Frieza: “I almost feel some guilt having to do this, I'm aware you were one of our more loyal ones, Bardock.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZHaAEcKVN
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjUNXR6Rz4
Zarbon: “My lord, shall I dispose of this trash?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxvHw3opJ6
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsS1rB0HdWX
Frieza departed from his space pod, heading towards Bardock directly. They came face to face, only a few feet apart.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr2rcP6NdF
Bardock: “Haaaa!!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci8hMZoDUN
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S1q2TcZWb
Frieza: “All your efforts couldn't even leave a mere scratch, but how dare you lay your filthy hands on me!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwlFxu7WD5
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThzB84lxyV
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNnAr3i5V5
A small pod zoomed past them from a considerable distance. Bardock watched it leave and smirked.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vdh7jcv74
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCVFeVEPWC
Frieza: “Well if that's your dying wish, then I shall consider it.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o7ixJKaFA
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJnIFxCJhr
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW5usvDgbJ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUMpH7bPDY
Frieza: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ushlZj0cG
Bardock: “Go Kakarot…. Be the warrior I never could and show the world who you are!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jGDF3yk48
Bardock, along with his planet, perished becoming one with the empty, infinite space.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55zykKflgj
“Your alliance has fallen, Commander. Teaming up with the government couldn't save you, you're out of options.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TXPsG1Aww
Commander Red: “You're..You're a monster!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9jJofgT3H
“The world brought this upon itself when it decided to turn on me and reject me. This war was all because of you!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5DEIuB2x0
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2jECwOI55
Kakarot crushed the severed head of an android that he held, with his bare hands.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFK7FAYJsW
Kakarot: “This world will never throw me aside again! For it now belongs to me! Kakarot!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFKxywClRi
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBkImTHEjU
“Damn it! The signal hasn't returned! Where are you? Kakarot!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQatdDFdyI
Kakarot gently landed from the air.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMvffDgZsR
Kakarot: “Bulma, it's over.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevXpun8UJZ
Bulma rushed towards him and greeted him with a tight hug.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmok53bAC8l
Bulma: “I thought something had happened to you! Your signal cut off!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay70hSMPXf
Kakarot returned the affection before acknowledging her concern.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMILocjjtZ
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBK9soHTT0r
Bulma looked down and sighed. Her grip on Kakarot loosened. Kakarot frowned, noticing her discomfort.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqdpsHqD2A
Kakarot: “What's wrong?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTdRvkR2d2
Bulma: “I'm grateful for our freedom, but don't you wish this all could have been different?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqctXPe2aU5
Kakarot: “I don't understand, what are you referring to?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlsyC9vdTs
Bulma: “We destroyed many lives for the better of our own. I'm not sure I'm allowed to celebrate this victory…”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivzj3DKA1p
Kakarot gently pulled her towards him, holding her by her hand.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCRUwzvzOk
Kakarot: “What matters today is that we get to live in peace. We can have a future together at last.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLu2sMYxBR
Bulma: “Yeah.. I guess you're right. The world is our's now, where do we even begin?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54RyxrahPn
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSQI67k25v
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfsDCwqZwv
Kakarot: “Here it is, just as you asked, the largest boar I could find.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5hAAyQ01c
Kakarot put down the carcass of the freshly hunted boar.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBhhGUvaH5
Bulma: “Hey! You're getting blood on the floor! Leave it somewhere else!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB16HuhqvK3
Kakarot: “Jeez, fine I'll leave it outside in the meantime.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxW2zaW8xg
Bulma shifted her focus back to her personal project she had been working on.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9djgI0iaM
Kakarot: “You've been cooped up here for a while, what exactly are you making?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1xhWW4P4P
Bulma: “It's a stretch, but have you ever wondered what lies beyond our world? Not just the galaxy but our universe as well.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5UYCHARSY
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qKptQxOMR
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcdCAB69VG
Kakarot: “So you're building a sort of vehicle I assume? What's that going to do?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxaW8yDj2p
Bulma: “You could tell it's a vehicle from this small progress alone?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fGxij8RII
Kakarot: “That's clearly an engine, not one from any current technology we have though. Okay..I confess, I occasionally tinker with your stuff.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk0pPdY3xG
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjSrFjt9CA
Kakarot: “You're still bent on this..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXfZJxymCf
Bulma: “I just can't fathom why it doesn't bother you as much! Don't you feel any remorse for what we did?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKbD7ax83U
Kakarot: “We did what we had to, I took no joy in it, but it's what had to be done.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpv5v80FGb
Bulma sighed and dropped her head.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bCwKZluFE
Bulma: “I should get to cooking that boar, I could use the break.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u1Bh1CRay
Kakarot: “Hm… Where's Beet?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg7oup6E2I
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxCgEtZJzI
Kakarot: “Looking for a good hunt I bet, I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAOWaJecFn
Beet: “Haaa!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOgrew2A5L
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu36OwA7rpP
Beet: “Darn! I should've picked a smaller one to challenge!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3z0XpZquV
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB6DKPWD87
Kakarot: “You've still got a lot to learn boy.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2aZNqPGjN
Beet: “You made it just in time sir!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QFmYjAF4W
Kakarot put his son down and faced the dinosaur.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPjM3lJ4zP
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-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVxpUS9w7U
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qp1oaT5Q7
Kakarot: “ …..If you take away its tail, it won't have anything left to defend itself with.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSifdXVb3vQ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmIy11ltRh
Kakarot: “Enough”!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV4X8YxsiX
Beet: “Huh?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFriMKvc2Y
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVV2k7rveg
Beet: “But sir, you've let me hunt animals before! What's so different now?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfy2G6PQEw
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZpwWzVH3X
Beet: “I'm sorry, sir.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWLxU04xgd
Kakarot: “Don't sweat it, let's head home already, we've got to help your mom prepare.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC9PaDzgS7
Beet: “Right!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrtLJE5NXx
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4aGtBCvd5
Bulma: “Honey, you're acting strange.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHvq4WqHvw
Kakarot: “I think my stomach is just upset from the boar. Maybe you didn't cook it right.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ2TZog3Af
Bulma: “Hey! If you're going to be ungrateful then maybe I'll just let you starve next time!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9NALrKRYf
Kakarot: “Nevermind.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3kStpjVbo
Bulma's irritation dissipated, lowering her tone into a more gentle manner. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeFxRE5BJH
Bulma: “If something is bothering you, you can always tell me.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1do4ID6p1S
Kakarot: “.... Doesn't this ever get stale to you? A similar routine every single day?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGhguWqIny
Bulma: “I get to spend the day with you and Beet, we finally have the peace we always wanted, that's enough for me.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySmeYh5oAd
Kakarot: “I just think we could be doing more. I could be doing more. Is this really where my life peaks?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4U2pdmC9V
Bulma: “Is it so wrong to simply settle down and enjoy the family you've built?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw3Nbw6cQW
Kakarot: “Perhaps helping Beet with his studies is getting to me.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq3nEsHpD4
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDm4C9wGef
Kakarot: “Yeah.. I'll just sleep it off.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVT9OJ1hjD
Bulma: “I love you.”

