Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsP60SedomV
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT6cXtEBJD
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cZd9pXQ0F
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOChhQbbVKQ
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobwedQBodT
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dw2gJH0hE
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXHN84u9dS
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAekoBNHc3f
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmt3yXhI4i
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTrc1fqMZp
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOYrK2AAwa
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmSY2pfOAK
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnITf8orXW
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffu8xnDs21
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvTBZIHpI9
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1gJMBToVW
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK82c6qKSmR
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtVx1IYbsP
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKKCzAL6Ly
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxqh6Lze03
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mrMScvQ7t
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n1gpLhxYh
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaBT56KE2t
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbTcUiRxxP
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM4QR9zqZy
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsE1GwhDVK
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhio2KfAsU
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFROYWOOru
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdmk7TLfOC
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr2Mja0vmc
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPidUrJlIFr
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJFRsm97rh
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Y734hrbP
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocxpygZoAG
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JQWYZiXpt
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaCspjIT0h
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveFe3M366l
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6cUQm2PfF
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsvyAxHXPP
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BLnaUXJDE
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46hNCi8QpW
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWKJVU1mhL
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqAF9FVl3x
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBYYONVUKj
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyouwzRenc
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdS48RyArgI
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUC2JbsMGl
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOwQCwoZPt
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPYJbL9Kns
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QL5gwTC3m
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3sCxgi6s3
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIayNIjVGN
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpss0cdNOIl
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskPbeyh9ok
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkd3Ra8mzv
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwedNPjp1m
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y9scktj9u
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Vjqz8dXg
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGADdhzipJ
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPwkwOoicw
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOhnfudm7b
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkjofDD9Hw
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdCK1w69vN
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pz1o2dKLL
Beet: “Haaa!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfCG59s0v5
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0sJYth9hp
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgQpZ1MAtO
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQSSUjLaVb
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXweDJgchU
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvDakg57vk
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDgKlyhRTu
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-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFApbHuNdK
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX1nbLQvfi
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJtdCopdhT
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFweFApchJ
Kakarot: “Enough”!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpbcagvorG
Beet: “Huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpKv4hC5it
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qgEtQZ44e
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFzdOdyBIA
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDnFXefjQA
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY30O2rB10
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhyDhKONFa
Beet: “Right!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx91PjmHTZ5
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACRHrgv8lp
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mOaM9JFcu
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzYvPfJR1O
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLWehml81n
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJSGUfWtLC
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXeq3VwpM3
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6WRVnt12x
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gQDKKfgZI
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZ8AYYJ4dS
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypE6sSnw20
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2isOocCnk
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKm982uiGy
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK58EsdrdM8
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9AdYbZ4Fv

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

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqsU0wZ4Xq
“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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBICW4mjout
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UHAMxwvO2
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVFR9Vizk4
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySsJQtZv1M
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwZxzTFGLs
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y81yq50hM
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU22gXu6Sk8
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iVu6WWTBb
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1otj1Zfbm1
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkLitwUZvA
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ020Dyi2NRe
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBtn0c9ruj
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5TdU3ZmI8
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Xd6SNXCZ
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpgECFb8Mq
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqd22WGYpx
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIEnA6CAI0
Bulma chuckled.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqhpCWykcP
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLohzxcMHjN
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugxOphOWjO
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOVWN22HDB
Beet: “Momm!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HXn3J19KS
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ArodiquZY
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzrThtGwWR
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7hzZW5brn
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVav4L3G0ff
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI2p91xBTA
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19XPLP6BcJ
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrt44InFN3
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ457226cSq
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49oE7c3nwd
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWApKb0KvLU
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4KryEQ6Rf
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVzhMl6enU
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tFcXRPTor
Kakarot: “Enough!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNS2fSNYLl
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9QQVyUouf
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5lpI4MzV8
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPfOaxFwUf
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12trAbOnuq
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePJ4088Smd
Beet: “Sir!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C1VNGqgqY
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3u3vsSl4c
Bulma: “Beet!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2i4vKPiHM
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s61iP8Cdg
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzvyRegUxU
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndiyHcfDVp
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Vz0ZVOvaf
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccJayaz0na
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd70hdFK8a
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWgpdGoZVZ
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtVVQKnNLw
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoXPsthXwE
Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”

Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCjuBx6LEw
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkjxSA0FnK
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrn6dxFhIr
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNPNKGHEQd
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusFJxZFaHn
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Rg8xKTxW
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp3ePjpoB2
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVljb8Aopf
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FuqM9Cp7a
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2WpmHDoWl
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImD6Qnello
Raditz: “You have my word.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1jKO7eJr9
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKRzOaqjQo
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocuzHDAix1
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmWKdHEWJ3
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7eFRytjoc
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIEM0DE2Pr
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ycIi4U8gm
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcpb2IrN9G
Raditz chuckled.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uftbBC4NH
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7B5wABN9aq
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeu9toEKzx
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHm0wpvujL
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68svdyYRqn
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuoem65sui
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh2T2aTZfm
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfV6grWlG0
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi31ZDBbBu
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlN3oUZ9yB
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZtfUJ4uXD
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo55qRm6SU
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn5eirKfKT
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsMYuSSaC2
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1UajMrJvr
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGdCiVObf7
Raditz took a deep breath.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE6mZijE2E
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzLksvpyqZ
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdNfdIqdad
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4rg9xRbc2
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcOLk0yDH5
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4XSxXhHp1
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWXzkfk99o
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmk6DU9LnU
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7pRoq5GZD
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsppigeMW2w
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF2u2odOv3
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTchdtQhvD3
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrxxL7I3lJ
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDotRSlt2iU
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqiNWsPJZ9
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzUngTXPwJ
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9RpHz54Tg
Kakarot: “The prince?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPPExd9dmM
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA13ymFj3NS
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9loU5MBJf
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6JQUw2lK3
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLW7qs1862
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaRAoGNhSa
Kakarot: “….”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb39Dk82RV
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCgDKxBEdU
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiebVauQX9B
Bulma hesitated to reply.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1nRttQLgJ
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D5UbFhB6u
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJ63RvI2Oa
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxzv4dmbj7
Beet: “Sir!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe5RNsHlLQ
He came face to face with his father.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUr5Bgp0tZ
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZG1vfzXcC
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdclDH7lJAi
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKVrz1TzYf
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyxVDEsluD
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcipahImlPB
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrKErAFXRx
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDU2Ps536s
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90tcjhLj0l
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHrLovzbvE
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyexCzoVpUh
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwdwvDCW2p
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEaqiFdtFu
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxwCZZTrQK
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.’
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH0Yq1IvZo
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybpmnc5EgC
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAus9trA6QN
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5H1ZVHEEk
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDCp7WXl2L
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ngpXfnNb
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKKL376VGM
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtCyxFlqVy
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKze6iuLUy
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh4Az3u8ur
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5gaHk1z9b
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kqxOwBAVs
The prince hesitated.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC78S8hqPdu
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpxNkf4f6v
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUq5t7BxFo
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1H34pY53b
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h9Ic79AE2
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtNs9qqsHs
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZKbEy4F22
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq8Y5qwIke
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPwMPdWvCI
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs991u1Lu1a
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdplAz4DHc
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lJX8bOosJ
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYJxfqxRpt
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbPzHhXJDX
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZnpWy3iz6
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHKDuzzDLd
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRNC052O2Q
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1S41QfqqG
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSPFLB35O9
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmED1ewBbW2
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CIA0PUhUL
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPXYnDUdeU
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1XSdPywuL
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9Ix7WGKtd
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLmYRj5gDY
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdw807dZqS
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHv6wGUoEYU
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fagT5hJar
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VX1TkdpaO
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGf7W3RGuX
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrSW3BIVVm
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLLeB8kYkq
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhuLnBdkEh
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPJBhQE6IC
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2Z2dj4m6z
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWal7kAqeW9
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPTh2lcXRd
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaSERbYnCt
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCucFmalqV
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJBUE4tefQ
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMYUdbkWpc
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy1rnaNycW
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVuH3ExIlX
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34kGGajkoW
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctj0ojqHvo
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQntHLBU8L
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LxcL7Pjk1
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUHPmjyRv4
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLAPUt8ZiW
Kakarot: “What was that?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8m5zR1cXK
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pjAMZHjXg
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Kocd0Tx1
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUMuCQBZQR
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yNqeShkrr
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczfZTtCBLD
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1otSmJvQ9z
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL9i1PfxJp
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPchAig39V
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJNfDZHM9n
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTq1RZYx5B
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Se6xmkObB
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouIujfOtZu
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhvQukFZJc
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN8F7ICiEv
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcIiTVpzls
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIODQ6yHbRH
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxidQiNW7fQ
Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8VkFIlxla
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBvbx6OBbK
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU7qe7GRBd
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ392dnn61Tx
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmd0nk4Xkm
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA98aDDyYj
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsLfiqQNUq
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AuOWN7YCw
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVdt5cqe51
“Your foot is on my tail!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aTEC9ZBLr
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNtsrU7SPa
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9faHNSncts
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXTSeMOxsN
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXflnXCNjx6
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpM9U6Bb2N
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJrLycR1iS
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0CGQ24skD
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKkfa1YfK2
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIJ908fIgt
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDhwDy5j71
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gmbov983O
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBYJQZRSTn
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PHpQlX3kL
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdGsbtlYYt
Kakarot smiled.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoPCR9vxMz
Kakarot: “Understood!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDuh057Lxo
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRXkf3dVWJ
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvEMbVU7k3
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1srXab65i9
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjK8CwBe86
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hJplQ9nsL
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DtbNgxnH5
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ziwK7GQ62
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡws4Ny3hTqQ
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKTl8foXqh

