Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPtsPnoTRy
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvNs6gwxrd
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvGY1c4EV3
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5l5liHJU1
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIP37Qp6o2
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx7gBL9wIa
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDe51aPZ8O
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR2FXUv460
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sJp4fxnKW
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ990gapUQKD
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoQt6wlfwF
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMUO3aZX2k
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskwKfcZP4k
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCtBDILRct
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwuOHMxkod
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TbnHU0X0P
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Pkw5e7hJ
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMVqXrhIzL
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.

“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Tesej2SE
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoIkoo0ltU
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKngPDdLkdI
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgCrMYq37D
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBcAf8OTMj
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzGzHASXQ2
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN1iZcV2pZ
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvyjOh8gos
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILKm7vThEo
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxbU5djtRZ
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOLaagNg2q
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe21TW5KuxT
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH5XJnjUPN
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEVUP7Kw5S
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadvYthzajo
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiRWr6W3c7
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j1ROkTPEW
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABr0FHxtOz
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcDpyjdCYZ
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0SkXPsr2n
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP4NamZLYh
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidix1Y20i7
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUAb7xOhuK
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByYh80F4sx
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH1L7IYyte
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJNRHud5qp
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OArtTTnL1
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXYOox38sj
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtNB87cVLF
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBOGVQNI2N
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KjGBFEC3w
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmezETB1tb
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cNZDHfZ76
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABySLaGRly
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoBUi04Siw
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5n8cerppA
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLZDbATHif
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFAKhK14X3
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkriS54sse
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP2QGyls5F
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNPATiMfji
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtKbVQN5lu
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbqcbx9Aw6
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWax0rWin6A
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NtfOyKNqv
Beet: “Haaa!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5mpMDOfhP
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAAWmNlaZf
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX5HvQoedm
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8EMScQ3u3
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZiAYI2Gdy
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIuFfemaJZ
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCafU3PhAt
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-”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8NJO2fzIe
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1J40apvwW
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxs9k3x5rzM
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7kuqFkNXL
Kakarot: “Enough”!
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYdWRf5YIp
Beet: “Huh?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdsMk41f7E
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdv3xE2OV8
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC1QQhVXcy
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWlJoXPNjt
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WDYiFXJK3
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBoVA5sclj
Beet: “Right!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzoS0AiK0O
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ7gedwRDp
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uZ4atEQ99
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvOO5uOKVY
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mQ5qVgKtc
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXYASnctkf
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1WOdYZDKD
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2L2mDQbco
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd4YVp9S8t
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BKAmzV1VG
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV0FluNGhk
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NT4f2XK89
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyAHnTqN34
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78RUKfDBjo
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”

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

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnEKWT3Ve2
“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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORvorGFVZ7
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwvP2M0pDH
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAKAheM4Nj
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XXTV81W8Y

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rLBhvrbXz

“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6vrj3I4dV

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDuCbuHCBD
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEw4ICqCzs
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.

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHlxDGzQu6
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevaGZRYB5y

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo51CmciXj
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDljWXr8GY
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6hZ98zELo
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOPMTREpob
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebMAtrjpvJ
Bulma chuckled.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS3cEa1OLV
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1apK2Lg3Lf
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFaa1WcMga

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNSr1vgtam

Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMYNai8uEz
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d5USCKmPN
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiedDhOXnh
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKvaidhUeD
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrwPlC3JzS
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNU4FKohkW
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6646yW8ow
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOgMHRQhg0
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3qP4xsKx2
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XtLzh2BBX
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDVDDyF0rA
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYjfZJa1Bc
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrBaoj6KXU
Kakarot: “Enough!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mXgNykxvs
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NM9GnpjVw
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzmcGTPN8F
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ4LG5ODVY
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv4bTA1KDJ
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbQY4LuWCx
Beet: “Sir!!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcQzleTSta
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCDyB9SDEB
Bulma: “Beet!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8jvOfN4F6
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0T4KvpMFR
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NGR8o9vj7
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNf9JYov91
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd50AY4pidN
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLGEr9vFB1
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqTQSsnDAM
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkQB7HSXiq
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOd6pZF5of
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvRTywvu9O
Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”

Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvqtK3Yg5P
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC2QTwsjQi
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFacg6Vpz5A
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E2BjfYaGs
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmk7CsYUBK
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeCPqHYmSd
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVcyBeYQVp
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Kqy9wKKh
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwkn2rwxXv
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SwC8mJeGZ
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGnaxRWaDt
Raditz: “You have my word.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAGIlg00g8
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKvFFDcs6P
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gDxjNVAut
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVMu1skL5M
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLqEYHXvfW
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTKQIUu85F
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBwLuKnKGb
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0evoUEA0G
Raditz chuckled.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvkS9whIVm
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBgD2amsZj
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIKblXFcSt
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhasxvAirH0
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoaYb4RQxh
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1RQilIaKG
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnEgTDxtDf
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDkcA2g0WQ
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4jjJJGuG3
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNDwa4FiRI
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3qgkFyOPd
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEE5LEYQBK
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXsliudQ6U
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXGu3Xb3l9
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Oe0JYqTGr
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj36U5xx3pN
Raditz took a deep breath.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYta4wvfUHT
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogNILCBsWt
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMR6YLa7nN
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXflPX8y8AO
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwJObbmikE
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQr6F0QupI
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHOv1Y2oXx
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdyjdbowCI
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44t1RHFrqb
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtUBqDTbHl
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplMQJcqhMj
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH4UGIY26j
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHA3oudlXM
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmCAzhlR6u
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdvUct9QbS
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVS2eYOTuA
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS15Q4iD43
Kakarot: “The prince?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhMBswSfSy
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0YIa9v33C
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5J2SH7eA0
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx4rsWNMc4
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0WlesLYHO
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVEEp2kYI1
Kakarot: “….”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyJ8bLvI20
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS2z6KqBXb
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5TDK3cgl4
Bulma hesitated to reply.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn22ZVeZrDz
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8de2idpoI7
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzhrTGBSqf
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi2uBLVxGX
Beet: “Sir!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU21ircXGe
He came face to face with his father.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnQfl0odiF
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc0KNvYjjL
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KFLyMsEh5
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9HlDIWsI5
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Ux0ou4wz
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2BUkaqaDS
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnqugzY3CD
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBj0dlRouE
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEohedtp5V
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtswb7xWJDn
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntFsWzHRHN
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOA30XwDWV
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEWTTnxu4E
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9shvWettl1
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.’
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI1uYQnb8F
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj18MBX5x31
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7oCarU5tT
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROe3cSfXNL
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN32FPPSPRZ
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuLrxAR05h
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDhuLLnsNw
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08U4as4OQE
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0crSf5Bnkc
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gGku86mae
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFnkC1P7RT
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAuDrN9Xsw
The prince hesitated.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMozC7fVVBu
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Mclp1Rwo
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBHIeEE4hn
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdyuTE3A5v
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5MlL4VQGn
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl78IvErOZ8
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiklmtmSMRu
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiLUX0Fkil
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrbZkVAOYm
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsozsIrXXWh
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleaUehyYeF
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9opc9V8wen
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtgAdqCBHr
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmWaT2F89D
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MvtpNgX3C
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjHyOGWFlu
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVABU9utWmv
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw7gvrOHVQ
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimPzZg8iXe
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb00muMYxuH
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxdGBxAoxJ
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRDKDcU8VE
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6goCPvo1z
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMmlNnt2Lq
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolqfP8nnrv
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUZMQUs6Ns
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqOiD7YEjy
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4w6nt2Cjc
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLwHwetPvX
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKdl2MMzjy
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JnKDsMO75
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKAeYVs8fE
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZGUSkjkJB
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83kaDVgQWg
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUti0zde8bx
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cNt9uKptB
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYne7mn87m
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DMfO3XL8L
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpzRHrNEVN
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWER42obLiV
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixRPMc9uvn
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8YZEFG2Lh
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKNUUyOHdy
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuw28bb1hg
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSJPglLeXB
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQJKrbVeBa
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGec3bMwWtT
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulYTFcuNxE
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGokEMEdvBV
Kakarot: “What was that?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKUgQAUvuc
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xO45m5GwP
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfxGSTUIHA
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoNgg1oF1p
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tMm2e6EPB
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpJEogHauX
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUynHy5jZTF
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSEEx1WqW8
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHCOOyGmyM
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23wJxQxKhF
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zxlEWb2Di
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspv1EJjifH
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4jG7S6tx9
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5jXnRNtSH
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4fiDYQbT8
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2qtgYOFwC
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7TKmfQNl8
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IWbJSmqln
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNQu1JbV3k
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynZkUJsuJa
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Ws3MUzcy
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.

Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSW9KMXup8
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi923DOGGMu
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQBC7Aobmj
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63KhqjLWSJ
“Your foot is on my tail!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW71AQec8u
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxWcnFbys2
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwcggConQO
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPUtLhZl5s
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkTzAXR3CX
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”

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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA486eyNTQ
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uPpmxBrTz
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpT9tUZVjb
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniNIOfbuVq
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET46rB26DD
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwm6eJ7xuc
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGbZqeyva6
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hXfLpB5Ck
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUf76gKQ59
Kakarot smiled.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKeRm9wUNm
Kakarot: “Understood!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW1J9c6tew
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqEUwdIXaG
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83Op5PCcv0
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lGSWt0W9z
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQCi78gRrF
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgZPuHKlHy
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelQtlrst2x
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg73jVJE5l
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbt6FvLbg3
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGX1s1kyGb
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lKLaaMKhX

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqHwVhim25
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbPgwgJ2ol
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2EPJ6wwzo
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.

The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfs1xguUvp
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm36DgTP0wM
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlCPS04KrK
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhrBaQnus3
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dohoXGkqH
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2DKawabSz
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoYjL4OkGV
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgULeH7uuA
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunWGjxyvJD

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEQ1c1dXYw
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdZH39EaOz
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNDdxpY3tt

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5M4yQOav7

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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXFzxElhbo
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.

Kakarot: “Huh?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5MxFruNbN
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0rGLNmMDH
Raditz: “Why you!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitP1FAb60X
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrDq7OGWQP
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJMSIOU3QQ

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC47XfMmcLg
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXtJ5L2hqP
“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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruCERbJS8G
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxNglIypnF
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nxq8CKOyR
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR29uYWroVo
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsuaJ3WUU1

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC8AJII9zi
Doctor: “I will sir.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1lQACzaMn
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwkQSgLluG
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqj5oxpL2y

Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejeMGautOP
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqlJe9MnSP
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz4foEYYRI
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nn6dWZ9Xp
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHSEZ6KGig
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mZ1WxRfBb
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoO9oGnfJu
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO4jthqdiK

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3dzAvEE5C

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgg5RQPVqM

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yD2AbRGKm

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ179gsoGYkl
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcbwOyNlHJ
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ6rXbsQXe

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzissaeDhm
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYwfX97tbk

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetHMwUuKid
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.

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj3cZvl8GW
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYP80CRYqy
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!”

