Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2won5ilePY
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS5Te2N8lP
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1CIpDktNl
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkDRPYYTfZ
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2vSMiT3Oj
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrJAEw76Yz
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVihgVMBf8
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JjJIXABGd
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJpR4k9Xmr
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXBjZ7twyP
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3p4Z8GZAS
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUbB8MZuVt
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyajuKiLTTh
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm5IW4cHXJ
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyavVljy7g
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU1SAFzayw
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FPxPUp6tD
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2b3Su361z
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.

“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP1BtpCGaI
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHVDQaTD8W
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUyIi41D7U
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6RzHLN7qS
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc9u3NdYnU
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiREUz7oye
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi0xPsMAez
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdChxtah47w
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqr4B21IUD
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKeaNGM8cV
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp9eFgg8jr
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JBqjc4Com
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHdWgHR4Ad
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK0tFfREeO
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XQSY8V6x4
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAZLO5Vujw
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeo54Tp6Sta
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6Fhb0kzO
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaR4mxguVr
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGWGLhoG4J
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkuhOw0ONk
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bjz56NN6J
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG46o4T9Fn5
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkSwvrbofA
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t8tsWjYfv
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxuqzMkLYv
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAeRrH1Cnr
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqcLoySG9W
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj3Ft1bbwL
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIND5kI669d
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm69kWYM0H
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ClX7ZAUKj
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgECxzTSrR
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwf2K6bZ6x
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMHiEpfDw1
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Hgvuo6HF
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwbfrDLlO6
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReRgwls4tA
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9GAyIQaEI
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVamoimPj6
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFdYKtYGqv
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ726Siufknx
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkUma45F0W
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89tR5he3yL
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnUYrlTXN2
Beet: “Haaa!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoArxciBBbY
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhL89zqsf9L
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7TxibVi2p
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5f40dmFpQ
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpdA6R65DU
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF9gjtHTUo
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdpPD2tCSO
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-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SnLu1wnNz
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FbfaA9pKX
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvjw9FD32I
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3SdMpG3NT
Kakarot: “Enough”!
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI06piYePku
Beet: “Huh?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBFaknOwPm
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZiukxuQP1
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyxANC0lNa
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FOO1H6CCA
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZlNn7YBhR
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAlYuOWxrl
Beet: “Right!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa2kNxmsVn
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZVDRR8nid
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5KkRQ4d3x
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uX7ORz7R6
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0HEJJmWSV
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48PufDppbH
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH20WcZ5Bq
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyfBIsyml0
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYojgaWjgQv
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W1VTwEynA
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlTVbyhRIb
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ85TuiQz3F
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjp73OXdCp
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGBGx8kqUq
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLGG1Q1AKN

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

Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcbcCJEDEN
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1lHDiyPGk
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWd92v6CJN

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooUYegzsdh
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYGqoItx5M
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUW3p9irpd
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvP89tMgR4
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.

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHnI7h7jTv
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamibQbLEAp
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0Vh9j9ivN
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63MdTzLRAn
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP52nEVL9Q5
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzGpdD54iW
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgJrLpbrVv
Bulma chuckled.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwpLWPcZk1
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB02OZFdFFr
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2eh7XC0Jb

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInPQ7deNts

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ujuEic2uQ
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDKWRDkdCz
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KQ2iaheYU
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5dWqAOQqY
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7YIUXTAyF
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYy3HmP6Lh
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNxXQSHFQ7
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9h91Tu6Ex
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICyRhRh0J5
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkylKvCAn2P
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lEnjJx4Za
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrzXJbkN93
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSwZIXW4Jt
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3JidNeFCv
Kakarot: “Enough!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzCGGkTxXv
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QOTVYEVZm
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46MjNWfUDu
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z3kvGUPf7
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvQipxgRSi
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh6P2zVVTr
Beet: “Sir!!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu492dOeYBX
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpOTJubSme
Bulma: “Beet!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DYTsmGP6Z
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s4rqayXKu
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLTYNOB3Ck
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvh7NhR6EW
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSEr3G6vhz
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbCuIDjZZE
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYYqZU1VVw
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVsegnGafQ
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMqZkZBwpY
Raditz: “Yes, we're a powerful race known as the saiyans. We're a warrior race with natural gifts for combat. Our kind has conquered planets for ages, colonizing them either for the purposes of selling them or using them as a base. Word around here is that this planet belongs to you right?”

