Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48iPJ8WYG2
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuaCyWZm5z
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqClJSAQHE5
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9DgG0IBBU
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCY5Odk1XG
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOPQVpSofn
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYVBJ05uP2
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb7L37YnMg
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeLzwlw31Z
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb6m2savWG
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUw4Sx4G29
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8RIEvF4PI
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPdRw2Oymk
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqycjldwqBO
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SADQpJQ9J
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtdz6oLNYw
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vbzsWgH8v
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCK1bwGZnq
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGSOv9ORZC
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SpCN2xtWn
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5bMUZNEe5
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9ud3eKnuJ
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSE07v09Uk
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXR7N3TiZL
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoeVtOsjms
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMc4f4eZbf
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tuYB0G56A
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vo2op9EwY
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN77RdlXav
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAKxsWO2uh
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ud9dGz8Hv
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyYCtfLaFB
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3XmJjMjk6
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGFA9vWdSj
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CrH5Epfka
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWJUxrOstI
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o3EXB52Sh
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7DRqSmYgU
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4DgjILSTK
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHl8mJTS97
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusAl6Y9Npu
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25bAeqhqZi
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrIeCgJWBf
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvppSufRE5
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VFzsqpeYp
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMQ28UTYEU
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33YqnOVsrC
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhBXjhCzY1
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48bWisoJ1f
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9WcuakxEy
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc1fQh3tP8
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2gDVcpQ7n
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o9gSyTsLc
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRNo4c91HY
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU3h6EpPOP
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBbWDvHuTV
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV8TkfHH65
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGanDUEZ3v
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX4vAqBuut
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwyN5kGNHt
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhpizNvp7U
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu4g3rTxVs
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhQKCTvEa3
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfk8TNHCdS
Beet: “Haaa!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerhaHIL9QJ
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIA635qayC
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMO4CP49gy
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmhK6ELacW
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNZCQeCfc1
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qMq5dpvmY
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0952KSwswk
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-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMN5flXhfl
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UIlfANZxL
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKqceZV3Xl
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BL7maj4fv
Kakarot: “Enough”!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjY73KLLUS
Beet: “Huh?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY4XGRwRcL
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OsjeClGXe
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuWikGPt3R
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2RF8zGnCL
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX3kg8iFFt
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIxwcciN3n
Beet: “Right!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQifRZKQZm
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDQs9iBihS
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAQmwMJPRq
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB1npJVitK
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p3dSZQIyd
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywn1uAMP79
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwM4r0Rqrf
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGthIgDifFo
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDJkUCCU1A
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcuADJXWsg
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TapSn8uGB
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSURnIttN2
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f8FbFr8My
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCm0k8ST9g
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiDNZ6n73J