Somewhere on a nearby planet, an unforgettable nightmare was taking place. Three giant apes wreaked havoc upon the inhabitants of this world.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPSZXhFtkv
“We have no other option, it's time we surrender.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP61ERJC5AV
“But my lord! We've already lost so many! We can't give in to their chaos when we've gone this far!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87oVFEZuxE
“Only a fool would continue this struggle, if we surrender to their commands, at least our people will get to live another day. I'm sorry, Colonel, call off our men.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdvLnaeXrY
Colonel: “On it, my lord.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYk9vFhPmc
The Colonel clicked on a button on a device he had strapped to his ear. He hesitated to speak before giving his final order.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7gVP7eerq
Colonel: “Stand down boys, it's over..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ifEouY77i
The tension settled down as the apes reverted back into their natural forms.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScvVuJqLEZ
“I was starting to hope they'd just let us destroy all of them.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1QBtuXgIs
The king himself confronted the deadly trio.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ce9qAqyey
“King Tuffle, about time you come to your senses.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47znBAHidC
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh0HdIBQhb
“Hand me the device on your eye.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC9ux1xZ1r
The king hesitantly reached for the piece that rested on his ear and handed it over to the colonizer. He wore the device with a confident grin.

“Hey Raditz, we can finally track down your little brother with these huh? He may be a puny runt but another saiyan wouldn't hurt.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YwZDFCSBc
Raditz: “Yes, it's about time I pay him a visit!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWscoIgWJU
Bulma: “Pass me the wrench, Honey!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspTCG8HhB5
Kakarot: “Give me a minute, I'm fixing something up over here.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xv66FMdC8
Kakarot twisted a bolt with the wrench before handing it over.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6nrk87vaE
Bulma: “Thanks! It's kind of weird seeing you use these tools when you're strong enough to use your bare hands.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJAljyMXhh
Kakarot: “I guess it's just more comfortable this way, it also helps me stop myself from accidentally breaking something.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEjrXhPqLz
Bulma chuckled.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGYtikljKs
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Ojdzuwz8
Kakarot: “It helps me relax, and if you really want to do this, then I'll support you.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2aXnCdqjj
Bulma: “Where did this sweet attitude suddenly come from?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3uG7AFlV2
Beet: “Momm!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3cWrkqBcB
Bulma: “Hold that thought-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1hXq0rhaw
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTus1QDCLWW
Bulma: “My husband won't answer to you!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETefJPuC9Y
He rushed outside to inspect the commotion at hand.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9KXKrB8Fi
Raditz: “There you are, Kakarot. This pesky woman was making this more complicated than it had to be.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgbJdu5FOK
The saiyan stood his ground. He gently pushed his family behind him and confronted the strange visitor.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzvp3AyGBq
Kakarot: “Who are you? And how do you know my name?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWCw8tTKbk
Raditz approached his oblivious sibling.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZsgR480kY
Raditz: “There's no reason to be hostile-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUDIIOJDGK
Kakarot swung his fist towards Raditz's face. The saiyan moved his head out of the way with ease.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqsHSYV9Bc
Raditz: “You're testing my patience, Kakarot!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpuELjNVQp
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyoZIoiaH1
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnogY36VyPl
Kakarot: “Enough!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw4bmX7I3v
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tKjPJGrqq
Raditz: “Your attacks are not only slow, but predictable as well. You have the natural talent but you lack the proper training.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPM1wvZxbVL
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoFQpEjtVy
Kakarot: “I couldn't even see him get behind me!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhXCFgkXle
Kakarot wiped blood off of his lip as he struggled to get up off of the ground.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUCBw1L5dp
Beet: “Sir!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VJYVOpJLN
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ8M56zaxj
Bulma: “Beet!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiCQOlNPdV
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTz0nTMaig
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb23rbm6tce
Raditz: “Enough! You're stepping far out of your place! Fool!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYeWrKk5lg
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWuHwPLSHe
Raditz: “You're quite the hot headed bastard, little brother.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpGZuqHiZC
Kakarot: “What? Brother?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fqoN4mxs9
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMJbHIFh1j
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmdM1awMSO
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UrTNhnlGn
Raditz: “Why do you even care? Those scum tossed you aside when you needed them. Whatever happens to them shouldn't concern you.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CTugl0zbk
Kakarot: “Why are you here? Brother.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUfa75hqjy
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxVNZgpVpv
Kakarot: “Recruit me for what?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZXHHjZvcL
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtwlybToFS
Kakarot: “Forgive me, brother, but I can't do it.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9vBFJrJT6
Raditz: “Huh? Did you not just hear me? He took everything from us! His death must be by our hands!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAjnK1TTnM
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN9Bt1nKiO
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6gWiQnT35
Kakarot turned to his wife, awaiting her approval. Bulma looked away and sighed for a moment before speaking up.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwkqDq0vZ4
Bulma: “Just no more fighting between you two, got it?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1nqigs9p5
Raditz: “You have my word.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7bup4bTqa
Beet sat on a chair, pressing some ice against his cheek.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vcgIVapg8
Beet: “You hit really hard uncle!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYtOqdyQQP
He said in a mix of irritation and excitement.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5KooESKp7
Raditz: “Hehe, that's saiyan strength for you, brat!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqQ1C2geUO
Beet: “First Sir and now you, everyone is stronger than me! Well, except mom.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQEd4jECUP
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ6TNwTOB9
Beet: “Heck yeah!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh24R5660Y
Raditz chuckled.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkTb6vifDA
Beet: “You've left that plate sitting there for a while now, uncle. Aren't you going to pick it up?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKU5s5AN68
Raditz: “Why would I do that? Isn't that what your mother is here for?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRElp1h2Ge
Beet: “Well, my parents say it's good manners to pick up after yourself once you're done eating.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACO6dXRbre
Raditz: “You earthlings have bizarre customs.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ozfZXuyqr
Bulma: “Beet! It's bed time, you got school tomorrow!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTh7Pr809B
Beet: “But mom! It's still early, I wanna talk to uncle Raditz!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowF0l9Wcfr
Bulma: “I said get to bed! Now!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6siPcucHi
Beet: “Sorry uncle, I gotta go.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4uLVczcHb
Raditz: “Don't sweat it, kid, listen to your mother.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqu4ESbsDy
Beet marched into his room. Bulma pulled Kakarot close to her, speaking to him in a soft voice.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK08qwgXqe
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPPM64AS1l
Kakarot: “I’ll be fine, you go rest.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCGljZ8KSx
They shared a kiss before parting ways. Kakarot approached his brother. They sat together in the living room, sharing an awkward silence.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjrq5jz3Ts
Raditz: ‘I see you got yourself a tough woman, little brother. Hehe, just how us saiyans like em!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNS9MeiFgoD
Kakarot: “That explains a lot..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO50yyyjJr
Raditz took a deep breath.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CLoDIO5CY
Raditz: “Follow me outside, little brother.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfoyPQ3dOt
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjJOT6fomM
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJCQOCK2A4
Kakarot looked down at his fist in shame.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgBwkFPQmw
Raditz: “You feel it don't you, a calling greater than this piss poor excuse of a life you live.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK1aNzuFFI
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nKhkHG5tM
Raditz: “That's your saiyan spirit, your saiyan pride! Take advantage of it, it's your greatest weapon.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKUBnTcQlt
Kakarot looked out into the starry, night sky.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvjiDXxxHA
Kakarot: “How many of us are left out there?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHtAouczuH
Raditz: “Including you and I, there's four.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4ruPoLyFp
Kakarot: “By any chance, is one of them our father?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yjZ1JB1tp
Raditz: “I'm afraid not.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHVsXdbwgm
Kakarot: “Did you know him?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1C6ABwCBN
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIW6v2auYC
Kakarot: ‘Yeah… Maybe I do.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M5Ib5jv67