Kakarot: “Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't conquer this world for malicious intent, I simply did it to set myself free from their oppression. I don't wish to be an oppressor myself.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGxbylvwyQ
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrGFmsBp7v
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKUOq84GV0
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmMK6WEF4W
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2Gt7Q5gov
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGc9GFrMAg
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFy9eQ8Nh8
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1M6MDlNbr
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJfTiXwcEa
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT9Zzt15wU
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwcljbFhN7
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCUzO5HYjl
Raditz: “You have my word.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH3nmCLldV
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0ushOMUO6
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnParRQwSlL
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k92gJwwmc
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDcDuUuXTm
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEytRHpTYR
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi79i6gsox
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMHXAUq1WM
Raditz chuckled.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm49QZqxYN5
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd05zjCNnuW
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tw8vjAXPv
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC43tPNvyrQ
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcvTMQvmd1
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OlcF5MyxJ
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwBoGIiKof
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8jx3jWwkm
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiafJUh09kd
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9OhgwZQlK
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP2juMD5a0
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHoBPQAvQt
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWoWN8HKit
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5ZmmDL6sr
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeLPXgkwEh
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo849aZOTZM
Raditz took a deep breath.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe9yMwZ4NW
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aq1n32VWa
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQeTt7iqEk
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF9YjZdVg6
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkwK2dxG5A
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbysPodD5jU
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sBAzLAF3D
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbpMMhMU1s
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisGqC7SHSC
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXgTSi4F9e
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rBUrwYmwq
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwSOWAu9kJ
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPUQlsbJ4o
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaosCzYrib9
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYQWKcHt26
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J9xe7QyVp
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiszY5n1OAV
Kakarot: “The prince?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbzscoTaaT
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VW7IIc2gT
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHcYutB5Qk
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjSzBcgami
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpC2nLHUHi
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqx8NSJ8e4
Kakarot: “….”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclrNErJpbK
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Go2rfkzLx
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FaKeRIJeJ
Bulma hesitated to reply.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCDNfPolyD
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgQElTLC50
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYM9sktZHr
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8W0J5boWH
Beet: “Sir!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbnaJ1gVFx
He came face to face with his father.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBfCmTyXld
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRSQU7Wlcg
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwJFmU25VV
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT1kTEtAU5
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkLcPXWs1i
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHRoBTehek
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQM2oPeP59
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsVD1vO3sT
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeQZkARCM6
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJYkyqw4S4
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWwkcfGsaB
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabrH8d35RD
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY8HSe359F
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHz2QfuhyNk
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.’
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMDy46m7ul
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyXvL4lYda
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB29vYzEnaj
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAEXivhdHf
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTGPBHJtfK
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN1hwK9JJk
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOfiPU5xgm
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1F4C5PAC3
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanIMIjbfib
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XIMGP3DlJ
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZfMrStT6c
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q7GQOYNlw
The prince hesitated.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DBzGbEGgz
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZnWbU2lte
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSE6gwXnSV
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ikpQza83x
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F37wKJiga
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AsfIryh17
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAalW9sJq0
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR1uqB3SCU
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU5Ael77QP
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7EvDJrnRs
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIfg0qABP8
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EXZXrfMob
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD3J9wAutx
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8PoaGgQsw
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar4cFnfzim
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9nH2rNmEG
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yiRRWHgHb
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGNmlBvLIL
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaHy1UAVVp
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46emYBvStT
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg34Oo2qG4
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgDTWHSVPl
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0N9c8FlRk
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclwMZ6bE9w
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6vlPUYV8u
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiDrf0fudu
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZphQp3yPt
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupnDoLvljP
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGonKgg39lQ
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu1yffWpOZ
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk86TLHViVz
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSsUgLFvWn
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA8TUiq1N3
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIenk1ikc0
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrndjQEWwuf
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lVkCVfGV0
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pZognVj5U
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxYMdGKHhS
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu66BV2cfRJ
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGN2mfVFzi
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSBaGt8VgN
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBNCjXnFwZ
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3NkVFAAeG
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcgOWj5BdF
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2puoS5h7a
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGffBgKnzd
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTs5cwXPzH
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdawAVtD4v
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmbVRfChcf
Kakarot: “What was that?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5JjJjBQvg
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVOVTuIcid
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0tGqZkqV4
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVguOIUgXL
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJjl4tve2Q
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDCOvVvrqo
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka4OHvESp1
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cZ4MwxxwE
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7scw4n7f
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eJP0Qu6di
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwATtYRgUx
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0X3APVCeu
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2TowF3raO
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1o977dwAI
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqFaTxXNfX
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eOLA0YezM
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4ZVSd7lL7
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.

Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7kz1pNfob
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxIi8s92Om
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fcncjzwcu
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJRDay8pEU
They all leapt into the air with only moments to spare as dragon humanoid creatures ascended from the underground. They remained still with their eyes shut.

Vegeta: “We've all got places to be so I'll make this short. I am Vegeta, the prince of the saiyan race. We've come here to recruit your people to help us in our war. If you fail to comply, we'll simply slaughter your kind. The choice is yours.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nIRapPivi
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGs2TUeICG
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ozCS6u3Ph
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJYxdnyQEu
“Your foot is on my tail!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EEzTrUrc5
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJUpaas83B
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTlysftBzJ
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Y4eUcfAv
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcsMqslNbd
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23mtn1rThM
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr9E89XwA7
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvAFfPmQSE
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpg5Jkl51a
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggtwJT3Dmr
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8WJ1S8ARB
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcTYr2QD11
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmrrnT9XLr
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGIhCESXRW
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4sNqUfV1n
Kakarot smiled.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCx5KfYpON
Kakarot: “Understood!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIbj6Ilk3k
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gOPl9dNPF
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZztQ0jw7d
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gEJ6J5C8H
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmTetMs0Ji
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRZ46QtD9H
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ290jrqQBLe
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTOdq2AGyd
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70nmklg5XW
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C5MdSc8Do

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoQiEnFD0O
Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x5HNyZIsJ
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tA4SKhFp4
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCmbDVFkEt

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zAIoi0GcT

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSznIS8cU6
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKTq8sYY7g
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R3uW0tNPk
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOi050PAQn
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MEfUz1yYy
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY6Raop2qq
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r6crbRILy
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK31HgluEL
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLQ2zthYUw
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzqzsFlI2B
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ4SHcEcTU
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfDX7BO27a
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqQgnZN23S
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcSTWMZk6d
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FXPo0GxFh
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkZf6as7fA
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuI5xx28Ca

Raditz: “Your body has already begun its recovery process so soon, that's odd.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf7MbREe5A
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgGOPe6pXu
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi3tYupKr3

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZguTKm9KaL
Kakarot: “Huh?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOdN0eLHrk
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VoEFlgrc3
Raditz: “Why you!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoj3th7lzA
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxihZmgGw3
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m8LG0XOQm

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07RPcxouDQ
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z9ILfnyej
“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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc5rf3gmMR
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuI3oChIM0a
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3PpUBDtlh
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu2PFSuCcT
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh4ndXB1TO
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsMJH7k7kq
Doctor: “I will sir.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFKxUluYuP
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvB0ET6leZ
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynCJl99RL4

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLWKIlAPmo

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVIOUApbLh

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKup7U2pRE7

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VeMdk5iHh

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPia3d9nID
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklSVbmG4Z0
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUoUZRvp2E
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5G1xZivHs
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkg9tIbgRJ
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztCMz06NQu
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDvkiNqE7T
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq5D8CMB8J
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7HJe4oOUC
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pq3Unl4N2
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tdXr7s5XE

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GoZE9hJN6
Kakarot: “When we win.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dnoTAAgvh

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHFw5fmLEM

Bulma: “It isn't just about you, don't you get it? You have a family now! When did you become so selfish?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72J7JxCHaO

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfRRsAU1Ce

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45665pveXb
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5zvbJ86tU
He walked out without looking back or showing any interest in doing so.

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGwupMI6EF
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkEDxn9D1S
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjErhds5yb5
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiWJ5106yj
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDrqLcq9qn
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmqtKVzeA9
The boy simply nodded and watched, incapable of shaking the uneasy feeling from the sight. Kakarot descended near a large space ship, surrounded by soldiers. Beet held on tightly to his father as they walked past the intimidating army. They reached the entrance to the ship.

Raditz: “Kakarot, we've been waiting for a cool minute now!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlXy9s6Bgm

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcYZPWVVJr
Raditz: ‘Well, pipsqueak, come greet the rest of the gang!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPXTSvVZFV
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNm0yRR7JG
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObpi68Emwd
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!”