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pidlfJGa6
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciP119CfMA
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8fxy495wH
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mDnzYeWGN
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURAQyYUsqN
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fu14uut71
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaLsaioM0O
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RXW4z5tA9
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v1osMF28A
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZgdcOOc9M
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmswTxbT6e
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OBmlEI6uq
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwgfRamAwp
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv73TuH85W
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6uofuRnoi
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTZZaroLQV
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbkuPeUWaS
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqU7NCChsZ
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH45mZx6VFw
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X3bwRPs0m
Bulma chuckled.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuIu23atV0
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA33cNnBpr
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGZQ3OOTOO
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKbqCM2guG
Beet: “Momm!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRNO8EQWjN
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphWSLYWGG3
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42XEgCDYgI
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22rJxPPT6k
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsA53D15XS
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Ia7MPLLW
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFnVhjCjCj
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiLgsEB8ql
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBdni5oTsA
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmC47R6yy
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ002LzcYKLI
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueh1pMff98
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadIEPolUDQ
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZ11lhZh2e
Kakarot: “Enough!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEFoIquBbE
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ksd2ASVJq
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd9oSUN2kD
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfw6drqIfk
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2SMr9yZkL
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DlXKgSLj4
Beet: “Sir!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMko4QJXl0
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaBh0Eu1wr
Bulma: “Beet!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu6fTo1XCW
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqXiNQwlaj
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z2OkWOl93
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiBguMgH8v
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ3TnCkLP2
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADDYg4Jh7c
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWDCmCcII3
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2M9IveZcxm
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeolTq5YeBE
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpm7wb7UlM
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvU6UWyFDSn
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JPQmrBO91
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyU9MwxHzF
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokp4ZqICMs
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshdYKBpA0L
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGlEULeYl6
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjaDjFPIxH
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9VhVZBUto
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnofcSaN39m
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBLQQ4miFn
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCw5OIVYw7
Raditz: “You have my word.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKfdBPAHyY
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJvJl9SREi
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxkWWZPYJY
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFz4mHlpwQ
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgC5iSRMkD
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnMX0en2XS
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXCUe2DWwB
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0ba1ZLy5a
Raditz chuckled.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05mLal38HR
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVosOFN5WeO
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwgPjULyXB
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdVyIh0krm
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ldhCPOzv
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQsmCS4ZIf
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI6BB5zGMw
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4DG53Huk9
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCGLomFfYu
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc8Lx6kFeD
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Eb8lOoZV
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1q0FWOJwE
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqVlvkvfXy
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBEwjahmrr
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLZp1NQnWW
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscQTmTprVM
Raditz took a deep breath.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9yjU04NoB
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVqBWgbgwY
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKekZrz0ffh
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb84Qn1sIW7
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcEjpLJa1p
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxtvX0ivJB
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6xqHmlRWz
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSlhfpQ2IX
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsPlwkeijx
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzYk5nWlbb
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4HJmXUiAv
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ai0QmKgj8
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm5Sj6KzcY
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0vxNkPkW3
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfkwzl4ZTn
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWDTQepjz6
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GU8Se9peH
Kakarot: “The prince?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1X2wIMfxg
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJcgbVP9f1
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA9usatYKK
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvMZotq34B
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEOCPqXZ9L
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXmCmYDwnC
Kakarot: “….”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXhG0TY5Un
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVsL6pGmpJ
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jG6StaxCj
Bulma hesitated to reply.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkIMotMyXp
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7LD8pd7Sg
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX3mm73hrT
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2q2jOIip2
Beet: “Sir!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2q0r3jKUUm
He came face to face with his father.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQwReaeapQ
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sIr9NbyYD
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhdNeKC8Tx
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXqbaxgNj8
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedusYxXOuq
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYYRNMB0yD
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQQSbirTQc
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXnmTp8R7e
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQV0QNQWAL
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnx3H5EuEt
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J8OjAa6vW
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjoQ2kHJqv
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTObSozZLl
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hg2qXjICT
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.’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡostI3Z3icp
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguk6prNsD1
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP08UgN0L2P
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZpDZMejfG
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nw1VE6Xpz
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbUMaeVxfL
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TVP7ndc4u
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd3dreUidT
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA3hODV04k
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWStHTI4nQ
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49tEkO33hB
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc8OpRq2Yd
The prince hesitated.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E9he9U8D1
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo8QtZ1DuR
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVpklVg27k
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszAZJLZra5
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFXBCN0luF
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlJcKo5RbN
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGrtid9UfT
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYE6M2bgat
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvaTumc0bX
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmnXsA4O2N
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3x3Wf8Mjs
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh07NsZcLnO
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOi7Uaafzvc
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeGucQ4kI4
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusiqNMqhpo
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKHm0kMGA4
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTFh2GMTrF
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs4G5f2dc0
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SEpo6p6oF
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKpIZZNMvC
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvQBWSAwts
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBc6l4ER41
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7stmGxB2d
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AsrgZeHrz
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PjXhBurCf
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYU39j0f14
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetlu9cwD2u
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVuOafoPKq
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0va8S2hEm
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInzWWNHD2c
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4digQ7vrth
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbIAojkAqJ
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI9jiToUy9
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fR1q0gy3l
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJPPKwr669
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4rGvMrvNZ
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8MwKm15oi
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWTPtzTNfp
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfDcFdjZUu
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfzAgoVQL2
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDKasJvT2H
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9LfRKrH4M
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9qqGFs5TC
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFr1ieK3tv
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iCll9cdXF
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiU6HH7SYm
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOnlKzBdP6
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8It4EOoWMm
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NwsxqzjzA
Kakarot: “What was that?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDswdf3cU4e
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgJvGE4mzZ
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeYiDPNz3P
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjixvbQRXhX
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uoIAQ9IKg
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDatBoKaSsE
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsj5zC5loc
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo43eWMwDpj
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzv2LKUwUj
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf2RazwQK6
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao9xO6Ug6V
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi82apbCtZM
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALlrpcHNKW
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFubk2X2lLU
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjfMF3n42C
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YXkXMb4T7
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYfcmGfDkB
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJRASKneXJ
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj62WuVfh3
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyRq0P5MP7
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl9CegQzvi
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteIGM70db4
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h7fj5m4u2
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgHiK30zKc
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAJVdCFEwZ
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GWqGSeJei
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29deeSZDYZ
“Your foot is on my tail!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqJXSQg9dB
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsxI8iaMFe
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjGJtLB5Fx
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7r7RpcLfAc
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4yMnpmMnO
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJgO2wyPf3
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu3N9Mz2aq
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAHgAXAApb
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3rnoxk01Z
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4ThRdA2Fy
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5IqBdARuz
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wj4qj5DHS
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzhIqir3Kp
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNWydgTB2E
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlyzGRGHVY
Kakarot smiled.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpTLi1whe9
Kakarot: “Understood!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcepWgG6TQ
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAMWd3Ghow
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJVQ1K0P8K
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8wNrGX3Sb
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG7zop3yLG
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ue2m6broQ
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4hyAMfoeg
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhAYqFUOiw
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGSbEViSsD
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcqNNryji6
Vegeta chuckled.