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkb91D8Aiu
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ616thpxE8I
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O2GnZcHRP

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45U32LPBPx
Vegeta: “You might have to step in.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPIiEXIR64
Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXVfpdDMEK
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz9GdBHFvD
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DUxXk7L6W
Modora charged at the saiyan, disintegrating and smashing everything in his way. He lowered his head as he went in for a headbutt. Kakarot caught his head. He was pushed back as Modora tried to force his way through and connect his attack. The immovable object had met the unstoppable force. Smoke came off of Kakarot's hands, the overwhelming heat of Modora's body was leaving its burns once more. Kakarot clenched his teeth, trying his best to endure the sting. He lifted the monster by its head and slammed him to the ground. Modora immediately recovered, launching a punch off the bat. Kakarot blocked the attack but was sent flying from the sheer force. Modora took the chance to commence an assault of his own. Kakarot fended off the attacks but the pressure was leaving no opening for a counter attack. Modora bypassed his guard and caught Kakarot with a few blows before being knocking him away with a blast of fire from Modora's chest. Kakarot rushed back into action, confronting the dragon once again. They traded a blow, knocking blood out of each other. They continued their slugfest, receiving and delivering attacks to one another, nonstop. A punch to the gut, an elbow to the jaw, an uppercut to the face, a kick to the rib, a kick to the head, the brutality continued.

Nappa: “That's nonsense! Let me see.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA3P4JQ2El
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRV6SDo00X
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB725ju3Ru
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjIuKqHivY
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfyuRS5FwW
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocXMLyFoOO
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisuUrPGkHC
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSL6j1Hn1j
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsg9r5v5NPA
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjqw1pXmbN
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc83zC77o0X
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHFI5JhsZ7
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKgvCE8fCd
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUvyZL1BjE
He took a peek at his injuries.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WOh6dkhPC
Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8eN4zK6Bu
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ABds17uPk
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWsw064e5C

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BVw7wmW12
Kakarot: “Huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoBNlqGnUG
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnmvUTK1ip
Raditz: “Why you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgcKEBxMei
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJRcolV3oY
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeamVA2W2Sm

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUL1EX3zU9
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFD9wusanZ
“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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukYStl95rt
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVUmjossXl
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwZQQfaY12
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnB4hZgQxx
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueTUaz1waI
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hORpY1kEi
Doctor: “I will sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeycZPVTL7u
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsxpGrrlUJ
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qSEvoDbCf
Kakarot: “Brother, what happened? I remember defeating Modora and then suddenly I just.. blacked out.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDXzEK6y35

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVXdLY3bEB

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLT6VBzZ4su
Raditz: “That's what's got me confused too.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMBPYPRhdc
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx3okPzXYP
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsWSCUCgTc
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wkJHGeEZ0
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKrY7myaGn
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sY7WaOSEP
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZaIr2u0ZY
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZg5YdpSKI
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ120t5Mcoqc
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz4jEDmfmM
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI2NMkMNok
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxmczmsKuq

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oH8X2VzQj
Kakarot: “When we win.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaKUtcWYyA

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKXvryykZ1

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMKuRE6Vn8
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wmxAB9nIQ

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbFLbyit9C
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgkfXpaC2Q
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweGBdVPkk8
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3wm67OMGU
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2gzuj1MVb
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2cXL0AG60
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjYEx0kiWf
Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4960KeiK9

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWWXBuOcjS
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuKs3MogWl
Beet's mood brightened after hearing the comforting voice of his beloved uncle. He rushed to the others, eagerly introducing himself.