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgVCz3Dcjm
Kakarot: “The prince?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02q0PCbtMp
Raditz: ‘I'll fill you in tomorrow, go rest, we have a long day ahead of us.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zPeqLUvjX
They descended from the sky and retreated back inside to sleep. The day couldn't have come sooner as Raditz prepared to depart.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetf2nfjgaL
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMF5C1HUWT
Kakarot: “You don't understand, this is my fight. That tyrant has to pay for what he did to my people.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XEci2glbh
Bulma: “They're not your people! They're colonizers! You're not like them!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG4Bd5a5FD
Kakarot: “….”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutP9oBGYs3
Bulma: “We're your people! Beet, me, our friends from the city!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HOjchYhnK
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobwMeGXB74
Bulma hesitated to reply.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFesGIBJtvu
Kakarot: “Please, let me have this. I wanted a greater purpose, and I feel like this is it. I promise I'll return safely.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmSurkZQlV
Bulma: “Please, be careful, Kakarot.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFb7Su9IOf
The pair shared a quick kiss before separating. Beet rushed to his father.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyvwSqvK1U
Beet: “Sir!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3jTmxAKPY
He came face to face with his father.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PldfV5dIJ
Beet: ‘Sir, please be back soon. I'll miss you.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXvCt1gFFP
Kakarot gently patted his son's head and crouched to face him directly.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcsuyJ2Ozt
Kakarot: “I'll be back before you know it, listen to your mother and look after her for me, okay?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cm220V2GC
Beet: “Yes! Sir.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJ8P03cS5z
Kakarot retreated back to his brother.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8BrJk30GG
Raditz: “Are you ready?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG6NdaMb6O
Kakarot: “Yeah, take me to the others.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabU5Xfp9yH
Raditz: “It was a pleasure meeting you all, I'll bring him back in one piece haha!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0ECmFo00a
The brothers entered their pods, taking off into the vast space. Raditz communicated with his brother through a radio device within their pods.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjbxPlOUkU
Raditz: “It's more comfortable than it looks huh?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZAGrymx9k
Kakarot: “Definitely. Tell me, brother, what are the others like?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbavkrBm2No
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbbp7fnMRH
Kakarot: “They sound amazing.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs4gvEAb5W
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.’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEEqRVusJ6
Kakarot: “I can't deny, I am a bit excited.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTnldS1q8g
Raditz: “That's the spirit!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdNN1i01ee
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0i0GbeJYA
Kakarot: “You must be the prince, it's an honor to meet you.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS48BGgYRr
Vegeta: “You knew me before I even got to introduce myself, quite bizarre.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cDfAcJMbK
Kakarot: “I guess the introduction was unnecessary, from just taking a look at you, I sensed it.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqDbPrCw67
The prince glanced at the humble warrior, before kicking his face, landing him flat on his back.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfRGa8Maz6
Vegeta: “Stand up, boy. We're all warriors, are we not? Have some pride, don't ever lower your head to no one!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVTRVqebep
Nappa: “Looks like the rookie is off to a bad start! Haha!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wDPEmWnwN
Kakarot rubbed his face, he was confused for a brief moment but soon understood the prince's intentions and abided to his command.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3k8yKIVld
Vegeta: “Follow us, we'll fill you in inside the… battle station.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqE7vmPMWT
The prince hesitated.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeLtBGodLQ
Vegeta: “Remind me again why we went with that name?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjP9FFgBDG
Nappa: “Haha, you see Raditz, I told you “Court Room” would've sounded much better!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvbhaKXaM4
Raditz: “Oh shut up you bald freak! Battle station is a fitting name!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPJiccNHXL
Nappa: “Hey now! Don't come for my looks! Your freakishly long hair would make anyone want to go bald!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCmIpvgOVw
Vegeta: “Pipe down boys, save that energy for the sparring session.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMgcJssyxu
Kakarot nudged his brother's shoulder. Raditz turned to his brother.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeMk1aeR5B
Kakarot: “When I was at war with the earthlings, my wife and I referred to our base as the “Battle Station.”’
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3zorSCOF0
He quietly mentioned. Raditz smirked.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ8CpwR35y
Raditz: “I knew you'd understand!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VCuHN0UML
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEwYoWScrW
Vegeta: “I'm sure Raditz already let you in on some of the details, correct?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVpZJ1QlRL
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYLdnehts6
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DkXgtrx8j
Kakarot: “Understood. So, where do we begin?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ5AruqKxy
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvAILBbfqg
Kakarot: “If they don't submit, what happens then?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx5roeABNN
Nappa: “What is this weirdo babbling about? We kill them of course!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rFujDhhAU
Kakarot: “Is it.. really necessary?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3vVixagk1
Nappa: “You can't be serious!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z8vOWtYTo
Vegeta: “Raditz, may I speak with you, in private?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8aI6nqBPX
Raditz: “Yes, prince.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKxaZMfM0H
The two stepped out for a moment, leaving everyone else in suspense.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFzU0s2dfh
Nappa: “Looks like someone's in trouble haha!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvquPOXB5be
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIF65NAyzT
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R3LlR6GPS
Vegeta: “As you wish. I trust you won't let me down.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTBSL4bENi
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwaN9owi9m
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlG7wjQRmt
The group retreated from their meeting room and headed outside. Kakarot caught up to his older brother and spoke with a troubled tone.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7LxVo9Oox
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BJniPN1cr
Raditz: “I'm sure you had to get your hands dirty to conquer your world. Why is this any different?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mgcj1uLfi
Kakarot: “I fought for my freedom, not for meaningless violence!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhQ91pplca
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUJQ2QL5H0
Kakarot: “Well, it makes sense when you put it that way.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5fUXv9jOM
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fbW9LXVgu
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9fNnJEQE9
Kakarot: “Now that you mention it, I can't contain the excitement. I heard Vegeta mention something about sparring.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFxILTV1Vu
Raditz: “Oh yes, we have a special room for sparring.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYahKVotb8
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC3dNjwtNN
Raditz: “I see, well, we can spare a few minutes before we depart from this planet. Let's get it on!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKvPD8RiCh
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI5fjqQ8FY
Powerful shock waves swept surrounding rubble into the air. A few more shockwaves shook the area before Kakarot came tumbling to the ground.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5YZbqoXYY
Raditz: “You're improving faster than I imagined.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8NX7m2mxC
Kakarot: “Hmph, I can't say it doesn't bother me that you have to hold back just for me to keep up.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhZTOypz0e
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgLi0o2Sm1
Kakarot: “What do you have in mind?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS1PKbV148
Raditz: “Watch and learn, baby bro!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAT8sdseXz
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMANa9cWLy
Kakarot: “What was that?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf35YCgsE0v
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGXoBjcwhX
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3lwl5lgVy
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2JaxtaPfZ
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d0zuhwHu6
Raditz: “You're quite odd for a saiyan if I'm being honest.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY1sMdtwCj
Kakarot: “I guess I just feel like I owe it to them after everything we've been through.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1wTlMReJJ
Raditz: “I'm starting to feel like this dream of peace of yours isn't living up to the expectations you had in mind.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlqCR1JoXi
Kakarot: “You know, I really thought coming here with you guys would have cured this sensation, but I still can't shake the feeling.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1F51Yhn8z
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdDb666Ntq
Kakarot: “If you say so..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn7nggFuFi
“Raditz, Kakarot.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsLib7Le4Y
A voice called out from the scouter on Raditz's eye.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyTRrmhmOK
Raditz: “Vegeta, we're on our way! Kakarot, it's time to go.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuaDKPfK41
Kakarot nodded and followed his brother. They headed to their pods, where the other two saiyans awaited next to their own.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXszcb6s2j
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SZhFUEugQ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOklA6tPUS
Vegeta: “What the hell? Did the Tuffles lie to us?”

