Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAWk9J1oHc7f
Bardock: “Working under you gave me the opportunity to be the warrior I craved to be, I can admit that, but I think I speak for every saiyan when I say we're tired of being under your watch. We were born to be free and fight for our pleasure! Not for your convenience! This ends now! Frieza!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAeHLqFe783C
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA470EBPtnUS
Frieza: “No, no. He went through all the trouble of fighting off my soldiers and confronting me directly. I cannot explain why but I feel like I owe him this last duel. Perhaps then this monkey will realize his pathetic place in this universe when he draws his last breaths.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA2tGTx9jKgw
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
39Please respect copyright.PENANASqUwIXPjg8
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAwHwJzAiPAF
The saiyan warrior launched a fist full of fury and pride. The mighty emperor redirected his punch with a palm strike to his arm. Bardock turned right back around and rushed Frieza with a combination of fierce and rapid punches and kicks. Frieza had no trouble evading and blocking each strike. A smirk was firmly printed on his face, showing the saiyan who was truly in control. Bardock jumped back and quickly shot a ki blast at the tyrant. Frieza stopped the blast with his bare hand. The explosion was a mere calculated distraction from the proud warrior. The smoke hid Bardock's location, giving him the chance to deliver a full power kick to Frieza's liver, followed by a punch, charged with ki, to his face. The blows sent Frieza back a few feet. His smirk was wiped from his face, shifting into an irritated frown.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFLUqncBVhD
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5kHitBQviF
The emperor made his move, striking Bardock's rib with his pinky finger at a blinding speed. The saiyan spit blood and lost his balance. Frieza swung his tail, slamming it into his face, knocking more blood out. He struck him a few more times before piercing his leg with a small beam he shot from his finger. Blood gushed out from the wounded warrior's leg. He yelled in agony and held his injured area. The sadistic emperor went for another shot at the saiyan's shoulder this time.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkfNu26bKYj
Frieza: “It's a shame knowing you're the last one standing from your side of this war. The prince is under my control and the remaining saiyans are nothing to worry about. The saiyan race has fallen!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAg7kLuCEGKX
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAohDStQ8wxm
Bardock: “I guess I was right to think ahead hehe. You're wrong! The saiyan race will never truly fall! You may have conquered all of our remaining warriors, but there's one more! Kakarot! Remember that name! Frieza!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQKwJQ3dSsC
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAwKNDFucVNG
Bardock accepted his fate, but he refused to die in such an insulting manner and let out one final burst of energy from his palm. Frieza raised his finger, generating a massive ball of energy that resembled a sun.
39Please respect copyright.PENANABJmjaDhwkl
Frieza: “My original intentions were to wipe out all of you monkeys with this war so I could salvage this planet for my own, but perhaps it's best that I make sure no trace of your once thriving society remains.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9rwYOCibMf
He lowered his finger, tossing the sphere at Bardock's direction. The attack completely disintegrated Bardock's final stand. With no power left to fight back, the last soldier of the saiyan resistance succumbed to his inevitable fate.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPdO0Irq6MU
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA39pt9yKsQM
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQrsPArs6B5
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZjCzogTgof
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ud7UAJuTB
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAt5mzmqwih7
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAw65P3gbz7b
Commander Red: “How dare you pretend you have a moral high ground! You and I both know you loved every moment out there! You live for this…Kakarot!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnViYdMKx8w
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0xUEobuGM
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxG4Fmn7S3T
The saiyan chopped the Commander in half with his bare hand. He crashed through the roof of the building they stood in and flew off.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmoNcFdlBfL
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAe2EuvZrKyj
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxgsEkLUsrq
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmh8GLPTmty
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAALY0yNznU7
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAMEAn6JLtnh
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8Cc7k2UkCs
Kakarot: “My ear piece was damaged during battle. The martial artists from before stepped in but I finally settled the score with them. No one will ever hurt us again.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqA56m3hzFM
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
39Please respect copyright.PENANATuJ3xLHUq4
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqEGNSMaAHd
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ0agWyK4w
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAbrLL0OGe1l
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAP25dsPVT7e
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
39Please respect copyright.PENANArq1Uw5u0VK
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPJdre2SzYx
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAWbUZS7TnfD
Kakarot: “I have no interest in leading these people, they can do whatever they want as far as I care, just as long as we're left unbothered. We should start by thinking about our future.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtr32rUjxas
For months, the war between Kakarot and the earth's alliance had dragged on, many fell victim to Kakarot's might before the combined forces of the government and even the red ribbon army had fallen, finally ending the conflict. The best martial artists on the planet had their own turmoil with the saiyan but they unfortunately faced the same fate as the rest of his opposition. Despite the terrors that took place, a period of tranquility was achieved at last. A peace that would last for a few years to come.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA25VnjlUSzU
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA57yzkip7kK
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnd0OGI0IIz
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA62ALTUohaf
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8wDWXyWm3l
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAX6ClegMrtA
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9Tq4WJb8Jy
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAs47yAOLeeb
Kakarot: “I haven't even begun to comprehend what lies beyond our planet, what goes on outside our universe was never really of my concern.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANATz3UIIyRX5
Bulma: “Well, I've studied quantum mechanics as much as I've studied engineering and there's theories suggesting the possibility of a multiverse. An infinite set of parallel worlds like our own but with minor or sometimes major differences.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAIjHmP2b9VU
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqJhWKpeW5m
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXzCAbgshNd
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAH1UTnGS2WZ
Bulma: “That explains a lot. This isn't just any vehicle though, once I get it figured out, this baby will be able to take us across dimensions! Look, I know we will never be able to undo the damage we caused, I've accepted it was for the greater good, but with this, we could go to other worlds where we exist and prevent this disaster! We can work together and create harmony so they don't have to live with our guilt!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANASBLLSxsjKq
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYj1GuaF4b3
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5p0WyROfOv
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKSuAREkz96
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAedMIaMU9u
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANASP64seeprs
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7AdnIyDItc
Bulma: “You know how that boy is, he said he was going to pick some things up from the city, but I'm almost certain he's out in the woods again.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAB3d934pmGM
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAdFR0F1ipCV
Beet: “Haaa!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANATi956GnxdH
Beet kicked at the beast that stood before him, knocking one of its teeth out. The dinosaur remained determined and swung its massive tail at the child who just barely reacted in time to evade it. The dinosaur charged at him, chomping it's jaws at Beet. The boy struggled to escape every bite.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGo0Q5t5PF8
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPR8Mg5EV5j
Beet was whacked by the creature's tail, knocking him over. The dinosaur opened its jaw revealing its terrifying teeth. Beet closed his eyes shut and covered his face, preparing for the worst. The dinosaur bit down, but to his surprise, there was nothing there.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAoYdEZ1de4J
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQCQuV7Ebjk
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsQTzCQU04d
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvk9JKH2KDD
Kakarot: “You're focused on the wrong objective. You can strike its head as many times as you want and it still has the chance to get up again. But-”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqlbwaQi0nU
Kakarot snatched the dinosaur's tail and tore it off in the blink of an eye. A big smile took over his face, overcoming his usual serious demeanor. His smile quickly faded as he saw the blood that leaked from the tail.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAaACEPk0XSa
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmGilGjqR1p
A memory of the bloodshed from the war that had taken place crossed through his mind. He took a deep breath for a moment. The dinosaur fled from the scene in fear. Beet darted after it. Kakarot snapped out of his trance.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFC2i7897gS
Kakarot: “Enough”!
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEIDfP7meDZ
Beet: “Huh?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0PImBUzjqn
Kakarot: “I already got us a boar for dinner, there's no need to kill an opponent that can't fight anymore. It's broken beyond repair, don't carry the burden of being the one who took its life.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAf871FjHuBR
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANANDpbEIYzCl
Kakarot: “Everything we do is for survival. If we need to eat then we'll kill, if we need to defend ourselves then we'll kill. But that thing had nothing left to fight with. There's no reason to finish it off.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKU9kTFh2od
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8b1UOwzjR4
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGg0Nu57SZ8
Beet: “Right!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxrxeuZZcXj
The family sat outside around a bonfire. The young Beet was tuckered out from his big day, he rested his head on his mother's lap, giving in to his fatigue. She caressed his soft hair and smiled. Kakarot kept his head low, pondering away at some troublesome thoughts. He caught a glimpse of Bulma staring and immediately looked away, hoping she wouldn't notice.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUlknqyXbDk
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAI8CgGo8DVY
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6EjRqZXZHN
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsbLWZJd1Ss
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANANOss27QgcR
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkE1LDpva9t
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGf5Ijlv1f4
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKnXWWVyCkn
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAW7nFZu4S4p
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8I3bkuZmGL
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAuidDaDhZDi
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAMnY2e8K7rY
Bulma: “Yeah, you weren't exactly a scholar per se, haha! Cramming in those study sessions must be just as new for you as it is for him.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEC2Vn2PeAA
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqhmYu8i6XR
Bulma: “I love you.”

