Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk9J1oHc7f
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHLqFe783C
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ470EBPtnUS
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tGTx9jKgw
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqUwIXPjg8
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHwJzAiPAF
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLUqncBVhD
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kHitBQviF
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfNu26bKYj
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7kLuCEGKX
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohDStQ8wxm
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKwJQ3dSsC
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKNDFucVNG
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJmjaDhwkl
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rwYOCibMf
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdO0Irq6MU
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39pt9yKsQM
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrsPArs6B5
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjCzogTgof
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ud7UAJuTB
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5mzmqwih7
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw65P3gbz7b
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnViYdMKx8w
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0xUEobuGM
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG4Fmn7S3T
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoNcFdlBfL
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2EuvZrKyj
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgsEkLUsrq
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh8GLPTmty
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALY0yNznU7
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEAn6JLtnh
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cc7k2UkCs
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA56m3hzFM
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuJ3xLHUq4
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEGNSMaAHd
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ0agWyK4w
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrLL0OGe1l
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP25dsPVT7e
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq1Uw5u0VK
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJdre2SzYx
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbUZS7TnfD
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtr32rUjxas
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25VnjlUSzU
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57yzkip7kK
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd0OGI0IIz
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ALTUohaf
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wDWXyWm3l
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6ClegMrtA
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tq4WJb8Jy
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs47yAOLeeb
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz3UIIyRX5
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjHmP2b9VU
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJhWKpeW5m
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzCAbgshNd
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1UTnGS2WZ
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBLLSxsjKq
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYj1GuaF4b3
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p0WyROfOv
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSuAREkz96
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAedMIaMU9u
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP64seeprs
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AdnIyDItc
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3d934pmGM
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFR0F1ipCV
Beet: “Haaa!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi956GnxdH
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo0Q5t5PF8
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR8Mg5EV5j
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYdEZ1de4J
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCQuV7Ebjk
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQTzCQU04d
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk9JKH2KDD
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-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlbwaQi0nU
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaACEPk0XSa
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGilGjqR1p
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC2i7897gS
Kakarot: “Enough”!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIDfP7meDZ
Beet: “Huh?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PImBUzjqn
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf871FjHuBR
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDpbEIYzCl
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU9kTFh2od
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b1UOwzjR4
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg0Nu57SZ8
Beet: “Right!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrxeuZZcXj
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlknqyXbDk
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8CgGo8DVY
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EjRqZXZHN
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbLWZJd1Ss
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOss27QgcR
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE1LDpva9t
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf5Ijlv1f4
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnXWWVyCkn
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7nFZu4S4p
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I3bkuZmGL
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuidDaDhZDi
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnY2e8K7rY
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC2Vn2PeAA
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhmYu8i6XR

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxAGVCoboS
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhioWLRUe8l

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbVqs2hoie
“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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LD8sW5D3P
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVeL1D6cbo
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPQXyrS3Gp
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP0kcBYPml
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.

“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8WZ8x9ynX

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiqC9ca522
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQDny3rz2m
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJF1Zbairy
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz3PihjX14
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDPogGrMOt
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWQLTPQwkn
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pD9W2CDXb
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRp0ycqebS
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGdsygncJH
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkpzSrzMC3
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwrYnkITkK
Bulma chuckled.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTPTIX4oCu
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBSk9jIRHM
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkebhFDSUj

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMJkPikloF
Beet: “Momm!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr8q7sE7Gj
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxPPrvbcTR
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN98Vgdyq5j
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZWKHnMsY
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND92bWo7Id
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJK9SPRUBb
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRVLeyzJyn
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8yx2RY5mR
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjHb9iws0M
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrGF6llTny
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxBexVQ8Tp
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10fkgtSQfD
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjhIl82PJi
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHE1BElVBx
Kakarot: “Enough!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgrOtkhJPe
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwhjBnVBnX
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntGemoUclr
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH4ka42so2
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6ujbhSp6V
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqb1J4TV64
Beet: “Sir!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdU93OLM0T
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJN0i81nst
Bulma: “Beet!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflZr9pENbx
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vfv7fh4mY
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIma7W4X7T
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oT1iL7txL
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99pSKwCmUo
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQWx76v0fl
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZbmtTo9Wb
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dUwU0kdsz
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWtAP7g1EO
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Eha4wICr
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndfwZ8ow93
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmguvAesIv
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJM5F93wRNu
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGUYufWDhy
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6pNbwYncF
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Tz2SLJibG
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfPsh2EyPy
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlLm4oV1OR
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGheto9XH1
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uLeIwfTJz
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTW5HRIBgv
Raditz: “You have my word.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cw15F5Mrh
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKeuAmjmd8
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkcIJSQeCz
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDe1AeQN9S
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72o1DAi5ZE
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgo6ZKw6DH
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqYOsPYDza
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcShS12Ut5a
Raditz chuckled.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcew7A6Ucp
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoRwcMm5sz
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt3fo5zIBi
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4roqrAirjI
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehp9mBqxyN
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmK9vpGxxl
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMg264J9Pf
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6tKchrcse
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WuQbxPxef
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcduv1sp06s
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevvjfmADyL
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltU4Afjcyw
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QnxZQIFtJ
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4SaH0vDTz
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsThAyueRv
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlod9ZHhxHl
Raditz took a deep breath.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZa8yzBAop
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8CYrEgH8S
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhXnOveuEL
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQspt6rVsE
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnoQud5qMv
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf62kgyYBb
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW0a0g9qsB
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDJ6BXq7aL
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g7NqykMnJ
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEcdrHS40s
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMuCjSlsAe
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAShlGSCH9
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaVdjqJvml
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIRO0W7Een
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V9PC7WpMk
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEcw3WgG3G
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiRx7FKxtg
Kakarot: “The prince?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPK73cIaH3
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStqo4urg8b
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohMcaL4Fy0
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8pZicIcYi
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbXmYVfWsw
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuFKK1w3x2
Kakarot: “….”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYO8NQAPS4
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl553VO78x2
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtkjePgEJG
Bulma hesitated to reply.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs9WcAUQnL
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvTAWLnCJZ
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3biTpwLfz
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmFxD1PEiO
Beet: “Sir!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG2c6bdNKM
He came face to face with his father.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChOpAx7DAj
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tdZM9EbT0
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtyjjf05Ed
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQnL0BIJMr
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubimQqKuck
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1O3WCKGQM
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOxCRu8po4
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv0Nu07z2L
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluHnIb6x71
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswHkLwetFr
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbZAUPgO1C
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jxSGGj1PI
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQsrZOjfVY
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJpQSycLW1
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.’
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtGz7dZ7TZ
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HfoRIIKL3
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5WyzxmLKk
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmhbqX3Tqc
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ364aR6X6TG
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf3NtrQjmy
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QwrWNp68N
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPzYX77wZt
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfir9Mg78w
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEV2elJ5Wr
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQDdU8DJow
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fuOEmQ9ov
The prince hesitated.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1cn1fLqiX
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NcNxpTPV6
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdSsQKCA1X
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhucrPJlgRp
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnKmhoFjkA
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53n22pFIpp
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPQt6dDYrq
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ikaks7ABT
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbEIMSd5vS
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcETd2rM2gl
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ1te47tHK
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aF9FVmVJn
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk4GPDq4Mt
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoVnO6vAlN
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVQnv2Drsn
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFuVIDcPYH
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡembJS6z4dM
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgNgKh4fgU
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN7VSzksuK
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSCuUEnnQq
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v624Pj9Od
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsXlQDM8PD
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpbPFtaezJ
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k21jIZ1sX
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UW5rx6dOA
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqmdd1jV5y
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAO4qUjz8Q
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzkNKnZyqb
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ccBFEiBxl
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXOH85l78O
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQsZkcVJCa
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSOQUadhUl
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqtWJwM0N0
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VYm5tPmtD
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqXU5H5RIm
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6GRaHRdnE
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jTr9lhjDe
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM5SjNbOT0
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ev27AyztQ
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkiNt0eWSJ
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQK8be7FPx
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP1gsV7EhZ
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicXzosON0M
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ2fgN0hIG
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4euUcKhTz6
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjOx0ERwaJ
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17zm8E8jRP
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1UVzwuk5x
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5mEUfSGsl
Kakarot: “What was that?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCv6i3BPgIL
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3SMHWgANh
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeYhL4MyxR
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIqdEjgeXU
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh8xdshPgU
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ikEZTCLtv
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSTkx2lQjS
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA4jK5SYaT
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DcAV3xKeo
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjEzNK6RKN
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO31BY3wRY
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGt8egDAzS
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cDueNFPyr
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g4jXJDnkg
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQEimbasp0
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT65WXHySV
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4NYQvWVOw
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1rpv9GJkW
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjCtbhBG28
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfVymqL8GV
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePwwBzxOOT
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi4cGksaD8
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryFyjvmEPl
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5DKwz8GdS
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”

