6aSOAj
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZZZMGWhX2
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJIqKnXczQ
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMVMz7eU7z
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcZhKq3IoJ
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kkBr0R1qZ
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTuzbawTIc
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHaHT6oIBS
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q2t8oP8kA
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUarlWZAbM
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSORoRZs9O0
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFwD7UWeRw
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU920bKNgg0
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH99ltP1IKh
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWJljte3WZ
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D1VoRWxEg
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOmD0PDw6k
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc18K5TT2VY
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudfb1FPHH4
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0CrLSV6UR
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmHoYBGdsa
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y5YpOXFUV
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYgoiUPUE0
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqXvwuZajN
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ykaQDkONJ
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9YkG4tITZ
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlOMO0OnQa
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6vFII43SO
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n9uwKDxtF
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZghOFzMPE
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN26pxPoPjB
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFxo5iufjK
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZxA25QiwH
Kakarot: “What was that?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yXvDt4jbV
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2S3IzrwFlQ
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT12P1tJIqm
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGVR999Xp9
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkGwJyvbpa
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BABYEXBpO
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3blo8w7rW
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TenKzjGVb
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbscWbzXpL
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VBo6S3xPy
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3kCSgFcFa
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wm0iJR9Ie
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB6LSg5jgE
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBizrhR7iY
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3YhhY5iDy
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHli4lyiXt
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8ZxCQAKw1
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaKmPnwQRF
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkU9PpyXsg
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7qIfK3jv9
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje0MDeniqm
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbOVa6HgFi
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDKBM1ojTH
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.

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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLqQL7dwJ8
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn3IWPm0pc
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y7UE5FOW9
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BfLmGHroL
“Your foot is on my tail!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0tmMgERnq
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxOsaY1d6W
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyARGdye0Jq
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW4yuAfeTO
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVL9u8J8R7
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRCkANiG1I
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefgVevdS1Y
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj28Sn58zl
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq7Eax7A5E
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1RFHoB4xE
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHGWZnUbOW
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hNOxeXGua
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotDuWkDdZN
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrbzUhYunQ
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGcy0wyGcy
Kakarot smiled.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKfdNZsiBT
Kakarot: “Understood!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQLZy9MbGX
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsXYu1CXsF
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx4yqRrOXe
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYckqKAOgt
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HFnFSoQij
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK3lWSXnG7
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR3IwGscxO
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzMQSnCBuy
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqdhd3A79f
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDpoI3GR5d

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAr3k6VZPo
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt57xSdk2ss
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g6Mnno4sl
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fSH7DH9e9
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO3bW3nezQ
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Evyu9k39
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfalxCt0iC
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogGwMM3LFz
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.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BdpX2bqJC
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4C7amFn5D
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Omqb1DnCQ
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt95fAE1WU
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrryKVx9qNO
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasrzGKsVWR
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ya1nlN7to
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3m2QNWYnB
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapmV4aFRzy
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmZt1GZDQn
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJomtA9M4AQ
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54hGwEbjmp
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3PA6WjJ5T
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiuaFJS9VP

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmRDIdYSnR
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkroET8Gbr
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcadtbIOiR

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfN6nqB8OG

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3zqvTLG8l
Kakarot: “Huh?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CS5ptCemq
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPfxFuso32
Raditz: “Why you!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewrZdjqhKK
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGwvyFkZ5T
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHvNlSsNP2
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUtsKMlIRk
Raditz: ‘Right!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbYEU8YVBD

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIxdPEAStj
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfwxg2oOjP
“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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbgfKoEKCW
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn9MqA0wE6
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxErFbTlezs
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzm0Q7QLwT
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCqpBLZOti
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOLJCFwykw
Doctor: “I will sir.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQl2qdcqbh
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofgXkT0p6P
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmuB6NrT02
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTijCfkRwzX
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iMSXpaK0X

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ8SKCcJxj
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqSoYnvhVx
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHClKuqUgww
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHGlIBEOI9
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0nMWmZDmE
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45px1zLVWp
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bHz0f8DgA
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHCsbLusxF
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSlwUwZKJM
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SA9mvQg09
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHqqvnQtLJ
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD66Pgqpb8k

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4q1qq28vJ5

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXXgsjhUkP

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdU4fgOcZW

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y3FI9i9fF
Kakarot turned away to face the door.