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAoxAGVCoboS
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAhioWLRUe8l
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAWbVqs2hoie
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3LD8sW5D3P
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANADVeL1D6cbo
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnPQXyrS3Gp
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANARP0kcBYPml
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmznyKHHMMI
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAt8WZ8x9ynX
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmiqC9ca522
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZQDny3rz2m
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGJF1Zbairy
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzz3PihjX14
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAazbrUFbXtB

“It works just how the rumors said they would. With this technology, tracking frieza's movements will be a breeze.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAI8fu3EZFZd
“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzDPogGrMOt
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANALWQLTPQwkn
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0pD9W2CDXb
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAeRp0ycqebS
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUGdsygncJH
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAdkpzSrzMC3
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANALwrYnkITkK
Bulma chuckled.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUTPTIX4oCu
Bulma: “Well, as long as we get this baby done, do as you please! You know, I'm surprised you went along with this after all.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzBSk9jIRHM
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAwkebhFDSUj
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANARMJkPikloF
Beet: “Momm!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQr8q7sE7Gj
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAdxPPrvbcTR
The busy mechanic rushed to her son's needs. Kakaort returned to his work but was almost immediately interrupted by a shout coming from outside.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAN98Vgdyq5j
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANARPZWKHnMsY
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAND92bWo7Id
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXJK9SPRUBb
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAMRVLeyzJyn
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAi8yx2RY5mR
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
39Please respect copyright.PENANADjHb9iws0M
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsrGF6llTny
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFxBexVQ8Tp
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA10fkgtSQfD
Kakarot: “You're playing a risky game coming here and demanding to see me all of a sudden. I don't care what you're here for, leave my planet or I'll make you!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyjhIl82PJi
Raditz: “So, the planet does belong to you after all. That's good to hear. This will be a perfect base to rebuild the saiyan empire hehe.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXHE1BElVBx
Kakarot: “Enough!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANArgrOtkhJPe
Kakarot flung himself at the unsuspecting saiyan. Raditz noticed at the last second but still managed to evade the frustrated warrior's attacks with ease.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjwhjBnVBnX
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAntGemoUclr
Kakarot threw a fierce punch which Raditz evaded at blinding speed. His movement played tricks on the saiyan's eyes, leaving behind only an after image with the real Raditz having already got a hold of Kakarot's blind spot. He smacked him away with a mighty backhand.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZH4ka42so2
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAy6ujbhSp6V
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQqb1J4TV64
Beet: “Sir!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxdU93OLM0T
Beet rushed to his father's aid, throwing a kick at his uncle. Raditz flicked the child away with a strike from his tail. Beet crashed to the floor, hanging onto his consciousness.
39Please respect copyright.PENANApJN0i81nst
Bulma: “Beet!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAflZr9pENbx
Raditz: “The boy will be fine, don't worry about him. That look on your face, Kakarot, it's almost as though you've never tasted absolute defeat like this hehe.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vfv7fh4mY
Kakarot's breaths were heavy, his body was petrified from fear. The feeling was instantly overwhelmed by a sudden rush of adrenaline. Before he knew it, his body stood, almost on its own. He rushed his brother once more, his blows were suddenly sharper and swifter than before. Raditz found himself putting in effort to defend the assault. Raditz blocked a kick with his forearm only to have it be immediately followed up by an elbow to his face. With only seconds to react, he stopped the attack with his palm, just barely avoiding contact. His eye twitched in irritation.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsIma7W4X7T
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7oT1iL7txL
He drove his knee straight into Kakarot's stomach, ending his sudden burst instantly. Kakarot collapsed to the ground, his body refused to answer his demands, seemingly paralyzed. He gasped for air, struggling to speak. Raditz raised his hand, reaching towards the defeated man. Bulma yelled at him to stop as Kakarot flinched, accepting his fate. There was a sudden pause from Raditz. Kakarot opened his eyes again, only to see his older brother reaching out to lend a hand. Surprised, Kakarot used his remaining strength to force his hand up and got a grip of Raditz's hand. Raditz helped him to his feet before letting him go.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA99pSKwCmUo
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvQWx76v0fl
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZbmtTo9Wb
Raditz: “That's right, I'm your older brother, Kakarot. It may seem a little jarring, but you're from another planet, one that has long since ceased to be. You were presumably sent here to conquer this world, although I never understood why planet 4032-877 of all places.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9dUwU0kdsz
Kakarot: “I always knew I was different. The people of this world made that clear to me, but I never imagined I'd be from a completely different world.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAlWtAP7g1EO
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAB1Eha4wICr
Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAndfwZ8ow93
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJmguvAesIv
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKW5NFXHGeO
Raditz: “Right, I should cut to the chase. My name is Raditz, sorry for not properly introducing myself earlier. I'm not here for some late family reunion, I'm here to recruit you, little brother.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJM5F93wRNu
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAbGUYufWDhy
Raditz: “Our Race has long since been reduced to mere numbers you can count with your fingers alone. It wasn't by no natural causes however, our kind were victims of a genocide from a tyrant known as Frieza. He enslaved our people and forced us to do his bidding for decades until we finally stood up to him and waged war against him and his forces. As fate may have had it, our forces soon fell, the rebellion failed and frieza believed it to be easier to simply wipe us out for good. There were some of us however who didn't partake in the war, we were off on duty, unaware of all that went down. For years, Frieza deceived the remaining saiyans into believing a meteor had struck down our planet. We recently found out it was all a lie invented by Frieza to keep the remaining of us loyal to him. What he doesn't know is that neither of us ever took pride in serving him! But this isn't just about fighting for our freedom anymore, this is for our proud race that he dared to look down upon! Join me, brother, let us retake our honor by slaying this bastard!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAD6pNbwYncF
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1Tz2SLJibG
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnfPsh2EyPy
Kakarot: “He took everything from you, my life is here, on earth. Besides, I've fought a war all my life, I don't want to jump into another one after we just reached a peaceful era.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANADlLm4oV1OR
Raditz: “I see.. Well, then let me spend the night with you brother, just for us to connect a bit before I return to my comrades.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANApGheto9XH1
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4uLeIwfTJz
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjTW5HRIBgv
Raditz: “You have my word.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0cw15F5Mrh
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGKeuAmjmd8
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAbkcIJSQeCz
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAWDe1AeQN9S
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA72o1DAi5ZE
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXgo6ZKw6DH
Raditz: “You worry too much, child, you're a saiyan like the both of us, a bit of a runt I'll say, but a saiyan nonetheless. You'll grow to be much stronger when you're older. Doesn't that excite you?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQqYOsPYDza
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcShS12Ut5a
Raditz chuckled.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkcew7A6Ucp
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEoRwcMm5sz
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANASt3fo5zIBi
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4roqrAirjI
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAehp9mBqxyN
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACmK9vpGxxl
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzMg264J9Pf
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAS6tKchrcse
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7WuQbxPxef
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcduv1sp06s
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAevvjfmADyL
Bulma: “Honey, I think I'm gonna sleep early. Don't stay up too late, okay? I still don't really trust him, it's best we get the day over with soon.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAltU4Afjcyw
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0QnxZQIFtJ
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAp4SaH0vDTz
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAfsThAyueRv
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAlod9ZHhxHl
Raditz took a deep breath.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGZa8yzBAop
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAi8CYrEgH8S
Kakarot did not question his sibling and partook in his request. The two left the house and walked out into the night sky. Raditz levitated high into the air and Kakarot followed. Raditz came to a sudden halt. He faced the night sky, illuminated by the countless stars, miles away.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxhXnOveuEL
Raditz: “Take a look, brother, the universe is infinite. Why would you limit yourself to such a pointless, finite world like this one? Don't lie to yourself, this mundane life doesn't suit our kind. We're warriors! Born to fight!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqQspt6rVsE
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
39Please respect copyright.PENANACnoQud5qMv
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUf62kgyYBb
Kakarot: “I've never faced much of a threat on this planet, I've never truly been pushed to my limit. Earlier, when you humiliated me in our battle, I felt something. A rush, one like no other. I was going to die and yet I felt more alive than ever. What was that?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvW0a0g9qsB
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAfDJ6BXq7aL
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA2g7NqykMnJ
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAeEcdrHS40s
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYMuCjSlsAe
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFAShlGSCH9
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAlaVdjqJvml
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANASIRO0W7Een
Raditz: “Vaguely, I've heard about him before though. He was a powerful leader of an elite squad. Rumor has it, he was the one who led the rebellion against Frieza. Our father was a great man, Kakarot. Don't you want to take after his footsteps?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3V9PC7WpMk
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAlEcw3WgG3G
Raditz: “I leave tomorrow, I have an extra pod you can take so you can tag along. I can take you to meet the prince so you can join our alliance.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANATiRx7FKxtg
Kakarot: “The prince?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUPK73cIaH3
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAStqo4urg8b
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAohMcaL4Fy0
Bulma: “I don't understand! We're finally at peace and now you want to run off into another fight that isn't even your own?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAA8pZicIcYi
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAIbXmYVfWsw
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsuFKK1w3x2
Kakarot: “….”
39Please respect copyright.PENANALYO8NQAPS4
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAl553VO78x2
Kakarot: “For most of my life, I was neglected by the earthlings, I was different and there was no one to guide me through this unwavering sense of inferiority! They're like me, I want to meet them, I need to. Besides, I can't shake this feeling that this is my calling.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANALtkjePgEJG
Bulma hesitated to reply.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGs9WcAUQnL
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZvTAWLnCJZ
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAw3biTpwLfz
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxmFxD1PEiO
Beet: “Sir!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZG2c6bdNKM
He came face to face with his father.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAChOpAx7DAj
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA2tdZM9EbT0
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHtyjjf05Ed
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyQnL0BIJMr
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAubimQqKuck
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1O3WCKGQM
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjOxCRu8po4
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAfv0Nu07z2L
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAluHnIb6x71
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAswHkLwetFr
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQbZAUPgO1C
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8jxSGGj1PI
Raditz: “Well, aside from me, the other two saiyans are Nappa and the prince, Vegeta. Unlike us, they're top level elites with the prince being the absolute most powerful.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAeQsrZOjfVY
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGJpQSycLW1
Raditz: “They are, especially the prince. He's the strongest saiyan in history! They're both proud warriors, like me of course. You're on your way to becoming one of us too.’