The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMFIg7lYbD
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejzjcH3uEF
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBbvb0w50V
“Your foot is on my tail!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jsWe7lOuB
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw445Rpek7I
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8qFYTuTRL
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9R44jFCIl
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaFrWDvpeC
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIYHXtA4X8
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMG3g8efTY
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetevDvzku0
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ2iKoOwtS
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNFjWpuMTS
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ2sAESvnd
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG8zAJCedt
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x01kqrZG4
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf3RyOc5CW
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA0fCkvUhR
Kakarot smiled.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9oNQTZOM7
Kakarot: “Understood!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxANWzcJwDm
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc7JG7l8Af
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiryZKC3Mtg
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1CWPQ6Qlq
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ByzDbBJXG
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ710o9KQnty
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Aod7P5kb5
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3tHNVOQZQ
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hieDvWaTm
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bl1f4G6L8
Vegeta chuckled.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ349Tn2YNBO

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVibY08lbgx
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSSuSz0XWg
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4zGqwiqOw
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZORUgFw8a
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamxalD9V0I
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdTvf1BIWh
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWM68ONYt1
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF2AcRt2EY
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7EfMjpGRY
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemPVsjp5pm
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhcpmIMCHQ
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf5mbJoZk7
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFVQ9y3U07
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl234TIIND
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XAKGHMONL
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVUyavsREQ
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3UD8OFqsM
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKLnVZ09FO
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwj9zcqXVd
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXiqe4NOd0
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa9vPDJIKM
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vYlt2PQ9G
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ddLwa65I

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPCAPGjoBh
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVLcOFl3JH
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk35Hj0F5I
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKord4CQ8XN

Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4sFWVq8YV
Kakarot: “Huh?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlGLVIGou4
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALO172oGWY
Raditz: “Why you!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sOxMxCsw6
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6dJ3ZbD1S
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpNC0ZQRdU

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDfV2thBmB
Raditz: ‘Right!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWodt2Oxh8

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB6n36F9To
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9eWbFu39F
“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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiqAbGDZxg
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB2RYunzDY
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWXW2h61un
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYOQzKr4wj
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigxQyjrGun
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FxYla3knF
Doctor: “I will sir.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDBb96AgGF
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu8YKx9zx1
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bDbPjS0qg
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG9GQdSgNZ
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Iu4pcW8xZ

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWoSPcRLka
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1M0JjhLVw
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigv8MokrqO
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkfw4zIQvj
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX41THOvDW
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO5yPpnoLh
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj7DyX3i3i
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvK3XtVcFIe
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7sbxigkol
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RzLQgcAPu
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC1m2dufey
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKe29IrnDO
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRPDAyIPaI

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BLcqtgZTk

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP5E81Xh9x

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBz40bRiSx

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLvKntIDQ5
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdpYlDdV6m
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh4NxWgGN9
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjh2wo1rvb
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jfbDvxYu8

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslkQskUjoo
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV5gt0LAjm

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXPtXPiVm2
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHfGHjCg99