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Djjvpqdjt
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kd6wbLTen
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XJ8yQYCZV
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzlARBDF4J
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIEl0Rrqsj
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRvk6Xm4JS
Raditz: “I will..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs70OL8l67Q
Raditz turned to his comrades.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ137ENSxPZU
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjhbTS5WiM
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZxdgC0ZHi
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhLsmlV5qU
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwA6KbLRo4
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48YZX56kYO
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFmj0Ek050
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pRDutnonr
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TNWqEK1T3
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx62UMd2E1
Beet: “Okay!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgUONqaiu1
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkBafHN3hQ
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8tH7Djzpj
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZm4FF4CQdi
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhDmamyd68
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vjjtVuwau
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpQ4CkFAIj
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppHk6e1Smm
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9MaRqjiwa
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYYgyMfsS3
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuFbbXD3TD
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpWHk5w86N
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVVcNdHWN0
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp6LotyHCg
Beet: “O-Okay.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVEcMZYIbF
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC0TeLN8rh
Kakarot: “What happened?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXBuEIAmBZ
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3spSoXaRx
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NO8r4rYhe
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7fXNpmELg
Kakarot: “Fine.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh16og4hWL
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGAhNqNhhd
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLowD88ivRO
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9JKmCA8DX
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUNZpmBj6D
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV4t6ctf2t
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mnZIgKbtt
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXASizWywU
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzCC59JaGp
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDamul6hkM
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0IxwUhmY6
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEhpOXNFc5
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU50CzWQzhR
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBwGmki5dF
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2AcIXQZOW
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbS5qquCIA
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfvpn3edxJ
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cazzeb0Xx
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ1rxCfRw2
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYobwxsLLh
Raditz: “Understood.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCPO5ZHleD
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH6fm2fnYz
Raditz departed from the room.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkiBD0bupe
“Haaaa”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pQvbnlyGg
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8XTvhc2TW
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNmxLMIG7F
Kakarot: “Right.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04v9Gm3Mz2
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3C6s6Bfcn
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW3jOysdpf
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVnQAVxdeG
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rTOLH2Gvf
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo7KABNKyj
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb2PrtDpkx
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq7WpQABwa
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog9hUVbkmo
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPC8mczFw3j
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKSCYZUw0u
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDwbw6BCic
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNOS6GeLmG
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfhjR2nJdu
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOZQcJO7ZC
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjCcINHFvY
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTXUjjGQxA
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU4l68lKPz
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoxMxRFPLJ
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuqs8UScV2
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Weegvx5AA
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLtzcCFsbG
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XOoBMT9sB
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1E742BCYd
Kakarot turned around.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3uvGZ5BKw
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA5WCBbDaU
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim6DJBIcme
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqAOyoD6Fn
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekbeehlRTT
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3BvWveMhm
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2uoXwwo0k
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJG2AGYhTr7
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBatP0LuGr
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4qnJTOwTX
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdrChSaqvs
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUDcuKiCTg
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IuAho8ZpA
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EONKEOMC5
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXJ4ehDrCd
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLlpYegi8D
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwGor9bjPZ
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvxfwA74CP
Kakarot: “Right!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26dBS7o8MU
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGLimidbFv
Kakarot: “Yes?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjscmq74SVj
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILt9sIv4zf
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnNXQ27WEs
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtknKdqOOs
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2LrUJDpE6
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZo4kHm4fu
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZglBo1fWT
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3Wxe8rxZg
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZtoNNOrQt
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYLTFjFlPz
Raditz turned to his brother.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr62yKbqNkT
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0LJQIp0sE
Raditz: “Right..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdOJCVFCyW
Raditz took off with his pod.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gJBNoNpEl
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2ji65Y5sz
“Let me take a look.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlihF41LhCr
Beep! Beep! Beep!
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvAx2AYEPl
“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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO0RVNUTRI
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1rkIQhkIz
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWn9NOJAmU
He bowed in respect.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQugpACp0y
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvq14t3y3b
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgy3dSWVRF
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8ZeVHkmw1
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey0dgPbsv5
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqolOgRyrt
Raditz: “As you wish.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dtPVw5asW
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOr43oJ3kZ
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77pb8LwhTL
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNiVEVoUTr
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6tkdm26Rb
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPPhYcXClf
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAGxYmrBRR
Zarbon took his leave.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHwOHDxmbi
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt0kijgO2u
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUtqacedsq
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52io9JkpFr
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aZoBxIF7Y
Raditz chuckled.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lx6zCTvuE
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdlkoTejUV
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4bD8aHFKt
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefVX1mN6S0
Beep! Beep! Beep!
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3tRiz3wXX
Raditz: “He's here…”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOqU6QI5b0
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO4eknVg5c
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c2NPQHdSU
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6fS9al1DF
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJikFu7cffi
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6fpWRXNCg
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBfOgbT8ui
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD21oUrftfP
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ipZFAbFi
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHHPXNrTye
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRw5wg2p3d
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzrl35TgWh
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVUewuuW6p
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZqOP7Dx41
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOqCmuALPf
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz1U6gOORy
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nb95KriJQ
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8xXkLF3tG
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRcCclhzG3
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YHDGLvHsb
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkGgzVuSBS
Raditz: “Damn it!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrTwcCPaJC
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkXWyF60ng
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV4OXt8IqB
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTSNR3b3bl
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ2QxDkd5p
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRV2QAJ0gi
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6lns7Lhz2
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr7qGwZ7k5
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zQDoPk05w
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2qsWdKAvg
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYI5F2ccpe
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkiXLwa4qt
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE3qmc4WGz
Beep! Beep! Beep!
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrc4iU6iYf
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvUp97Cfr7
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCgsHVY7rg
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj41OhNjyM2
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKqzCTG9kH
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2UFEDl3SY
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECuPlr4u98
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61zOgPfB8q
Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8uNzafC7E
Dodoria: “Why you!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyTFbP0En4
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfiJxTnsMd
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4QTgsBnll
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXllJw4iR9E
Zarbon: “Damn it! It's really come to this hasn't it? Take a good look saiyan, this is the last thing you'll ever see!”

