Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsU3nROccfP
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tfzEZnEFd
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuwJPX759s
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4DmeIpwYc
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2gycIOVGB
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb65tZqaIh
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWWMEKjBxb
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkIL4zDoM9
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4zoecFPTe
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ3XvnY1xo
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd63zSFF09A
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYd9lVO3qv
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXeLF8I6AI
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNehizLCVz
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgI7nrVzzl
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuWas9gbTG
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVvJGBEaZC
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQctqHrWao
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRiU3MZzuR
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszylICxAEK
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5Kr5e2kOj
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Ejny32FN
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMvyh5zDcb
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61cWYXVuWw
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrxVNrMxiN
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKM2oUipvH
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhxQ6BHdLE
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzUjMi1I71
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtichy985uA
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgf5f0rVhN
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cS5OkA20T
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY1qMATkRj
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncrWiLe5rC
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PfySfT24g
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdgO1eRdbO
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sXGI4YjQY
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18pi2zHhTi
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4h7qEbA1a
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvaAc845KT
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVSbDABZNh
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf5F3Koyjy
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv9Ex5TUjl
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tazqhQvQy
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yi1zJbYbd
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEMAmvooAZ
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPFoY1qjrj
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LKYcc22MQ
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYUukenO21
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4iHBHOtrI
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUvRaf37ow
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T9at84tCT
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb3BunwcKe
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABob1FA5Vq
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUguoYRULf7
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nV1Bg7XXr
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PWi4fXM4T
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5WKzDZBG5
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUGZHz3DdV
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp0t8pyRhp
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYp5m6zd6Q
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T8NKQQqqX
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecE63xM2t9
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrnjknEbM2
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJpeDdh82W
Beet: “Haaa!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDdJ5B5oNk
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO32rJEMXV
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2bLJy5aoV
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yO0ulQh2g
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPW59JtXeYZ
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkBXXTqZBx
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl26Ddi1x88
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-”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrv7imtDq4
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2LWz7EPnV
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uYfFstuS4
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12qgfODkVj
Kakarot: “Enough”!
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe4HGOhBf3
Beet: “Huh?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajPxKDIoaH
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6i4GyPlm7
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDXJchnEtN
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDKmwWrvon
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG2G1bOIzU
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIVQjuIY46
Beet: “Right!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknvP6o6Qo6
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbQPgI6Dau
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWphE6oVi0x
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg2rV2HH8g
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaytpKR5Ecx
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHAQ9E4GyU
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQpL4edSVj
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA9xTdhbcu
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL0FlhfdpA
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtVDMzhuz5
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwX9G2N9L1
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx2QfG8qzO
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5oDoARR0Y
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98VeV6Lfqy
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx797alWFwa

