Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxuf0ZSt1X
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuzjVRMGxn
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU1dXLOIn0
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LDAXH2AHu
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRg6NjiyrU
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qiJzMfCTN
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkBVCqnmzr
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTk9AbRbRE
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7Rd6ESp3J
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3upDeLPNv0
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVBGjLSXLE
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zVxcoZuZT
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDZOmtzET9
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxSgRuzSml
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUblNaM5yX
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnowH5drTUg
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7CehhVeTI
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoosCbmWiq
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVVwlIJNXh
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj1kmbXUvq
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMfYdk6AKD
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCND0wQ8R03
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJOtBOKRPZ
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfHcY2br4s
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aDYMnT24H
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxGrQ6RCdj
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb52H1nqWdQ
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpGsdO96ty
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6CJwH1ha9
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1aWP8n4WK
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P9rVsum2p
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiShyFBusl
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrqCSzkfGH
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMJkyivM2x
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8LJnCIDMk
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7XQQpZ3WG
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMbWqm1hFv
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4tpqUO4FO
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPm6mqoK2Q
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyGcJuuGzL
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKdhQqfiTm
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy6WDMHOLj
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJSO2IZK0Z
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tf0GGCHw2
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUuCd4J7RJ
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJgWcOuKtQ
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05oVICeLF5
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JYaa79P4P
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrlbxhcqXH
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcahU593K1
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrG49JqRww
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40r70y4EEr
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LXFJs4DnM
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUgZm0guyp
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8iesprltW
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpyR0dNikw
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGmy9oRhPE
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl7260fwuh
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YTZAyZHU4
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9R4hl2O4f
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pNChEHQu4
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPtgs45UyK
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2I1TuBFyq
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftzF718E0D
Beet: “Haaa!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BLfqvrymD
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdrx9341rO
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sT0VAImim
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD1sS5tj2C
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftXs5YoXa4
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNplANntIl9
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2oVVoagc5
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-”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzoi7qq2xa
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA4hMvPP3Z
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjplpmoBjB
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUonlFC73Hx
Kakarot: “Enough”!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWevuTjJhho
Beet: “Huh?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbYfUuTdfL
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0VlwRV1B2
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHT6eGKo9O
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVvuC4QsaW
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5dj8uY3Xa
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIHCfFekaC
Beet: “Right!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJN5td9XbM
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlanigdb0K
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50GxHo6e7U
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvYzj83ZQy
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0Qw5uDzun
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mnqF0EZtX
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8FJRtxzjA
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFTIll1LoP
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOXquhvggH
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK17oerXvd6
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwMm8C4O5E
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUO9JdtyInc
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7wSwSVrKS
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1viVrQk97
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeB976mwKt

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggeDG7ZDz7
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzojLXQr9R

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B9Q6CxoPM
“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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVm322w65Y
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP4Cp8bhbt
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAgoFSIjqL
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJd91xqGRB
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Smc8xMnB
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElpVoWoIaL
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwztiLwOwoZ
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oBHws0Cgq
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BtoYw7jl9
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLrWKtaoOS
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZQbnSwCVn
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4AwdaPwzh
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrariHx2gT
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWNfEl8QzV
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKo7bLYOSC
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuZIeddJng
Bulma chuckled.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFQGNukKDL
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwxS2Ed8OL
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5velPhm34
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2WsmmEdvh
Beet: “Momm!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nUahcXda1
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eD74KOpib
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYAsUs8q5D
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXfYSv7JbC
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tkxO8Qz7n
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEFHjfcG92
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFEFYMhdFo
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfzUskRIqt
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckdl8YXiZK
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIOe9KeQo0
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDoyO7aa3M
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K8tv3B447
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFohDjJKLiS
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4r4JOgdoG
Kakarot: “Enough!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CzACz4eF9
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrJhIs6lMd
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnB83ijdJ9
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38jRr7gdTb
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUn29CfqUg
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFN4uelmEH
Beet: “Sir!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSaBDNZcqv
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A1Lztu7T8
Bulma: “Beet!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3VakD7MVH
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBDw1NsEkd
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgutDDX6ct
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbG4XvLg7Ag
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3AdzdlGN5
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxqUMJzmu2
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPZBcMqFqN
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EJBjEHVL2
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJg6W73vkj
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?”