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSphzluMZsL
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSikiutj6d
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7vYxDb3X4
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqvwSYDvRQ
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotfIbR3Or8
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSuMpJuW1e
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPooI4n6cF

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKBqIsVUIa
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDdaLiBMyn
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekoMEnkHD2
Raditz: “It's a pain to admit, but he's more powerful than I am. If I draw this out any longer, he's going to kill me! I need a different approach.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUU8USfSbv4
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZwvSU5xSb
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PfbtEEq4k
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.

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaBtTeldqN
Frieza: “Oh this isn't a power up, prince. The form you saw before was but a mere mask, a method of concealing my true power to not accidentally blow away this solar system.”

Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheHpSLApvL
His body grew as he morphed into the beast known as the Oozaru. Zarbon watched in fear as his opponent grew to a massive size. Raditz stomped on him, killing him immediately. He spotted his allies, noticing their struggle.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJIdp1RXnU
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8dtA5kNZ6
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYAew2gRXA

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxIHLTDbrR
Frieza: “Y-You-”

Frieza: “There's no point in playing around, I can't risk it with these monkeys! I have to use my final form!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i8vMgNYet
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RZ8EmOnaB
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbH9LMBvQo
Kakarot: “Not again!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbviHKgfLxk
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJObXnnt3W0

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyRDW5f05N
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrOoKWDFor
Kakarot: “Look out!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBAVPboPT2
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.

The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA096F60Qi

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhPhlu9UVj
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j8Hjiz84m
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaOVkdZwmo
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIqGocgLwf
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xmN44H2XD
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1eUVIViQ5
Raditz unleashed his most devastating move. Frieza stopped it and dispersed the attack with a single hand. He flicked his hand towards himself, pulling Raditz closer with telekinesis.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPnvkFNzXJ
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbly4BlFsi1

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Yi2ipEKCH
Frieza: “You again!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdve6SXmFCC
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehWU3x9xFG
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPQgpq7FE5
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUyy2mE00c
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJqrknygEU
Kakarot landed a knee to Frieza's gut. He balled up his hands together and slammed them into Frieza's back. Frieza fell straight down but caught his balance before crashing against the ground.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFNxmN0jSy
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRUWFqd78j
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OMQVyic5F
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCNO0zjM74
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ustW3tB3
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7irS76sMQz
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMiboUMloN
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz85lu717GM
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVwVOvUhs6
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B8y80UvEX
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNLcu9L81k
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxRTwECkTq
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURiHSbXuCW
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dn2qBTj47
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSa2BB6mON
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEodhg9NGlt
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllw3GuMplA
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGqva5SmyK
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKcESSRhC1
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ070OfOaHY2
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiEUKg9awl
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yq63FRFqr
“Haaaaaa!!!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlgfGAlABn
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.