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoHAQUYyCd
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpecr5Hxjaj
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdL94wjhRf
“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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIlMSSILrH
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBwxbW8cbr
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgaYyWYhWZ
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVoFjrnfPg
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8l1CXGfGD
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJhLwAijW9
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDStEBhPAk
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPblvLD3RIy
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFcrOx9wHk
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgBkWJNFds
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaQe0uQfgQ
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDdLJ1MqRu
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXs0z88I1X
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdndpeMbijs
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUOxKfq48U
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOXkHRP07G
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrb9MMSaIU
Bulma chuckled.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVDGPUAp6l
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqO34taqlLk
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXetB6bUjE5
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q1lrnEugo
Beet: “Momm!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ecF8kgJD
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAiul0xMvg
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffwxcnx1xv
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCeaBWDo4W
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMJrwp9FKC
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DrtUE3R1M
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMZWtNhwhm
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOUlAut8Jz
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLM9EKH3q1
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCITHGhYCl
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt2eGUrWSy
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jov1FfRA0
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpher8M4MAm
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eyEsF0dr5
Kakarot: “Enough!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLYzGBPzPF
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZStogG3Q8H
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEIlundWZ8
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMwmcXNYTl
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeD5HiiYvo
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Y18y65ur
Beet: “Sir!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10dMWuckmN
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASnNhLKgkq
Bulma: “Beet!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmjA2mufas
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw40zixaUP
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwyzAM7n0P
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKlJ14WSHX
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgoUOgjqug
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vW4yUIYHR
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JwVAPzwpA
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MKFOOvyEo
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgMXHSpkUo
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gHu6lUVcU
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiVhXCKls9
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn6J0RFlkP
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU2f7cjj1s
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4WfZBjUPq
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhUiHsRpe8
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQDRSWrakf
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yzL3jiJMs
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA0AilRhud
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UzYOJeJmx
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFLmal4s4s
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbw12Zk4UK
Raditz: “You have my word.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxE9wzOyAd
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKe3YS9oxl
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy8LanMdXu
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADxY5MTDLR
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH1nZnA5h4
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8yfVW9NTo
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDvvgfMBCC
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHXUmqEFcl
Raditz chuckled.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3VOIQKbdV
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi4KjZRDca
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9MWFPgCKv
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhix8HKIjrb
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCyAaBfzB0
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyelcUBuRe
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWkM3v8KbT
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEO4PgSRd4
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHIxzMTuAB
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qdnb1sHM6
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6naHOw7mb
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjw5Q6UiZz
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRruuuUg9VZ
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadepQBc2Fq
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yThj9Tjaz
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb56dOvikj
Raditz took a deep breath.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCV3S7u5Xa
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExJAy4yHHu
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVYjnVkmIK
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6BIPkf2Lj
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrhw4pAzNE
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwngKL46c3s
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcwyPtjv46
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qYYBEvz3N
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40NVizYvfj
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmWzLJYSvO
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMzlIhoTWn
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4mbVdIVyK
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4XsmhL2FQ
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a6rqllu1t
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWgWaBHrkD
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhtuozL0XF
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawo3hfW7IL
Kakarot: “The prince?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt38PEKR9L
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhnxe8NZWV
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmlHWGT7xa
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXJFam3tk0
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i3tCuCWiB
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk8vgjUNk9
Kakarot: “….”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHWTqeODCG
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E9VESGuBr
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHztmVzFhZj
Bulma hesitated to reply.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNpnfRarAF
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsp4kX0Kk6
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOFxgRD40a
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojC2njzXi0
Beet: “Sir!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq14ilWaIIh
He came face to face with his father.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGudKD0Efa
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KE4uJf3Yi
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqoiM12CH0
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu2XtB7yc1
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g3kqURUwF
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSK2VhGwL3
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJB3BFpxbS
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPCMgOsydt
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnqTkilbGw
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cpBMXlwgH
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFIeGbRLNh
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq5VrEMEyx
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaDqScGRAX
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hf8knTdPL
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.’
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZmti7ovLc
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH30pPvPVVz
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9ZVZfPLXF
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPH265r8GQ
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5eAOhAcr8
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1lqwZeGYe
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pIhgILrOk
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwmeh3zaow
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1u7KS9hX0
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLZncS60iZ
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh3cApDpF2
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqHiKafnwT
The prince hesitated.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd68ZHPFU3T
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NlPYh9Odf
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwvleeY7Ku
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoSNwGmSDH
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQVIpBQ6n4
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePSEwVKekl
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xa0WujdnZ
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAsBLLvvkZ
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLepKiXNsA
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg9KMtXsB1
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxVpUrZYNx
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc7zlx6hjG
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwBsVIGTXo
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRP7m2hdbZ
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjXAqOd9cq
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJMRtfVoSS
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04ICiP3Gi9
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UwucfNbAI
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7YPCu1ecG
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVQcSazHPr
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1Y6Z1bcS7
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZwfCLcNjE
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQEteOZs7b
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk1isDOnrn
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NbtieOw1O
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBVRKpYfXG
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM5ZmS3nNs
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zZ4arJd5F
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqcUxr1qiH
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUOXxEzAKs
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniBI9kxICJ
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGl7mGRun9
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcIAsT1Zw
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutY5V3ApbP
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lFwIl2IEi
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4w3DwU6Wy
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCFijUXvtZ
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mHFo1P1ug
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjzWHRzxS5
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZo9V1eTgi
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IWUM43nRs
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9NtTdkOVr
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM0bxF95DX
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpMq5Q7zXe
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrOkrDRWFH
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Oknn9Jay
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunWrV1yKbZ
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1esyoujehV
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6YWOnYjxd
Kakarot: “What was that?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbdYv3dhiR
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eVbB4wiQV
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8hmxpBSN2
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl4fO5ujKG
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dlbypIhed
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc8WouiCm8
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJESSxwmvA0
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwwEm2QcTn
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8pvLXUM8J
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP6DpojJoN
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R3c07RxkV
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G3tqC5cwV
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz899F5wmhh
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1iAWNFS9u
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYfm4RVsga
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE82Ui6farK
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSV7DFhahn
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVO4cCagYL
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE4Ek7PHpj
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKFAPeCe3f
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TWg7RDrBU
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ocLa2u1YJ
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwVBzwaeF8
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCVV7afs9P
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7BAkoWm9R
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP0yudLlrX
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmX45XHHgN
“Your foot is on my tail!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK5QAIARhX
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXf4Qj5Z2t
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc7YsJr7l0
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQqZE3qJC2
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUXpb6dr52
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsojO1woG2c
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28CNFXQikE
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhW1TDSsei
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z88sGuzbI
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhY1gtqLNM
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajwIvNcXot
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkycghg2b0U
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU1ZadjIvC
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeDA3OCAco
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ti6KhGBKK
Kakarot smiled.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJHPYihu7N
Kakarot: “Understood!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGtAX15rUu
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2sQ5dtec5
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xSJ8JibTY
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6SLcJek9J
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bSeUnByjv
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWO5Gm6WqEt
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrRln9Mtvc
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOkFaszKfX
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjHn2dAa0c
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRJ9cr04Va

