Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyR1kdyLrT
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVclBnDNaYm
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB5XEaEs4k
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMSlzF2YtS
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfHRwNckeD
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYBYJPzhJq
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua2O5LVPmB
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhi5PYKN2T
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4B0fviapq
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ0a8tTQHT
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj32iHYhiV
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOR48BcSJn
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5r7GwmXyP
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVAmBuOAQa
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5v78mHU8z
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVknTAqafh
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFBGrIZ5wM
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEmBeyLSh5
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX6JGBo4yt
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS885MhbWR
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGLQPjiLhV
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzuk2jmL1Q
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsqbu64XxT
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wwvu19npT
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD59RFvFvS
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XPfoU5bx1
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzGk02joHX
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuySkianoYm
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnLP6TqcG9
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uAt8pEEFl
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9xx8SFn4k
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyjh2NR8as
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mRxcD72zK
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aXs4a1028
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIEhJW3ppy
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwljCx1sVi
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUythMcXlA8
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HTJPov56r
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBu3EwZ9wB
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOaBktzCdm
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jp6Reu9Nz
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FB3eGD90H
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBEcuyTUC2
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpQS4cyqwt
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNYT93Okbt
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESpPvY1CqP
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKHSDTx4hS
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZOcna0ZL7
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj8fhMGimA
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjNGFyHJir
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX565UuIVd
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y7F5JaSKL
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2yJHRHGg2
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq9qHzs9Ly
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX30CJq9lgv
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtbhHBeuk0
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFQjFDgm8k
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeebyyeZ4Ip
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CZL1E33f3
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET26Y1NzC4
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYE2xVQ9VN
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qqXEcwCI9
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFkTxKlIcT
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72zJIzFEw9
Beet: “Haaa!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVglrhMZefp
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWuL3J2EAB
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAUjwshVPR
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKOqP0cosx
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRL71PTwIy
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl3AhX3m9X
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmwxWHRohi
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-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZOS1mz0D4
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ8KS6Jkr4
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SMOtEEmwX
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8zyVWIvZx
Kakarot: “Enough”!
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeatNJ2y34X
Beet: “Huh?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO38EKBS9W5
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtNvLpONyo
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjXyQYs8Xg
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ0cVkLx4K
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4w1O1sH8B
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ5FbcS6bQ
Beet: “Right!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInBYzOYeAG
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLVrmGIgIQ
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ8BbJJAUH
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIZ5mLRrIm
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNAkAVTpSS
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7jIvPGfGE
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7oW6H9ZO8
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32WAFVGiyb
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT5gGPfNoK
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bfCky1B0y
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuztNNVosp
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2BwfgdACj
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zyfeagEnO
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhVvqTr0uj
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyez1cqm0TG