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEZgFsclBt
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ5NxNW4AP

Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1XdzoTiW3

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4PfGDXBSW
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2KX2rqhEE
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡannluKP5Jw
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-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUPOOXXcrg
Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLv4tLvTSk
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bXJKimQQC
Kakarot: “It's done…”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdmtFEnAuI
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYBsuHHmus
Vegeta ascended into the air.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQldZ0C0cwb
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa24HPAddq
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDWxdcYQHi
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jSwpqC6g7
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gymu4T4uS
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDYhodrapC
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mHUo56Ywi
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAog4NLyTkQ
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb59l6Q9Jw3
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmUr4mCe0z
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisVtlGvda9
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXocMXtzih
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3yDyhbgqX
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhwnZMCdSq
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99QCnuILlF
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoF7c6PPXA
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAWNykkMXv
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoiAhcVXq9
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4U372pwwT
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsutnutMyl
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3mnp4oFNK
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnqehoUnKh
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXqm0MD2zo
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrY3IpkSId
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL8EZcwoyw
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tGdONEP8Y
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsiJgl9exu
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCMp6iyXLc
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pnCoBnc7C
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR8ieXTQ4w
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK7v3wQPI1
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27q7DUZj7r
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXqe9min83
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWWIaWlD7X
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAj3k1kgcp
He looked at his fist in shame.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIvExENAGn
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEhprSVwmR
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJNDmbXTAU
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxNfPzHQIZ
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuOowDOAGz
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡya2INbXm04
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OqBDCYXnI
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpBXqRgbUW
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVgD28Kopi
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvjvNI5wah
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcaSAMWBQI
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDz7U7TbGe
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub1xxf1hIS
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHnQlsSX4O
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWWUN6ivKe
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..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfRQagGLaI
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSmSL1dKAI
Kakarot: “No…”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdDP4VN4h2
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAJzGeKVsW
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGzHCsg7Vb
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOkCOrV4Eb
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAceMlliVK
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOg1hyAXnq
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV0cykMj9j
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9t3Uj4xC1
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKNM17U3xv
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kdgum5fqu
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRD1TBCud5
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXCoEQxkVz
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEYKO2Z81h
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTiMImSCl4
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qtQzk62JO
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXBqWu2xqY
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuar9RcUwZZ
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddl0ZNJTK4
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8S69sRdE6Z
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav3I0Ze31d
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlVvuuQ8Lz
Raditz bowed down in respect.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oOCJNuDED
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJUvW29Y3J
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVcNySNUCN
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n21S3VP0x
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvRaAwXXWD
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDy4mSUKYJ
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4tQP0ewLT
Raditz: “Right!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOri5cIFWP
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XybILfwu7
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsYcFwp2XU
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj1eI7ei4C
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymfTTxENxB
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlqYf7wxJH
Tears ran down his face.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGpSL56ssv
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?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlPjctPkt5
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGRg7Bcccz
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEDxH2UW8a
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaupP1jZGjs
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB26kERKpSm
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiI28jS8uy
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBdtoUvXwy
Raditz smirked.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPX7NWgubN
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9fCfEhlRo
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrOowtQ4yD
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBj3bBN4BS
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLAZW98DMC
He pounded the ground.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07tFOJrDtn
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC0w0JjnEN
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFmrjWC9DO
Kakarot: “To fight!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uBH76Y2gc
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSz8wzlmYW
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMChu5ExtcF
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs6AizH7I1
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoEB9PALoH
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLKhxVycNZ
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkfZbimEMG
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y7rajDKDK
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wPGWJbaqm
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!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TesvuppCX
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.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGVCiCKCOw
Vegeta: “Wait!”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVxi6aV6Ge
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.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38FO3UF0YD
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErIF4f66ZC
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpKEOZE8xh
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8BitaI7xF
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34t7EwpvQE
Kakarot: “This took a while to complete, but alas I've gained the opportunity to travel across worlds. So now, I have a few questions I want you to answer for me, eternal dragon!”

Shenron: “As you wish."