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6JWxrXANj
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9zX1jdh6I
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPAYyAgOuy

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYjx79lU8E
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoogRPfZYH1
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaelLVaoHv
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLvhkcOliC
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1r82knEYP4
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXleyy5jzI
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZa40bAtWe
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVm0SWHiHX
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOza8LX23Gb
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJIkFpwzVW
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlpjGHMQIj
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScPtFmoSLg
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFqjpJcI8o
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzcgdBLyf7
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65t979jYCm
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqlgoH7km6
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhoFPQ3BUp
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnmd1SSGrK
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QAvjqLQ7J

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaQoGXCMkZ
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYDoYfQhbq
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDLvAeXF90

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1vKor0Ehz

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7odf8t2Q9
Kakarot: “Huh?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm3FiTlFgL
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2DkV37OOd
Raditz: “Why you!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMryS2L16q
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZcoYi4MnS
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAqcc9iqcI
Kakarot coughed out some blood before opening an eye.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WNe5kj6mD

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4475xPRAj2

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHVQFyQlvA

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6a8eUBtwa
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRpBRbczbj
“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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmxjhRMex3
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4ftZPv9hh
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM51yfcttUQ
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR1cI1O2os
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaOjUZqSDS
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsh3CK3c55
Doctor: “I will sir.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7JK3w2ko9
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmTmpUJr1j
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5bjqF2Yak

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDcBcpdukU

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiWRo9cMGM

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUgcp8S836
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Kf0xuUKA

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7WC0AyKaY
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7FOY53ZRI
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzjRcuVfkI
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYUfgwY8iF
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKnxLD0fHD
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsXqPcAOCx
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6F7T2XvZc
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQnuLEU6pC
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYmLNDF0Ke
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0bO0eqek5
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXRgibJ8HP

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm07p4cWJE
Kakarot: “When we win.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb16ER1Mggg

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFdFXDsARg

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vMqYFsXU2
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kcOQvk7bx
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrscBLhnJUf
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzxs3wprpe
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQBMzS59U9
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HaWvhlRWH
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1PwPS42ub
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqebWMlVTE

