Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHIvxlBQIM
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8N53z8tg3
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdehrw89GkX
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HW52QlCBS
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHg6hSvTAU
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFECt8GfnSw
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj92NOBaMg8
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GjMnvvjsC
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5OQmYR5ZM
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFdZStT8kg
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhrgBQA6kJ
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPivOEvCnH
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevhqNlyBPg
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYACsx7ygom
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPJVJqvCwM
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdKzEbFlqT
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RP7F3e4rG
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3RM0ya0Tz
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.

“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipxGpwsf0k
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyM7NVv7kc
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27FFOWHYZE
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzxlPbmCg1
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhGYMOiohJ
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOgzxBeiGE
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx9BpcmVFC
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJR72XKgub
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv7xzuers5
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBZnBzhwHK
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuk3FEG3XP
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HDBDtPq4E
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVicigjgDE
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfnkKGmp44
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGsJQtpflx
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD7EhPlGmy
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpFqp33Xa2
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneJC5GPF40
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnjHGbf6gi
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2IDg5BgKr
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBC4n2fTzB
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWZYpdiNex
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dqnsU942Z
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqXWHzsIvW
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyicT6N9QPl
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaGR4qhiJh
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1aiaTWAG7
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iVqANQXIb
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyqdRNqeVN
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDXaErPGOK
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcBBC22C5f
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiS6q2GhlP
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ70VB0xLs
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISZd2wzgSX
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKbsZMu4Kl
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlczPNnvwsn
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz24qWcNXJ
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie0Wl83sCH
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjnBrOcFZx
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1lwllKv1Z
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2w5wTIUu8
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DnGyZQdoh
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2pi5nCAyP
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQkB2fBWhJ
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ALSrLctx6
Beet: “Haaa!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ276StAn9Gj
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtioXm8TCRd
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhg8C3CdaE
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD9AznAHTg
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31wVTVPGJY
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr4aXyLi1H
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kIVKH7b9F
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-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzZdfYaV9g
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U27QvPeZg
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbpHA7l1tr
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFUNQuMkCs
Kakarot: “Enough”!
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHtMiaZUBN
Beet: “Huh?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYkbqE8Dox
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPakWNKwWTR
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjXcAoOiTT
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3fYOxhPjH
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0MahCtKXp
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdej6QlRkz1
Beet: “Right!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGUe8YBzPt
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsEnNJRpiG
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyDhJhlpfm
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxsEfzUUz1
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTREcs1cyhK
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhpB3r4Ndh
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVwtulCTfs
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FvIuhWadW
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxcWig8aBm
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yfz6WRWRy
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTehXnS2fm
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6Ep2c2ki1
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5txYnqkoo6
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIprMn5A2w
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.

Colonel: “On it, my lord.”

The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhv8Skz0k0k

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAQJkRrHY0

“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”

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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVYCcOmra4
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYZ74xb77e
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.

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4e5FM3kqo
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxmuP2ZvwO
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupofuTEIbz
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8ZtdLL2Cv
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAMohoUnjn
Bulma chuckled.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCga46oPTK
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkrjNz2KsU
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm0LbCWkrT

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0kBgaxUXy

Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o1g9R3SYP
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzuCKCNk4y
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUWsUjEwQM
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmspWcsw1L
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8uN0t6k7I
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44L9EbEElY
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjVdALVLy5
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zXTeVn8jo
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzPAq2oBBR
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazvp2kkony
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfxSkt7hwM
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOHL0cQOpL
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoONPQbyZB
Kakarot: “Enough!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKUlnlXO4k
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp4J8QHyVt
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNBjiJDntH
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KEA9pPKz3
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VvVQZiWqI
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafnoGRbMxB
Beet: “Sir!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguF1SEMoh5
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOLJYn5WhQ
Bulma: “Beet!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLs5mDjqUa
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM57kgbbYob
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01kYpmtAvb
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCoaGJqIbh
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChzBNlBHA1
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTarAcQHZqx
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZzRCWqSvs
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjxlTBaWBP
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbawyZHQPe
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XfYIthUN5
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.”

Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP42VnEvutN
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJqL8PmhzT
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFe90Ka2We
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPTYZwIVVt
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaS4TSeB7X
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVjscxDYHN
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXr9N7SVXT
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DNvjDLbh0
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCWi1oj8bz
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfcfsVuPaV
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjKFlY3PQk
Raditz: “You have my word.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2TZcEmbcB
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNeDyyRnaX
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfZdINglYy
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7Cq826Dcu
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ45MYDE2h4
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BOnpfBlzn
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYbH4AhDvA
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rw9faeCNG
Raditz chuckled.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsX1lq0zFR
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR52mWoL9f
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbqsJMhIpq
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45xRYWKyJp
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQpT0YDdo3
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvkbSbhLzT
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwADXhwUpsL
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW0Llh0H2A
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiyao9GzML
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PP04Oey4i
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzxM7Ztot2
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzedGqyhSm
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BWhTzxzNC
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yrCP0xSM0
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbH96tBASR
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6cAq1hYy7
Raditz took a deep breath.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7vVEeDk83
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqcDUVYpgF
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iw2LTJx2I
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgGgPsnXuV
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UMoM7PegG
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3TN3dSBnX
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIpR0mMTVk
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vZSmBotam
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWi6oFe0kU
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW8jBwMlHw
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa0ccVAzA9
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqDcRclN5y
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj6huR4P9t
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡew0jifDnkc
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsKYkWMWr0
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7NM4r5ZJv
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7dsAgHjhN
Kakarot: “The prince?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXm8tuR5C3
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeyQu669Ts
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtISLLbhXsg
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXpyCiEBWv
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ETLiK0vV
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6n7StJNyZ
Kakarot: “….”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds1OYGR7aG
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMRNVNmJyW
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmr5tBoyov
Bulma hesitated to reply.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8saMwVQz1
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2VSEfD9es
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4kzUrevUg
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOmWkuFmIN
Beet: “Sir!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTDjtttUa5
He came face to face with his father.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XpQ2tEpOF
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCuMXsBnYa
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98CEYkhEPD
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jKohDl3bn
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1aK2hIbdj
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uZAXsEDk2
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo34qk4rc3p
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytDVzVkJLt
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgne5G0jOng
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOLsYaK5vl
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH6iBIHcUr
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLBreGMcKn
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqylj2CODL
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89fSQDPG17
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.’
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZXHDQBwYY
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErQ0AWkj9V
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ9PhygALY
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXuEB5RhM7
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfOH0l12yo
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4oezgVOXq
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCvfSnqDtl
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoBoA6UIFE
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4STT444HAh
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuMJIiT0O8
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeGcnhFm1l
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAdHanP4zp
The prince hesitated.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo43Z073pvU
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqZz8h6dVO
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD43HEfb29c
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznMGhrEe0q
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYj0rDhTRh
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjlsQgVr94
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRKC28n6iT
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk27xFkk94
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboxqDdtLhw
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAXA34mvUG
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKI66ak3Xl
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCGM4FhZEZ
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaBRuvJbV7
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYqbLQsy5P
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZCatGHa7u
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuYetTIReB
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtFjFmAB51
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUd6nYPjOT
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oUu2N0A7b
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUCYRb8RE9
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeBM1ZA9N0
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTom0z3RKb
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaI50qvluR
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8X6v61hpN
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp98Ibp6GX
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE0WVna04n
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RvlnrcTYV
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ038n30gmiy
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjUvNZqQ7A
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLaaypwPvN
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigkmykGqMI
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCF2JYQFtD
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnmbMy1sGN
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOax7tc2qp9
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9GbNkJ7Na
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fSv6jPQDP
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G0dMBQUGH
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqwccOVdJx
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDRU1QpwBO
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7XRfXrq2u
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL05jMWv0J
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2FH6ZKkfo
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8TCMIyHcG
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oHXQ2Qw8P
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNxkGyThsw
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQwE4Rac5p
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5qnxL3FfM
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ841YJForWq
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKMIEEZBJd
Kakarot: “What was that?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwAfIZBnb9
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bIQTyg3W0
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimW3hsATjh
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDAV2Ev7No
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7L86J2NBH
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslB7VuaZVI
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua3kG29g41
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ItqRBcRY6
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG53wDKQ6E
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU37qo7S6D
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SANbtn7Ya
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkBHigGygK
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqczvGRXKL
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oZCRoO0vQ
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpBTwgLyUL
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7DJShVuBi
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ147F5h8iq3
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuUhQCdWoq
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uawjHcQZU
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCF8E7nsUG
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlxjNJViTW
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUgZZbSSv8
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2PnbkH4iM
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkHHPEmIaM
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuHx2Hzd79
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjRA0IC8zt
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUUrbf5taM
“Your foot is on my tail!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgZ0DH62h5
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIx1Q1LU3o
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aMZMikdDd
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILiGEF0xia
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6LchEkUgV
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX6uusm1Zo
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyXfpAiREh
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dIzeHUf9u
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBve7mv1Wcw
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv67MwjnT6
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf85ObbeZt5
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPSF2X3uMF
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZNcwBL59q
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9QSCQs744
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSb6nH4fD7
Kakarot smiled.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S5oqJNsjD
Kakarot: “Understood!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9ScgMOVVN
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB4QtXgBV4
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qT9b2hhAk
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm0f3vGAaB
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqXb3BezOt
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuFcawjiNi
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQxeeL8xjb
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULhxH1pbYm
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGG0iWxGly
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc354vaa0b