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM54VtwYOHF
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYHkqNYIk5
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GGeIx1MDe
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuiyNjzxyK
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh4Yf9lXsx
Raditz: “I will..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO9F2Hd4fV
Raditz turned to his comrades.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh9uctIl8q
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8cT2CTfeh
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2hAjh79ZF
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVnjCgVCjm
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw59E0dRhx
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIj2hKXGl0
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSmdzUQqoc
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOq5mBipihv
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiPARGDHwr
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEFO9Jf9Ae
Beet: “Okay!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdqGYyxfA5
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uqJz33b3G
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrE4UjpFOh
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegORrhWeNS
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5DSf6sd9X
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK8RZZaqS4
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJsmr95zBC
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3RtyhffUN
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2dk0tvZ25
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOF6Wo7sqW
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbl6sTgXoG
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ucQ4j3cH0
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQnog87doA
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dlH6XTxp9
Beet: “O-Okay.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLlTS4Ozaq
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQDYApcHSU
Kakarot: “What happened?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex72NRKHLG
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35NFhBvHzA
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe0LiFOJmJ
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Xl83vbjCH
Kakarot: “Fine.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZilrK8sY3
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdfljxScl8
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNh6DmkrEY
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZTa6SoV60
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXV52s7CHy
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFn4hDsUnAi
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhVPVjih2d
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI4HhqoI7q
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFizOwBSdC
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbW4ZmrWsF
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGwrBBR830
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq46XmlziO
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Zjxe5Uooe
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8wfyxw9ux
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYu19oTNNF
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA85PahGHte
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9YQAUJSuP
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP68On1jrCF
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ86PAzA1QR
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhaMsXSKmv
Raditz: “Understood.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8N9NsSznw
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia5enmaZ7O
Raditz departed from the room.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0RcAmkqti
“Haaaa”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TIl6RCRWv
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t4ti8vM5U
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL74CcGPIks
Kakarot: “Right.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEujpmy0kJA
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ636zp4yFGq
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvzlCdF0n7
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkendsiZamE
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYKwNVIcgN
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXqiVo1i3Q
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPfl1S8OJl
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R3PD3eNY6
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxkm1VrzXh
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKXHgTGJOE
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fTbRWp3Zi
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtTpjDfxil
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60btyIMWDb
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYC8gZc9nY
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UrVRzyQSj
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21TgcoP2Ys
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRo1sZn4KR
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9q4KZq4I8V
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGBZsdgtpt
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A48uAiDwt
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZEHaGdRla
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kCbukTkcR
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bUsmfxYqs
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqPVbnnWUX
Kakarot turned around.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNZSYW2t95
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTutxHTlLx8
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWS6XWyL7w
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LNL0Wo7Z2
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJKmmvEL9f
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1PQAFBROi
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrQm17nDq0
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6Kgsfgpmr
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTWNJzbFpY
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYpl7wIrf0
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wI1V8zibv
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx78goVzVKu
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BBdDz5tMk
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFqXDB7e0G
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP8vLSdw7P
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3BolO6rkF
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5qyIGGzkb
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsD0QXWxzHM
Kakarot: “Right!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ9TKRgfAn
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQgv5Mapdh
Kakarot: “Yes?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1YH2WCOgC
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtqbhy6DR1
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkseFOMALWP
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOsapTTk8q
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNJUPCGx1h
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzaPHEFznk
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcALC9tW8l
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F1KXeORXP
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOQMwxEijU
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeHIzaZgIT
Raditz turned to his brother.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2lGKLwK7M
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPdVN62ZiD
Raditz: “Right..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gjFbjFM8M
Raditz took off with his pod.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR7XKxov9Y
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpa0fUwlmH
“Let me take a look.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkxgJ3lqKY
Beep! Beep! Beep!
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j6u3YJDBE
“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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXMIg9BQcf
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbfLOnXynm
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBRbjafNpG
He bowed in respect.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QyOFNNHR4
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrit9c3qOQQ
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJWzZ1JP4x
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N6iXCR45y
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4Utys3nOK
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeTFBaCqo9
Raditz: “As you wish.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ295Q30XzHY
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBylWSnCnZ
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlhROb05IQ
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoJPsJ2Jhj
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjjGhvOFn4
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmhZGYa5xC
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yl5IhRgZa
Zarbon took his leave.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VT0sWMydG
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezXR2066Is
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3GI3o4gGq
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0wasmw0bP
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3GIU8NyZO
Raditz chuckled.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD9b5Nyn5H
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkCwZiwa0I
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UNToozQvU
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3AVmnf5yl
Beep! Beep! Beep!
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaSrpzMcgN
Raditz: “He's here…”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i5P2HTdCS
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JbTnJMDuW
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaFvpADbGO
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJVpDbYire
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEr0VTGLir
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb5eHrDGk9
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5ereans0W
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGi7PhgDRt
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglGusuu9IP
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyPA1xDPHf
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKOyq6NrTj
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvkasUdNF8
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC0uYvWkF9
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5CpDHtLY8
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB3bdIUXDp
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2jk1R60q9
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQIh1eu3pE
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CIGs3N9no
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH2SxzXQRr
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcOfZq9Jgm
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6OBc8OCqy
Raditz: “Damn it!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV43I5XPcbh
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tFPXRxGEM
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlsZWlAMF9
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcTqKRBmQu
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVqrIVPn2H
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcip2SqnLs
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aCnf0ZAQ0
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNB78GfCZa
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua66CdR7PR
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8ekuTjV4r
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5TtF0XkaH
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNJPLo99Dw

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7GGuAlIR2
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTZTvWHt32
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAjMb4uDb2
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z8fBW8FnY
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlkC8Z7DSR
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijO5mJrxRn
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6f0YsrLMq
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQlTY3TvYv
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Nb8iijh1

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG4FXnNPbO
Dodoria: “Why you!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC0SS8FbkU
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewh1dc01M0
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88zLjZcckE
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyknige3wk
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyujMGMUJG
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvZq8yqkCR
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1Y8B2M4Ea
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodbtXIQOWj
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih2IqqUXSo
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtKm14xzbd
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp20lFvwVp
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESv9ktq2wW

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG5VPCnyVd
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGYCuOR7SM
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx40MbNBMyA
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ7D0uU9A9

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvihJIx3gTB
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLKm1tj11i
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUW3D1c2jT
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HKwF37qUn
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxImGuqsyQl

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.

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1M1FcOLzX

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3mw4oTt7j
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDNbhbyqba
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ryAna9E1Y

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHYKBvY9AS

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FZd5A3K6p
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEaMMet9G4

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD9DVXiORd
Kakarot: “Not again!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35DlaC8QCg
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43s48twvB8

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmO1XlCLI0
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4atWkPCX7
Kakarot: “Look out!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWmvE3L3p0
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.

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhDdLFZPUX
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9grkY1U88
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ6c1vJT6w
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfdyUfCcL4
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN5pKBWP3z

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCQ69kmLGb
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooxYfggBPx

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2sg9ZeppY
Frieza: “You again!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepKJfeKCiV
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8auNylZGq
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxJybj3O3X
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.

Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBAZL8mzz9

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8pLLDjvts
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqtZA6AYWn
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdZUOkGWu3
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZV5RNLk6B
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhUx8r5KGK
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w7DcjCFPy
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisZYtrsArd
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMJPiNhslR
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbwUyFVlrU
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8OvfsvkjG
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViUPJLOaf3
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUmPpEPMuN
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21MPCB2oMI
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrVEZ1xWzT
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvQegvWfrf
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mv8h4bdqX
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhqCZWPLkN
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltBB0YbV0n
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAhOxzrHhw
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAb17QSUe2
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbr1eLrBmS

Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIlEEETqsH
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kmEjeIJsU

467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRVHoSSyXZ
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lpIZLZXUK
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnnqoHXcvu

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe3OKmmMw5
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38PXm8VjMl
Kakarot: “It's done…”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf80CoztCB
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxnknDNdiN
Vegeta ascended into the air.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHznFzt7898
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoQ1BeaTHp
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxXcVT30qs
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMm5UUHMxL
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmii4qYstq
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ652W9WBxoR
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjtN7zUHvB
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tx9R2zcTL
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bTyMAr4GR
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgk1WiJdMg
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxDl6RvtKd
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BZMJCzlBb
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v2wHaXI8Z
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWweGgqoJR
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQRuwoFg9I
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHTRxwPI71
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQM9kB46NX
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfmqRdGhI1
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KCG7miBAn
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMkuD4G3uz
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTcfM90Glx
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWLxSTNYGl
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48QZ0SNhwy
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD9a4We7oZ
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp5HBI3dur
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHCQIz5qLZ
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYegeotHEJ
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn5DJWIWs6
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFhH4HqyoX
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySycMYwbky
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiovI6cIUF
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTdxgyHjkS
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH27ZpF3VL
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sAwxVYTmf
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT4yi9SCod
He looked at his fist in shame.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8luJz6DhD
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSFzOuh1t1
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3O8J19Gbl
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK8G7wD1SI
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtce6K5sQX
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxK6XCPTeG
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUkpKhETAl
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1HugfMw5g
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdf7H6V9EI
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRFIiwo9dS
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFYHgPrP8t
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOOyLYHwW3
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwMM0J15fV
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHdTBdNffU
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4asS9P0H0w
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..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7rPGE0Jr6
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEGuOcZpvN
Kakarot: “No…”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdnaQlNZs0
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtb7ne0w8f
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoQ49mDtuv
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeFR29IutI
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7xNHsIbmT
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKlee9Od84
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE0DibgKxL
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpFWDsOsVn
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGieUaS6Q1
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonJpm6oBXZ
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9osuEv3Dzq
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXO4m0M1uu
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVefU8o5n7l
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5rVHV2vSl
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdWdsHipRy
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qpml6H20X
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvWbH7tvvl
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRwq5AAFtp
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYnz45TWb1
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TF1XTflk2
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXfD4crs9R
Raditz bowed down in respect.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IbJltOC5p
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoIQp1Ab80
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItlROipUaZ
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiLE7M6YAX
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMaWZ1Ss50
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz1xqYcXAH
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WYLpPKGwQ
Raditz: “Right!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYCDCvg3t2
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSCGdcfe4L
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMWLFWs7Fv
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovM5r9JmnZ
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduapVBDPYx
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV16faNKdz
Tears ran down his face.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNHIUoUa8o
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?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHjXDrYZO4
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvczIEfaBvU
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HoQypZOhj
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp6r2CeS8p
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBVAErO2x6
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yW0ZmYcJ9
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPItOkdpQB
Raditz smirked.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrA5NkJZo5
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPbOuDNBU5
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolTS7hF33M
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8u6qDBYFl
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7IdGGNbGz
He pounded the ground.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlUzoHEPtJ
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD7oFJquWa
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErVY2jhCEn
Kakarot: “To fight!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pugexBy7a
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4l2HiQX9V
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdRJiH0pCg
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PAGDOvoRO
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPk4f1pcOl
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUwfZewKEW
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSy52eYfmH
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidV6csXeu5
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoZBDzxQLX
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrQukHaqIi
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.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPODWApiov
Vegeta: “Wait!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtpo6AT4U4
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.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDEDGbqZxJ
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ7TnGZMi5
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLMmJBKPJ7
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlWuInB1MV
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpBWrg0MVT
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!”
467Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJHkLhD65s
Shenron: “As you wish."