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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyHtQElPoX
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYChSTkH7o
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtBhFmnylJ
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSQKYQVtej
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbV2OmsjK4
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfEZPvBv7J
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqXLWsSPDC
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWK6LrbgAp
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdGe8UGsUk
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqfzt0qS6j
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzSOIdJ35Z
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKF73n8uHQ
Raditz: “You have my word.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSKtFKnKZR
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynwGumpWGl
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0RW5aPYUP
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsMZIWy0ir
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr4GyXHcq2
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jR1iUt3Ej
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6HT3LbsVR
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvfBpM6Zr3
Raditz chuckled.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8NhJz6lt6
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigGMYIkURJ
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTZCdIFnbS
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQafprr99Lk
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTsSER7DYX
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUoJUrMIYG
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTOmkUWaW9
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52xjzzlUc5
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyxaYj0wXz
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ9cVlhzwb
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCkP8sZEjX
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVHCRskqL7
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ56BVeKuNN
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Pt4fqCTy
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFmoK98Zpt
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvDwJuNKPU
Raditz took a deep breath.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E7q75hBtP
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8D1cvwTCYY
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBgckXzclT
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zxUw4FRcR
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4RLaQuQ8t
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SeqqOvI93
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE3eqGQlhC
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR93RUDD7s
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkACMEr1rb4
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZS61u1QaD
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj0wjfDRZj
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCtGVQiCcm
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIityC0xhzu
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3Y4UMuLWw
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPAmYk0Npa
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL1JEI8Wpu
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLjsMCNKNF
Kakarot: “The prince?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkuyaf3v6X
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTLT7R9kcS
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf84nR6G799
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqciJ4XwRPy
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgrD9TLayU
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI72IDVdyU
Kakarot: “….”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMGIDnqBSK
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFjADlAU1T
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Q8NleLCmU
Bulma hesitated to reply.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE04UtAKRvb
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfA0kH2NZE
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpW6rki8tm
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdzNwQ7aTW
Beet: “Sir!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLjEMr6WBJ
He came face to face with his father.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6D0x8Wx8H
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj2aDZ3IN6
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgdPt0Tb55
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNwkqRyRiQ
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBUr45zcvp
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bwqQrwz90
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSobhobHqf0
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAOf8EyDZn
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuuHDmThLe
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkiSYa8ms5
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5tzB8mS3R
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zu1zVjnzE
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw61hJzlgp
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54FjCM4cxK
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.’
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURcq49KD24
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfcJzLfd9k
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzEuJSZjO0
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODL8SZBzcm
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9wveIv3jx
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CLGaEhZU9
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCZdvJ2Xnv
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekvbnwquC0
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmUymRrsVq
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfNzHHHUBz
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQXus7xxIk
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIaB2LePb8
The prince hesitated.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K7ryisnbK
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJd1657swT
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncYnqnZ4bo
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5mGwO1RMe
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6as6QhCBxJ
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEepIVYuXX
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Onf3Y1iV
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmFEfY7QJx
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbuZcDOoQp
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK0H99tS7Z
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzlAopvYV4
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NXBtLghBa
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc8YGnLcBI
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTf5D30rnT
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7abviZgAvs
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mSRmoBHnh
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsOXTkCLEd
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDgSCwtIgR
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlnAAjqOGh
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ100vstHiNY
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwc2zPOui5
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0c9ryqByA
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCdopRM9D8
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiqcQBnV9W
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Sl3Eja9L
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyieddg3oVK
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oREVHFMey
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVJWXbBvFD
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbcNr7FE70
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlpJ4v5T2Y
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O34YNOjt4
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUwwKZV6Y4
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI9cPnGeED
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6hQqXp83
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78uTZdvPye
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW1vCXcOwD
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK3fLskHAw
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisrewq0Ujz
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3iHVrXc7A
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0iXq74hXJ
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3th4owZLon
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom73ENoVdB
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpAu644EtZ
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jRnqwcpHJ
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVTqhLypz9
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64zAcSfuHc
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7LlhkMD8B
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zlDgwSqY5
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJWMcZMyrU
Kakarot: “What was that?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgSR08q0oG
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYrQ2Djzmx
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVo5Y7r92Ev
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfBnRyHCsT
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUU1C6hvpR
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JnuMMQFQu
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNmyrq1SIR
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUXgdN0CWy
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsYHIn7LHu
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aC0nQZkrW
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7boQd7aWVY
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyS89lnw2g
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vXJYf9fS4
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0IsPXTBRC
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoihLTWMYOU
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfO4P84MCK
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwHIqkByuW
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9uTytbRPE
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGoje09fIe
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cnx7OEp6B
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41AZe6XbDc
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9avUxFgnsq
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.

Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZcUouCum1
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELDihHmjIn
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR03WOpF4m
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85GRiUq30x
“Your foot is on my tail!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVrym0NpgF
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt08Zs15EMO
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKXzOP9aEy
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwqgPzHPxd
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL1RfwCijH
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIZARGTxjl
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaJmTn7oop
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkZpyf0VxU
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHy1kNFHBg
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaq63h9YHu
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuajSa1UtLe
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPcgngtQfQ
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewQq2sEqgb
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVToTxTd3ii
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbObSL7zv8c
Kakarot smiled.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiXNbfVW9g
Kakarot: “Understood!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck899I6WUI
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDqdA9CWh1
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoB1IjcVj4
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYyRqlwCDK
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlYfoshH4x
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe28wz4Ym4H
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vaaO8VSXt
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9eNiLcdet
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtLAQlOdq8
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lL5RBALo6

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLoUg8QBrJ
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSTCCz7PVp
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjFsqmjX6T
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV8piQsL4V
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGSYDidbuY
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsZkJ9Lvx5
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Gm1IA4sbN
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBmulpx3NW
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOEK9OKd5h
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp5AQFQTJT
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAOT0PXeUS
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdytq93066
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcM3nkTAGq
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiME9IeQKgs
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ciVCHyJKB
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnyNFQ1G5i
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaeFBOcOD5
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQLXX174A4
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVcWhWD2M5
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYAwNI5tQI
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFseo608bK
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrqs2oCJ3Z

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9F0UjVyhV
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrrsPTxjuw
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrmoTije4C

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6FPsOjhuD
Kakarot: “Huh?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKGJc5QeZ8
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4lWyx0sKx
Raditz: “Why you!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgNIXGEY3q
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeLVtIucMq
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59QhtA6tPO

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqqGPnazHz

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98pKjCjUjy
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0edgD3C2P
“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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Iiklutxs
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj90tBWmDIX
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nOA15LEcJ
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BOxTMqKVc
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVvpfqVCVL
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZvJKmz4Aa
Doctor: “I will sir.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLxnWs6S6F
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkd7ZrWelF
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWG7bkUTLx
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFEPvltUxh

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCM3X0Y11b

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9kn1EdoPQ
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlCN7gMRSB
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhgJdlKFhC
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY0lRRtTQz
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrKr4JoXAT
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvbaZRXVdw
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLMF51yA0L
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5kPjY3phK
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HFSCcYXPh
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hnv1k6Z58
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWjSi5T57y
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvA6fBsBtq
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACSbOVcwT9

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw5WuTY0kH

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsyQF8MiXS

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2hNhBnnAH

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrRCA3BYnd
Kakarot turned away to face the door.