39Please respect copyright.PENANArtGz7dZ7TZ
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5HfoRIIKL3
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAq5WyzxmLKk
In the span of a few hours, the pods arrived at their destination. The Prince and his comrade awaited their arrival, preparing to greet them once they landed. The pods crashed into the designated area, revealing the two saiyans aboard them. Kakarot fought to keep his composure, but couldn't help but smile after gazing upon the mighty warriors that stood before him. He approached them, taking a knee after reaching them.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVmhbqX3Tqc
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA364aR6X6TG
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtf3NtrQjmy
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0QwrWNp68N
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGPzYX77wZt
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHfir9Mg78w
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAgEV2elJ5Wr
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEQDdU8DJow
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4fuOEmQ9ov
The prince hesitated.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAm1cn1fLqiX
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1NcNxpTPV6
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKdSsQKCA1X
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAhucrPJlgRp
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZnKmhoFjkA
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA53n22pFIpp
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAwPQt6dDYrq
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ikaks7ABT
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
39Please respect copyright.PENANArbEIMSd5vS
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcETd2rM2gl
Kakarot examined his surroundings, quickly taking notice of the highly guarded area. The soldiers that surrounded them didn't appear to be saiyans, but they wore similar apparel. Aside from small animals and critters, no other signs of life were present. The vast land ahead of them was empty, only them and the soldiers occupied the space. They entered a large, elegant building with huge pieces of glass art, depicting an unknown civilization of people. They came to a halt in front of a throne with various seats. The prince took his rightful place on the throne as Nappa sat on a seat right beside, displaying a sense of authority. Kakarot and Raditz took a seat on a more mundane section, next to the Colonel in command of the Tuffle army.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ1te47tHK
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4aF9FVmVJn
Kakarot: “Yes, he told me about Frieza and what he did to our people. I've agreed to help you crush him on behalf of the saiyan race!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHk4GPDq4Mt
Vegeta: “You've got spirit, but it's going to take more than that to defeat this scum. You see, aside from his troublesome power, Frieza also wields a powerful army. In order to get to Frieza, we have to get rid of that pesky army first. We've made an alliance with the Tuffle race, he who sits beside you is the commander of their military in fact. Having them on our side is a big help, but we can't be too careless, we need to recruit more allies. Until we get the remaining forces, we must lay low.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvoVnO6vAlN
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiVQnv2Drsn
Vegeta: “We've been eyeing a planet known as Tatsu. We hear their kind are great for combat, and legend has it, amongst them is one they call Amaterazu. If he's as strong as they say, forcing him to submit to our leadership could be just the advantage we're looking for!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGFuVIDcPYH
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAembJS6z4dM
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANATgNgKh4fgU
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzN7VSzksuK
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXSCuUEnnQq
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0v624Pj9Od
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAsXlQDM8PD
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
39Please respect copyright.PENANARpbPFtaezJ
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7k21jIZ1sX
Vegeta: “I'm having doubts about your little brother, you sure his mind hasn't been corrupted from being away from his people for that long?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7UW5rx6dOA
Raditz: “I'll admit, he's a bit of an oddball, but you know me, Prince, I can get him on board, just trust me. Take him to planet Tatsu with us, I'll work my magic.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAaqmdd1jV5y
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAoAO4qUjz8Q
The pair made their way back to the room where the rest waited in silence. Vegeta took his place on his throne, continuing his speech.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmzkNKnZyqb
Vegeta: “Ahem, like I said, we'll be paying the Tatsu race a visit. If luck is on our side, they'll be just what we need to turn the tide on Frieza. Until further notice, we can't make too much commotion though, if Frieza finds out we're plotting against him, it's over. Now then, prepare your pods, we're leaving at noon. You're all dismissed.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4ccBFEiBxl
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzXOH85l78O
Kakarot: “Raditz, are we really going to kill all of them if they don't comply? What good would such an act even do for us?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAQsZkcVJCa
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANARSOQUadhUl
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtqtWJwM0N0
Raditz: “Listen, if we let them live, there exists the possibility of Frieza getting to them and getting information we'd rather he didn't have. We can't take that risk. It's just another sacrifice in the name of the greater good is it not? It's not their fault we chose them, but it's not our's that Frieza enslaved us after killing our kind. In order to win some, others must lose some. That is war, for someone that has lived in one all their lives, I'm sure you can understand it.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3VYm5tPmtD
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVqXU5H5RIm
Raditz: “Now quit your whining, this is going to be your official, first real fight. Aren't you excited? Don't you want to feel that thrill again?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAR6GRaHRdnE
Kakarot's mood took a sudden turn. A smirk fueled by excitement lit up on his face. He clenched his fists as if the mere thought of battle pumped up his adrenaline.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3jTr9lhjDe
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjM5SjNbOT0
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ev27AyztQ
Kakarot: “Please, brother, let me have another go, even if it's just for a few minutes! I want to fight! I want to be a great saiyan like you, and like Prince Vegeta.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAlkiNt0eWSJ
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAMQK8be7FPx
39Please respect copyright.PENANAgP1gsV7EhZ
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAicXzosON0M
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiQ2fgN0hIG
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4euUcKhTz6
Raditz: “Hehe, what can I say? Can't help being strong! Hmm… there might be a way for you to hold your own y’know?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANArjOx0ERwaJ
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA17zm8E8jRP
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAw1UVzwuk5x
Raditz raised his hands just above his shoulders. His ki surged into both of his palms, forming purple shaded ki spheres. He released them, shooting forward dual ki waves. He detonated them before they made contact with their surroundings.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAy5mEUfSGsl
Kakarot: “What was that?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACv6i3BPgIL
Raditz: “That's my special move, I call it the Double Sunday. By focusing your energy into a single point, you can let out an attack with more power than your average strike. It took me a while to master this technique, but with practice, you should be able to come up with one of your own.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAI3SMHWgANh
Kakarot: “You never cease to amaze me. Tell me, brother, if Vegeta is the prince, then where do you and Nappa fall in the hierarchy as the last of our kind?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAeYhL4MyxR
Raditz: “Nappa has always been Vegeta's loyal goon. That bootlicking bastard serves as his right hand man, unfortunately, he has the power to back it up too. I, however, am working my way up to a similar position. The prince has been considering giving me a permanent role in the royal force.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXIqdEjgeXU
Kakarot: “That sounds great. I hope it all works out for you. I, on the other hand, think Imma settle down with my family for good after all of this is over.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqh8xdshPgU
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9ikEZTCLtv
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAgSTkx2lQjS
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJA4jK5SYaT
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6DcAV3xKeo
Raditz: “You're thinking too much about it. Stick around for longer, in time you'll find that all you seek is here with us.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANANjEzNK6RKN
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtO31BY3wRY
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiGt8egDAzS
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6cDueNFPyr
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9g4jXJDnkg
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAgQEimbasp0
Vegeta: “The Colonel has set the coordinates in our pods. The Tuffles also placed some new upgrades to these sweet rides, we'll get there in no time so be ready.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFT65WXHySV
They all nodded in approval to the prince before entering their pods. The ships took off at blinding speeds. Kakarot observed the vast, outer space in astonishment. The wonders of the countless worlds beyond his own planet never ceased to amaze him. Before long, the pods crashed into planet Tatsu. The squad left their vehicles to confront their next targets, but to their surprise, the landscape was deserted. Not even the slightest sound of a small gush of wind was audible.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAa4NYQvWVOw
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAP1rpv9GJkW
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
39Please respect copyright.PENANABjCtbhBG28
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANANfVymqL8GV
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAePwwBzxOOT
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvi4cGksaD8
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAryFyjvmEPl
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAd5DKwz8GdS
Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAn2nAwbZ0fr
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUMFIg7lYbD
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAejzjcH3uEF
The eyelids of the creatures twitched. Their joints cracked and snapped out of place before restoring themselves back into their original form. They all turned to each other.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPBbvb0w50V
“Your foot is on my tail!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7jsWe7lOuB
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAw445Rpek7I
The two creatures swung at each other. Their fight created a chain of events, causing more needless fights amongst each other, before long, they were all partaking in a huge brawl.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAP8qFYTuTRL
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAT9R44jFCIl
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACaFrWDvpeC
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvIYHXtA4X8
Vegeta: “This is your chance to feel the true thrill of battle. Join us, we're about to show these fools a real rumble! Let em have it, boys!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANANMG3g8efTY
The mighty prince smashed into a group of the battling creatures, blowing them away with the sheer force of the impact. Nappa lifted his fingers, generating an explosion that took out another bunch. A free for all battle royale commenced. Kakarot hesitated, he watched his comrades partake in the fight, feeling a sense of guilt for their actions. Raditz approached his brother.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAetevDvzku0
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANASQ2iKoOwtS
Kakarot: “Could Frieza even hope to interrogate these guys? What information could he even get from people as barbaric and dumb as them? We have no reason to kill them anymore.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAwNFjWpuMTS
Raditz: “They're lowlives that serve no purpose to us or even themselves. If we don't do it, they'll just kill each other regardless. Stop listening to those stupid ideals the earthlings instilled upon you. Your mind is telling you no, but what does your heart say?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANALQ2sAESvnd
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxG8zAJCedt
Raditz: “You're neglecting your own desires for something so meaningless. Go! Be saiyan! Show your pride! Us saiyans will conquer together, let them know that! I'll catch up with you later.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5x01kqrZG4
Raditz rushed to the battlefield in hopes to get in on the fun. Kakarot observed his fellow saiyans, watching how they fought. The prince made light work of the toughest of creatures, mercilessly ending their lives with single and swift blows. A smile overtook his face with every victory. Kakarot clenched his fists, fighting his urge. The unsuspecting saiyan was caught by a sudden blow to his face. The punch sent him to the floor. He snapped into action and returned the attack, knocking his opponent into another Tatsu, stumbling them both over. They caught their balance and set their targets on Kakarot. Without hesitation, they rushed the novice saiyan simultaneously. Kakarot struggled to fend them off, taking blows left and right from both. One of the creatures punched his gut, staggering the saiyan. His arms fell loose. His blood began to pump again, faster than before. A rush of adrenaline took over his body. He used the opportunity to catch and hold the creature's arm down and countered him with a powerful headbutt. He followed it up with a ki blast that blew the creature into pieces. He dashed to the other enemy, striking the bottom of his jaw with the palm of his hand and used the opening punch a hole through his chest. He immediately set his sight on more nearby opponents as the options were seemingly endless. He jumped into a hoard of the violent species and fought every single one at once. He took multiple blows in the process but returned just as much. Guilt, regret, love, hate, anger, all sense of emotion had lost its meaning, all but one, the overwhelming sense of excitement. He took blows from different angles all at once, the damage didn't slow him down as he leapt into the air and shot a ki blast that created an explosion which blew away a chunk of the hoard. One of them jumped out from behind, preparing a devastating attack. His efforts were intercepted by Vegeta who chopped his arm off and kicked him away. Kakarot turned around, realizing the prince had just saved him from potential danger.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZf3RyOc5CW
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXA0fCkvUhR
Kakarot smiled.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAO9oNQTZOM7
Kakarot: “Understood!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxANWzcJwDm
The two leapt back into action, taking on the hoard, side by side. They fought together in a flawless sync, their fists complimented each other's style, fighting together as though they were one. The ground trembled once more, more violently than before. The Tatsu species halted their combat and began to flee.