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKOPf86lR9
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2axRcVAje
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wu2SZXGXo

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWPI4tjmot
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfuBuy7SuB
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLLiboXIP2
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsrFlsgF3L
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eE6RJFh1p
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N2Sdfe28w
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROaiovg7Dt
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIjy4CKtib
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVWj0zcyOP
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BxDFrzY8o
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXxhHuoEgT
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wxdNJf8Je
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxDkOLmNBd
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutJuwc06hK
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bQWWEYRXc
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MSex6i1WE
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AwqaorbUj
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlS62dyeX2

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu6VA4w3ps

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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6HqNPoejn
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFimFXDo0eM

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyg4RHKEKb
Kakarot: “Huh?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzRTUa3v48
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMIl7IF4dB
Raditz: “Why you!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv2wKbj1pD
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFFyC942r7
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe73NBqGt7

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWDcholWjB
Raditz: ‘Right!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MVSQqOf0F

Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh5LDUGxCu
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLAdf4EakJ
“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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2AiRwAKQV
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEitTSBiSi
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIOqpLpET0
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNgobQBTWs
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11kvlVhXHB
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yFps61XZY
Doctor: “I will sir.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGHY6ZZvUo
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj3F0lZXB1
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl78Dgfs0vB

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfMR68mc4Q

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILsMSntBQY

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJygOMOO0lJ
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCAcd3zGxk
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd6xbeH6vH
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9dK1FbHIb
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvHa1kNfkF
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeozusMs4KB
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18SV3r1j1R
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtPRsPgswp
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIqyeTHSMw
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFKbk1EARs
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIMuNlN8uJ
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGvY7zFcED
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KSqYDwQp3

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQfL6PzatK

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYONo8vVZSA

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6bBqY1CJK

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBLsWmo92k

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz0lZcW7pK
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTNaby0Tgf
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HJKdOQ2Zn
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjchHVovXR4
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNPjopChXf
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujSrmtnRUz
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.

Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN7PBBSceq

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRkhkqZ33o
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SCllWNuOD
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hygc4crB7
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wOWdoggV4
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc7UPFwy3k
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQg7ZGJEWG
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhau7eJOAlS
Raditz: “I will..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbq1bZqkIQ
Raditz turned to his comrades.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMuB0jqo9B
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6UTJZ8vxu
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDWJ1KkCtl
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJLFPfct2w
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVOdmTzUML
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdUs2k1EV3
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4xc4bmQVY
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpUjkA3BrA
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV60quCWqFD
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6fdBynkrg
Beet: “Okay!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmzxHVxi2g
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPvsU7JGbx
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7x5u7GBF3
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXcEgr18c7
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUwZRpT8PZ
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygsn9XWwnz
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb14t755zH
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTqIdHrHNv
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFTphD5vMQ
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTAFR35wXv
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrfmxysFmf
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCpeGfe9Jm
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxfLirNTlW
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8OawTmVOC
Beet: “O-Okay.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi9rZfo87x
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbqYkJPysk
Kakarot: “What happened?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEDp1U2YZr
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoWwjmM0aw
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMZomuadHd
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXupHx3EMs
Kakarot: “Fine.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQSgtLXFbr
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2BVDb8uCj
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv1n5384nJ
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvzROTw1qH
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTD6UfveoO
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB7RZ23VSc
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns4xyqXi0X
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNH0dbcpgg
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCPJXwXtbV
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr6rXnOTYC
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWtMXzuEwq
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuNqlK0nuo
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Ol3t7508
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIhNnsjaDe
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmpTXrRL25
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMFdknhAfi
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwuHaUMxSL
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pck1IS3RA
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBIACQmbPd
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqNCnTlCAb
Raditz: “Understood.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M7s9ZHW1F
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QCrp1DgPZ
Raditz departed from the room.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUzmQlvzzk
“Haaaa”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJhy01gca9
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK8DLxAe1v
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dqyg8IvCY
Kakarot: “Right.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS7DY1W1MQ
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0QbKk5v6Y
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvzindqA55
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoYjly2fPR
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJst5rsBLaX
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclzyTsnIJz
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU6wb5nIom
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYySty0Leoi
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqfjM8t0Qi
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ujg0SYLx
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpRoXepyFS
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkEqaYY8ju
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e5hCHWBvU
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23KGdyKJsd
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYEmYcvP8Q
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKgqGFLVsX
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtFHcjG2Nq
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOBjNOigxV
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lzFV5izkG
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1jHJxIcMr
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hHWz8BzTe
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRonHRdQ9t
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbccJPtQTb
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivEz00ew92
Kakarot turned around.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiUmrpDiaJ
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEjnCXKV1I
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUOoo4kMRH
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxXfdu6O1T
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9HcVX7ID
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGermC0DaS
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwn3GBY1IK
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIzdEL3ffr
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdNzbKJ6NS
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkLNGrA0Ir
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR9qFkHmBo
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg3GKcqVwa
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjRdp5AG46
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeB2jqZoi8
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1irs8ALi7B
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbL9pQYgi3
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN8xtn6IQd
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV42WPEuYG3
Kakarot: “Right!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeqfvw56WJ
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSW2MT63I1
Kakarot: “Yes?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAvKyuaOhj
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIsWvfCZ42
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBhbQRjtVT
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtjKGiDliD
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0IDQ5TJlX
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKsEEROzfK
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb09uVmB6H
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ryjgwAbOl
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl2Its1rzg
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYechrLidVJ
Raditz turned to his brother.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64CUm3IHya
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m83D9a88E
Raditz: “Right..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte1iRzPsSi
Raditz took off with his pod.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs4H8GJgm2
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmPX4ziC7h
“Let me take a look.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKzuZCuEZI
Beep! Beep! Beep!
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjqd2PU8nh
“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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqik6yG9w1
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSKHdF1Q6r
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzBRts08X9
He bowed in respect.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqKzW2xf93
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIA8avHg0C
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHIkaoaem0
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy7fSWiNL5
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fwk3ZgrKa
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMgJtrPPNk
Raditz: “As you wish.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph0nYe4jrv
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgT3yyLcvP
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BwzeiV2CP
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQRKSWBI1v
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxEYUaZaww
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTJwgQtVA2
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97TYQw7frD
Zarbon took his leave.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S66i1t4Cj
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA0V1W5u7I
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR2lM64dCk
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEds86NtLa
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDosLu9ifY
Raditz chuckled.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlr0TbPzcu
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1gsuyCLDv
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5eV56ZSka
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyHFXH4HFk
Beep! Beep! Beep!
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ3YpAQbdC
Raditz: “He's here…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoba0ZRdlpc
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DLFEeCIv2
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvCz79Hw1K
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJaAuIrLvM
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbowgi6rGFr
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nncZacM08
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2BfrLWV5o
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTlQwWp0e5
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNyq0FbaWt
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghOE9RuwtH
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv8a9hOMBN
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjP8F8nL6w
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡury6lKQ24m
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdhpUsbSRs
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PewQbDcGl
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFnXGPbakI
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hVC9lwO5o
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHyTPknHjH
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZmHdiU9cP
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cJaWc9qIo
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVQ6EpvesZ
Raditz: “Damn it!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNTM5JEGnl
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHvp1L470K
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVrXuuk1Ng
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3UtIBnlTw
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelDs6Tc7If
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQDYdcLAiK
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaqwciOAN7
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytw1VilZ0S
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyoKnlq6Hm
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgLMUfO23j
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLx7QRxFvN
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAYUSVMHpu