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kw6DBzHGU
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizPvVqEMuy
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gqvB6PVP2
“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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN8ov2c2XK
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CpyHDjd8Y
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm9CpNGdcv
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie87mP3xPT
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTBSzjP0jc
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGLczwwNpF
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIomZIYM7dF
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDN8UKx0or
King Tuffle: “I have withdrawn my forces as you requested. We'll form an alliance like you desired and lend a hand in your fight. As long as you keep your side of the deal and let us be after it's all done.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nuMelO501
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1O9fWbVtZ
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVEi38GBUX
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pxwVraD5B
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2EiNVvEwt
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzsf30Ypa8
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNhEW1BThw
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCSsog53pg
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWWMuTW4KL
Bulma chuckled.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnV7WNchm0
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF9JVuB9a5
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAViL1ZJF37
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3zjI4rv3x
Beet: “Momm!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKr0WKmTEb
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU3ILnSeTM
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfK9y3Ww7n
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2BHXgOc7w
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL66aHNdFxb
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zz1hfcmEE
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAlYebXvuA
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rAeazAbfc
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlRe7V6igl
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qtbti5thf
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytTioym9tU
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwk2f4Mk4n
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRxvZC0PfW
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeilp3bRFU
Kakarot: “Enough!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAqrRdK5Op
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDD3cINE1q3
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRoaorqBYg
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qbv4Rb1ds
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm4I35MezU
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBpgAZfXWf
Beet: “Sir!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu3YSbtIXu
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJSGMo7ZxZ
Bulma: “Beet!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGYpm4LKHu
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77vxlt9cib
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejXgJ5krpt
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DJJy9zg66
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxEFzjtTkr
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEHUXLN2Q9
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhaymCnusw
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOQn3NxrJ0
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQLUBctKjD
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHBOf1VOmg
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHfmmINsJ3
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzBZN1WnDp
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJArqrB84xV
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpSiGcq5dS
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CPwfGwGg1
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QWbF2ZnuX
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw93XnFSasC
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmTjwcx5gI
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpeE2iYOhK
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEhzZ2IddR
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtnfA7lYC9
Raditz: “You have my word.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvyQKyhIOb
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0wXnsDy7H
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqe21ekKIg
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EM4CYtAoS
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikbJFmJYlq
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiL7WVaVEf
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ngaLGGlGI
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkV6NSfqQa
Raditz chuckled.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnvLlxRopC
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDrlzf0cm7
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtqhqpCBze
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4oOe5der0
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ0kybKs4Q
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWOgFGSryK
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRq2QdJ0lU
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO6IcWO7kv
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsI2YMUc6K
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgpCLs9f4j
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6oWqKlzzc
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0iYmNS9aE
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRYPJBVrLl
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVszfNjco81
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwJZQM9c2M
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhMwPCDyJL
Raditz took a deep breath.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqanFNqZdA
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR1bhJ3iQf
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJPm3LbG8x
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtVQlkBzIB
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpOgANaSrS
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8TZl8uqLw
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprV8JqYCe9
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MvY2SvKvD
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsT7lrPxl6B
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnLxeGc0Ih
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gtlv7zgjK
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQGkma1j2N
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWmdKvPqdk
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM90Blbrrz
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQl3LzGxEf
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uqswhi8UX
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNFcEi9I8X
Kakarot: “The prince?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxKs2npShB
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BdAruG2bc
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIdKWIyM2x
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9b00WnRwi
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonhdjKQuXL
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsLhhbQa8d
Kakarot: “….”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmuBrVgTti
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv9TeQosnb
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0jI6Gvh0N
Bulma hesitated to reply.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvXi5skrYa
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbgfNBZ5fh
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIlA3Ehm7L
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM7SmHtcqa
Beet: “Sir!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uetKex2JZ
He came face to face with his father.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCbyNirHjC
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcttn9HauLA
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuEqiK2YLg
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1U4RbrEVR
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88iKZEszJT
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHmRTltRZR
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFulYAbtPc
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT55AXXWrZ0
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtOIKdzrdB
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnVuoSVVGA
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lBEOXJxa8
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF72Z1A3fOn
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r3q15fWqK
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlO2XYcHyR
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.’
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIuUSFVQnL
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnzp9Zp3Ye
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBxsY6zGKG
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy8klefAVz
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkyuDkMpLm
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJwkOOLZxh
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlCHfLS7TB
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW5IaDLSyl
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxc6tQI0D6
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgCbv7lWIX
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOrBodVnFZ
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREp5VI2hrO
The prince hesitated.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYskZ1zu4ES
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z5orog9pY
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDk3gjLzdO
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZjGy85PNQ
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oB17kfpRF
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2yvJELsxK
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxZzzfUcCS
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYodeFoJT4N
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzap718MP7b
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbexne3eJOf
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq75GSXGGk
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhWyzZNWAj
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHGUPDEzMa
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TI1nTspIA
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K5r9K5SpD
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HGc8jkGgx
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FA4RvdWds
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeHsKNfv5s
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5epYIq6S7S
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatREruRtim
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDQQnf8wTw
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbKLFVsjpb
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHw7F1OLuLA
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhQPlWs4yP
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVhEkHg8pa
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wsD10Fwvv
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6Q8beCmFc
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQWrroO0lq
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zkyVzNLyQ
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIHcsfVJNZ
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzTtUbrfwM
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRfJzycgQ5
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO9RgSRgyv
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nqRDTZiqG
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQanH8mws7O
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswdt0vs55G
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTeDOivUEH
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOPhN4Emod
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbEQvHL7J9
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G9NDFp847
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTXEbThrVq
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCLcgiNhKN
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrePL4nwdz
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1YqwSWBqB
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDK13mRwRJY
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5NLEAzX5R
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhA4fbT2kS
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Vxts04oQF
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKK3NMFoY3
Kakarot: “What was that?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndglSM1skB
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v9rPis28W
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbZQgWonr8
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl2PbgmSUt
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q311ZAPI1
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZwIeFSCVU
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPzbjTIbTF
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC0AlHHqte
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPf5ctpXQL
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw3AUqDSO3
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDEzeCwBTi
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR46ZtTFuQm
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD7UovQg5X
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8Y8w6cPqq
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IFKareb8H
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP88EOD8Db
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcroyV8Xusk
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqN6Y1BMII
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1utBr3FeL
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVYnKByyue
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm0ld158Rg
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEHLksR6wm
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Qoo83Ejx
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAqvtepKly
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc0gBQUBNe
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVMn5zrUVb
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYea6RoMOun
“Your foot is on my tail!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VNoHMtOfG
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqLqGi3z9j
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp7n0XtYrj
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqLyjlaLb0
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrDHlCGlHd
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOscLT3ArHx
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7dtkiRf0B
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGaMrElcNR
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDmhkWcsfY
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91OHCYqxnM
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX8eC8cSh6
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSqxOfg2KF
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d8pzHIGC0
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iHRKPl3Bo
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvpnB318V5
Kakarot smiled.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1fvPC2nHd
Kakarot: “Understood!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0346wRDJL
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhILabzVZ4U
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKey63YzpGb
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0NId75Nu0
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76micxVHVQ
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbiPKpOSl6
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Sn17myN0
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjdRsqPzme
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizNdBWncZ2
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieXavmZ5dA