39Please respect copyright.PENANABc7JG7l8Af
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiryZKC3Mtg
A similar looking dragon humanoid emerged from underneath. He was noticeably larger than the rest. Flames burned throughout his body. His presence alone disintegrated bystanders. Sympathy was a foreign concept to the beast as it had no trouble smashing through its own people as it approached the saiyans.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAj1CWPQ6Qlq
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1ByzDbBJXG
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA710o9KQnty
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6Aod7P5kb5
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAf3tHNVOQZQ
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4hieDvWaTm
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6Bl1f4G6L8
Vegeta chuckled.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA349Tn2YNBO
Vegeta: “Go ahead, boy, make us proud.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVibY08lbgx
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAaSSuSz0XWg
Kakarot jumped into action, pouring down a flurry of various strikes. Modora blocked each attack, delivering a powerful backhand in return. He knocked blood out of the saiyan and shattered some of his armor. Modora grabbed the staggered warrior and smashed him to the ground. His grip remained firm as he continued to slam Kakarot against their surroundings a few more times. His scorching hot skin left its marks on the saiyan.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAF4zGqwiqOw
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
39Please respect copyright.PENANApZORUgFw8a
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAamxalD9V0I
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANArdTvf1BIWh
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYWM68ONYt1
Modora tossed him into the air, he engulfed his fist in flames and slammed it into Kakarot. The powerful blow shot the saiyan through the sky and straight to the ground. He stood up, visibly injured. His breaths were heavy, but to everyone's surprise, his smile remained as strong as ever. He charged back into the battle with no doubts or regrets. He rushed the dragon beast once more, this time, sneaking in a precise jab to the beast's forehead. He continued the assault with a kick to his neck and ki blast to follow it up. Modora slid back a few feet. He was in disbelief with the sudden shift in power. Kakarot's body screamed in pain, but the mighty warrior could only hear the loud thumping of his heart, fueling the adrenaline that gave him life.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAF2AcRt2EY
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAk7EfMjpGRY
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!

Raditz: “What the hell? His power level is growing!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHS6aexajCR
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAemPVsjp5pm
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAOhcpmIMCHQ
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGf5mbJoZk7
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAOFVQ9y3U07
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVl234TIIND
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3XAKGHMONL
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxVUyavsREQ
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAD3UD8OFqsM
Modora levitated towards the sky. He raised his palm into the air, where it engulfed itself within a ball of fire only slightly larger than his hand. Kakarot remained on foot. He raised his hands, aiming them at his enemy. They gradually developed a purple glow, sparks of overflowing energy emitted around the glow. He lowered his hands and clenched his fists before raising them in the same position again, letting out two purple beams of energy that circled around one another before merging into one larger beam.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFKLnVZ09FO
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtwj9zcqXVd
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
39Please respect copyright.PENANASXiqe4NOd0
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEa9vPDJIKM
The attacks crashed together, Modora's flames were put out almost instantaneously. The mighty beast suffered heavy damage from the blast and collapsed to the ground, steaming from the heat of the blast. Kakarot's eager demeanor faded. Raditz approached his brother in both shock and concern.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1vYlt2PQ9G
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA45ddLwa65I
He took a peek at his injuries.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAaKnuOlpJzM
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxPCAPGjoBh
Kakarot: “I don't know what happened back there, but it was exhilarating! I never knew this is what it meant to be a saiyan.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiVLcOFl3JH
Kakarot raised his arms in the air, he savored his victory for winning had never felt so rewarding. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
39Please respect copyright.PENANANk35Hj0F5I
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKord4CQ8XN
Vegeta: “I think you've made us all proud today, boy.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAdJYERlQhck
Kakarot accepted his superior's compliment with a smile.
39Please respect copyright.PENANArNRLdxbAhV
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
39Please respect copyright.PENANApkLBHzVCXE
Raditz: “Kakarot! Look out!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAm4sFWVq8YV
Kakarot: “Huh?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANABlGLVIGou4
Modora ascended from the ground with no warning, landing a clean slash with his claws on Kakarot's chest. Blood gushed out as Kakarot collapsed from the off guard attack.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAALO172oGWY
Raditz: “Why you!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6sOxMxCsw6
In a mere instant, the angry warrior smited the weakened beast with a single blast, leaving nothing behind. He rushed to attend to his injured sibling. Raditz held him up.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAf6dJ3ZbD1S
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACpNC0ZQRdU
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzequHsmVeg
Kakarot: “What… What h-happened?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAeYnVFH4LTV
Vegeta: “Save your breath, boy. Get him to the ship, if we make it back in time, he'll be able to make a full recovery.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsDfV2thBmB
Raditz: ‘Right!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANArWodt2Oxh8
Raditz carefully lifted his brother and took him aboard.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAS95nSihZsb
Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxHCuYT3Kex
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAdB6n36F9To
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAl9eWbFu39F
“This doesn't make sense, he could have easily taken a full power blow from that thing head on. Why did a simple attack like that nearly do him in? Hmm..I'll have to look further into this later.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtiqAbGDZxg
The ship took off, heading straight back to planet Plant. Kakarot was immediately rushed into a room with medics as soon as the ship landed.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYB2RYunzDY
Doctor: “There's not much left to do here other than a few stitches and basic medication. Are you sure his injuries were as severe as you claimed?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANASWXW2h61un
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGYOQzKr4wj
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAigxQyjrGun
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4FxYla3knF
Doctor: “I will sir.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANABDBb96AgGF
Raditz left the room. Kakarot rested for about an hour before regaining full consciousness. He stretched out his arms. His joints felt relaxed and more flexible than ever. It was almost as though his injuries had never happened.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAeu8YKx9zx1
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8bDbPjS0qg
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANABG9GQdSgNZ
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8Iu4pcW8xZ
Kakarot: “I see. I don't feel anything though.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJWoSPcRLka
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAi1M0JjhLVw
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAigv8MokrqO
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnkfw4zIQvj
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAaX41THOvDW
Raditz: “Cool it down a little. This is going to be a long process, we can't just rush into another planet without knowing if there's anything of value.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANARO5yPpnoLh
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFj7DyX3i3i
Raditz: “I've had that idea too, Frieza would never suspect we'd be hiding out in such a low value planet. To most, your world is useless, but to us, it has all the resources we need and more! But why the sudden change of heart?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvK3XtVcFIe
Kakarot: “If I'm being honest, it's not really about the saiyan empire for me. When this is all over, I'll head back and leave this behind. But if I bring it back home with me, bring you guys home with me, the thrill won't have to end with the war against Frieza. I don't want to leave you guys, but I don't want to leave my family either.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAC7sbxigkol
Raditz: “If all goes well then you might just get what you're asking for. I still don't understand this obsession you have with your wife and boy though.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6RzLQgcAPu
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZC1m2dufey
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnKe29IrnDO
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiMbpEGMm7Y
Raditz: “Yeah, you sure do.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3lTIXVqpcC
The brothers shared a laugh together.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKOewEPN878
Beet: “Sir!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9P0maiS2hj
The boy eagerly rushed to his father and greeted him with a firm handshake. Kakarot smiled and patted his head.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAeLl9AQzzC
Bulma: “You came back sooner than I expected.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYbY2ZNur0A
Kakarot: “I couldn't stay away for too long, so after some consideration, my brother and I convinced the others to migrate to earth. That way we don't have to be apart throughout the process.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcYLxiD9ZuO
Bulma: “Wait, what? You brought them here? Are you crazy?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9CCEnobVY4
Kakarot: “They're great people, I promise! I trust them with my life.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGmUuqzvOfX
Bulma: “This isn't just about you anymore! I want to be able to trust them with mine and Beet's lives too!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsAmTkt8oBl
Bulma looked over at her son and gently patted his shoulder.