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm15iEf6daK
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0XFvH0fky
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFOUYxU3M1
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhPDqdmJRZ
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCiRbyNWHv
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW8tzzjYPy
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpVi9YOQCY
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvYEUDYmVo
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKNTwKNZAR
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.

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX061MAytzd
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPUbyfONmL
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04hWFWgTy6
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vTdHBQETM
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Fyorwi6gb
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzwOU0v62R
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkImshhEpnO
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO6TaMyTQU
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcsnM5mQhU
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKybs8Q7ROC
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvOFQs9fMt
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmyqrSF7Je
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB65EPfbVn
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFMGu6eyDq
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZijRzF6go
He took a peek at his injuries.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUxy8jZs4X
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhn92KpQ9gA
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk54H91twm
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA3q0bB8Pi
Kakarot: “I'm proud to be a saiyan!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN5y7llhMG

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56iCP67h6E
Kakarot: “Huh?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVlpeQ987U
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiDBPJc1LW
Raditz: “Why you!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAFMtpSTyG
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBhuuhZtqn
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQLA0Pzm7h

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A3Ix9VUOR
Raditz: ‘Right!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkQwm2s3NU

Kakarot: “R-Raditz, am I… gonna be okay?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7ieREu85C
Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGozSxCND2
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptfAvjN6Mj
“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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0UwllK60P
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBwIp8MtVi
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTVUg45Bfv
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp7plUfUf0
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSXuqf51oK
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6GuI9LZtb
Doctor: “I will sir.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWB9acqegGM
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq435jy62Zm
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTyTmWeZ3Q
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVsAJVEIyL
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfv9EOFo1F

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtTQGxpLPT
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEYlDjBlWN
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tYf9EiiN5
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7xL8iI1Wv
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvXBK2LkwC
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmtVpAzXxA
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPq0V69AZT
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkFRngQgcM
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb592yOCtAo
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhbynttGR2
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj2rIYGBGo
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbocz7PyQu
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEeA4PKBKM
Bulma: “I'm not convinced, we've achieved peace and yet you insist on bringing the fight back to us. When does the violence end?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fSp8QCPfP
Kakarot: “When we win.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLMXoZW5hC

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3hbRYfJVT

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDJNxvaL50

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqLLrFoLSe
Kakarot turned away to face the door.

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcTaPd8LEH

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRYAFg0Vjj
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4ZL3nPqan
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HwlaLfvWq
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkkgSPtRrN
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfPRduFNPn
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF3RYzUQeA
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EYYP412eb
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwcfsS7Wso