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvow9m11evo
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiQT2Phofs
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2hqboz2qE
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK0vz4Vbqu
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp98f9DJFiQ
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBce0VRB7bU
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwa7Nf3Da9B
Beet: “Okay!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPNhAACS4g
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFVuq4Gz8d
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8sUUgRSEF
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlfvvdAnYm
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfsT3IonAs
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6tl6mj563
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacjh5IjiD5
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2GFJhDMq3
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4VxoQan8B
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6veV7NBRX
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7rO8vQRNl
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhzpTUn57K
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrpXIavzyD
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYDc9rzTpQ
Beet: “O-Okay.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3iNPrO9kU
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLsXQKIOss
Kakarot: “What happened?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtn7TEXy3t
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL2Zt1vXCb
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLGcv7tBKg
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHROwx89aK
Kakarot: “Fine.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP08M1JxOH
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4AQCIDWeX
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHLBePMEtE
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EC4op08zF
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjrWJNwLc1
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknJzDgr62h
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4431cQemHp
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEtJpo1umy
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2gzSTYOpL
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOh4urK489d
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnpriIfTTR
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j6wBXcIgM
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2RuQWUant
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd2Ssp8G23
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsipUCQ3c1n
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfMkCVXxva
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8hrT7Tzml
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMGxjAM695
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXDb5ibnOr
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcjtlkaKw4
Raditz: “Understood.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzBMXpksBZ
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FoZ2KxXBK
Raditz departed from the room.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nUctpLOJj
“Haaaa”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95X3nOAlCA
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8FY12SVUG
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlIGOsz0bT
Kakarot: “Right.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDeH9bCGbO
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uzjLYZvzK
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43YCThwWFy
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRDrFGEEME
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcgQTzT5WT
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X2VkMNKz7
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYLPZZUzLu
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRm89AglQc
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiix96VI0pJ
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegVMhUzeq5
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeS9zxGrRt
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxiZhYQQl7
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfOc0tPmtg
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3mfgBeOWg
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK83Av2qyEV
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevDfJP86Al
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtawrg6G6L6
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3R1Ey8b78
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoZ6sTguVt
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZITlJY0PTW
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bocS1y6YN
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEIAG02HIb
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInZfFtehyQ
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVm1OxcT2s
Kakarot turned around.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWDHtN3dz8
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5jxQzIrPv
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15EY9icvFk
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq3e2Arovq
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gzTEmNrVT
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVnvWguUXv
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBxJh1Ral9
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfSCiQSVBk
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnSsds2JSl
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jOJYjA00D
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN6XPFisvJ
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW0FMNRN3x
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76o2L7SKmJ
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aAyjN8Csq
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRctA1FN6E
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORDyusVf6e
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT6SDJdZZT
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRWw1fGDsy
Kakarot: “Right!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbfXJTeJHz
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBakx5FgPVC
Kakarot: “Yes?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTv5t0P2H4
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiJTs0jG0b
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJP3L35DnY
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm0w0kqPfY
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7so5Od93ak
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEpSfdhfPq
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtFIAvbzGn
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkKtQQ3IP8
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dfKgfBV7a
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyzS5qHveT
Raditz turned to his brother.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5PYKrKrXf
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYikCut9DT
Raditz: “Right..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvTGZHiA8R
Raditz took off with his pod.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2eLYUCfPh
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokMl0IG8J6
“Let me take a look.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrXEA3TimZ
Beep! Beep! Beep!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP0H2jgor0
“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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQwDZAuVic
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq7zbz9Byt
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKNASACuuC
He bowed in respect.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyXQukI2yd
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPhBVFO58T
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HWyJifZxM
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpiDkYjgEU
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IfbLBd4WA
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh5d0lcf00
Raditz: “As you wish.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBSIkQ42o8
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAmZil81RA
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1CYQdSVoR
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYpnSKwUqm
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4Ke4R6vQu
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPhsZlnNpe
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMqPd9ACh7
Zarbon took his leave.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQBU2yyxxH
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO1SbYFQKd
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEys8lwCl3
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZsXMsbDPo
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr0PJDlQ05
Raditz chuckled.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Hx0j08vz
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlvK7UAv0Y
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynaxyK33iY
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSE3YgHkoK
Beep! Beep! Beep!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvc6hZsB4w
Raditz: “He's here…”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpo453aVuo
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xEOuLrvEn
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9jx1XflHC
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Ab5mEH8q
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarnrgyRkfo
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzJMEed8A1
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vb8ZwxPH1
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW4zsuTNVg
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjgRxI4ghB
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xr6r8EmtI
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HbG0140Gt
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrVyERenas
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmyw9ykTUw
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmeaZEsA5X
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AhxpRgOjM
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWonVX9Yf8
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0spszqKJmq
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzh5r8JhfYJ
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5oET9h48o
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoUFmNL8Q4
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohLBjpoNZt
Raditz: “Damn it!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9W39C2ZBJ
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshPbJnDJ2b
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCkujYpf9g
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9MTt3oB83
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrICH47XXgT
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCg3cmW50np
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr40YSJ6M28
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSgmelz64P
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqest1fIOgm
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkugoWVsXBf
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8W4OZsCrjW
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUeEPk0Eay
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QGUn2zB28
Beep! Beep! Beep!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhL6t0IYTX
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7967vfwQpU
Dodoria: “What is it?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix1hlMokRE
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94EgwhLCHC
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm1WD8wx4I
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhFBd21FCG
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzHUQ3EPjw
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNdoMH0Sr3
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EBXv9z9Fg
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY8HKIXLqg
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZPNWuQtoG
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFjFrEMkhX
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0GcLZ6GXW
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”

Dodoria: “Why you!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ8607Xa1U
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRciPHBpuAz
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbpFgkHXKY
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.

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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Nl80YzSf
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUHpKDnFxH
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9DEUdhlzr
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq6FWYZTfm
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ4p6Gtv8J
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67wWLBzl5a
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfa3L3ha5l
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtWTIoIDJ4

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPKjfRbxDb
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05R63xCuqb
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QZUQErwHI
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hisT1Q1LZ
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccwDTv5Pxq
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvrIcclRuN
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.

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8sFkMKpym
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.

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4vflEFd9X
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.”

Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcYfqomvQx
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw87dxax9Ax
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNEikrO5va

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFzqsS8ZGy
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqeZ8CYmb5
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTk6lcu4YD
Kakarot: “Not again!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1TfAhxsI2
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrAxRjL9It
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd5uqNKvqV

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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j0g2DxdVs
Kakarot: “Look out!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfccPo3f0kn
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.