39Please respect copyright.PENANALlQ726Rlko
Bulma: “Go play outside okay? Let me and your father talk.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3rzCO0a6i9
Beet: “Yes mom!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAwxwmrIhOhO
The little boy made his way out, trying not to acknowledge the tension in the room.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAoJiXk0qdkP
Kakarot: “We'll be fine, I'll make sure of it.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5zZSGlTgQW
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGJIe4QEnVA
Kakarot: “When we win.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVRPDAyIPaI
Bulma: “And what considers us the winners? What happens when survivors of their conquests come looking for revenge?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqKeYldWCVS
Kakarot: “I’ll stop them.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAoEvkyY0SXg
Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0Pg6XRi4NF
Kakarot: “Is it so much for me to want to live amongst others of my kind?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3BLcqtgZTk
Bulma: “It is when that desire puts us all at risk!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANApP5E81Xh9x
Kakarot turned away to face the door.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJeQt1ZvmZw
Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHBz40bRiSx
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6qEAy8bQPA
Kakarot: “Beet!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANABAVvW0H5zE
Beet: “Yes, sir?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAgvHNYlYvfu
Kakaort: “Come with me, let me introduce you to the others.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAfLvKntIDQ5
The boy struggled to contain his excitement and followed his father. Kakarot picked him up and swooped into the air, flying to meet up with the other saiyans. They flew past some damaged cities with frightened citizens running around.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkdpYlDdV6m
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEh4NxWgGN9
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYjh2wo1rvb
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1jfbDvxYu8
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.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAslkQskUjoo
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAuV5gt0LAjm
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAX32JKjVJCf
Kakarot: ‘My apologies, I had some other business to attend to. As you all requested, I've brought my boy. Beet, these are the last remaining saiyans. They're like you and I, you'll learn a lot from them as I have.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANArcUr1P97Fd
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAh0P5hLrB3o
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAU7xRvRM1e4
Beet: “I'm Beet! I've heard a lot about you guys, you're all so awesome in person!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4VPTg5dPI7
Nappa: “I like this little one!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmSe2fjRPnr
Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJXPtXPiVm2
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFHfGHjCg99
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!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyxYNVKzkEs
Vegeta looked down at the cheerful boy.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAViJZW0Ay1y

39Please respect copyright.PENANAH0sQmq7nVw

39Please respect copyright.PENANA4SFUcodL9C
Vegeta walked up to Raditz, getting close to his ear.

Raditz: “I don't get it, what's so special about that kid for you to demand something so meaningless?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7rQ6g2AkBE

39Please respect copyright.PENANACwPRGuAurV

39Please respect copyright.PENANAekmAZK7KnX
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvow9m11evo
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmiQT2Phofs
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAP2hqboz2qE
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnK0vz4Vbqu
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAp98f9DJFiQ
Beet: “I will, Sir!”

39Please respect copyright.PENANAiFVuq4Gz8d
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAa8sUUgRSEF
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANANlfvvdAnYm
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAhfsT3IonAs
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAt6tl6mj563
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAacjh5IjiD5
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAC2GFJhDMq3
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAT4VxoQan8B
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
39Please respect copyright.PENANAX6veV7NBRX
Raditz’s scouter went haywire. A powerful wave of energy burst out of the young hybrid's mouth. Raditz's eyes widened before jumping out of the way at the last second. He slowly looked up, immediately noticing the damaged wall from the blast.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAP7rO8vQRNl
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANALhzpTUn57K
He gradually lifted himself up, still shaky from what he had just witnessed. Beet fell to his knees, his body could no longer take the punishment.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyrpXIavzyD
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAYDc9rzTpQ
Beet: “O-Okay.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAT3iNPrO9kU
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHLsXQKIOss
Kakarot: “What happened?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAWtn7TEXy3t
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”

Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANALLGcv7tBKg
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjHROwx89aK
Kakarot: “Fine.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACP08M1JxOH
He stared at his brother for a mere moment before taking off with his son. Raditz made his way to Vegeta's personal room inside the ship. His thoughts ate away at him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAH4AQCIDWeX
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAOHLBePMEtE
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1EC4op08zF
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFjrWJNwLc1
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAknJzDgr62h
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4431cQemHp
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzEtJpo1umy
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAy2gzSTYOpL
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAOh4urK489d
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUnpriIfTTR
Vegeta: “The spot you seek is still open for anybody who proves their worth. With that being said, I have faith in you Raditz. I know better than to trust your word, but your actions speak louder, so swear your loyalty to me and I'll continue to keep you in mind as my ears and eyes.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8j6wBXcIgM
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAh2RuQWUant
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANATd2Ssp8G23
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsipUCQ3c1n
Vegeta: “On the contrary, it means he has both the potential of an earthling and a saiyan combined, and that's not even considering it's the boy of a low class like Kakarot.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAIfMkCVXxva
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAg8hrT7Tzml
Vegeta: “You're a sharp one, yes I did. If the rest found out they could breed warriors more powerful than myself, my role as the prince would be diminished. I'd be seen as a joke. I'll have to birth a son of my own to take my place before that. For now however, we won't have to worry about that, I've discouraged any desire to spawn new warriors. Frieza is our only priority. The only lingering issue is Kakarot's boy.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANABMGxjAM695
Raditz: “You won't have to worry about him, sir, he can't use that strength at will. It will be a while before he learns to muster up that power on his own.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAbXDb5ibnOr
Vegeta: “I see, time is on our side for now, we can continue to focus on Frieza, until then, can't let the others know about the power hidden within the hybrid, I trust you'll make sure it stays that way.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzcjtlkaKw4
Raditz: “Understood.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAuzBMXpksBZ
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5FoZ2KxXBK
Raditz departed from the room.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0nUctpLOJj
“Haaaa”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA95X3nOAlCA
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8FY12SVUG
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYlIGOsz0bT
Kakarot: “Right.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACDeH9bCGbO
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0uzjLYZvzK
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA43YCThwWFy
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAlRDrFGEEME
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANADcgQTzT5WT
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3X2VkMNKz7
Time would fly as the saiyans battled their way through different civilizations, recruiting while simultaneously ending many. Their conquests would take a short pause in between.
39Please respect copyright.PENANANYLPZZUzLu
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAMRm89AglQc
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiix96VI0pJ
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAegVMhUzeq5
Bulma: “The man of the house is gone for months with no warning and he's the one who gets to be upset. You stop by less and less every time, I don't even know why you still bother to come at this point since you're probably going to leave again this same night!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANABeS9zxGrRt
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnxiZhYQQl7
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANApfOc0tPmtg
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAv3mfgBeOWg
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAK83Av2qyEV
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAevDfJP86Al
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtawrg6G6L6
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAS3R1Ey8b78
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVoZ6sTguVt
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZITlJY0PTW
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5bocS1y6YN
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtEIAG02HIb
Beet smiled and hugged his father. The sun couldn't have set sooner as Kakarot stood near the door, preparing to leave. Beet slept peacefully, unaware of his father's absence in the room.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAInZfFtehyQ
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACVm1OxcT2s
Kakarot turned around.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAbWDHtN3dz8
Bulma: “What happened to you? You're not the man I grew up with. Kakarot is a loving man that fought for peace. He was a man that protected and provided for his family, a loving husband and father. Whoever this us right now, I don't know you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAv5jxQzIrPv
Kakarot: “I was everything you needed me to be because you gave me what no one else did, I never once stopped to consider who I wanted to be.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA15EY9icvFk
Bulma: “I only wanted to make you happy and to make you feel safe like you did to me on the day we met! You saved me from the red ribbon army after they tried to kidnap me for my inventions, you remember, right?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANADq3e2Arovq
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5gzTEmNrVT
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFVnvWguUXv
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyBxJh1Ral9
Bulma: “You know what's the worst part of this all? Everytime you leave, there's this look on your face, this-this thrill! It's been making me start to think that you actually like what you do out there.. But my greatest fear, is that maybe, you always have.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsfSCiQSVBk
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAOnSsds2JSl
He turned right back around and exited the place he once called his home, flying away into the distance. Bulma took a seat on the nearest chair and broke down into tears.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9jOJYjA00D
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnN6XPFisvJ
Vegeta: “Alright boys! The time has finally arrived! We've gathered enough troops and have raised our own battle power significantly throughout the process. I can comfortably say we have a shot at destroying Frieza once and for all! Colonel!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANATW0FMNRN3x
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA76o2L7SKmJ
Vegeta: “Prepare the troops and run the plans by them again. Oh, and don't try any sort of rebellion against us this late into the party. I guarantee you we'll be the least of your problems if Frieza gets a hold of you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7aAyjN8Csq
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKRctA1FN6E
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAORDyusVf6e
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANALT6SDJdZZT
Raditz: “Getting too excited for this one might cost you. Don't take Frieza so lightly. Remember the plan little brother, we'll see each other on the other side once it's all over!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYRWw1fGDsy
Kakarot: “Right!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANABbfXJTeJHz
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANABakx5FgPVC
Kakarot: “Yes?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAMTv5t0P2H4
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAfiJTs0jG0b
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAlJP3L35DnY
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACm0w0kqPfY
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7so5Od93ak
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
39Please respect copyright.PENANASEpSfdhfPq
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKtFIAvbzGn
Vegeta: “Raditz, head to your separate pod and take your leave at once, we'll group up in the ship along with the others once the Colonel deems them ready.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANApkKtQQ3IP8
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6dfKgfBV7a
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzyzS5qHveT
Raditz turned to his brother.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAX5PYKrKrXf
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAYikCut9DT
Raditz: “Right..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAfvTGZHiA8R
Raditz took off with his pod.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAe2eLYUCfPh
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAokMl0IG8J6
“Let me take a look.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACrXEA3TimZ
Beep! Beep! Beep!
39Please respect copyright.PENANAlP0H2jgor0
“Oh, it's just one of those putrid saiyans. No need to worry, I'll go greet him myself. I just hope his hideous looks don't rub off on my beauty.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANARQwDZAuVic
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVq7zbz9Byt
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmKNASACuuC
He bowed in respect.