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsnu5ICUj9
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5zY8trcJb
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!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrN9DxX1bU
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1DSyysrFF
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CPgHELC0A
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFB9jq56Ei
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIwcumUfQu
Raditz: “I will..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl0bj9PT7w
Raditz turned to his comrades.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT51jT14PsB
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtF71lePOT
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wzkj6G95I
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP3mU95x9j
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7JuX9LrVq
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgEyfhrar8
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeihW64jbao
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojAkHsPjmE
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXnw6OVNkW
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1VQEYYUKI
Beet: “Okay!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAgFgLKx9C
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOupeNsqTn2
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmvQBfuZDU
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2NrnEvLIF
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYDngGeiGP
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHchyAHkLWq
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXFrgpmh4Y
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklXarzpOW9
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEME029hg3
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljZpbwHWps
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAy4ON0YWK
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyMzmXa6M0
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBwfo1osfu
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fr2espvH3
Beet: “O-Okay.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQyb7MYFtz
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzO9Xo3wF5
Kakarot: “What happened?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFf84XOXF43
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxrmLUIwMo
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS7wuIrM5W
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdnvuMT9Mi
Kakarot: “Fine.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTsBnWHe2m
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0To2zEGSq3
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhexan0Zwag
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjIdFEaoQF
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i1uwYu8qM
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOEp9oa8kV
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqnZOKUKP8
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9hKgPNQU9
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBaK8TMhCB
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQRlEsIBIV
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dr7asoptM
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jMpSshlaU
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoAnuHHUOT
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH3qsdC70U
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SYEo0hxAK
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQhHMWfVtM
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YJp1s0KD9
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKd7z0do3
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZzOkxbPXD
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd82lS4JAPa
Raditz: “Understood.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBNYoJDh1N
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXNqy6hezQ
Raditz departed from the room.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwMXEPzKsJ
“Haaaa”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwD6nh60MM0
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07dsDAanhM
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvIgdFgbaL
Kakarot: “Right.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISHaNaUKf8
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYBCrDbftg
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYYeKtinIR
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0FEoOMK4K
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlqcXuGETH
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnhBh5UhIf
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVhi916KHG
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EKH4I7JD8
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnZZhQc4sU
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95YtsBikMw
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNNGcQLxTA
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jUbodRNxP
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gBctCs8ZI
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpv99z9omS
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIszbOlcdvo
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdsa5lc7kD
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPlUoHIcn8
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3TE9jFnt4
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLN0EEPN1Q
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ifykbJXM6
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsT358A1lu
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S5CZZ9H4r
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQChWP34qbp
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfazrKMeUl
Kakarot turned around.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMo86ZppTY
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjmbxa5zhJ
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatQAX6g4iZ
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIBJhTD05I
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh57vEeI8uT
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1wptf7Pxv
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd32DDcoEaC
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN25TP40UFD
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnPDrB3uEf
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRldAfbiECc
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nKpWJ0O64
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT91iNxcNn
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPCLpuZtsP
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TEmou7MUv
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wb8lXUuWD
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahBNon09mA
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdNsoPOv1N
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0qtc7OFXp
Kakarot: “Right!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVel6aMeEl
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZM2BV5jX4
Kakarot: “Yes?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbTPTcutqO
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUzTb8wOdY
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyGdfmdvR9
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9845RFlsIB
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLqtKQbcWG
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNYLygUF5D
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD0OZvmHHE
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmudnxqGNFB
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5qg5KuHxh
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZpjgSHOYF
Raditz turned to his brother.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGJY5xtWje
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT8vC1htvt
Raditz: “Right..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtXDCDANVN
Raditz took off with his pod.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYQQet9oY6
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Oju5JNtHF
“Let me take a look.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWrAU7hEkN
Beep! Beep! Beep!
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUmW3YPJzj
“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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABmgM4cbUj
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kbnqSsozO
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCv5N1JRpg
He bowed in respect.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wuz45Meda
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ZMha9UYZ
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ772DXvjBpE
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA9oemXQUY
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD92i6kUyyz
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMGzQniJlI
Raditz: “As you wish.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPgAMHK6GC
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMAjgsYiKG
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1NcXyII22
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyECzD3cbQf
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX5bN59BD4
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DoGiKFiWi
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCfGdhPjqO
Zarbon took his leave.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ3eO4MUZG
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcPylw26e0
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSIKSLI257
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8LI0DsGf8
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3hwFuVvLs
Raditz chuckled.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGP6aeghZg
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX7wXbV3gw
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZsiuCCeeY
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfyfmMOiJN
Beep! Beep! Beep!
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrYvFtrpr6
Raditz: “He's here…”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHGceohgQa
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpTBIceZlX
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Y6ClSBvy
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3P6cp9Uxa
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqd0yg0y3i
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkkfTGSCtc
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN2AoOc5WG
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFknLhvLnVJ
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZIUlXLIyO
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0bM6xyzg4
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Tp4jeFM1
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK3allgeUY
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQisQrQ6tpK
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRjGwgphcK
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYRTCfryzU
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklM13Y2IVT
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bKI0FX8yz
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6clU1b8cW
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8J6nRl2XwP
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wtP5SrZKG
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmAPTCaMv4
Raditz: “Damn it!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemGXRLhKD2
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSh1dYQw1A
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkvS22tFax
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNIwYgZmNl
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GwWGPsdao
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nFhtjyEjL
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53ulLrMNoq
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvi2yKrydG
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R1xUHC6uc
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2wt1s4G9N
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadl07BFqPR
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J87t1wNQ5
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVHTZdsr2U
Beep! Beep! Beep!
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqHS3YjCMk
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmHhp0bz9A
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUxI4hlgeN
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WISiEU4NG
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiTeB8ctZM
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rFkM84AqM
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pOBPFmxtk
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.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYyKHn0o9E
Dodoria: “Why you!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6hllNMDp9
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4KhpKh4fz
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E9IqOy6uU
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw2pl7ETGX
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!”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohcYYrZBxc
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnmMFNLHii
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbU2NJdCHEe
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGL2OcOgDS
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJF8CyyErn
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGGHt6SJVF