Nappa wiped sweat off of his head.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyUU4MeZyJ
Nappa: “The heat over here is unbearable! It's if we were directly in the sun!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHzBG5xPw1
Raditz: “Those schemers must've planned this to buy some time for some counter plan!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeQOqrRdam
Kakarot examined the ground. A few pebbles and some rubble trembled off the ground. He felt a subtle shake.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX3MocBLpR
Kakarot: “Something's coming from beneath us!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJdqa5ec4N
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlICJufu6qb
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBTBvd6YIR
The creatures remained in a suspended animation-like state. Vegeta's eyebrow twitched in irritation.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLDrtdHn3h
Vegeta: “These incompetent fools are mocking us!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96wmEEdRmu
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwrUpHHri4
“Your foot is on my tail!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6WrSZQZr7
“Your tail shouldn't be there then!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq0sCCh1L7
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssTdjX9dID
Raditz: “These numbskulls are nothing but barbaric creatures that give into their primal urges. They're useless to us!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4EAMVs5UB
Vegeta: “Hmph.. Well, not entirely. Kakarot!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeN8bM2kLU
Kakarot: “Yes, Vegeta?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qdPrIWEJp
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9LxPzGi8D
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqrSgRSmGx
Raditz: “What? Got cold feet all of a sudden?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpvfAGXaIu
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyDZyTcx4P
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBdeRtONLN
Kakarot couldn't dare to face his brother in the eyes. The guilt he felt knowing Raditz was right was overwhelming.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXJchQ4wER
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0cVNEmgpY
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b6uhvRvz7
Vegeta: “You're starting to seem like a real saiyan. Don't get too cocky though, always watch your blind spot.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8EOt9PaWy
Kakarot smiled.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzXQymfAXr
Kakarot: “Understood!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVf8PtXuAr
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrflEGyZVI2
Vegeta: “What the hell?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoV9a0iQ8D
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwmT9TIkuR
Nappa: “Could that be, Amaterazu?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb3eguZTge
“I am Modora! The most powerful of the Tatsu race! No one wreaks havoc upon MY planet without getting through me!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBKpAfre0s
Raditz: “Looks like we got ourselves an even larger hot head. He won't do us any better than the rest.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4JH0IO75C
Kakarot: “I'll fight him!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYu3M6YhP0
Everyone turned to Kakarot in surprise.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyrCTN01ks
Kakarot: “I'm not done fighting! He'll be MY opponent!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1GAzRlicW

Modora: “You'll be my first victim then, give me your worst!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgYy1VGqGt
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvx0P1pBJnO
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyBzZGqHyl

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhnfXnsUyJ

Nappa: “Poor runt, his first big shot is against someone out of his league, hehe, what a shame.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElujPgT4Dm
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF84jWwjBiE
Kakarot: “Come on now, don't back down so soon!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcLRJ5hq0a
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfoM08jOar
The elite's scouter scanned the low class warrior, revealing the shocking revelation that his power had shot up drastically.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxuyfCezp
Vegeta: “It looks like he's putting on quite the spectacle.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn4mOuzMZI
Raditz watched in disbelief. He questioned the situation, pondering about it in his mind.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f1g6vowTA
Raditz: “He's not just getting stronger, he's improving too. He never demonstrated this level of proficiency before!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZM5O7FlMM
Modora huffed, taking a moment to catch his breath. Kakarot used the opportunity to catch a break as well.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh4xtqbZ7f
Modora: “All that and you still can't finish me, I think it's about time I bury you!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPEhSq4lkW
Kakarot: “So it's come to this point at last. I've been anticipating this moment!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9xpTGOOs3
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexCpnQJwCd
Kakarot: “This will be your funeral!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fshBxlXn3
Modora lowered his hand, shooting down a burst of fire.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW7JS7fAGS
Modora: “Deadly incineration!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXlUAy00a5
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAq8YS7gTor
Raditz: “You sly little bastard, looks like you came up with your own move.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM13BXGYzF

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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt639oKGbv
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjYVbtUbTW

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaQbE7FtgG
Kakarot: “Huh?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdibG6Mg0y
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCEglXWXD3
Raditz: “Why you!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO9Z5p2x5T
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCoZI0jsbT
Raditz: “Kakarot! Answer me!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANNSA3sAWt

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ADUJ7OPye
Raditz: ‘Right!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCegdoELVr

Raditz: “Pipe down little man, you're fine. It's a common occurrence with us.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HNdO5levN
Raditz remained composed but his thoughts quickly ate away at him.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gMqvTPNin
“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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyGx3iQqYV
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCQObb6dN6
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxle7FgozW
Raditz: “I'm positive.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8PfPPXzml
Doctor: “Well, it looks like his body has recovered enough to dismiss any urgent treatment.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlswtLNcmx6
Raditz: “I see, that's all then I guess. I'll be making my way out. Make sure he gets everything he needs.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4Aeg4TqxD
Doctor: “I will sir.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7KQLA79pt
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ath4uQ7U
Raditz: “You're awake, it's about damn time.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfsFXTTlHD

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfYQEzU1Wk

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRWIbrILsB

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpXwXIUmUH

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M990M4BzA

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMfKZFGx9q
Raditz: “Haha! Don't get too ahead of yourself now, you still need more to catch up to me.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEnmViNVA4
Kakarot: “When is our next crusade?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdcE4lP5H0
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUXGuAFh5o
Kakarot: “If that's the case…perhaps we could stay on earth, don't you think? It could make the perfect base!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGmpPkkApB
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQO8DWxVz8
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4oMgj5h7c
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZcQq2gBkT
Kakarot: “Are you saying you never loved a woman?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITlO9EGU1O
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlOxtonNEd
Kakarot: “It seems I still have a lot to learn about our traditions huh?”

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWWnJV0VoM

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLNZxWsE4v

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebZDuNC3dQ

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt53Zr6qdN

Kakarot: “You know I'll always keep you guys safe, but I'm done rejecting my wishes, my calling.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSLX1YwlCV

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmIQYKXTjI
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoiyQXu3b2
Beet: “Sir! What's going on over there?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpvX5KTiem
Kakarot: “It's… renovation. Our new family is settling in. It will all be fine when it's over okay?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h5EAqIb3Q
Beet: “But they look scared, Sir.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU45thwVncy
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1siSh06tM
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNvAFc6NeL

Vegeta: “So, you're the son of Kakarot. He was conceived with an earth woman, am I right?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62GsEVDpyO
Kakarot: “Yes, that's right. That would make him a half blooded saiyan if I'm not mistaken.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AIHSVMZhX
Vegeta: “What a shame, he won't have the full might of a pure blooded saiyan, the crossbreeding seems to have been successful however. Earth is the perfect ground to repopulate our race!”