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XW3XpqjAp
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGjXNShhtj
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyIz6yQ7fj
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlmpNk00YG
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvTCiO1jpe
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIvK2gBE5y
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtJh7v1Wcv
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaxpxUrGwI
Raditz: “I will..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGzyg3kZTy
Raditz turned to his comrades.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E3zxoBZh3
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKL6xxHcBB
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SfL1VrhlR
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2HFvN6akR
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrNhoA0TNQ
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTHvvHBGlH
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPh1iMcAoG
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXhZ8gqmBy
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrAKR3TrKd
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUthQXocoK
Beet: “Okay!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIfGFwTsZV
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mi3VabqOO
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydyX4b8boy
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlEKvJUrlk
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh1O4TCuRp
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRfdePGLKf
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5nGyF9O5h
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJA6wAlsGy
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pP0ft3hm3
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uH9odg4xK
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyMKTw0pGD
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYsY7FBt6m
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi6qBnq8qE
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQLl5YoXCY
Beet: “O-Okay.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eeHC8vpTT
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDagB8jFvk5
Kakarot: “What happened?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeRN3kZNiM
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WO72WuK77
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrPhnsyTbp
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJexVR0Pp8
Kakarot: “Fine.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8bl3vSyi7
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKKWzTjkBA
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuU8AcRQIU
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mpT9Y11R5
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dE1PV9EWd
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3yxZwnBRg
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45JaozeysE
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtD8OuD8oX
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3nDlFgUAq
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqd2nUAxUyT
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiKw6QpT7r
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIIssixNes
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMc2qqdJGQ
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxh51o09a3
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvqFKUKlhv
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ezGnZ4hqn
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBJlcjOzkw
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gUck3Opha
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj2i9kQKqh
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBiKkoIhpX
Raditz: “Understood.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAegwtGiX6
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27Yu4xb65s
Raditz departed from the room.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOhg3u4FQi
“Haaaa”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAqp9XGImy
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK1jOghu0C
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ne5fWdAI
Kakarot: “Right.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wt7W3XFKa
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgOiHOSVez
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrjoUi6tEc
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSVaOG9JK7
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1ObMpE6ga
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQFKBpgRaD
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGJq8SSqVc
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoob4NrSSIh
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoklSUQLKSs
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqXJTSh2n9
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k59NbjmV1
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgBTBYUeIw
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoRb6YsxuI
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFlpCahrsa
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYX3CVX38Yt
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNNJQ7FTHK
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTm6zZVdCs
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWrweGD6iP
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkQvbsVEho
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW0L2K8Aw0
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvhyMQyrlu
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5DTOcR9zi
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p3CW99LJ7
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6WWxT0geI
Kakarot turned around.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWnemDUJvb
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsseAP0Z7V
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9rrluLaIG
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VIv1JLxMc
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCnT0LowBb
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSObWUtGAN2
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHUDSZHuXv
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPgtNvrbOo
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4oDgUL0Jf
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuP9r8D0lX
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnra7firmT
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9WwqTepjJ
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjfgZ7sQpl
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYgrSZ5IVZ
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi5tuBDQyN
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpTwI69KkM
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKstjflsZgx
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsupGGfTJe
Kakarot: “Right!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8TzASOrmP
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiqmuGh2G5
Kakarot: “Yes?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8zcq4ufgC
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxAkFEJMK5
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodCsMtGg3J
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYDaA9H9pL
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC3zUXoXLu
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJFRjYcK1G
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRJprxtUj9
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSYvrxCuTy
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCac3Bo9ppp
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHmAIKW3FC
Raditz turned to his brother.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax97Arvi1a
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6bkXcwC1P
Raditz: “Right..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfE4eApuHK
Raditz took off with his pod.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZVOin6X2r
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hBE3fed3q
“Let me take a look.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5kBfhWXdV
Beep! Beep! Beep!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDp3Wumkwfb
“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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaFPCFqExH
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSX8kjSnvT
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvsEYYcKCB
He bowed in respect.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe8DcWhkSR
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaKpUls59l
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyELJXQczem
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeTVkIuWeJ
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL2biaki42
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQdUPHh4Y9
Raditz: “As you wish.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbDVuebYqD
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumuQqQ0pxA
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu144BrAsLq
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36fc8QMFtg
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDG5YOYvpN
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7GccY1bGZ
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTXHesPFM4
Zarbon took his leave.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot4vg98xeE
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONkFnfQR0G
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY7wwDIcfW
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmdFMzfqAe
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66xmBsVnG4
Raditz chuckled.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfmL7RgdNI
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ8DNrXAn8
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODTW3e8Gqu
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN5Cob9ocW
Beep! Beep! Beep!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WinvIGdpn
Raditz: “He's here…”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHq6qKrQwlf
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9boYfzEaG
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdknod6HU6
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPKaq6wyav
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmCGSn65H1
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuJs0dXwVk
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9jactUFPq
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPASpsCLRu
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs1JKFxtVx
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqVdhvxOq2
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo93wuwnpk
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDL90YiXtn
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfSFGfB5FV
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjH0quM73M
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpylRogvwD
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy7vYhxoyd
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqD8Hk9atG
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm1gEr8KMu
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzGYllGpy5
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrBdXKCHP2
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBhlHLzIRY
Raditz: “Damn it!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxEQOR8D1M
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W2cuitq5l
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHuItlMhE1
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBmV9bykeJ
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGuWU0rpT4
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xMVJHCWuJ
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOcIX0gyao
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1XMO80LBd
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6LQx8VacZ
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM4mgepTEZ
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Fc7aWF3W
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXvZXENZ5g
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm8BgsTTxP
Beep! Beep! Beep!
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5qautSLwW
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2sVEBCGQk
Dodoria: “What is it?”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt1AVsOl13
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZguRlDFdJ
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvZBWGbIZA
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR46ZFp9EKe
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuqnt1Q1Kx
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTawRsbu8Uu
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvY2CRVJDd
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMMOcxM8Xc
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWuA9CFwXZ