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqrhAe8D0K
Vegeta: “Huh?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jrBrb4SRQ

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq4E9OKcQI
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdoC2BFbmg
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZBSCkWbfG
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2FiNSVEBj
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4G5V8K2B4
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpgV2AlbjC
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.

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.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxtCyt7aFp

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lExWq1WS4
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlsQkko0OL
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGJbs0LPrQ
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK5cmYUkf5
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0EcYpgjxM

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgklGfHoFOe
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqSQ6GSbFT
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueMa3wuqii
Kakarot: “Not again!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgaeqdyA6t
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP0p49DJv8

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTG3o5ppfd
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyN2yiG7GR
Kakarot: “Look out!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlLxplhRsK
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.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuvgVmPeAu

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KKkWIfoCb
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg8aHu1nCU
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOQQ9KBkYy
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHVXKZpuKk
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFWW2TOOM4
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR4fgGZbJd
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5fV28Girf

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHcupIuiPn
Frieza: “You again!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbqn4rdrF9
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY2BPQ0ING
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡernf1DeGiH
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3kls1457E
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdkcFkN6w8
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn91NHCGBDy
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfOPZpOlSu
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI1VvA8dbu
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsIFsHUTzq
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI6hWw7PvU
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVpJNb0xpa
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4t5xEXFO9
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqxZ6Lf25w
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ70HlOnWUo
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1hkjAgYyx
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3Pij7XmcW
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeVpG8gnKG
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijOe6JHHsA
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKnKYtO6bw
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmiomlhdwV
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jw5oaqPa8
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OCKY3Uy48
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygX08G2am2
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosd0Zb2zg2
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5lNjpddPa
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmneKHErGtr

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnwCWTTjZc
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUOCjWgkvJ