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEpSzvtf7o
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ7NNUqWfx
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI00YYgs5Q
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNn0fDcTiN
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSMUycwq1r
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVBuWI3rNj
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlekkr9XLo2
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.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFwxVyzW3T
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclc2Cy1PKY
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcPOaFuJ3Q
Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30VQGoMh7T
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLICSBjav8v
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0ToMRiXs3
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp822MybkMe
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpi53SBIxN
Raditz: “I will..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHO65Joc4e
Raditz turned to his comrades.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz56SKZAEO
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliLjGjkwRD
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQEEhl1xpb
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgrHiB4oZS
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OIUjibbsT
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXltvTKOwm
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ljSCy3YDZ
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w3afushZo
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOCX6oEsAR
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VvfsEqYA5
Beet: “Okay!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJloCWNT6f
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVj06psxJy
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsaF2GtiJV
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi6Zx3sv5c
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39XqnkcPwD
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7tZTbYQ8y
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRugqVo52Nj
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCPVJrIb4r
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHkAAixR7W
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLeWL2JmXY
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OuRWfHN1f
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ynpxf4yPG
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvbzfDITIc
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XpZMtnBtY
Beet: “O-Okay.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCCz8xVEQf
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqhwZxIuIH
Kakarot: “What happened?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h6UWUhf5T
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zP8XAionz
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HCT8lVXrt
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVkRYImCAd
Kakarot: “Fine.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q1qD9Hobn
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCL18EYd5v
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzNVmqljre
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjKhXpQ9I5
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2RpDMt5Kr
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTApTXX1T7
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkYEprEb6D
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qOfcLFafg
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoIJScbYE7
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLpQ2mP6dN
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuG7NMAFVp
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfZsPK4sND
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVUJt8MzYC
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVVfoliDVx
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpuGlO0COU
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb7hEuYcYI
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU8MM1FK9L
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9zVGr1fXI
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx09R6rvc07
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNWELUTmTa
Raditz: “Understood.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oY3rid708
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYPt1sl6cg
Raditz departed from the room.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXH4MyLGxs
“Haaaa”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ24mRAoRy2
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf38itcTa73
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdufh8yWtfU
Kakarot: “Right.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAan6EkZ88Z
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVjyWTi71K
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRNrOiwSWG
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7jGmLL64g
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzSwHd2yS4
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpBZqiEVEe
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbdcvMAkau
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUqoDWcGI0
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb13oJ9CQDo
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZfia2pXRB
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOOwvFxppv
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBwO6HJBib
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTjqWHmJJY
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqSevGNh3n
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx4NomXX7K
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCGNt67qml
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MVmUTm704
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiyLC4Zs5x
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL1fYy3K2D
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBRnGNFn1q
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlIdCW12tq
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpKshVa4xU
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NARm3gkfw
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVuWE114h7
Kakarot turned around.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡON9eoUhlgf
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgrPFCCEb5
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOo5h7Pxdz
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEjYtkXNmP
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjt06k8qvd
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSof34EbEZi
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV2TsWolcO
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjfL2Wj9a5
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjR1aZScm7
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RYmImzyL4
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjUCt6hRHa
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMBukCaReP
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWCHSaJuV1
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVEVakXrh3
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWdKHvZtC7
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ557L6YVrEi
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NDpueZ5B8
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WCnEw2wnh
Kakarot: “Right!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW0iPK0tcL
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KQW0i5UYr
Kakarot: “Yes?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUgS4KxO80
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHf2ZC6rt2
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSTZ198DYs
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfySG9q3m0
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuE2XOk9yko
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5XQoGUjRB
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJBFXBbqFv
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9CL48GSqK
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTf0OG5T6h
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWaLxvxW3c
Raditz turned to his brother.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rZmmylh4g
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mVoQCrPJ0
Raditz: “Right..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaoY11VtLE
Raditz took off with his pod.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtafMJr3II
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmjBBOMUb3
“Let me take a look.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8voSNkT8af
Beep! Beep! Beep!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡermEg4eNTS
“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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx81hIhHMc
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQq0qvbBrL
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2QJnaXDFJ
He bowed in respect.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dYEl56oob
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEmDkIZ1K0
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKBTYcJcwC
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNS4Bqohax
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegli39DQJs
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHCwy2zdbR
Raditz: “As you wish.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTZi7AcEFt
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUs08AOcwM
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IuJZebXTG
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vhblbE8Qo
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZbuOsTlu6
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kvoADzqCA
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5bbq8Idaz
Zarbon took his leave.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRTxuDiyQQ
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG0NCPL260
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMSIHyt5RM
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmjxM5Srqx
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtJDlNTo87
Raditz chuckled.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX2QfELm3O
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPkX05ezIX
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYalmW1FzYu
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcZ0OxOQ95
Beep! Beep! Beep!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRmfqwjJc1
Raditz: “He's here…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN4o6Qa3Z6
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjMIVhYL0D
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGvZUT9XlD
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo7iee7uv9
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnhzkBExlF
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFK4fe4F3I
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwbh5jkLSU
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNOyX4SCUE
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrhvSTsYlG
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbLmWO1UEv
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlcBVHXBOD
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLnfrdlPpu
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I7wxFv3Ox
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkDCvwC6Cw
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH84UYUDAZ
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVLBOhbrKy
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ymRxc8Lvg
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqVBJV2vrX
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef7b5beOYA
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgTBEyLxyF
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtmggFyJ1z
Raditz: “Damn it!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYcRvI5hzs
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgrazEnSIN
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvVkwUNpVQ
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGMvQCJ94H
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsvDcIvHVQ
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DAJTeozXL
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDE5e6jyeq
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7nDbaAWNb
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdXd7gF3Os
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnB6ako5uO
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBYG6gaEOu
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq2GnIOcf1
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNxIaBVMw1
Beep! Beep! Beep!
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxu5a3Hdxt
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6ukcVTFGT
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHIGMIlm6K
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEboJcIZnye
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFx0QYxCD5
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzCnElQv9e
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc5GphsoQz
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEoqla1Q3V
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtXkAvlaJK
Dodoria: “Why you!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7vbCS3WtP
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIlqbk8exE
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfU5kcnMRmm
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYI1za4TF1
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX38kFojlbC
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpVASiE39h
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnnyzsTayk
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfcLRlXWdZ
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkm4XMtxUF
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsrh5G0SQr
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaGEpSmoSP
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxTIuVp3lK
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hR9LGu1CS
Vegeta: “Huh?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK86ceKJkze