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ62c2KmGcA
Dodoria: “Why you!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs8nIGKmtQ
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAFFLuX36U
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt3hSaTj6c
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoNHxCIRca
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZABin6G0N7
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBIh8X2sDP
Zarbon: “Die!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87sHvuZlY7

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2TxrL3aNa

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20KapNeU8c

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzFthBVUT4
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAi7vc2K8j
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpDjk5Pxgz
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJYB2qQfJu
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYof9suzQ5L
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckfxUS4TbQ
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxflnPR00q
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsICfJK97pH
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KXlkQL3RM
Vegeta: “Huh?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXjglaPWFD
Kakarot: “Nappa! What does he mean?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShcUsoxk53

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6y9DzvZnN
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlELRH2S56
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxtzscBTkV
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oQLANkS7p
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4HrfccknQ
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQwo2OX1aq
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQvlTqh9lG
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWgaR0RleE
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTs96W2HB4

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9E5PJ7nqk

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDmjBZnCsj
He yelled in pain, powerless to Zarbon's grip.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP6fnMEvTu
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQcmv8phxE
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTHrr2Ry4D
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKg8qi904Z
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGxSfFUc96
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa25jw3OoM3
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PQXK4hcTP
Zarbon continued to torture the saiyan. His grip only tightened as Raditz grew more powerless to his might.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Siajw13yS
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUdstW98Ig
Raditz had almost accepted his fate until he caught a glimpse of a blinding and powerful light in the sky.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1hyPHqlAS
Raditz: “It's still there! I just have to get a good look at it!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGTMZe3VLV
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAEZN0EMCs
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLFu7vTnyv
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB1SKQKnqk
Frieza: “What? There was another one!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKBkmiiDhR
Kakarot: “Way to go! Brother! Everyone! It's now or never! Give it your all!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStxBeSwXmL
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi4IVLP2Ef
Frieza: “Y-You-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5v8b0ws6W

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpfaaRRyjQ

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8AsyPlIfa
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkjUHcukS6
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkOwh1jjHk
Kakarot: “Not again!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5WRrA8Kd
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtF3mo2wEv
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WZGBWpGrB

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyrDF08X5p
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeNTotZNaU
Kakarot: “Look out!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5g9iZZ3Go
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXxsQf4zwb
Raditz: “Nappa!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH20x7fTyXJ

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDAasKrq7x
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLHCvUweuF
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kutcxIqg8
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxHsNmZFdG
Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fUHwoNMdt
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsv4AlxGcs
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR38x9FUIv
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4BBdL3VHd
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nBoNlr6LB
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG1pOUuL6B
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxIkgnlSgL

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoypVdtGAf
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPiYfgYkV9
Frieza: “You again!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVHzYEG4Jx
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwS6lyoE8O
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0ZYMx0gcI
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmEts3GLAL
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokJAIApthS
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4V8VyXtbLD
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnCKWFQvSY
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK8dzge7S9
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw5vcHxH4X
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7NGxqzLZz
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFIW0ADk5K
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucpGcrnA1w
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0uDuWShHh
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDi2IIoV78
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38qywtRD7h
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVtefhW0rT
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwptFzndCk
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLRC8DTvaQ
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TmbGzzIxQ
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscO6Y4GVHf
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7aOVKYXrd
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx7fJi9wDw
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvjaYB03ud
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VeDMAfAfy
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWE4tcIPPa
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0xzT8rEuB

Kakarot's body grew larger, his power spiked like nothing before. The pressure on Frieza increased.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIrTjhawPq
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPY4Rr6ZcA
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygTOGe373Q
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjz3GIuCVQ
“Haaaaaa!!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFP5iH1jZq
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rHV2bDNgC