Vegeta: “I have a little theory, but I'm not sure I want the rest to find out if it does end up being true. I'm trusting you with this.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWOtx9Qdhw
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm okay with using my nephew as an experiment…”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8k6zBg3F8
Vegeta: “Don't tell me your brother's earthling values are rubbing off on you, Raditz.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkYTBN0DMT
Raditz: “No. Of course not..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB56k0P0NdA
Vegeta: “Then do as I say, prove to me you're deserving of the position I've been offering you.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA69s3je19q
Raditz: “I will..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8HaH35pgu
Raditz turned to his comrades.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcJpm87TWe
Raditz: “I will be taking Beet into the battle chamber. You're all excused to leave.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeb55nRwgW
Kakarot: “Hold on! I can't just let you take my son without me!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw43vXG3bB
Vegeta: “Calm down, boy. This is the reason I asked to meet him. Besides, it's in our tradition to not question our superiors.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpw4poYPID
Raditz put his hand on his brother's shoulder.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm4yrCwwq9
Raditz: “He'll be okay, think of it as special training.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAcGEVSZnn
Kakarot hesitantly nodded.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjuDX5pDGA
Kakarot: “Go with your uncle, Beet. Have fun, okay?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEfoEkRkJD
Beet: “I will, Sir!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lRHftokem
Kakarot: “I'll be outside.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v8l28F2M7
Beet: “Okay!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M1PMccCyq
Raditz: “C'mon now, let's go.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO8pC0AiFk
Beet followed his uncle into the training room.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjUklwfLPN
Raditz: “That's pathetic! You can do better than that!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxt1C1I2JX
Beet forced his legs up. He wiped blood off of his lips.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB3Sr3oUDq
Beet: “I'm going to be strong, like you and Sir!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhcxRztGnt
The boy lunged himself forward, giving his uncle everything he had. Raditz smacked him away with a backhand.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ACxEDGWm
Raditz: “You're nothing but a runt, you'll never be like your father.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuk83Js3FT
Beet: “Th-That's! …Not trueeee!!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdUBkLiMIA
Beep! Beep! Beep!!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfTQ9bi45v
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCQhGTpBK6
Raditz: “That's… Impossible!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXIV1Gtl63
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqI2DXucxV
Raditz: “That's enough, pipsqueak. I'll take you back to your father alright?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1iZEO9AEb
Beet: “O-Okay.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzswO3Gmbi
Beet collapsed to the ground. Raditz lifted his nephew and returned him to his father.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDozoIatue
Kakarot: “What happened?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8eeUEhw6O
Raditz: “The boy is fine. Head home Kakarot, take the day off.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJFj2p3kiR
Kakarot: “What about the settlement? Won't you guys need my assistance? I know this place better than you all.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBBCDyazRA
Raditz: “We can take it from here, just go.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6jl9YpLc8
Kakarot: “Fine.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4QiDMXofZ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU0MbZpZTN
“What could he want with that boy? Should I tell Kakarot?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbCuaCvEKw
He snapped out of his head upon reaching the Prince.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTfoLPd9f4
Raditz: “Vegeta, I've gotten a proper measure of his strength.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzbCFhnGyt
Vegeta: “What did the scouter say?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsj4wQCeGj
Raditz: “It… It exceeded 10,000..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSYIYgomg3
Vegeta: “It looks like my suspicions were correct after all.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpuAPu8VNi
Raditz: ‘What's going on? I don't understand what you're getting out of all this!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeVCs9ts8s
Vegeta: “You know it's not tradition to question me, Raditz.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib58ujgQI2
Raditz: “I'm sorry, Prince.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvlBtWfSQC
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNYAp0aEky
Raditz: “I swear on everything, I'll remain loyal to you and only you!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9jaXmIXrO
Vegeta: “Good. Keep the following between us then. I had a slight suspicion that the hybrid could actually be STRONGER than a full blood.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBYTvinMKI
Raditz: “But how is that even possible? With such weak genetics, wouldn't it only bring a saiyan down?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhSGCkestF
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvjPIMQDxD
Raditz: “You mislead the rest to save your reputation then?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9saP5TpGF
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR1Sk5LubX
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux6clQJXuJ
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipK2lnShPk
Raditz: “Understood.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QkMjWyOre
Vegeta: “You're dismissed.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyU96LZRBM
Raditz departed from the room.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5q03iLVXm
“Haaaa”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYr1bQgOf4
An explosion erupted. A warrior with battle armor and a spear went flying from the impact. He slammed to the ground and laid unconscious.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrYvMGleZG
Raditz: “Nice one, brother! Don't forget what I taught you.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAqhd1mVnl
Kakarot: “Right.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qmQ8jCLXP
Kakarot lifted the defeated warrior from his head and blasted a hole through his chest with an energy attack.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFDaS2VwMG
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent. I won't make that same mistake again.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqwbPk7hRT
Raditz: “As it should be! Glory comes from victory and victory isn't certain until your opponent is eliminated permanently!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5lqRXbLDc
Kakarot: “A lot of talking, brother! Let's get back to fighting!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0wo200DIK
Raditz: “Hehe, you rascal.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwsqHWSCRB
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRU7iFfH5X
Kakarot: “Bulma, I'm home. Prepare me a nice meal, why don't you?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDoFYDg6lt
Bulma: “I made some miso soup earlier, enjoy the leftovers.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqN0rMpTH3
Kakarot: “What's with the attitude?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkE5QmWO2T
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2rGQeQHrF
Kakarot: “We're not having the conversation again!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLSGnncJU1
Bulma: “We'll have it as many times as we need to until you get your act right!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDYZncnWL2
Kakarot stared at her in silence. Beet entered the room, returning from outside. He instantly caught on to the tension between his parents.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUcFWaF4eH
Beet: “Is everything okay?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRNueixT9Y
Kakarot: “Yeah, we're all good.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhZlThlsGo
He replied, still staring at his clearly upset wife.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvluYZlXmVE
Beet: “I'm not dumb! I know you guys are fighting again! Why? Why can't you guys just get along like before?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtwypm09ek
Bulma: “Sweetie, we aren't fi-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSrTigqhpl
Beet: “You're lying! Stop lying! I miss you, Sir, stay home today, please?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC1dnQi7Gj
Kakarot frowned before nodding his head.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahKRW26buB
Kakarot: “Fine. Fine, I'll spend the night, okay?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R1Y0cwql6
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjr1W8lS27
Bulma: “You just couldn't help yourself, huh?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSyOECVP9S
Kakarot turned around.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqZvx1HmV6
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9jdbpaqw0
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6KQMw5a5N
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfLwDYZjXb
Kakarot: “I couldn't possibly forget.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr1pR0sZ6l
Bulma: “We looked out for each other ever since. We loved each other! Where did that go?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzC0hugm1I
Kakarot remained silent. He simply frowned.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU7RpFn4a0
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMq27RWX3K
Kakarot: “Hmph… I've recently been wondering why I still bother to stop by here myself.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkGcBEkWeb
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgpIIpvuBn
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUohrNXVxBF
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT2K3lU1cg
Colonel: “Yes? Prince?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvvEt1UQsF
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsCbzYeNBM
Colonel: “Understood…Sir.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFGZ1S41BB
Kakarot tapped his brother's shoulder.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTXN58ieJ9
Kakarot: “Are you excited? Brother?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SNSnnjO8S
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveMsQHxRmL
Kakarot: “Right!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG8n0yRtyy
Vegeta: “Kakarot.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1jvtHwe4q
Kakarot: “Yes?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86ORmntHOy
Vegeta: “You'll be with Nappa and I.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qC0Jl6JJH
Kakarot: “Oh, w-wow! It is an honor, Prince Vegeta!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwwshhDFUA
Raditz: “Huh? But you said I'd take that role!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI5gogMZwL
Vegeta: “Kakarot surpassed you a while ago, I'm not taking risks with an inferior saiyan.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZbiYGbLY2
Raditz clenched his fists. He gave his brother a spiteful glare before taking a few breaths.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAYvcppCWd
Raditz: “As you wish, Prince. I'll take Kakarot's task.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVpXsM00xS
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEJVTKA0Gd
Raditz: “I'll see you all later.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM0wKoTXyO
Kakarot: “Raditz!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx03rqOcFg7
Raditz turned to his brother.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNqRap7YDD
Kakarot: “Be careful.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N1VUg8sZ3
Raditz: “Right..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8OooxcIf1
Raditz took off with his pod.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJoB6id2Py
“Someone is entering the atmosphere!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzolRdkf6k6
“Let me take a look.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPzH9SYbvG
Beep! Beep! Beep!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5DvyrlGTb
“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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFgqiQPxH2
Zarbon approached the landing vehicle. The pod met its destination and out came Raditz from inside.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPPnwYFQTI
Raditz: “Greetings, Zarbon.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8YsrvYdvR
He bowed in respect.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BExzfcHHT
Zarbon: “At least you know your place.. State your business, saiyan!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvuLl6WZw4
Raditz: “The prince would like to speak with the lord.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtGkvK2n1p
Zarbon: “You know he can't come barging in on such short notice! Especially since our lord is quite busy right now.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMGRBFsj8k
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAdh7RTOFL
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJOUDBcInl
Raditz: “As you wish.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXQq1PlGKw
Zarbon signaled for him to stand and follow his lead.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNVMstggz8
Nappa: “So once he gives the signal, we make our move?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtN11sZVIx
Vegeta: “Precisely.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOplgvys93
Nappa: “What exactly is the signal?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5uDZjXszB
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcdRqbh5vE
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE9FaYmDZ3
Zarbon took his leave.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59jOjwJ5nQ
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW1hnzRI1E
Raditz sat patiently, noticing one of the guards peeping at him. He turned his gaze to the guards direction.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDFvzwPFFV
Raditz: “Ya got a problem? Fool!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoWZVLOXHt
Guard: “You won't be this bold when Lord Frieza arrives!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKYjvdkSmp
Raditz chuckled.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiPShqhh5t
Raditz: “Yeah. We'll see.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsSgutTtZI
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8RKObvK4T
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd5fjLAki5
Beep! Beep! Beep!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhzy1vfzOs
Raditz: “He's here…”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwRotiQhsJ
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwtB1clk6c
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzf4h5dGEM
Vegeta: “It's time! Let's end this!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fgNcBx2lO
The saiyans commenced their transformation as their ship rapidly approached the planet's atmosphere.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwQBtv772J
Zarbon: “I warned you, saiyan!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Hw7Ue0gxK
Raditz: “It's too late now, pretty boy! Frieza is finished!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmwn7P0gJK
Dodoria entered the room with a sinister laugh. Raditz’s eyes widened, he felt his soul leave his body for a moment.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H2sj0IaWf
Dodoria: “Surprised to see me?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ePuk37ko6
Raditz: “N-No! This can't be!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjI0rtLSVc
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY8rB6Zs86
Vegeta: “Hehe.. That fool never saw it coming!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW8eWv31rY
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiVHFyiEA1
Vegeta: “Here lies the foolish emper- What?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEXGgTS0pR
Vegeta desperately searched through the remains.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYYcdlA5I4
Nappa: “What's wrong? Vegeta?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XAgNcPX5a
Vegeta: “This ship… I-It's a decoy!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdOjpmyJTz
Kakarot: “What! That means-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrls6RU28U
“Quite the bold attempt I must say. You know, I knew you'd turn on me one day, Vegeta.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNdyU7VD1v
Vegeta: “Frieza!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvm8WGQ86Z
Dodoria: “Looks like your little plan didn't go out as you expected!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyjD6P6Ybl
Raditz: “Damn it!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzIfAMrjL6
Zarbon: “Do us all a favor and don't resist. You know it'll only end up being futile in the end.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulzhNb5PgX
Raditz: “I guess I don't got a choice huh?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbk6oo7i3iL
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwpW1ubiip
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDnEeWad0J
Vegeta: “No! It's not over! Not yet! We'll just have to destroy you the old fashioned way.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgs6imvPwz
Frieza: “I'd love to see how that plays out.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtinv3rMcot
Dodoria: “Rrraaaaa!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6o6gqRAFP
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzvl2Wu19r
Raditz: “Eat this! Weekend!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWenVhXUsIQ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeT0aDF0LIr
Dodoria: “What the hell? How did he get so powerful? Something must be wrong!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfLzOqKwbM
Zarbon: “Let me check the scouter.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt9HpmUoKW
Beep! Beep! Beep!
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhfFIpnHIX
Zarbon: “N-No way!”