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsTZ8yEoFe
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7d9tDKOwa
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2uIHIKPhK
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z7Nfolz3j
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLCL4sEgpl
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWqxtQwV4V
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zEaEVC34J
Raditz: “I will..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1ODRKEWgx
Raditz turned to his comrades.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF45aFZxBM
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRwIaj63Wy
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG73rcs5fjv
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTiMY0YscB
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VLqs6g49q
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNRl6JWZ36
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWCTf8oFaV
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu8Ce0dtiz
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PkWYBlAik
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiUiqJYVBo
Beet: “Okay!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9UYdwgTNU
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT3b6zpkUp
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVf2uv6ZFN
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBvVhldRhc
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwybmKKdpPD
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVMQ31k95u
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8JmElePwE
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WwAQZ0ySI
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwayRNWWPZ
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClurE8mi41
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55ssXe7Eon
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p4rtUWx3h
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBbqhmhjFn
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO20j8etm6
Beet: “O-Okay.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XY4f0qujY
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6mlg8NHuc
Kakarot: “What happened?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCADHpCgli
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEQMTmIXEB
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvRLy2L5Lc
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hzz8ij24F
Kakarot: “Fine.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViMOWuktk3
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPXzFA2u7J
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtedjSgEDO
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxxOWjFttD
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat5uWosjVV
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbY7rihjPJ
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPCKQtrlOR
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNzLixZPdJ
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUMmtojKkg
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzSVTSX46Y
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUl1Dc2xIJ
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXpcKQoLIi
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNQkBtX5SE
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5uTMYCL0L
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX7VlFHz6N
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4qrSzI8G7
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHJwuSkizq
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ntPxq3RD
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqBMzPSVOH
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8U9I73VDD
Raditz: “Understood.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAZ0cl1zmn
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8HsIi9QmU
Raditz departed from the room.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBNdnmcdy2
“Haaaa”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwZGiTa6h5
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC4s1Na2SX
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeqrOvyxkN
Kakarot: “Right.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZfKFTdBw7
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlS5RHKzCa
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s5VZ3pGQE
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEVbBtw6rW
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszBPiq2GNO
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnccHgARk2
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGpkzv5eV3
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyDFZIzrOf
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTSlHfXosg
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDm9UaSobT
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4ZHQ2l2Dm
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wUrCDa0Ss
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKclE0OpOuR
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLm52o6r7qM
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwfAyXD1wk
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIdy0I8gIE
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxZPkFiJbl
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPxhFPzEtK
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IJ1iO9200
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OOwEyBUbz
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaacpIw7ir
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y5QFyTq8S
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv81sbzUaJ
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oOZ34D8Vi
Kakarot turned around.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKvMEQN7kw
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8lV2HWhfH
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNM1NMr1oJm
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZDvQT8Zj9
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OmpANOMHH
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jxy3CnETa
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkujoN8oiO5
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK2MgGDm9o
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9plgs44urW
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJdobocGkB
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LykL3rz6Y
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguXS0sF7r8
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsn9IfDpAE
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6hjoHKCHW
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWywebP9vcN
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaKavXusYp
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm1Nx4WPgx
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe2y58TRgw
Kakarot: “Right!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAhM48PUts
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMAUxOawXT
Kakarot: “Yes?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAtLsMcTOS
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpaT0172Ao
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEhBQ6FkXF
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNTMC9lyHz
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdcBBLD2ZK
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRKN6Bva3C
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1p37FU41R
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YtrpaNPDl
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo1QruQEEl
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqX5PahpwQ
Raditz turned to his brother.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzKw1gRNr3
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VsP4tuprV
Raditz: “Right..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgqeuvoK1k
Raditz took off with his pod.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkL8gnzzxm
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsCSelQfKE
“Let me take a look.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVsqH2xCzu
Beep! Beep! Beep!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXDc6kprJ7
“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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBbjkkDily
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOBvpy9phb
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WhjwbZai7
He bowed in respect.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa06wSXpDG
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gKrv3gS9B
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiQvy7Udum
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdIfeWasdI
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36l5KmRER7
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHwbWcW0Sh
Raditz: “As you wish.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgYO57ycyM
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTg1z2hc6K
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqhTbOaXyG
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRjI8aDSh0
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqvEvYw72Y
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPRd5ZZMiX
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T3TxiKXhg
Zarbon took his leave.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eHUWQtDIZ
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSp9ehamG0l
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWOIC8m2uf
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswifkmcUIr
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MFHUAzY3y
Raditz chuckled.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLY3gTLKRO
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQJ7var8U7
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfBMwM5pxl
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ069XDOO4qz
Beep! Beep! Beep!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3k1VtkkdG
Raditz: “He's here…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBze1fOoPT
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL9cxheiBL
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9oY88YIvb
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitTiGByLIf
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyCdHYtFuf
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibobp6TRAm
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaa8wlx5lV
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsKtvQhtj4
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qUMS3qO4t
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02klDYxpBM
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoEJSWeown
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ2TCppZQn
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZdbmxZZYw
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgMRtDxZTZ
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2xsYfdIPd
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ch659pBiM
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AZNyPUwQ8
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDDVSnpg0H
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTqERbm79b
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe6QdWe6nj
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvN7XrwpSe
Raditz: “Damn it!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXF2pKPV6o
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEwQb1EvCY
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxHXVlJCQ2
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xJhXhE7m0
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfks1VW15JE
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1TQcZp8ct
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWItHh2erBm
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9f7xpT30V
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1TcZeyluj
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIlib9cDp6
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL5Ss7ayUD
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi7yjJw9m9
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyIA3qFPRm
Beep! Beep! Beep!
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbUIH67HS7
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBBaIFSa0e
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcky3wfMz9m
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJeEL55Nul
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHNCaqw8Jw
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GEkPPvZ7g
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CzOOoGuhi
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.