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx8EFZrX7P
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Luiz5DMDr
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO3jhZsjJi
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmyguUC9nT
Raditz: “Hey, his power level is higher than we anticipated! Kakarot is outmatched!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8EcBpJ2e6
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZIUaOiogU
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hK15VGXRw
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NQ3JaPqRD
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLO3J6roCm
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.

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pv2zQtydO
Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV5cv9EZZ5
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrlCQMWY5v
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppxr2O1GPe
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXJGzQqBgX
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS4FbB0Key
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPZ6smSGDE
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R5KxHlaLQ
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoNd1ldrwE
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN7MHpxtfw
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqioCsGYTuf
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54paGZU6Zu
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr372cgNdh
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRHH5MRYCa
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihsApRqJCI

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQfnnpD6SY
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE1Q0as5co
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSiN0rbGfk

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZY6Zej5gw

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4yfQT0AP3
Kakarot: “Huh?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJEb9qFd7w
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErdnNKoD7y
Raditz: “Why you!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgayCFvfrMh
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAejiYx6dc
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5WaLrqDEL

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ506NjBHkBs
Raditz: ‘Right!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZeHYT3z4E

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

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RClN5khSO
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiPP656U2w
“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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf2hz0WQJN
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZgXSOthZ1
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlqP8ZHCvs
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVytHjHMtN5
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z4dZUEkTq
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLC7u8WMQxC
Doctor: “I will sir.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5M1BksMap
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWSLJ0cVb2
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBMISE46HG
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4qZHsY9ij
Raditz: “You let your guard down and that creature used the chance to leave a nasty mark on you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGbG9ZR7d5

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDIXLgNwx7
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R6dE7tWsb
Kakarot: “Well, there's no point in breaking our heads over it. Shouldn't this be great? Soon I'll get to join your ranks, we'll fight together as equals!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq8KOZZ6sF
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1TkrwNeYx
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDah0reszrc
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdALXdCCBg
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPjnBWNrj8
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasmAPI9JoX
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4o4u16Wzf
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmiyFDPsqK
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhKn8sCtvi
Raditz: “Of course not! Saiyans are born for so much more than that, we only mate to breed more warriors. I couldn't care less what happens after that.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXTQrXGNRG
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1AeQM4hy8

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GKodBcOTv

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWleDSikAQ8

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5kIOvlwLp

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLYPjUx0mC
Kakarot turned away to face the door.