Zarbon: “His power level is 35,000!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSSMOq6GyG
Dodoria: “But Raditz has always been a weakling! How is that possible?!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hg939NU1f
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcnbzPT2i0
Dodoria: “Oh great, first I get showed up by some low class saiyan, and now I have to work with you. Just my luck.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd2xH82JTQ
Zarbon: “I'm not so thrilled to fight alongside someone as repulsing as you either.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxfAwkYtPw
Dodoria: “Whatever, let's get this over with!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjwOPOqcYd
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.

Raditz: “I can't take them both like this. I have to get rid of one of them first.”

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqxz4hFVOw
Dodoria: “Why you!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTHsOiEpTC
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW6K7mmOXD
Raditz: “Got somethin in your eyes?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzCklHYhP0
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwe6IfcZJH
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPGHHbCBol

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbUW0wPhR5
Frieza: “Ho! Ho! Ho! Give it your best shot, monkey.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FU8Foujc4
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeswfqvxGJ
Frieza: “Haaa!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2SndBXCyu
The tyrant blew away his surroundings with his explosive power, relieving himself from Vegeta's pressure.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoKbXunGuq
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXSi29IXMl
Vegeta: “So you concede to my might?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPGIGBzzOq
Frieza: “No, no. On the contrary, this is the perfect opportunity to get in a good workout. Consider this a privilege, Vegeta. You're the first to see this form.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOuuNzSr1V
Vegeta: “Huh?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyfFZXR4da

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH7XJHal82
Raditz: “Ggaaahhh!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wjlw6KDTb
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTLBwl41aB
Zarbon: “Haha! You're starting to wear out, saiyan!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKU2O9ZzIMg
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXbeewkOv0
Raditz detonated a ki blast in front of the 2 of them, creating a blinding smoke cloud. He ascended higher into the air.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoN8wOftZx
Raditz: “Scatter Shot!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlPqRbZkYq
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.