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV22mCJcEL
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeksFXznIVP
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM489lj8r9
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlN5aZH351
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIiWR3ihAK
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxDiMouxeP
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJaHdvLT25
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhfBNCb8gE
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPFAxKVVLy

Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGx9CwhBZN
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3ZcU2aZTR
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTGSJfIPsO
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtQt8gNoHZ
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrgUpP60RH
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iAt1hMBFo

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRSWgz4ULG
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzJEFKKMHE
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyWLk5ZJ5i
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKRYUc1Thu
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V2ST4GIPX

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfbxLh7r6L
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bBa1m92Xr
Frieza: “Y-You-”

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXXWrNWhbq
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsh5dJusmT
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm18l5eo1Aa
Kakarot: “Not again!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalPrwUBOPL
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewisey2fG4
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8w4u0wLgm

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXcsEJLjLi
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn6YtFZvrn
Kakarot: “Look out!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8x9cd0Q3Bs
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCVSxDkUIa

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu0mOUhTU6
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8XZT7HQFe
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMvczSlJ0D
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGc1Rl35av
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrhxvy3zOk
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlBFLFF5Ox
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SsPcTUbn7
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB9k86VV2i
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmVRd9yPXL
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJjELySWIx

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CENKijVGD
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvwWlxSfLm
Frieza: “You again!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2ULo6jd24
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGxeEOmA4z
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64B3UQ43uz
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhmIePzJoM
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBaL7rIzFF
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvK0LvmB9h
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEOWPETDg6
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I7DhYLXTa
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ325noqeHUR
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWWG5XbmpA
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTC3wnF65m
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6OIzYsCzq
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zO9qhpCET
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfIRG6yVvM
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj4YFOjDqG
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00O3Ex7ggR
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi9DD7N5dK
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO46Lj74Pp
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeRTmSuuQh
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB68uqeJQoh
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkJlvcIvmU
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5MezAMrrP
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZrkv86WZb
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFIef4byY4
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm94Ne0ebF
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7chOMTFzi
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNl3C2DaVf
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXxeHnsjUU

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj4wIqRj9O
“Haaaaaa!!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWUm0ppYKr
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.