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAOTKPSPZz
“Haaaaaa!!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6jilIgIhX
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.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNDsDPOLZr
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPVnxy7VmJ
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuPF4XGL9t

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDVcVNAvba
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG4A34oYMu
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnFVQ32yXu
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHqj0qB0YP

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQCylzQYob
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabfuOiIiCn
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz1XxRYg8L
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPGEZXmF0A
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQQHl56OOu
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAVme9GtDu
Kakarot: “It's done…”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HeeKyOjm7
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvY9d5wYN3
Vegeta ascended into the air.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhxOKABkuO
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrdDel02qm
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGL8uXr7ds
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbJtaxqbLd
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UJqPZoJ8B
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgPempq2Mx
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwqGoPLnCe
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElRCHKjFDC
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a6SHbuyYd
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr5K3h8fCQ
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzD3VZCzqJ
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zHee9ei8S
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0uesMEqud
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtCjis8HVI
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMLh0MUiqd
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuysV7kyliA
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdGWMoi4BM
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW9NW9Asd7
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRomUCixok
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31FK62sgBC
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVQUv0AILy
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRWEOcK5Fx
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cGIx39dRO
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF5mPcL1UG
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90JZO3K5rh
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxJgg6H8jg
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJoQ2nwFGd
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisi5kpXHJk
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTgKSTtGzB
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1DjxbPhrW
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmxHOenvRF
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDlBQgzAkh
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCJ3Q54LtM
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDpd7kftoD
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3Ok44VGRv
He looked at his fist in shame.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHL6j3UY9h
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATxTpYsHoc
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCNnp5NjZ7
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnxrg9e6jp
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtX1mNA0o9
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoj1qmKxgl
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB22qY8B42
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RQsC11Wxz
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Fd7hBrZC
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM5hxh3odf
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptRQKCBLgG
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj3rLS0oRy
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6Rtbv4SI4
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY7txpxFWT
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WYFGMu8X4
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..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFBR7NWkpH
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy0HgQkfJJ
Kakarot: “No…”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhLG1aHdGD
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi60DutAhD
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWmi2VWNg2
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSB7irAMc8
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwi9qioooN
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGcblRhH9C
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMz0RI6xPo
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BMFFRIuWn
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh8M2dEe3I
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5W6t54hPk
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4fxsdidr6
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF88UMRXg8
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIk6TaFdG9
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt8Ki2YEkd
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRQIPJFook
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmsNa4ABEp
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfJ4dQHhWb
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5so9Y2X7xH
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUyXAGISHa
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKtOK1GYFC
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTxBb1ZWmp
Raditz bowed down in respect.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJbw8HwWky
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPyYnUPnaG
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC1uZXItPl
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb0DGXX9u1
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjARkpbPhZ
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjRfSStcsL
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrrboEjBIm
Raditz: “Right!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeROuTeQpTc
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx7tyMxyNq
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpD0yotVUd
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ9oxOyeH9
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGiiu1JK1x
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97KpHRD6T2
Tears ran down his face.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKKz3YGoV3
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyXVlyd5nb
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM43oodKu5b
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau28SW4z1H
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyhv011PvI
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGdV4co8b6
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvtHckXkz5
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlfbBeHEEp
Raditz smirked.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUrjrU2wGf
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiiL2zcipv
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY54RMbhZM
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSy9c1WJhp
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo4C4b1nOv
He pounded the ground.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG1tjTbiAF
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5ASSmdWE6
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBByevHPnQ
Kakarot: “To fight!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCioz63akB
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHquJGuAYb
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVi6WoQCMO
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwAtnW5hO0
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxanQs5w4o
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cocStTAl7
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ9czLO5Q9
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3loNuVf6r
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUdC7fvceL
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpefrrUtCcj
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4x0mfQ3Cr
Vegeta: “Wait!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnjBh3qzDY
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpszUg1ycKw
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptzU2v0zEH
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj2cLPYnrh
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7CVBzf58G
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfZIev5ce9
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!”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqk4EWjINT
Shenron: “As you wish."