39Please respect copyright.PENANASyXQukI2yd
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJPhBVFO58T
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3HWyJifZxM
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqpiDkYjgEU
Raditz: “I understand, however, I must clarify that these are urgent matters for we've gathered a lot of profitable planets and slaves for him. We have tons of eager customers awaiting his approval. Please, inform the lord as soon as possible! You wouldn't want to make him upset by letting such a big opportunity slip by him.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9IfbLBd4WA
Zarbon: “Hmph. I'll inform him at once. My only conditions are that you stay by my side at all times, I cannot risk you pulling anything sneaky, I know better than to trust YOUR kind.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnh5d0lcf00
Raditz: “As you wish.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFBSIkQ42o8
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAuAmZil81RA
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAO1CYQdSVoR
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzYpnSKwUqm
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAz4Ke4R6vQu
Vegeta: “Okay, I'll run it all back at once so we're on the same page. Raditz will lure Frieza back to his base with his proposition.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAgPhsZlnNpe
Zarbon: “Take a seat over there. There's guards outside so don't even think of anything! I'll step out to let lord Frieza know about your request.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAwMqPd9ACh7
Zarbon took his leave.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAoQBU2yyxxH
Vegeta: “Once he's got sight of Frieza's ship entering the atmosphere, he'll launch an artificial moon into the sky. That will be our sign to make our move. With this distance, the scouters can't track us but we can't track them either, so Raditz needs to be the one to alert us.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiO1SbYFQKd
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqEys8lwCl3
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKZsXMsbDPo
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEr0PJDlQ05
Raditz chuckled.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA86Hx0j08vz
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHlvK7UAv0Y
Vegeta: “We'll use the artificial moon to transform into great apes and hit Frieza with everything we've got! A surprise attack to finish him for good! Frieza never leaves without at least one of his right hand men, if we take him out, we get one of them too. Less opposition for us.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAynaxyK33iY
39Please respect copyright.PENANAbSE3YgHkoK
Beep! Beep! Beep!
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEvc6hZsB4w
Raditz: “He's here…”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAfpo453aVuo
Vegeta: “Once we've wiped that ugly tyrant from this world, we'll send in the troops to help us destroy what's left. Frieza has too many loyal goons that would stand by him even after his demise. No one gets out of here alive!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7xEOuLrvEn
Raditz took his stand and shot his artificial moon into the sky, smashing through the roof in the process. The commotion alerted everyone within the site.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAO9jx1XflHC
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAD3Ab5mEH8q
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAarnrgyRkfo
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAuzJMEed8A1
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3Vb8ZwxPH1
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjW4zsuTNVg
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcjgRxI4ghB
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9xr6r8EmtI
The mighty trio shot forth their attack in union, obliterating Frieza's incoming ship, causing the remains to crash into the ground. They landed their ship and reverted to their base forms.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8HbG0140Gt
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXrVyERenas
Vegeta signaled for the others to follow his lead while the soldiers they had recruited went on to finish Frieza's army of henchmen. They approached Frieza's fallen ship. Vegeta lifted the remains.
39Please respect copyright.PENANApmyw9ykTUw
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjmeaZEsA5X
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1AhxpRgOjM
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANARWonVX9Yf8
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0spszqKJmq
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzh5r8JhfYJ
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAf5oET9h48o
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJoUFmNL8Q4
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAohLBjpoNZt
Raditz: “Damn it!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAw9W39C2ZBJ
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAshPbJnDJ2b
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtCkujYpf9g
Raditz shot a small blast at the ground, creating a wall of blinding smoke. He lunged himself forward at Dodoria, smashing him through the building.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9MTt3oB83
Frieza: “I can't say I'm not impressed, I never expected a simian like you to be able to plan such a calculated rebellion. It's a shame things have once again gone south for you saiyans.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANArICH47XXgT
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACg3cmW50np
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAr40YSJ6M28
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANArSgmelz64P
Dodoria shot a blast of energy from his mouth. Raditz caught the beam and redirected it back to the sender. Dodoria was blasted away and crashed to the ground. Zarbon approached from behind, going for a surprise kick at Raditz. The saiyan warrior caught on just before the kick connected and blocked the attack. Zarbon was left wide open which Raditz took full advantage of.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAqest1fIOgm
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkugoWVsXBf
A ball of purple energy burst from Raditz's hand, crashing into Zarbon. The impact sent him flying away. He recovered as quickly as he could and reunited with Dodoria.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8W4OZsCrjW
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEUeEPk0Eay
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA2QGUn2zB28
Beep! Beep! Beep!
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkhL6t0IYTX
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7967vfwQpU
Dodoria: “What is it?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAix1hlMokRE
Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA94EgwhLCHC
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjm1WD8wx4I
Zarbon: “Perhaps Lord Frieza made the right move in eliminating their race, their ability to grow should not be overlooked. We have no choice! We have to fight together!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAIhFBd21FCG
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjzHUQ3EPjw
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANATNdoMH0Sr3
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9EBXv9z9Fg
The pair went forward with their assault. Raining down a barrage of various blows at Raditz. The saiyan warrior fended off every blow, but the overwhelming flurry left no opening for retaliation. He jumped out of their reach but they immediately tracked him with a united ki blast. He blocked the blast, taking no damage from it. He took a surprise kick from behind his head by Zarbon and suffered an immediate follow up punch by Dodoria.
39Please respect copyright.PENANASY8HKIXLqg
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANApZPNWuQtoG
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnFjFrEMkhX
Dodoria: “Looks like all that strength still couldn't save you in the end!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAp0GcLZ6GXW
Raditz: “Keep talking you tub of lard, you'll be eating those words soon! Hehe.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3m0ooaewTB
Dodoria: “Why you!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXJ8607Xa1U
Dodoria charged forward with Zarbon following only a few feet behind. Raditz broke a chunk from the hill and crushed it into dust with his hand. He smirked and threw the left over rubble from the rock into their eyes. The impact shattered their scouters and blinded them temporarily.
39Please respect copyright.PENANARciPHBpuAz
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZbpFgkHXKY
The saiyan warrior struck Dodoria with a knee to his head. He followed up his kick with a blast that completely blew off his head, killing Jim immediately. Zarbon desperately rubbed his eyes, removing the irritation.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVrez4HBq1G
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAn4Nl80YzSf
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
39Please respect copyright.PENANABGNUmiJ5uz
Zarbon: “Die!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAKuW6wIufly
Vegeta: “Both of you, stand back. Frieza is mine to kill.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAOnqBvUVmLC
Nappa: “But Vegeta! This is Frieza we're talking about, I can't let you do this alone!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA2kfJuyflbE
Vegeta: “Don't worry about me. I'm fairly confident I can take him now.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEVxL3IJqpG
Kakarot: “We're counting on you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsLVswX6mN3
Vegeta nodded before slowly making his way towards Frieza.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1hRD2lN9ax
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAIUHpKDnFxH
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAC9DEUdhlzr
Vegeta charged his energy, the entire planet shook in fear of his power. The ground trembled and mountains split. Without further hesitation, Vegeta darted to Frieza, rushing him with various attacks. The tyrant struggled to fend off the attacks, coming to the realization that the prince's gloating was more than just talk.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkq6FWYZTfm
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ4p6Gtv8J
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA67wWLBzl5a
Frieza: “I don't need any more of your little demonstration. I'm aware now that if I commit to this fight I could come out on top perhaps, but the other monkeys would likely intervene and ruin it for me. There's no purpose in entertaining this any longer.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHfa3L3ha5l
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGtWTIoIDJ4
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.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtkvMdOOudg
Vegeta: “Huh?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAziHfnWtpN5
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA32vt7k6qeV
Nappa: “I'm not sure! He's bluffing! There's no way he has another form!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJGmlDVISQv
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyPKjfRbxDb
Zarbon crashed his arm into Raditz. He pounded the struggling warrior, knocking blood out of him with each blow. Raditz retaliated with a kick to his face. He leaped into the air and scattered a barrage of ki blasts at his monstrous opponent. Zarbon quickly recovered from the attacks and charged forward, headbutting Raditz in his face. Raditz returned the attack with a headbutt of his own. Their fighting took a short pause.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA05R63xCuqb
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6QZUQErwHI
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4hisT1Q1LZ
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAccwDTv5Pxq
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAdvrIcclRuN
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAG2MYSMWtdt
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6mJN9XeOHQ
Zarbon darted past Raditz, catching him from behind. He squeezed him tight, gradually crushing his bones.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAop9SYnDKlF
Raditz: “Gyyaaaahh!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAww1BlMkFam
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
39Please respect copyright.PENANADsU6kpKCnc
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAP8sFkMKpym
The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAI258E0GpZy
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANADX1tGFc4Qo
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAt4vflEFd9X
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjcTiYcRqqm
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyNFfMDRINV
Vegeta: “You don't understand, fool, there's nothing we can do anymore..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANARhoq5OGJMr
Kakarot: “Nonsense! We have to find a way!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAz0QrdwlLQq
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJAiF7UeSwn
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANApC9LXiRl3T
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAWoVYwW6I9o
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUcYfqomvQx
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAw87dxax9Ax
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQNEikrO5va
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjNCZjLKyyD
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPFNH5VNbpk
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAWcBj89LAFN
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.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcw4TKQmZhQ
Frieza: “Y-You-”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAeqSimRDrU2
Vegeta: “Haha! The mighty Frieza has fallen to his feet at the hands of the saiyan race!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXFZHG2QoIh
Nappa: “Poor bastard can barely even stand!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQeb4wqu0FB
Vegeta: “Give it up, Frieza!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAfcTepOCKk6
Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANArFzqsS8ZGy
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGqeZ8CYmb5
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANADTk6lcu4YD