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO0FyRkXWU
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJviSR6CWe2
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNSC5SIMpm
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZEKtDSb1f

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYfg4miQ1M
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiy2dbKeQN

162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvqxjMTszW
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiutHLGQDQu
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm20uyELBP
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdQfhECzNg

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMHUABnVGR
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpdFpsyFQr
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHWwWmdudS
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftnPWggXpV
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRbydcH4Oo
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYU4J2c157
Kakarot: “It's done…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GcjhGVLj8
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQuUxtXjBn
Vegeta ascended into the air.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHn3jM1OKT
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7G16GMUjs
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSNyPBNOXC
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfOc57WuJ5
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKfvthxBDG
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F41JQCNkj
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABXa8O0HCP
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQLUUAXPRh
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh5OgDbX93
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHML9IB68ZA
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGgzaantfb
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp29L8nYzCJ
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifQvYw6U8E
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCCaWbK9Pe
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SSUR4s2LN
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBaPIJeYUQ
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13YHmeLYMI
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbB3sjoEJB
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fG8HK8BTb
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtLfvgAlvU
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO58t3Yie9y
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2IQOH0oW5
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrvM83t1OI
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0mvlGGQ3W
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG2hkGy1uS
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF3HIAKLvT
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8i5cbXtbx
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh9WjrBpmD
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJAUByVaOh
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDDiunsbu7
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx4mUU11E5
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5lIZNgMDS
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RzOlPLs8x
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnrFUaHwFG
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eofT6bRz3
He looked at his fist in shame.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqHGz6SjcB
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqdyQxuLOA
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolxWLtfxFw
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWTwdSfBAB
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xECnYaDhu
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHco4KDTDhY
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuMzxgV3XJ
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKQYauqfOk
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeacsjMe85a
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBMwkycI0H
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hWHReOvZX
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YDa0cgEgh
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV3fOZwBsY
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpYnBqW5r6
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIZW3vkQY7
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..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKPJKH2WtK
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKqXaxm6de
Kakarot: “No…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxJymgAPja
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2bXWFT4Aa
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKo3CW5Dsq
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJAKfaamGZ
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRaO6qkgCd
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTGHreK3bc
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYm2FptB8j
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBacGiKzOOm
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIswLsvemkC
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWHN2raova
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Q3kOHsK4G
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1c5V8t6pd
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rABwcSnbm
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg1ear7DQS
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNy5nwpGE9J
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNJQGW3Pty
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hq16TwSob
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IXhKM9xny
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWezZylovXl
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMwfEN3o5V
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJJNA4E7LE
Raditz bowed down in respect.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVNoRwHHkQ
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHWcPvbRBt
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsjCkrqCoD
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UQPQoYHLC
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KrYtVTbet
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XYR132Jx2
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSBjvVIOIg
Raditz: “Right!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqzomdXauJ
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmfm3FqpGn
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiLAsnAYxN
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbXKBFkoFX
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdipM52G32q
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGta6LOr3x2
Tears ran down his face.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIFILjEtmu
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?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lMWs5INrd
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuEMbogOhg
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYgdJ7aOgb
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmQGNwM8JY
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMGcMqwJbw
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHuYrFb7jF
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUUxzziENt
Raditz smirked.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWp2IQSCyw
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOOcwEoKxV
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B47egMXIf
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9Gqrnab5s
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcMLrvNptA
He pounded the ground.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tcxozzuI4
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRZmt6NJpm
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSVAN2juRt
Kakarot: “To fight!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTLQEZUqTK
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukr4svem1f
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rhznW968k
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGTgvh0Z6T
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotiBtuVWMw
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObKCrSDMoj
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLR1Kdfcdi
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCEkel9bxw
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmTveJnPYo
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!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeuMszpoAg
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.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2LZPEQKyu
Vegeta: “Wait!”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMawaUH9i0
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.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2NsJFFgmf
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4pVPXNvXo
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VnFS38v4X
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud2KMzUbqD
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
162Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItZOYjygKo
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."