Zarbon: “I think we've been at this game long enough!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvh1EQo4p7

Frieza: “Haaaaaaa!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0t66acry7
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWyoC0GnvV
Frieza: “Sorry for the wait, you'll soon find out it was worth the suspense.”

Vegeta: “You've had a power up like this all along, and we never knew…”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMTiLe1RC6
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBllBBkAsD
Kakarot: “Vegeta! We can't cave into the pressure! We must see this till the very end!”

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcBP8PDUxT
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLWCMcmpuZ
Raditz: “Frieza's off guard, this is our chance!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIVkOy9txd
He charged an attack with all of his might and shot a blast from his mouth towards the tyrant.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJPcQexbec

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0q51CstJ0

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZZoddtfyo
Without further hesitation, the others hit Frieza with an all out blast of their own, caught in between two powerful attacks, the mighty emperor suffered a devastating blow. The smoke cleared and Frieza collapsed to his knees.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMoMpBQzeJ
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeER89x4vYI
Frieza stood and chuckled. His irritation faded away, shifting into a sinister smile.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2mDiUQyET
Frieza: “I'll spare you the suspense. I guess I must reveal my truest form off the bat!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oxbZIMgQ6
Kakarot: “Not again!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUz2or3Tmp
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvwBNYb5IW
Vegeta: “Quick! We must turn into great apes while we still have the chance!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvnsLv2Q7x

Frieza: “You had your chance, monkeys. Now it's my turn!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX8Oj2EGDv
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGOw1NPvGO
Kakarot: “Look out!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3o4kQkZP2
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEYeMMKW4U

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcRQASbI2M
The loyal saiyan drew his final breath, succumbing to his injury.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeosClNvg6
Kakarot: “He gave his all simply for a better chance at securing our victory. The least we could do is give nothing but our all to the very end!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNxyuQBNun
Frieza: “What? Were you all left petrified by my power?”

Kakarot: “I'm about to show you exactly who I am!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn41glJLO9H
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrVHkekK4T
Frieza: “Done playing around yet? Vegeta?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx9vyfDDr4
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGPML46ho8
Raditz: “Double Sunday!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLplXPJSZkw
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkdtOfGJse
Raditz: “I-I can't move!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfv0Ij3IsK

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u9I7SNq4y
Kakarot burst out into the scene out of nowhere, and swung at Frieza with a kick. Frieza barely managed to evade the attack.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2nMftDDPl
Frieza: “You again!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8KNzy4WGH
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluj1XgFuds
Frieza: “You actually made me raise my guard. Interesting.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsezbPqQoJp
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPC7FRsxpT
Frieza: “What? I don't understand! There's something different about you!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVjLovM4x2
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9m0TXci9Q
Frieza: “You dare lay your hands on me!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLAcJmj4TK
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS7jJYe4pJ
Frieza: “This isn't right! I broke you! I felt it in every attack! You shouldn't even be standing!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVHq1ZBjdZ
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJWx3vjTTg
Raditz: “Is that really him?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtSJbvGZxK
Kakarot: “F-Friezaaaa!!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1y1p5p6Xt
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe99KEr4A5N
Frieza: “No! No!! You're… the super saiyan! There's no other explanation for this!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUicEybKDKO
Raditz poked a button on his scouter.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql8Sk5F8Hy
Raditz: “Vegeta! Is what I'm hearing true? Has Kakarot truly become a super saiyan?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1RhaseNgJ
Vegeta was snapped out of a trance.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWMFQ8Wtle
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSftiGOrkFO
Raditz: “But how does that even happen?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6i2gLGfej
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0oRr5vMha
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYnXoA6mTS
Frieza: “I'll just have to wipe you out along with this planet!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0uTNFoBk6
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mDRqQBlHg
Vegeta: “Galick Gun…Fire!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cwpaloATG
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJsso8Gv9y
Frieza: “You've asked for it! This is my full power!! Haaa!!”

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW4J7HeZRS
Vegeta: “It's still not enough!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHZQYHit4e
A projectile darted to Frieza's head, slightly discombobulating him.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerlUg27IBU
Colonel: “This is the last chance we'll have! Get him!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIRYXLXO3E
“Haaaaaa!!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSj0zd9AO4k
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.

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjdCLh266z
Kakarot rushed to his brother, preparing to follow up his beat down. Raditz caught his balance and leaped into the air, escaping him momentarily.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx3d1hIH6t
Raditz: “Kakarot! It's me! Raditz! I know you're in there!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLulpgIpevT

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsd2R7ognj

276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHEmAFkaFG
Raditz: “Stay back! V-Vegeta! I c-can handle this!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEgPvQRNUP
Kakarot squeezed his head, attempting to crush it entirely.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSWbc29F0z
Raditz: “K-Kakarot… Don't do this! Your boy, your woman! They're waiting for you back home! P-Please Kakarot! It's me, your brother!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFb5BKFlmG
Kakarot's grip loosened but he continued to hold his brother in a lethal position.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbFbY2iDUW
Raditz: “Fight for your consciousness, brother! You can overcome your overwhelming power and make it yours!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR7mAVmAFT

Frieza: “Don't just toss me aside like some insignificant trash, you bastards!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuHOKNKzpf
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa2O6QmdHz
Frieza: “You… That look… It's starting to seem familiar..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJnj2IDciH
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWtJm6a7Dp
Frieza: “You're… No! But I killed him! Wait.. that means you're-”