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0EVoWqtdp

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOPZSemyLe
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEYMmQ9kuI
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8cIS2O8xG
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxNpQzBmsz
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pbKjKDjv1
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9rQrd4Kmx
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9ayzthSUf

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl0qq6LCiu
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBvx1xV7W8
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxucOy0EQz
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!”

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TKHGaoSaF
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAgAv4bHTQ
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCs76JlV5C
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W06Do1CZh
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmnx6sKbJy
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnxqYIcrOe
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3MbGUX7QK
Beet: “Okay!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVE8C1HoqP
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV80qWGdXdK
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4V8qANcCQ
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOToiusoN4J
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31JbjhWDBf
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9hvv2n0Wm
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkO9IQOWwWr
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7P7sTJHYT7
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNw3bKgZUr
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9hNPHqGuC
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUnXYiMCzD
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncBC8JQXKz
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWMQhZnmrI
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZdXq9W134
Beet: “O-Okay.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp7QBfmQbQ
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0dI24gxLR
Kakarot: “What happened?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4hqEi0G1U
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ748OG6WsR8
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AH2jjLMAU
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jd0trSdss
Kakarot: “Fine.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio9RWy8Zeq
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dLt5Ywcmu
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNy0CXDIvO
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPuAOsuLbF
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVgPkQTCgE
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVeSn5YKBI
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Wx8h2VVF
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yG3EHBOjf
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwb9gCnFWs
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0dQOFS6XH
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB82ts1DLZ
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dABEg5V5G
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZth329nvr
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH04CRkcLe
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NQx7MdTBw
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJkny0Tv3F
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCBXGcx5Od
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoXcThpykV
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTagZNoEbB
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyDdHOmExi
Raditz: “Understood.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JyGegkOq4
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAv7RNLRyw
Raditz departed from the room.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvSBZDinni
“Haaaa”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF522FSB6SR
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltHYIlhpmj
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjr4AdIiUO
Kakarot: “Right.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtSZ8jnt6g
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPirXNNwnf
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OkCBDzIGM
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKaqDJOLa2
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwR8yLsCup
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeny9Zr6ArN
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6noseyNhp
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaRBmS0Tqr
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrf7rspzS6
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXmcwsAqx9
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gUuD9Mrao
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gPHonu8ve
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw4FbhcYeT
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEFUY0EKg6
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XwuZC8asx
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrhHbEcUZF
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsijwT6zFX
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFxEev8nNg
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhgTjAkKLE
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYYwmJyOwX
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga8R37xV26
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA9DZdwWdk
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjw7OaEklW
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSWqPtbQMl
Kakarot turned around.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5CuxPQmFf
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsruqE10d1r
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3wQjzgNXM
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj7JqHFUQr
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdhd6OT8Uv
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cNIXzUh7C
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW7Cx43CSU
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgrwXEzcWH
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp8DjzQclM
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2tbt96Vm4
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vswW9piBn
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXZSwMlRoA
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNlK5mi30q
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7TLAHV7ot
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXjDUT2Kfr
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPskgV44sXS
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm8Vbm8jdR
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEiuvnmJgd
Kakarot: “Right!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXDAp2id0S
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpztPzurvi
Kakarot: “Yes?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvVhcanu7z
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkvpW84PU7
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvcLQgLBx4
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpMKaKS0bA
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQJ1gAMZfd
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6quJxtk8Xm
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pKwK6TkYI
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL0sj0NlPo
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ka9CwWKsg
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGej9lNKKBs
Raditz turned to his brother.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AyAZUY5yK
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg86XknEBkA
Raditz: “Right..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OJv04LtKh
Raditz took off with his pod.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5qBWSlT0Q
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08GhVFQtY9
“Let me take a look.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHzRhip1xz
Beep! Beep! Beep!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySkJoBXdgX
“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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7HVJFKP2H
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hbio4Zf54
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2wMwV6F22
He bowed in respect.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqgeVV9NTe
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gDqYFrW5x
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ZEMC838b
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqwk3ojwke
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SOJ89h5Gs
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkMgnAxAxm
Raditz: “As you wish.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x3rqwDH0N
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6WqwgFVKO
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnlRM2zFyc
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMou3JhmRJB
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcjerVQAN8
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1JTsaxgUu
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYwASYi5bK
Zarbon took his leave.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCPl0HnwqI
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLobkEZQ8xh
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2S4MFtwX6
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLAsVfYNX2
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSZpaZu9vs
Raditz chuckled.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5ej2IQ91q
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Um32tHVC
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDVBWapHqR
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfkKQkFy1B
Beep! Beep! Beep!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0sMBPuJ0g
Raditz: “He's here…”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArd6xGanrI
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxHVwV8cn0
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3DFR03Gmn
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXrbbUfsc2
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsw2vQuggq
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIBMerPjdw
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsApMlaYmto
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTJCFpzNPz
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdZo6L4nZR
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILUrWXzui8
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡth4X0QvKMr
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIb6iomhqj
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BRNJ3Ongg
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz34KCmj0t
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMo5N1eEMBS
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhJraXWPM3
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFEXFWTG7Z
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavVk00jkSZ
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zc41LVzjc
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDUdxPBkXA
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTESTSpeift
Raditz: “Damn it!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YC2BXPzeR
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkbIAsrXMl
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7DB1l2TZw
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENCRMr1JwA
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03CjTk6HtU
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrSPC95cir
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5CaFFQ2TX
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HTBLAhu1v
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVRFhbQVgy
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsySaLisXxS
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6CMqxziUP
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvylgguSGhz
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv17SWgQ9wH
Beep! Beep! Beep!
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FuEewyx9Z
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKgcnbuFB8
Dodoria: “What is it?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBtT9mGir8
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZsU5vLGeD
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkXrpXD0FR
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MLbx7suoc
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcBRdJMzBs
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVwM8FpwEN
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSx0z7cf6t
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOttTRrhWB
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4mnVTmtPu
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpI38hqoYu
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyXSyBSk6r
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljCe4JbsbB