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgX9qY0P0u
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm8ODZ4Qul
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKfTgeVPNZ
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou1imbEGxz
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM4veCwr0Z
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CrmAlclmD
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAbQNNzM0n
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7HudOmBy4
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAJMAu92cQ

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KBVQuGDcL
Dodoria: “Why you!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0oTJ4nvXw
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtX0ThNIME
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2hZrpdpXj
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnu8C1o2Vp
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJQGG2OHkl
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G6cmjbZ0e

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63U3V2NUQP

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dYDzICXvo
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6EsFKdsze
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFury1DJ6z
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9RJvPboTQ
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9uzKOQBzT
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVboLuf89xD
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsHY7C0wgC
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYmrvGc9vg
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRniaPBZx0M
Vegeta: “Huh?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZInuUz0YY

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjnCwRinvV
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR0h8Z2nd3
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5G3wg1IYM
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5BmJchZ4N
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3jwBfOeFq
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbQpQ0uE2L
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeWVsYdcTF
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh86Zh8mdxL
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ccgMTT3FI

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfQTR4D1mn
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo1RA86gbQ
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJaRGGy820
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVHPruyt3m
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzu3rRaLhu
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTxMiyOIkg
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgxacd65oZ

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEw6zn3XTD
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hOSVavHDE
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTT4loMYj9
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mw4PktJmR

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPyWCWBHHQ

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04rnWeoUpv
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPGvLLLodB
Frieza: “Y-You-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfhFOGMEQz

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBDDxMEdm3

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIWe4MbxHB
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxJsVNagat
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JXCx91qUH
Kakarot: “Not again!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrijQg4ptd
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUGo1MasHF
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjKwzlumQL

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBP7NSadm9
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRJEFtcPes
Kakarot: “Look out!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz47L7Qwow9
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgluOqNpJ9

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz1egHI8Dw
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z6FdibNGJ

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp4wmqShyt
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBaq4Hfhld
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHcAW0cUAC
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI88tGai6b
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRRlVxCSA0
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDtA1Yq0eQ
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi9GDJqjlb
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHFcXIl96D

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkZqdQdurX
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8xxuO3vum
Frieza: “You again!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq4zhSgbq3
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nrYx9To7N
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnCIDm1kqU
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OUMy19wdx
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrD3KnLPxwG
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL4P9K52VA
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZIvFub8Yv
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkzUm9JVVZ
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPtcGJi6Ox
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaN2uHb2vM
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6np2BbKabg
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0z8y2sSVm
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FUjgSdkU1
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkFkrWVLe8
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB750B6oETf
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mHfp7baej
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVpOKVo9iw
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SkziuwWfJ
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBclQ61TCO
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqDNaMwCG6
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQaBx7F2Rt
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EC904lx4Z
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jxh2QIZoE
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡft25SOtR3E
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDQspmqtaD
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLoqfqU5ZU

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7tGnenR9Q
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6MwZHlzF4
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHtVJtBINb

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7o8P8qa0l
“Haaaaaa!!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV931oLMlt
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopTrnjGXl4

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6PMgwL5HQ

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cIl9UhHMw
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJhLJ1YSTh
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lqTtBnCHk

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSxXdrz1LJ
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz9jihhDFp
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJrHJLtXMl

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO1K40N7wO
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwAwCWoM1C
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVr9xIrMdp

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM5r8TJWNV
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj3aO9FugK
Kakarot: “It's done…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT69JfGUGw
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQXdU9xiDw
Vegeta ascended into the air.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ752LdcZr
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hb2hrLWHu
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJHI9AB18J
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw00kYdbsu
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiolFAcB1xd
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5w3DT0k0l
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMjHouZJUx
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxTlVWj4WB
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0Jxx2F2LG
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXCv1MBwzu
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eR5jhbUrk
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaI2fx5Xjt
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIuM3g9ASF
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYU34K5Xtx
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSerB4fTMG
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarfDvg2OQP
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rfo3NKNCZ
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGvlm1Ok9c
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NzppFMVoN
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTfF90JPIh
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswpAJ3SqHN
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXxIoFqjfm
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0W5wjaPqy
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYTNwWBXqX
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhRRn2EIcE
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjAmEEO6cb
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQls9rkkEn
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfqGAuRTcs
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHQ9J9RMgM
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q512PEowS
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV7E1taIBo
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdHqIrp03P
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQICHy0d0aT
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xXCD4EhEy
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRySw1TFROE
He looked at his fist in shame.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUteWJeOlZs
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZnpG7CA7r
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBbEcXOxYx
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bV89MQ2Di
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnbR3DrXW1
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiQnAoXaOZ
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgriZXzE1Xl
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2OlDruujA
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHkqLhEmc1
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKqEhZTL8E
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEccbRyN3T
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoJt8f6L2R
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxhA0HNKt7
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Vys84tdg
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe7nhdZd4l
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..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQJdl998V8
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxUd7nI8w8
Kakarot: “No…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EBS0zsAs4
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fo7rT80fR
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTy2ki0gow
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5r9oPIBmAa
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXajXm6Vbty
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaElzcIT1g
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IkPQZl8aU
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx2g1pBkFH
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTmf23RdiW
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRWqdGRjLs
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0FKLn1X8d
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTGZBmIygt
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko2xy7vrzc
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhu4ed3YWG
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhP2DFUUN5
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tSm1K4Mij
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfCn9TE2dQ
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfmPoPtV5K
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp4cK4jKSX
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMxwiePPiq
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJW1O4bjjg
Raditz bowed down in respect.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSvTrTcAjf
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB0TS3vypV
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEuKlbOlPl
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetniNtJv0F
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ7scwCOrV
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdFWrV6EZQ
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavkqNuR7Ay
Raditz: “Right!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LdHuGFQWL
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw18yYT2PP
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsHNY2OGsG
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYxFz6JtBY
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1bcttnIvu
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBcDDPmsoM
Tears ran down his face.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhcnksz0JT
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?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrftFwN3UW
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwwxak2Kca
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEh4kVAtVR
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VINre89ay
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nSfSkGqqJ
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjfmpU5MCn
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAbhkAGt4D
Raditz smirked.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaE7Ohwfgo
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUcbZnFEjO
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAisjGKtYP
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK6R2gv3WB
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMaWe3nI8c
He pounded the ground.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNufQ66trLF
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoeQneFpSg
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwvkWfcwSS
Kakarot: “To fight!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR8pT8lCgc
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHLEHy71Pf
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqOkq82tZR
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ejFL7Asvy
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J5U2FLEL6
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqiio7ioU7
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsidUy5Mu9f
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmfg5Q5bgy
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJEq9lXpHU
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgkwN69ZiM
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59sNmg8BIO
Vegeta: “Wait!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69epRIc7qU
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKgO70wLFE
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgAxfWtd8R
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGaUv4swpS
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGVjxxddFd
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTtXonB3RX
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