Kakarot: “Not again!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1TfAhxsI2
Frieza lifted his hand, creating an explosion around them. The force knocked them all away, providing enough distance for him to safely transform. He went through another change, taking on his true form. All of his prior injuries healed.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPrAxRjL9It
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUd5uqNKvqV
Frieza lifted his finger, destroying the artificial moon created by Raditz.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2aDA0kTzq
Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFd6sC64bAI
Faster than any of them could track, Frieza shot a swift and small beam from his finger. Kakarot watched helplessly as the beam headed straight to Vegeta.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0j0g2DxdVs
Kakarot: “Look out!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAfccPo3f0kn
He reached his arm out, desperately trying to get a hold of the prince and move him away. His efforts were pointless as the beam approached faster than he could close the distance. The laser hit, Nappa collapsed to the ground.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAL0TTcFKQiT
Raditz: “Nappa!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAaHe08d12Ac
Vegeta: “Nappa!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4yKAopYqoD
Nappa held on to what was left of his life, using his last ounces of strength to deliver his final words.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAbc9dH39mQi
Nappa: “D-Don't let this… go in vain, Vegeta… Destroy Frieza!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiYY6qPfwE7
Vegeta: “Why would you do that?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANApJLYAUcAwH
Nappa: “I'd n-never let anyone h-harm you…. Friend..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAr79GgntlyY
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVY8kAtltHu
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!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAWKRmVPKdWD
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4rlD37zCgm
Kakarot: “On the contrary! We're more determined to kill you than ever!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHepszr6Io0
Frieza: “I don't recognize this one, but he sure has quite the loud mouth on him.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1npGY3Zip
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJyPzl0HdSy
Kakarot commenced the battle by charging headfirst at the cynical tyrant. He lunged forward with a ferocious punch. Frieza dodged the attack with minimal effort. Raditz and Vegeta soon followed along, rushing Frieza with a flurry of attacks of their own. Frieza fended off the attacks with ease, demonstrating his sheer dominance. Kakarot continued his assault. The three attacked together in union. Explosions and bloodshed filled their surroundings as the soldiers from both sides continued their brutal war. Frieza raised his hand, he blew the opposing saiyans away with a wave of force. They retaliated with a ki blast shot in union. Frieza leaped into the air, evading all three at once. Kakarot rushed at him, swinging multiple fierce blows. Frieza dodged them all, returning a kick to his ribs. He spit out blood. The blow left him stunned from the pain. Frieza elbowed his cheek, sending him crashing to the ground. Kakarot shut his eyes tightly and clenched his teeth as he groaned in pain. He felt his broken body struggle to stand, and yet, against all odds, he stood. Vegeta dove straight in with a kick. Frieza caught his leg with his tail. He smirked as he watched the powerless saiyan attempt to free himself from his grasp.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9npJ7mhKka
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAdoONElw1fP
Vegeta shot a ki blast to the tyrant's face. Frieza flicked the blast away with minimal effort. He delivered a heavy punch to Vegeta's liver. He spit blood and gasped for air. Frieza tossed him into a building and followed it up with an explosion set off by his eyes.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAIroK2qmN3K
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4QSseBPjJB
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxuHxtUNq9H
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkqkGc8WPXl
Frieza kicked his jaw, knocking him into a building.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJelh6toGpq
Frieza: “Such an anticlimactic end it seems.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAz4rZCCXlQO
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6tATDsYt58
Frieza: “You again!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAG6lqBe7ykw
Kakarot's face dripped in blood, his gaze was tense and focused on Frieza and nothing else. His fury overtook his consciousness, there was no room in his mind for words, only action. He viciously swung at Frieza, his blows ripped through the air. Frieza blocked a punch.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcSLiZeMO3a
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAuZbX9QA2VO
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZSdZE5qW6
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANANvRjk3ItN0
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJ61WeMCpKD
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAbbNOzqlTYi
He lifted his arms, large chunks of rubble went flying towards the saiyan. He smashed through them with his bare fists. Frieza used the distraction to land a mean headbutt to his face. He kneed his gut and punched his jaw. Kakarot was powerless against the tyrant’s onslaught. He took every blow head on. Frieza kicked him into a nearby hill, smashing it into pieces. He flew after the airborne saiyan, juggling him through the air with multiple blows. He delivered another punch to his face, knocking more blood out. Kakarot gradually turned his head back, pushing through Frieza's fist. He grabbed his arm and twisted it. Frieza yelped before getting punched in the mouth. Kakarot grabbed him from his face and zoomed to the nearest building, slamming Frieza's head into it. Frieza kicked him away, creating some distance.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9R4bU0gJJe
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAToeggJmm0e
Kakarot's pupils were bright gold, his power shot up as his hair grew. His might shook every nearest planet. Raditz looked up from where he laid.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcZqGit2lrO
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAa9dgoDqFKB
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACwtaYMI8fy
Kakarot breached the distance between him and Frieza, landing and uppercut to his jaw. He followed it with a hook to his cheek and a knee to his chin. Frieza blasted him away. He sent forth and endless barrage of blasts, each exploded upon colliding. Kakarot began to force his way through the blasts. Fighting through the pain. He reached Frieza who immediately backed away upon seeing him appear through the attacks.
39Please respect copyright.PENANApDt8WZltZs
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtiWjNuodxh
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
39Please respect copyright.PENANALT7IxST19t
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAuhdzUhGk6U
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcje8kTUHLF
Vegeta: “N-No. The super saiyan legend, he's supposed to be a golden warrior. This is different. It's hard to believe, but the one who stands before us is no longer Kakarot. Somehow he's managed to channel the power of the Oozaru without going through the transformation. Kakarot's been overtaken by his own strength, right now, there is no friend or foe, only combat.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFhlcnxdXUr
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAK0wXzjHuir
Vegeta: “I'm not entirely sure, but I've seen it before, a saiyan gets overtaken by their own power and leaves us with no choice but to be put down. I… I don't think we can stop Kakarot's rampage.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAlFP8pJAeh
The two clashed back and forth. Trading blows. With each blow Kakarot grew more powerful and terrifying. His body shut out the pain of his injuries, focusing all of its energy and adrenaline on the fight. He rushed Frieza with a punch to his gut, slamming him into a mountain, smashing it upon crashing. Frieza froze him in place in a sphere of energy and kicked it away like a ball. He repeatedly kicked it around before spiking it to the ground. Kakarot rose from the ground. His armor was shattered and his body was battered. He put his arms out and shouted. His power spiked as the planet trembled. He clenched his fists and opened his mouth. A ball of energy formed in his mouth. Frieza raised his finger.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAu26nuOjqyX
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1lwUFcoKeG
A massive sphere of energy released from Frieza's finger. He tossed it downwards towards Kakarot. Kakarot fired a blast from his mouth. The attacks clashed, each pushed back against the other. The force of their struggle shook planets and stars. Frieza's supernova was claiming the edge, gradually forcing its way to its target. Raditz leaped into action, launching a special attack of his own to push back against the world ending wrecking ball. Vegeta soon followed.
39Please respect copyright.PENANASON1P6C4WG
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAL4wRDIyKgC
The prince unleashed his ultimate attack to support his allies. The three gave their all against the tyrant’s most fearsome attack yet. The planet crumbled, cracks formed on the ground. Soldiers were crushed by rubble or consumed by the planet's scars. Frieza's body bulked up.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQvPWwIOqbU
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAv51xpnIW8r
Raditz: “D-Damn! We're losing the struggle!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPDvr8eap45
39Please respect copyright.PENANA2VmnkTIL9X
Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA65nFKFAMtn
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmvx7GDUKLF
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnxyWU3B28U
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAccBMmDrQAL
“Haaaaaa!!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtK23d1WOam
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA157BBBwSTm
Raditz: “We actually did it…”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAfcrwL4P4wa
Vegeta: “Raditz! Look out!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4Sos7uJbtm
Raditz: “Huh?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAz8ogO46DQr
Before he could react, Raditz was struck by a mighty backhand from Kakarot.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAITsAeUEdyK
Kakarot: “Rrrraaaahhhh!!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAT737RixM7P
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYTNnPLhG1b
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGY5vSQj8Q7
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAA8PtxcgK9M
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAztOfwOIdgx
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANANPyC6GznOV
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAu9FbUuYpL9
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjjt60aRp5n
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyhvM4KgO7s
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6WWcxmXBOr
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAf1YkVN4ogu
Kakarot gradually snapped back into his senses and put his brother down.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPf6qhZ5cxD
Kakarot: “B-Brother… I'm so sorry! I didn't mean-”
39Please respect copyright.PENANArEtpZ8506w
Raditz: “Oh shut up… I'm fine.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAW8GCINXKpB
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAlswGFuIPkW
Frieza used the last of his strength to shoot one last attack at Kakarot while his back was turned. Kakarot felt a new sensation, a 6th sense that allowed him to feel the attack heading towards him. He turned around and punched the attack away. He approached Frieza at blinding speeds. He stood in front of him for a moment, looking down at him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8BRatMJ1h
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANABLyui9hQMJ
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAWnY8HyBJzr
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1l3N47eLsB
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACHuUcejNbs
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5ylvGXokea
Kakarot: “It's done…”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtOamBtXdNJ
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANALhd6W5gCJy
Vegeta ascended into the air.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvHsDWmQHxY
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAwtSOFlQjLk
Their military began to retreat back to the ship. Frieza's men fell to their knees, some begged for their lives, others preferred to perish than betray their lord. Everyone regrouped in the ship. The ship took off into space, leaving not too far away from the atmosphere of the planet.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAY1AAjHRrpo
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAQghfxRdrjG
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAl10tiTRxWW
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAag6iL5GjrL
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4LGg1UPwmD
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAeQx4vKpl5S
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAejf631wl5G
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANApIzXOw3YBH
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjLnUDVuTKt
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8mMLbF14l1
The Colonel smirked after securing his success and retreated to another room. Vegeta on the other hand, couldn't find it in himself to crack as much as a smile. Kakarot took a seat.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9zqWgbqQNB
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAjj2DArSqGm
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAdDU1MxZzpw
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAviKiacqMmj