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB87Afhw1q4

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkssfYpHHpi
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPFxb4pkcH
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5FFvKF2XG
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9R2xIukgM
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmgeudrKk1
Kakarot: “They'll be fine. Humans tend to fear what they don't understand. Our family won't cause any harm, they're here to help this torn planet. You'll understand when you're older.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkyPHHeMry
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc5mIKxPwY
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyegil59rm4

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKouBlibgne
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK57ipOelhD
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc19DbbuR07
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ORczFDOS
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ErT76NSro
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTysq0X0YWq
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMFqlSUN9V
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS88QUyzAri
Raditz: “I will..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhq0c3WPYl
Raditz turned to his comrades.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsFAEWpnWe
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisdKdWQh5u
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Af4Afw1oJ
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvxkYOQkj9
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7RQZ8Dkua
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFOV4eUrH3
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieNWGVoEDC
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71cavMpVOM
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLjR4FhqOA
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RFKKb5pH2
Beet: “Okay!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2yEGqZyx0
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY77J5p19r
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9R8dc28xx
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK24ZZ5dSFE
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTUh6IervE
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQH1YrP6AF
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbhZhqPakz
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFQRtvOr6H
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs35g0fZyy
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlh9ZFJlw4
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kqTSL7tz2
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMli155uXJA
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnjiAsBPsD
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv5OwLBHXF
Beet: “O-Okay.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXepPeiXat
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4TeBrn46v
Kakarot: “What happened?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML0EOnbTRK
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk8l8OSgjQ
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNzXcfb10n
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oh2C6ldHo
Kakarot: “Fine.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx4YKxxGL1
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uvVgtGQ0m
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mq0jDyunI
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv5QenA1xW
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JawfHnAQO
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdYkhgPUrw
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNG5MbzuMA
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKQ4bhVpUF
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoe3uYwgyS
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9qRLGO3qn
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGZcGZ7H1F
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3qhOccxrU
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTyFwiXy39
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvmSGplL5K
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX66vTWufKx
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9EgS0HycP
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWGbW9c68J
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX3N4nLrVn
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUhx17mQ65
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZLq7dZVjt
Raditz: “Understood.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJNYHJdP4L
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpAmZ7m4ht
Raditz departed from the room.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEdbtvhdaM
“Haaaa”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPESFtdlSIw
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc32SgR8fwI
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mokJKSYIM
Kakarot: “Right.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOCHtG54uP
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP27qaJX5li
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9iMbkNtZo
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyyE347YAp
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKTYi7WoTR
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj32lQBgcHU
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwFhW2shKz
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2pMsuOzjl
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc3wJ9mxGo
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB5zzDLdOl
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5yknxJEGZ
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlG8JVtQbW
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG5d2gYvWl
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgbMZnlNT0
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXl1QgKtm0
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eSwncAg3c
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSocOkOLOd
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyJAMqRQDm
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFs1gQiAq8
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFWqZhAXbz
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSOrsURwBa
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ657M4oKUhq
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHjndYwrUi
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA7CwzM9E5
Kakarot turned around.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeL8hAFXOQ
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHqAkKZXWj
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH2hpsEMEN
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxJC3QGIUe
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnsxLmZGzS
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx3yXGCrS3
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjwYSsihIW
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh4jiJno7C
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRe2SYUilH
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAE7xQOJsr
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkijZrBGuP9
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHI8qhIreY
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPYo6A4fgn
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqVaUN6jlE
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Swngw9lnc
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqK2Jidafw
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliNGnks1rN
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKypHUONiat
Kakarot: “Right!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9geC4GsEq3
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE7Ug1B1TD
Kakarot: “Yes?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzedxRbXFoi
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx8s4ftLke
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TAzd1zdt2
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YbuyVz2t6
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl8fY3GPiz
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc8GUfpWic
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpj3yf9jvY
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sWDR0r6ZN
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLC9itP9kU
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWF627pX60
Raditz turned to his brother.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUOPRlUFkZ
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdOE1LG2b6
Raditz: “Right..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzN4YbAzqV
Raditz took off with his pod.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZdxfFR60X
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovVyzFulWh
“Let me take a look.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkAhtvvQ87
Beep! Beep! Beep!
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GqrGkYbAj
“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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN9xnr3pHr
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzNWRvAoZ1
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1gbvtJJKW
He bowed in respect.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcb9PD3wxu0
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn9lW1PHna
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGLs3HyHNM
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RVWYU5L8c
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKkmTfTmeh
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0AgNtF2eu
Raditz: “As you wish.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAmzCDDijb
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxfRjizC0C
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVdtxurDVL
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6KH5E1MNZ
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07s2rmqw5X
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ996sUpDzmo
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflRqPRqOBt
Zarbon took his leave.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLapkTizF5s
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2bskaXWK9
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfRHZwlqB4
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoZvD41xJ7
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb3pWeZlKo
Raditz chuckled.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4YlMMGxgq
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUJbmaGOL4
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU9mWcBctY
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPgTGekvjk
Beep! Beep! Beep!
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFYISxnSyU
Raditz: “He's here…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhacw8ugd0
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehgLAXmtCl
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz5C88ZlFD
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbgMEFrBuJ
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReY8P0KT0r
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaqcelReO6
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p4oSPUGGu
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSronDM76DG
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcmTGc9NcN
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFrTBFc1ia
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfrol97lwJ
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32UeNLsf2P
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAIuWkuXkR
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6gg6SULpB
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmW6KPI5cn
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vZy09IDc6
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDC5GRavXG
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tbPBK5QD7
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0BBZ1QOvO
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa2pCTb2FC
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL3h22z3Tl
Raditz: “Damn it!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUV2ZCl8el
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASkQwPT8Dv
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKxpGQIuur
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMfUa5Px98
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp03IZ9cHGw
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2QHYDEaHF
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKsdNrcW2n
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AFVFyFaf2
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfHKJ0I5iM
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs17mzUm7K
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ayxRrlGgE
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMSnzDI4BI
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkdDh57dW7
Beep! Beep! Beep!
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFfefKhVAr
Zarbon: “N-No way!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXwrAXbPSG

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyVi9OqbIu
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TKvEeOWcf
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlB8bOV6Ji
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVKgRCmQGY
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLrOFgG9cX
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGQorpUHtM
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0EQGNNURr
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPvtCWkXtI
They charged at him, slamming him into a hill.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDVPmuGthz

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf7jZ2CrtI
Dodoria: “Why you!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04QhdflRin
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TYtehFmYp
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9VpxEIjab
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdV6BOIoqM
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ICEL3jQWb
The loyal soldier clenched his fists, his body enlarged itself, revealing a hideous and monstrous look. His power level skyrocketed.

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X2aPDdQJ6

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVHnCJFScM

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78lMNOnpgS
Vegeta: “Alright, scum. It's about time we settle the score!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFdOX3FEE6
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e8CxE7tHh
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JKeLJXZgz
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghl9J0zH8v
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPL3pBTuEe
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNJcBIxM7d
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJUhEJptQd
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEpWvMEIu6
Vegeta: “Huh?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cWBXXgybp

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUZRJBhNwp
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ohl4MdO0Y
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6KFSGJCs1
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMkIjpFZWm
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8arA9VbBz1
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrfFnkJyRW
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGmntBcrTs
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FAz1u3a2F
Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ7PuAA8G5

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWV9wlRLaT
Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DqkIh3qjY
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM84GWNhu4E
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDohiCI0z3
Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmMMUW0ICC
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSiXkWUwAu
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukfJzMDCo2
Zarbon: “All those dirty tricks can't save you now!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ8brghCoz

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd0MeqcQzz
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZE6uxgMMe
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29xfESqIrD
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6IKxjUQig

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK8djlaMdK

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmouE6rAVC
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMskSSthaJz
Frieza: “Y-You-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIAuVnGcZo

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DC86UP6Z3
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2l0HcGrUZ
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFEQ5PhPeN
Kakarot: “Not again!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh2QYmeBkD
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhfI0OoH96
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ6Tau8RZD

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmIQoNJjB1
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3JeloNjqt
Kakarot: “Look out!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XcRwAfv2w
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE2trShRHb

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pCnvTeWEE
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPCrVioide

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0teaDaMheG
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxp3UvExi1S
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SCod0FkJ9
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubQnVGCZwZ
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErPIPfidPb
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyKXOa3Ihu
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JsZazbPrL
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0rhOr32Rk

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2vsFeAW4V
Frieza: “You again!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXodxmDIVVd
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V2QVO81VS
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi5EG7Tln9
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt6hncphWW
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG46qMj1qn7
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WPnNqjKjq
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhvrLN6WPH
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaKVhllCs3
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqe0hPEoVQ
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIcWgut3Ty
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0vShnysS1
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwXKhEtSPs
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ869rwJ3acG
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdrmwGuzmC
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMks2o8ypjo
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgi0xsOWyW
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd22rLlynUZ
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdo1PhwSQK
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFTihfvkKo
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WVKQVYpst
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv3DsDxhZZ
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aJdLqo5VG
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MSJ9kq2iZ
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5lTmrxcA9
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSgBRmMT8H
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPf1FIPXr09
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyTL65O4cd
“Haaaaaa!!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa5ptGxk3D
The trio used the distraction to find an opening in Frieza's attack, piercing through it and hitting the tyrant head on with their combined power. The destructive force of their beam sent Frieza crashing down.

Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2A5tDZUdS
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVwnXh4PQC

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO0gz3lxXy
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoAU8V7uA8
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgAnmhiTpW

153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpykotjJh9
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EHx4tj9r1
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklXVteObB9

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpiR3A4xPj
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppJGf5U0DQ
Kakarot: “It's done…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9o5ZMdlo7p
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjLLVRVcki
Vegeta ascended into the air.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDtL5meu4c
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FPZ2MY1et
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoBmzEg1r7
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo3UaXphCT
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq3Nz8Xm5u
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7XRyxCUxZ
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkjPF7oDOE
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKyiotS6yp
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ7D3Njqql
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodo8PzJ1zK
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTfAyaV7Zz
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlMXYas1Sw
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi9bj4Hs9j
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUQjtJBKnn
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sogHvJSsA
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qUCFNJdwN
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH9L7Z0g4Z
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ333V3gf0gu
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKq0zt6p0L
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfreNTT6Vnj
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ov0bBuZ4i
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhIHM8m6nu
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ910TrLvFjw
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1aWuBNVyp
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwwabvqjF2
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMWsKuMNmA
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsmuwi6oWz
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFiwRbKGdH
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN5yTpdKTA
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiyv4JHllY
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye2dOdHNuu
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViPKcpMacv
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69zKhwPzV3
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWD6h0ZPM9
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTt58MxMuf
He looked at his fist in shame.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru1E6KaLwM
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO73ryOxad
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF21xEcpzt
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqWpSVxkkU
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdcnK12VTl
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l0D2PzVtp
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmZeQysaez
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Gr7offcL
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8VUz9DEN0
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42oWLveJ1F
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd7O155O7R
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeOkOxW6t2
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAlyr1NFsv
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZmEgltSya
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZOFUWGxLq
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..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82kAWjhnWZ
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qwR9eevcm
Kakarot: “No…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHYkoAJFnT
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIIsxYCUMU
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88Jd9qPbGH
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WpX4Zcz1V
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYfvzUiQcZ
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumOIGMK92O
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzeD6QyUtF
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKytQdqNpvc
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UWuMCdyUL
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Bi3pFIi0
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0iLDkiIfO
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifqEEQxMuY
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3UMpzxhkU
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLDX7iuQol
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1zvIlN51f
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ19ZWGHYp
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMuPzQifSf
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFa2DTM3bm
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiUwWaTXqY
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaksRKyS8gG
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT53erdqkP
Raditz bowed down in respect.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59orsjSrRy
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim7NxVVOJP
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc16LF3VdV3
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJh9fPufK4x
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxyLfls25i
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMzTHrEX1A
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBWabRGaKu
Raditz: “Right!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrycCeFcn91
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHH6EoaKPs
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHi4w1kaZO
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWR54uQ48H
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmUzHA9ftW
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnzhRlEB73
Tears ran down his face.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7a2Xn4dIJ
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?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkxc4emkdA
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k0RKWkKzf
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnf1g8n9zwX
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPkbg2BZKn
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4InUz4Mr1
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgU3baPVEO
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaOmF2MFbj
Raditz smirked.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4dvdVCuLD
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xIXN9WQ7Q
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jph6i1Igd
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWga7jtXM5q
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeU5tsMjcx
He pounded the ground.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk1dqTkexC
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHubCy0jmzY
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChWWm6PDJh
Kakarot: “To fight!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgsQueojgQ
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7ckoWud1Y
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy92R23NID
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNen4iSFFfu
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBukMGi2c5
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA17gKYHHGZ
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX6ICpvCPI
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsneDHeii5r
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj6Nh2eH6N
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!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87hs1wU3mG
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.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxryxZhLvY
Vegeta: “Wait!”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D1igQ6nkQ
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.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9lqHXmsiW
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgfzd2IpHY
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
153Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F1jr3A9BW
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”

Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.

Shenron: “As you wish."