Kakarot: “My name.. is Kakarot! And in the name of the saiyan race, I'm going to send you straight to hell!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2fU6gG54s
Kakarot finished Frieza with a blast that disintegrated every last remnant of him.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNISvo8yYa
Kakarot: “It's done…”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb75Of3JelE
Raditz: “He he he, Ha! Ha! Ha! We've won!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQRn5WykFG
Vegeta ascended into the air.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEHX2QQxDu
Vegeta: “Everyone! Listen up! Frieza is dead! Head back to the ship! I'll finish the rest!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lDLnaFeGO
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3qSyfSATt
Colonel: “Prince Vegeta! What about the survivors? I thought the plan was to end every last one!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmTgTZRChc
Vegeta: “Of course, I've left them a little present.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YWsRqOyC1
The remaining soldiers of the Frieza force watched as a small shard of ki sank into the planet.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxckRDkJ3U
Vegeta: “Enjoy the fireworks.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3j0FKgUyI
The planet exploded leaving no trace of its existence behind. The men cheered, the Colonel shook the prince's hand.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXS1G2jkAZ
Colonel: “It has been an honor serving you.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiXl43XJsM
Vegeta: “As promised, you'll be with us from now on.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNo577AKv7
Colonel: “And the rest of the Tuffles?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAllCvSBU2
Vegeta: “I have a purpose in mind for those inferior people.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrogXyddhq
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEngi3oGtt
Kakarot: “That power I felt earlier, I don't understand it, brother. Normally these experiences are exhilarating, but this, it was maddening, terrifying even.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqrXtd4OH4
Raditz: “I don't quite understand it either, but that power avenged our people. You've fulfilled your destiny, right?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1d6GP2WIt
Kakarot: “Yeah… I guess I did.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHR2jKrrVV
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGXyCbJjYf
Raditz: “Good day, Prince, how may I be of service to you today?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyST53hrcD
Vegeta: “Your brother put on quite the spectacle yesterday, didn't he?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq98Dv1OLy6
Raditz: “Yes… He did.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFe5ujQegL
Vegeta: “It doesn't take a genius to realize he's left us both behind.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwcisw3oYD
Raditz: “Yeah, it is quite apparent.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAuFQQe2Fc
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVap9VKiHCe
Raditz: “What are you suggesting? Vegeta?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR6pblFQAc
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXxjkC9khP
Raditz: “Considering your competition, your threats don't mean much right now. So enlighten me, why is that path doomed for failure?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RmMF8X38F
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOrBgIDDVX
Raditz stared at the floor, lost in his thoughts.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2EXR6Vx7j
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmAN0yFeFW
Raditz: “W-What do you propose? Even if I went along with it, we can't stop him.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyG2W07EPw
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6MUg1ARXU
Raditz: “I won't fail you, Vegeta. I think I know how to get him off our backs.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNtwocZUHL
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEpQu29v2x
Kakarot pondered deeply, looking into the dim, cloudy sky.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡognJFmxVJE
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo08KUDwL0
He looked at his fist in shame.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwFoCH3eF3
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdqR1PvfL1
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr52YyvJWYh
A sudden static came from Kakarot's scouter.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tBv1oNdTI
“Bro—-er! You ne—-ed to come! Q—--ck!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsgX38m1Nk
Kakarot: “Raditz! Is that you!? Raditz! What's wrong?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QqGvRB8xM
Raditz: “I— tried to save th—m!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2QpcYKUfE
Kakarot: “Where are you?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBXuFVeF6a
Raditz: “Y—our place!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk3zrKEMb5
Kakarot: “I'm on my way!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYkmGQySsI
Kakarot anxiously rushed back to his home. The sky roared as a thunderstorm broke out. Vicious rain drops poured all over the land.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr9bhN8aoM
Kakarot: “Has one of Frieza's loyal followers found our base? He's probably seeking revenge against me!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4cS91AuOi
Kakarot arrived in mere moments. Raditz waited for him outside. Most of Kakarot's home was battered up and crumbling apart.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQQ0rDqHks
Kakarot: “Brother! What happened? Where's Bulma and Beet?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzpJYmu55S
Raditz had a cut on his cheek and some of his armor had been damaged. He took a moment to catch his breath.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNor4ippMP
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..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHfNckMBrn
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4SFMg8lyP
Kakarot: “No…”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgStbqSroMJ
Raditz limped behind him, putting his hand on his brother's shoulder.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzMTjX9B15
Raditz: “I'm terribly sorry, Kakarot. I found them like this by the time I arrived. I couldn't save them…”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXga1grLwma
Kakarot: “No, no, no, no…. They should have come after me.. no..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jlBbkAn34
He fell to his knees, and held his son in his arms.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9CqQBAImA
Kakarot: “B-Beet… I should've been there, to protect you.. both of you.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhavlKnJL3
Raditz: “It's a real shame… he cried out for his “Daddy” in his last moments you know.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrInAkILjTe
Kakarot: “I wasn't there for him..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzvVy6pBfu
Kakarot froze for a moment. His eyes widened.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1EG476PO1
Kakarot: “You… You said you found them like this when you got here..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzszKH7dh3
Raditz: “Let this be my final lesson to you brother. Trust no one.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RmiTCyDHq
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9fl6hjohQ
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLBFvrJE1v
Kakarot: “H-How.. c-ccould.. youuu..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5XBjBMJxf
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz3j5a6MsG
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1hL4RWllj
Raditz: “It's done, sir.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHf8DXhKp2
Vegeta: “What did you do?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUUKlBQtd9
Raditz: “I got rid of him and his boy for good. They will never get in our way again.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdTZAOfdYk
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf6oKE5CQv
Raditz: “It is an honor.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsYrcYxxhJ
Raditz bowed down in respect.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMm5X8XmPq
“Prince Vegeta! Our security has been breached! They're headed your wa-”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMCvIin7OD
The signal was cut off in a violent manner, before they had time to process the warning, something smashed through the entrance.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOJAl3THrT
Kakarot: “Y-You!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVhXA9lVtZ
Raditz: “Impossible! He should've succumbed to his wounds!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqysyMOR5D5
Kakarot took heavy breaths and struggled to stand.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fAuJ89qR3
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoW4yjjxFM
Raditz: “Right!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUC5sxvgGkv
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakqLKFWTE7
Vegeta: “Nappa was a fool that let his emotions cloud his judgment.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrVQluUDoN
Kakarot: “He was your friend!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bPI6kBkXF
Vegeta: “And he paid the price for it.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mX8mUJ6rs
Kakarot: “I l-looked up to you guys!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rrlwZRam5
Tears ran down his face.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y16jhl4qP
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?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6dHO4XCgI
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N2gdPlNtf
Kakarot: “Haaaaa!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ArFnWCgih
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtscDLduTi8
Raditz: “Vegeta!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO83bBR1lxr
Kakarot rushed Raditz, tackling him to the ground. He pounded his face a few times before grabbing a hold of his neck.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGc2Y262AS
Kakarot: “Why!? We're brother's! Why would you do this! You meant everything to me!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DPkQDbmAr
Raditz smirked.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejzbtK56al
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqff9tkkIvW
Kakarot: “So none of this ever really mattered, huh? I should've killed you back in our fight with Frieza!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHbf3HTs2G
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysDL32QUN5
Kakarot: “Ha! Ha! Haa!! None of this matters huh? It never did! Nothing does!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4iZaJH9yN
He pounded the ground.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF26KckSWEI
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdop9RaR5x
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvoin9AA75
Kakarot: “To fight!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPryxSnwPZk
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMXyw02qoy
Raditz: “B-Brother.. You w-wouldn't kill me.. right? I'm…all you have left.. p-please let me make things right..”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLWRUWaTVP
Kakarot: “A warrior always finishes his opponent, remember?”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsJgMZRDwT
Kakarot chuckled and removed his fist. He blasted him away. Raditz's lifeless course collapsed to the ground.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWkyJwR6WZ
Vegeta: “Big Bang attack!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgroz5YJ3kj
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeomeoPhSIl
Vegeta: “Gaahh!!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURucQFpnQE
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrtHn4TpWu
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OBgVDqOzU
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.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJK3FCXGK4
Vegeta: “Wait!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCuEVC2OqM
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.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB2HSiFU9Z
Kakarot: “After years of exploration and combat, I've finally made the time to gather them all together.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFktdHC3h3
The seven dragon balls glowed in union before the mighty shenron burst out from within them.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavTBZWxdFK
Shenron: “Speak your wish.”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7p8YvJTWv
Kakarot put his hand on a special vehicle he had beside him.
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwObiUJWQnV
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!”
276Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYgJItmiIR
Shenron: “As you wish."