Dodoria: “Why you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHeqLCDEgZ
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HkfGuNdBw
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeAXITCd3i
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.

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Y4uPa3wY
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IMIbCwR3x
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLQdYylrs1
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMQJn4oEow
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwFIn09CNs
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPmX01IR7X

Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtKGCXcHUw
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.

Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0O1SbxOkk

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkaOL0YQLG
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHxjoFFwXN
Raditz poured down a barrage of blasts. Zarbon grew overwhelmed. Raditz took his chance and slammed his knee into Zarbon's back. The sudden blow caused him to drop his guard, leaving him open for the blasts he had been fending off. Zarbon took the force of the ki attacks head on. Raditz yanked his hair, pulling him down and elbowed his face with his other arm. Zarbon retaliated with a fearsome jab to Raditz's face. He continued with a nasty slap. The terrifying soldier grabbed the saiyan's ankle and dashed to the floor, slamming him to the ground at full force. Raditz laid on the ground, using every ounce of his will power to stand. Zarbon stomped on his chest, forcing him to remain put. He continued to apply pressure, crushing Raditz’s ribs. Raditz desperately attempted to remove Zarbon’s foot but his efforts had no results. He found an opening and delivered a clean kick to Zarbon's groin. He jammed his thumb into his right eye and kneed his jaw. Zarbon held his face in pain.

The tyrant’s body went through a terrifying metamorphosis. His limbs enlarged at different rates and proportions. His power level burst through the roof, the saiyans began to lose their composure as fear took over their consciousness. Frieza ended his transformation, revealing his true strength.

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vBqkZeyjP

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oKae28wW6

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89VM37ehU3
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahXFodLgP7

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHxlt5rbHB

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB3ToiQHtk
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4sWMNPkDq

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK8ZGscwVw
Kakarot: “Not again!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDIA7cE240
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48gGYvSjkd

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgiaQZQJ6p
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NiHEQgMp9
Kakarot: “Look out!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlbVLFWHDk
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.

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslC0o7Aj82
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4139Zaw6J
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNfmLTnlop
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPqIa0pkrG
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYgm8nFjIi

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48xQRA0UEB
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEQd6QyM4N

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjjkJZcInB
Frieza: “You again!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDim6XdyeDF
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflMB7W9mNc
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MCeaNXaGe
He yanked his arm and kicked the back of his head, following the attack with a whip from his tail. Kakarot crashed into a nearby building. He burst out from the rubble, charging at Frieza yet again.

Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZQbwNWWZd

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP7jyQRCp3
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WuVFKqyEm
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9RDgpG8KN
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwugYPFGlho
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUyTaLplXZ
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIxHrFN9zp
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5apjMEZn9
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQC7xOfFlt
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS6yarRxCI
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxrd7rsYji
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR6W7yn7Op
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxiDo81QO5
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGhl5ind1l
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63twlVzXRP
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQncaC9CRD
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis0T1c2iUL
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCymkdRW5kp
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOycm79dA9
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrUTujkVeT
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeh8wgM7aK

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddz6d3dDZq
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMk2Dm7FqW

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUdmqT2LZs
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.

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsU75F5Npl
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kMQOrJZBZ

411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9JcfITbFB
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq5ndwlsYO
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WCaKkB9O4

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHCqiFDx2Y
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoy6xa3kgS
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvgHBxQUG4
Kakarot punched Frieza to the ground. For a split second, the tyrant saw a flash of the warrior that rebelled against him many years ago.

Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2gAnRbVeT
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ570rbTMFUb
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA612zIifZ
Kakarot: “It's done…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJRhoHi2Zm
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTknHtGjqV
Vegeta ascended into the air.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99B24QZ1xA
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf56fABF2lZ
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5CDQ1edig
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZDuoImBQU
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3cpDPbL14
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVHDyt65jt
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gbdapeWnP
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c4NAVODoY
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAepBerYGRg
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66dNNPKqIl
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3llWpDBeZ
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QH3ifqETB
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCMLJHPcMY
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SuJ4oCjbA
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63emFpyCZM
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2hapLDQmy
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVOJEOqQdo
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV6UDe7yPv
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tJHQ76p6T
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SJeiwhOmD
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdovOZPBToT
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob4JV9ji9b
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWl7ev9nohE
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYVyZILnOd
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqJR0OTTbN
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmc7dIqhp2
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk97HVCv1kW
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1irwLJMbG
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmTCBLyF9K
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3zqrghZA5
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceLPwofXQf
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mhyEF062P
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ7jZIkKGe
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3xDyqIrMt
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7loWGoFAcf
He looked at his fist in shame.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3NYMBEvXw
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJqKa9gJKH
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW2DBRWujx
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImfqX22l4D
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RkMts59vm
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA7Fa5u5aL
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyX0SnRtai
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRKK8j4qaR
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPDmQK8cFS
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkflLXH5hr
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNed15gARc
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuzipAsysb
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeUkt2GvPJ
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JCeBOdzbg
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr55S8toQto
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..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUhoApm1Wy
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NIAlFVE3O
Kakarot: “No…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLbfRaqjO4
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOeq1awvvO
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqQQtk5fYt
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPRMNHORTS
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y5zTBKmXr
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwfubT5Mk0
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwUlc60EKQ
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuunw09jJu
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzFBG3gDUI
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPldKbyss6A
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaljPfaPTB
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktLyX2RO9f
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQNb7nBUW2
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0NGt2SbMm
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g5rW2eSb8
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0issXbHR0
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX11CD2Y3S
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWG4ZCWMx2
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R2Qplrqxh
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8aC9Gx20x
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYQeuG8eNK
Raditz bowed down in respect.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBUOq3vnCb
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdO3hy9H7j
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmcJnZn6Cq
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSPqXXg6r7
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3f3xk6VvI
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrEOSNJs2S
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnQJQqWhUM
Raditz: “Right!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fi6zehYCD
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMlz8ykb7D
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QTiaVWyrE
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo3YC0mWnR
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnowi64gyrZ
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvPSEWuWpT
Tears ran down his face.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKmUoUdhAK
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?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh58EaZDskY
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwReWPrUF4
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl4JrwjDyJ
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfKEUTbMUg
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Wbzdi0Nv
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmh9gw81net
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1De3nLeyS
Raditz smirked.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucWZrCASnw
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmRUQIgLhz
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsxP3GSW7u
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIHdhUbh7f
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG014HqycX8
He pounded the ground.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfbQt8KcX3
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hPBP74rs3
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBI1wKmnX6
Kakarot: “To fight!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEzbxzZWce
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa3aIUGeyH
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz78RffsSB
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoj4AA7trk
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AUCZvVVpF
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQq9aFmnzwo
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmp2sYIwbI
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonfDMwIbX6
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoqrFkdtUw
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!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjyGMSh9mz
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.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRgg3wCPcz
Vegeta: “Wait!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPxXqUjPE9
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.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3qTCSJ4JS
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnKzz2dwTO
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnKE1XDUtd
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvQj0NJyA5
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vhbltiWDC
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”
411Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9dvnAV6sE
Shenron: “As you wish."