Vegeta glared at Kakarot. His gaze was locked in on him for the entire ride back home. The ship landed on earth. After all the action, everyone was fatigued and mentally drained. They took the rest of the day off to rest. The next day couldn't have come any sooner. Raditz reported to the “Battle Station,” as per Vegeta's request earlier.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtI0e6SDQxK
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANASsy3nBCn03
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAHc8ufZ84FJ
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFvzPRDqt1d
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzsEJEWsOh1
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyT763vCKgk
Vegeta: “With Nappa gone, his position has been left open. I'm providing you an opportunity to seal the deal for good and sit by me as a conqueror.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANATOC0O9Uzy0
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAf0hOHT5d5n
Vegeta: “I can read you like a book, Raditz, you're a notorious schemer. With Kakarot rising in the hierarchy, you've gained the perfect opportunity to seize the throne from me by his side and let your bloodline rule for centuries to come. But I'm telling you know, it's a plan doomed to fail.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcVuPYQDWdh
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAK7ggKW3YmS
Vegeta: “Even now you play your cards to end up on the winning side. Kakarot isn't a leader like me, he couldn't even bare the responsibility of ruling his own planet after having conquered it. On top of his uncontrollable power, he's unstable and ultimately unfit to rule. Your empire would fall apart and eventually all that power would mean nothing. If you want to win, you stick with me.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkTx0HLj5ro
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAozINs9so1Q
Vegeta: “I know your real problem, Raditz. This isn't about you choosing which side benefits you most, you've simply grown soft. His earthling nature has rubbed off on you, but both you and I know that this mentality is his greatest flaw. One that will cost him dearly one day, one that will cost YOU everything. You're a saiyan warrior, you know what the right choice here is.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAa0GQFF07La
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPMQwDaikAW
Vegeta: “He has a soft spot for you, the same way you talked that fool into joining us is the same way you’ll convince him to leave for good. I can't afford having him show me up, it would permanently bruise my reputation. I need you to get rid of him one way or another. This is your final task to secure your spot next to me.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYzezMmGRvK
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFfnE9VTNxg
39Please respect copyright.PENANA41WbH81bwI
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAbzU7NoxrTO
Kakarot: “I've avenged our people, I should feel great and yet I feel more conflicted than ever. Everything was great and now I'm back to square one.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA83gOMWWIwZ
He looked at his fist in shame.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA48fvhUnVue
Kakarot: “That moment, it felt so strange. Losing myself in battle is a common occurrence, but in that moment, I feared nothing, not for my life or even the life of my comrades. I almost killed my own brother. I'm lying to myself, the truth…. The truth is I loved it… but it scared me.. Bulma… Beet, they're probably still waiting for me. I haven't seen them for a while.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAVeoJ7r1E7w
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9oqDqVLe1
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYvm4tttOaG
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPoYZE3eyR7

39Please respect copyright.PENANADekyI1WyIN
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzz24XKlcKS
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8Thl7xITHj
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAf4wlmGaXJG
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1PJA1sa7Yf
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA0Wn3FP3Kry
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4ugHRV7tw0
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAp4UcWmG9jD
Raditz: “One of Frieza's goons, Frieza had many connections… I guess they didn't waste time in tracking us. They damaged my scouter too, I couldn't get a hold of you sooner..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUyip42dy6h
Kakarot rushed inside, disregarding his brother. He tossed aside the rubble that he once called his home. After some digging, he found Bulma and Beet, laying still on the ground, stained from their own blood.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnBxiyd25mi
Kakarot: “No…”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACnIeaYdNRE
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAScTXy1xvLn
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1vg2V8cnLU
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcn4USGAYbV
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiqjpi5Nwz5
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAMg2wTgFuxM
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsv1VlYSagX
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyGPGOh79Td
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
39Please respect copyright.PENANABdIZV7CSy1
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1qvoVZNcxy
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAXmYFLFn5Fm
Kakarot sensed an incoming attack but was too late to react. Raditz shot a blast through Kakarot's back from behind, piercing through his liver. Blood dripped from Kakarot's wound and mouth. He laid on the ground, struggling to move or speak.
39Please respect copyright.PENANANiAT9okFNl
Raditz: “I really wish it didn't have to come to this, brother, but the prince is right, being around you made me soft, I had to let go of you if I truly wanted to succeed.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvypY7wcTtE
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAvX7yVaoN6C
Raditz: “Back then when we destroyed the Tatsus, I learned something. Our power levels drop in moments of vulnerability, even the weakest of warriors can fatally wound the mightiest in such a scenario. To think your biggest weakness would be your heart in the end haha! Let my words sink in while you draw your last breaths.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAafAojzADy1
Raditz flew away, leaving his brother to die. Kakarot helplessly looked at his deceased family, unable to speak or move properly. The rain left him colder than his body was already getting. He groaned in pain for a while before his groans gradually died out and his eyes fell shut.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxmGlLodgQA
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANARURnP5icrn
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAoNa6C2gczA
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAWbZw9RrtPY
Vegeta: “That's what I like to hear! I'm a man of my word, from here on out, you're my right hand man.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiDlFsrbwsf
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANARifSgvmgLY
Raditz bowed down in respect.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAaSi262UxLD
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAhNyTMfcgD2
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAASGVR58lRZ
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAIoypRtl7KJ
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6NEcIMV73g
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkMAh24BbSE
Vegeta: “Well, looks like we have a mess to clean up. In his condition, he won't last very long. Assist me, Raditz, let's make sure he stays down this time!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAvdHihkhr0
Raditz: “Right!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANApM4VGY2ewh
Kakarot: “I-I don't understand! What happened t-to the saiyan pride! We were friends working towards the same goal! What about N-Nappa!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6M3RYYds0D
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANATmQehvGHqb
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAmoRZ3RdG81
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANApcjzUIGYRg
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAEIHd2CX3UJ
Tears ran down his face.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA4PX0zmhYg1
Kakarot: “I gave up everything to be a part of you all! B-But you're just like everyone else.. power, control, that's all that really matters to you huh? Saiyan pride is nothing but a load of bullshit! It was never about Frieza or the saiyans was it?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAMICaxJJNHv
Vegeta: “Of course not! The strong survive and the weak die. Those not willing to do anything to remain at the top and nothing less, are mere weaklings simply waiting to die!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAYZyII8xcQ0
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANANdtukBHPLb
He shot a blast at his fellow saiyans. They evaded his attack and rushed to attack him. Vegeta and Raditz attacked from left and right, overwhelming Kakarot with various combinations. He fended off the attacks but had no room to counter. Raditz kicked his injured liver, staggering Kakarot. Vegeta used the opening to land a straight right to his face. The saiyans kicked him away in union. Kakarot crashed through a wall from the building. They immediately continued their assault, following him outside, raining ki blasts on him like the rain that poured from the clouds. Kakarot struggled to free himself from the pressure, taking the blasts head on. He got a sudden burst of power and used it to hit Vegeta with an energy blast that knocked him away.
39Please respect copyright.PENANANZSCZ4SU8L
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFUiCvVpk6I
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
39Please respect copyright.PENANACK0sTUQx1g
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzIPd5cPFir
Raditz smirked.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAy6vVEyOWF2
Raditz: “I w-wont lie to you.. I really did care about yo-u.. Br-other. B-But that love made me weak. The w-weak don't survive.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAMgTkYVKnO3
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFSGJ5obge3
Vegeta came in with a kick that knocked Kakarot off of Raditz. Kakarot got on his knees and rested his hands on the floor. Tears ran down his face. He laughed hysterically while simultaneously sobbing in a disturbing fashion.
39Please respect copyright.PENANArhvDv3TitK
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANACZYfhXVpst
He pounded the ground.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzo9DP6jSWY
Kakarot: “I should thank you, brother, you've opened my eyes! Both of you have! I spent too much time caring about meaningless, worthless things. I'm Kakarot, the greatest warrior that ever was and ever will be! I was only born for one thing and one thing only!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAd1hFs0jt3E
His hair grew in length and his pupils turned golden. His eyes developed a red, deep outline. He stood up, his demeanor was more relaxed from before and he had no trouble standing.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9xiAapS58M
Kakarot: “To fight!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9NOP94Lh0H
He dashed at them, striking them both at the same time. He grabbed Vegeta from his face and slammed him into the ground. He then turned around and elbowed Raditz in his eye, followed by a knee to his nose. Raditz held his nose in pain as it leaked blood. Kakarot punched a hole through Raditz's gut. He spit blood, holding onto his brother's arm.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAokCXSuezNB
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUtsDeFCdQI
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFc36nWEZm3
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAhfvWLWR0Mi
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJPpC7j6Mi2
The prince launched a fierce attack. Kakarot deflected it with his bare hands. He rushed to Vegeta, ramming into him with a headbutt. He kicked him away and shot a blast to follow up. Vegeta came crashing down, struggling to stand. Kakarot dropped his knee into his spine.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAf0pNg8Dml
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAkfaIyV7wb6
Kakarot grabbed him from his hair and slammed his face on the ground repeatedly. The pain in his wounds diminished as his strength grew. He got off the prince and turned him around to face him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8gnzfse9G5
Vegeta: “You don't… want to do this, Kakarot.. I didn't want to tell you… but we've discovered these magical orbs known as the dragon balls… I have one in my possession.. The plan was to use them to make me immortal, but we can restore your family instead, you won't be able to do this without me!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAoPqZSS4zog
Kakarot: “You still think this is about my family? Or even your betrayal? I've spent my entire life, devoting myself to other people. I spent my childhood wanting to be accepted and a portion of my early adulthood fighting a war to live a peaceful life with a woman. I dedicated the rest to a family and eventually to you guys. I thought this was all for me, but it was always for everyone but ME. But now, this isn't about the saiyans, this isn't about my family, or even about your betrayal, this is about me! There's nothing left to distract me from my real destiny and I've never felt more satisfied! So go to hell, Vegeta.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANALUerIKvS9q
Vegeta: “Wait!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANAm4UmN1VBby
Kakarot finished Vegeta with a blast, leaving his corpse to rot. He looked up at the sky, showering in the rain. He smiled brighter than he ever had. The universe's greatest warrior had been born.
39Please respect copyright.PENANArgF9FjveaN
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANADKxoizeHq3
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAlSH0C4n591
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA8m534QB7VP
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1UMZ0fW1Xn
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”
39Please respect copyright.PENANA5FBLIlf3O8
Shenron: “As you wish."