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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeBrGdkfZS
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaL6oNRdQG
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHo8P9sRVL
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0GfEKhkIi
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwu9UAYvut
Zarbon: “Die!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2kH1AaNPB
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk3uYhXpS0
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSnSa5Ws7S
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQUzgLk073
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH7YGeIwuk
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSElzlaX4k
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI8MAwyZwS
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXTrVVjzBn
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43QHBOrkUg
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu7Nma0XFQ
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKdyoZRFh8
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEhV8bqade
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfbkAbZFuo
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxCKZiNqCl
Vegeta: “Huh?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fxxCh42kx
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMwArNoHeY
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmPy3EfgPM
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l44EPj9cW
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7v595hgYt
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyIIX6C2V6
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5xhX6zbcK
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrGRD9W748
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFU8gLH6qe
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21a7mKAivU
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84mbdpSGlg

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbY1c0DOve

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUzpVa4erN
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipjQxjoW2q
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAdDSrM8LS
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pHIn4GiS7
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zjSg16UKk
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nnDjLh2Qv
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH3489ZffB
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKtdnkOgIg
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIEL1sgTxz
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAb7I9H37c
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMQFYRcb1Z
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPF7QbvakD
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSPoA9ubLP
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsGdH6qEXs
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LfYdxgB4D
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOyKVjx9I9
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDXFQdag9S
Frieza: “Y-You-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGMdAFIjnq

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIWUIX7m26

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRDrC1eT2v
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq5EE7NqzZ
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdfEWr7s63
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfNUXcsDep
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQQUoWlWqM
Kakarot: “Not again!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEZFQDik2w
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CRbGvcmRn
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aDwnesfbu

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY01uxYeM3O
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v88ed6aAJ
Kakarot: “Look out!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGZB3TXXAo
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTTRiHMDwp
Raditz: “Nappa!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxJpsyWRbE

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ypYCkNq2w
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjQnM8lRFK
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihSwol8JS1
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nFf2yMJLw
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe6rUU9pCU
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWi1B0VcnE

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvxG60htQy
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6W6sd6laT
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l3tb5FzYC
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQikD0JfnbL
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EtmUqOEWc
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrnCuUpqBb
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYc2Btpaln
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOV4pcMUqY