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuviiNNOSlT
Vegeta: “This is bad! He still doesn't recognize us!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OSjg5alaj
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8LsDSYmoj
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsIBi6eS3K
Kakarot caught a hold of Raditz's ankle, slamming him into the ground. He grabbed the fallen warrior by the head.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYQrdkkzBk
Vegeta: “Raditz!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8GcyIMvLb
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFLKxCxyha
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn7zYHHxs2
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3BKObN3gC
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kCZDxrNg2
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gf1FCzlf7

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWtzELzSVr

166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4PmNeYtbC
Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh9ZPYjhSc
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmsUldt5bZ
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX0U1NieAN
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU4BDi5qEZ
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LOEqwvfLM
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2HV4eFUDg
Kakarot: “It's done…”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZheZ7zBRT
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP53xKNpas
Vegeta ascended into the air.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZMu3jJG9G
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVPNAyWUjm
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgNWTAVD0b
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloE68kRuNI
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hIwlkSdz1
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRelw4ZoSCC
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XupmDqMI4
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5zPtPkgOv
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tv62HnK13
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOFJDhBp9s
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEr1zqGjko
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizB9UaSr3D
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BzgtAiq6Z
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHiAxWnxTM
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxQJoM50rF
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa6INZ1QOq
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMeIv8upXB
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kH5niC3Qh
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWi7piW5Na
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnxz49Gf8m
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ783MOs9Ht0
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxxeiZiXi7
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUO86JWatP
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8FaJwJUVf
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnMCUCMDbC
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jKw2go89D
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDErSVyTKUp
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGSj7NS8Zi
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SMOutOesc
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSunncV9K1j
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeYoifUlqQ
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYNnDIUYKn
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR3CgAwj60
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x15HyyX3s
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpscApshrTE
He looked at his fist in shame.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg37j3BgWg2
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiV2RFd2MLk
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fxo4lj3yT
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyelqWPtRUv
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirBBA8lo4I
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4DEdeUKws
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9Syedqr68
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulwPMINI8f
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd4KFOzSpH
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbnpO1V6hy
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXGGDQcFtq
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubuB3XP5Bs
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc3EaZppwX
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5cYfsmZu0
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlVZKlzbgE
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..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy9gL44CaK
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5Me7jNSgE
Kakarot: “No…”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyrAB8A7mV
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhAbzXIThr
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRIuqcvoMJ
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpt523dTHU
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMNy0AlsOQ
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHf3XuwGzi
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2enPew0VS
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TGFVbF00e
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIbqT4eh0t
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY0aXJ6loE
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6xUPuA4IF
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLeIImPc1k
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhGATw2iH3
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgPEUhKXlL
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4shBKeJH7
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhGAWhit8p
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmlz3FyBZa
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MH6CedbwY
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMiTi5XK75
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhsO0JB7gT
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWjZ00eSK0
Raditz bowed down in respect.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oYL5Ilu6l
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LH9LimHZm
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQx59E9CMo
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifuK3TPJ7c
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHkb4J5Tiv
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMOnPYBLZX
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ145U3PwuqF
Raditz: “Right!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo620Mwj5g
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRreXRR3rS
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqfbv35lOG
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHYbFOraHh
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCQdrg2F2o
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RmpdquXJ1
Tears ran down his face.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU1En0k0MO
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?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65YKBENEWC
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdMApQDbBf
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja0Binj0kC
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPj2IwoNTf
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCxuz85rdd
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICZH8iRCFm
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZUNIkIJbF
Raditz smirked.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlIc5XOePX
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCrhYmxyE7
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pEuLmELsX
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pmy9RKIgI
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFgoDZaTSa
He pounded the ground.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jNNxRMTEp
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgS9tAChBq
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1oEZVJkFn
Kakarot: “To fight!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZHrWVJMww
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqtAkEPKQo
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuyHVF7xeQ
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbFoORq72Z
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHXKaHmni0
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh6EuLJwmb
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8odw3UdR9D
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKEPwMdvL0
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSunt1tT8F
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFIZTUgEq9
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.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3j8cjJGj6
Vegeta: “Wait!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hZgRoig4o
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.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIn6b0RaYl
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgtZkFBfvh
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVnTZHasjU
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2AJ94O06K
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUdlIjlGqb
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!”
166Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5ezVhXO2N
Shenron: “As you wish."