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyPzl0HdSy
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9npJ7mhKka
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoONElw1fP
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIroK2qmN3K
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QSseBPjJB
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuHxtUNq9H
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqkGc8WPXl

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tATDsYt58
Frieza: “You again!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6lqBe7ykw
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSLiZeMO3a
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZbX9QA2VO
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZSdZE5qW6
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvRjk3ItN0
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ61WeMCpKD
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbNOzqlTYi
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R4bU0gJJe
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToeggJmm0e
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZqGit2lrO
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9dgoDqFKB
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwtaYMI8fy
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDt8WZltZs
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiWjNuodxh
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT7IxST19t
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhdzUhGk6U
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcje8kTUHLF
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhlcnxdXUr
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0wXzjHuir
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlFP8pJAeh
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu26nuOjqyX
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lwUFcoKeG
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSON1P6C4WG
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4wRDIyKgC
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvPWwIOqbU
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65nFKFAMtn
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvx7GDUKLF
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxyWU3B28U

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccBMmDrQAL
“Haaaaaa!!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK23d1WOam
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ157BBBwSTm

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY5vSQj8Q7
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8PtxcgK9M

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPyC6GznOV
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjt60aRp5n
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhvM4KgO7s
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WWcxmXBOr
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1YkVN4ogu

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8GCINXKpB
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlswGFuIPkW
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8BRatMJ1h
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLyui9hQMJ
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnY8HyBJzr

Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtSOFlQjLk
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1AAjHRrpo

The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zqWgbqQNB
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj2DArSqGm
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDU1MxZzpw
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviKiacqMmj
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI0e6SDQxK
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsy3nBCn03
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc8ufZ84FJ
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvzPRDqt1d
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsEJEWsOh1
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT763vCKgk
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOC0O9Uzy0
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0hOHT5d5n
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVuPYQDWdh
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7ggKW3YmS
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTx0HLj5ro
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozINs9so1Q
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0GQFF07La
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMQwDaikAW
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzezMmGRvK
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”

39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41WbH81bwI
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzU7NoxrTO
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83gOMWWIwZ
He looked at his fist in shame.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48fvhUnVue
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.”

A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvm4tttOaG
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoYZE3eyR7
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOYJqpxt8d
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TEXM5yvOD
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDekyI1WyIN
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz24XKlcKS
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Thl7xITHj
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4wlmGaXJG
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PJA1sa7Yf
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wn3FP3Kry
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ugHRV7tw0
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4UcWmG9jD
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..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyip42dy6h
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBxiyd25mi
Kakarot: “No…”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnIeaYdNRE
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScTXy1xvLn
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vg2V8cnLU
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn4USGAYbV
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqjpi5Nwz5
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMg2wTgFuxM
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv1VlYSagX
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGPGOh79Td
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdIZV7CSy1
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qvoVZNcxy
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmYFLFn5Fm
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiAT9okFNl
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvypY7wcTtE
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX7yVaoN6C
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafAojzADy1
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmGlLodgQA
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRURnP5icrn
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNa6C2gczA
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbZw9RrtPY
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDlFsrbwsf
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRifSgvmgLY
Raditz bowed down in respect.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSi262UxLD
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNyTMfcgD2
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASGVR58lRZ
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoypRtl7KJ
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NEcIMV73g
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMAh24BbSE
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvdHihkhr0
Raditz: “Right!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM4VGY2ewh
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M3RYYds0D
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmQehvGHqb
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoRZ3RdG81
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcjzUIGYRg
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIHd2CX3UJ
Tears ran down his face.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PX0zmhYg1
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?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMICaxJJNHv
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZyII8xcQ0
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdtukBHPLb
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZSCZ4SU8L
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUiCvVpk6I
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK0sTUQx1g
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIPd5cPFir
Raditz smirked.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6vVEyOWF2
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgTkYVKnO3
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSGJ5obge3
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhvDv3TitK
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZYfhXVpst
He pounded the ground.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo9DP6jSWY
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1hFs0jt3E
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xiAapS58M
Kakarot: “To fight!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NOP94Lh0H
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokCXSuezNB
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtsDeFCdQI
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc36nWEZm3
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfvWLWR0Mi
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPpC7j6Mi2
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf0pNg8Dml
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfaIyV7wb6
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gnzfse9G5
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!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPqZSS4zog
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.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUerIKvS9q
Vegeta: “Wait!”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4UmN1VBby
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgF9FjveaN
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKxoizeHq3
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSH0C4n591
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m534QB7VP
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UMZ0fW1Xn
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."