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocZbfRZSUz
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiILdWlzV4
Frieza: “You again!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSsfCqvPWr
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvZBJQmkwm
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCICkMzbEd
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWbOVtJjwc
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tNh44S9OY
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbED0qGOhq
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV90kGy74e
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AboeasklR
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakfp2tJMLM
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnGcSjoaz2
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT6xiZDmOR
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH361arIuN
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzgmjPhfQ7
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCRHMTR0Kr
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCYuoLTE7h
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoykYZ7UmG
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXK3ZOvO8l
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHj47ucniz
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHejyk9hKk
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSKH1m4y9R
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXrbIw8L6L
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwfPUJ720c
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANBPEwF3eN
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75UNHqqxT2
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOwLGLAai1
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSUgYHn5Zs
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOtDEWJVG5
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDDTLCgluk
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1rCMDlNKY
“Haaaaaa!!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOzV1dmmP2
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcgDLJ4mnw

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZv9GyIx1t
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHycBVga8JF

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPgZzOotjw

75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QPY8F2CF8
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHFXrcMsAI
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tj8C971Fv
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKBXQOqXzw
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAeuEB8CjJ
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBNZ9gzEke
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVdBw3dOZw

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIRng8Jthn
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztK81SBWWO
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mba2zsPaT
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCEnzf7j78
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl10FIrou6M
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlVhHoWgIv

Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD5WpzMPR2
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5FYcS6Q3X
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvxfjyenbq
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBEosKUA7n
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUke77bqm6
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSOEjl74M0
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V0ASeYDLO
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBs7UruDda
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfgCEgPVrf
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPyYtRwum1
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4foU5yekC
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgMJZmq5Ff
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKR5Wiadsy
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eX4aoudfK
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyNPPF9HGa
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM0qw0OQTs
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjgX2xZbbn
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D5Jl8VfX3
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaSGheA2wK
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcrK6h7E50
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdddPL3TAL
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpamDf8gUz3
He looked at his fist in shame.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNZOwZRMcl
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivBezXwQvc
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlt4peBpxS
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsW0eii5Bb2
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTZaYbX5Co
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT32hf17vv
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLFxIu0BUs
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho1B4hojaN
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TPkCBUxNb
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEhljE7CPL
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6JPkuXo9A
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDN9mPX1PZ
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRKNwWUIzq
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYIOeTq8WZ
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9Y13cBgTs
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..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6G2IigJGR
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BTKTNEScL
Kakarot: “No…”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddkTPymbig
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtwuAXY34b
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCEmHc3wU6
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAnq8VEilw
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkyWDjeVJH
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9H55W3G3J
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡham2BsVJ8K
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKvuLRBrhJ
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORYnLhziHl
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgNTb4mcrA
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVsuX1UMgh
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hJTQPo4Dc
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSw65aI6sB
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3He2EXT1V0
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ejSZRJ6cr
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOgLTuIq6e
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIhlrgdX1f
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44uq9dzOEX
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqDnV1z8tj
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jl9mE3ND3
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuok1MOaID
Raditz bowed down in respect.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAU0Ld9s4o
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47TcckbF4T
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlTEtJlphu
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHrJapEqlW
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqi5duL3lE
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeLTj3fjkC
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPp77COhfr
Raditz: “Right!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqunHwhOKq
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu1luSM0nB
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPXFPs4quc
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq6ZLKBjZ4
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwi0GeNX8O
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8D6OgIlW9
Tears ran down his face.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8BWDq234J
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?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEdB9MNi4h
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgJzh7YaQS
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkHP837LnV
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vx5r95Z0X
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfkXCJtUBm
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKYkSpl7aw
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4po8bQEyX
Raditz smirked.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qcag216W5
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsI4GsNF8R
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV1hgDDaVK
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutv6SteDko
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuwToMv25M
He pounded the ground.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXcPArJSpH
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0wMqSBsio
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTtL0v9Ae7
Kakarot: “To fight!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeirxkNobo
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uO494SFz6
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznd2JNrUoZ
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB8hncGGuA
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawUcYWwnLT
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpWJLjv1Hx
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCZCDQ5Bfz
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK6qmm31Nh
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gy5TUaEFd
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!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBDAWiGyLl
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.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWPZzIRWTU
Vegeta: “Wait!”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWIfptrp64
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.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdqnGgflgv
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRiH3a1J9W
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExUQQAzVuH
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
75Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYynkSaNMT
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.

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

Shenron: “As you wish."
