As Glen, Beerus, Supreme Kai Shin, and the other gods vanished, the planet's chaotic magnetic field slowly began to settle.
Thunder no longer rumbled in the sky, and the ground no longer shook!
Only Raditz, Nappa, and Vegeta, who lay face down on the ground, remained on the planet.
Raditz stared blankly at the quarter of a Senzu Bean in his hand for a moment, then quickly came back to his senses.
"Giving me two choices?"
A strange curve formed at the corners of Raditz's mouth, and his eyes gradually grew sinister.
"Hahahaha!"
"How has Vegeta treated me all these years? And now I'm supposed to choose whether to save him?"
"There's no choice to make, is there? Why wouldn't I keep this Senzu Bean to save my own life? How could I possibly save that damned Vegeta? Hahaha!"
Raditz's little face suddenly twisted with madness.
Just as Glen had expected, given Vegeta's past treatment of Raditz and the countless times he had considered abandoning him, there was no way Raditz would save Vegeta.
Besides, Raditz was a cold-blooded Saiyan too. How could he waste a miraculous healing treasure like a Senzu Bean on someone else?!
"Pah! Let him fend for himself here. Nappa, let's go! If we don't leave now, the Ginyu Squad will land!"
Raditz rose into the air, preparing to fly toward where their spaceships were buried.
But then!
Nappa's cold, greedy voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Wait. You're right not to save Vegeta, but since you've chosen not to save him, that Senzu Bean in your hand is useless now. Hand it over. That isn't something trash like you deserves to have!"
Raditz's pupils abruptly contracted at those words, and his little hand clenched tightly around the Senzu Bean.
Such was the ruthlessness and cold blood of Saiyans. Without overwhelming strength to keep them in check, even fathers and sons could turn against each other over conflicting interests!
Let alone Raditz and Nappa as they were now.
The Senzu Bean in Raditz's hand was a miraculous healing treasure that could bring someone back from the brink of death. How could Nappa possibly let someone else have it?
Especially when that someone was trash with a power level of only 600!
"Nappa, what do you mean? This was... this was the choice Glen told me to make! Since I chose to keep the Senzu Bean, it's mine!"
Little Raditz slowly turned around, speaking through his fear.
"Hahaha! Don't you know how weak you are? You think you deserve a miraculous bean like that?"
Nappa rolled his neck and loosened his limbs, then said with a wicked grin, "If I were you, I'd hand over the Senzu Bean like a good boy. Otherwise, you can stay here with Vegeta!"
"You..."
Raditz's chest heaved with anger as he gritted his back teeth. "Didn't you hear what Glen and the others just said? Glen is a god now! You dare go against the choice he told me to make?"
"..."
Nappa also recalled the conversation Glen and his group had just had. Clearly, they were all gods of legend.
Just then!
Rumble!
The medium-sized spaceship in the sky was descending rapidly!!
"Damn it! The Ginyu Force is about to land! If we don't leave now, we're both finished!"
A pained expression crossed Raditz's little face. He split his quarter of a Senzu Bean in half again, tossed one half to Nappa, then roared:
"I'm giving this to you willingly, so this doesn't count as disobeying those gods' orders! Now hurry up and go!!!"
"Hahaha! At least you know what's good for you, brat!"
Nappa caught the Senzu Bean, and the greed on his face quickly faded.
As for Raditz's remaining half, Glen's orders really did keep him from coveting it any further.
The two wasted no more words. They abandoned Vegeta outright and flew rapidly toward where their spaceships were buried.
But then!
Rumble!
The roar of the spaceship's engines grew louder and louder as the ship drew closer to the ground.
"Damn it, we're out of time!"
Nappa and Raditz flew some distance before stopping.
Their spaceships were hidden on the other side of the planet. At their speed, they could never reach them in the little time left before the ship landed.
"Aaaargh!!!"
Nappa was on the verge of losing his mind. "That's the Ginyu Force! Once they land, we're dead!"
"Dead? Whose fault is that?! If you hadn't fought me over the Senzu Bean, we'd already be in our ships and gone!"
Raditz no longer feared Nappa at this point. He roared hysterically.
"Raditz, you dare talk to me like that?! You have a death wish!!"
"Then kill me! Once the Ginyu Force lands, you'll die too! Why would I still be afraid of you now?"
"You..."
Nappa clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to kill Raditz, but just as Raditz had said, even if he died, Nappa himself would have no escape.
Rumble!
The spaceship drew ever closer!
"Damn it, what do we do? Raditz, hurry up and think of something!!"
"What else can we do? Glen's gone, and Vegeta's about to die. With our strength, even if we have Senzu Beans to save our lives, they can only save each of us once. There's no way we'll survive!"
At that, Raditz abruptly turned in another direction, leaving Nappa stunned.
"Did you think of something, brat?" Nappa looked at the little kid expectantly.
"I thought of something that barely counts as a plan. I know it definitely won't let us beat the Ginyu Force either, but compared to us two weaklings, this plan can at least raise our zero-percent chance by the tiniest bit!"
Little Raditz's expression actually began to calm.
"Then spit it out!" Nappa bellowed.
"Let's go save Vegeta!"
Raditz closed his little eyes and sighed.
"What?"
Nappa said incredulously, "Have you forgotten how that scumbag Vegeta used to treat us? Were you blind? You actually want to..."
"But what else can we do now?"
Raditz cut him off with a roar, shouting himself hoarse. "My power level is only 600, and yours is only 2,500! If we revive Vegeta, at least we'll have his power level of 6,000 fighting alongside us!!!"
Little Raditz's voice made Nappa's ears ring. Although Vegeta usually called Nappa a big idiot, at a time like this, he could still weigh the pros and cons.
Even the weakest member of the Ginyu Force had a power level over ten thousand. Even with their strength combined, they could never match that group.
But with Vegeta added to their numbers, even if they still died in the end, perhaps they could live one second longer!
"Damn it! After all that, we still have to save that scumbag Vegeta!!!!"
Nappa was deeply unwilling, but he said nothing more, because he could not think of any other way either.
So he turned straight around and flew back toward Vegeta.
Seeing Nappa move, Raditz quickly followed.
A kilometer from the spot where Glen had originally transformed, little Vegeta still lay on the brink of death.
The words Glen had spoken to him kept echoing through his mind.
"It's only been three years. Have you forgotten me already?"
"It's me, Glen. I've come back for revenge!"
"You're as arrogant and heartless as ever!"
"You think you deserve to be the prince of us Saiyans? You abandoned me three years ago. And three years later, where are the other members of your squad? Did you abandon them too?!"
"If I'm a disgrace to the Saiyan race, then what kind of trash are you?"
"How does it feel to be abandoned by your companions?!"
"Hahaha! Let's see whether Raditz will save a scumbag like you. Enjoy the despair I went through back then!"
"..."
Do I really deserve to die?
Maybe I really do...
Vegeta felt that the last flame of his life was about to go out.
Suddenly!
A warm current spread throughout his body.
This... what's going on? Why does it feel like I'm coming back to life?
Could it be the Senzu Bean Glen mentioned?!
Vegeta's eyes snapped open. The instant he opened them, he saw Raditz and Nappa trembling before him.
"I actually recovered?!"
Vegeta found it hard to believe. Raditz had actually saved him!
Vegeta slowly rose from the ground and looked at Raditz and Nappa, the killing intent radiating from him growing stronger and stronger.
"You didn't know, did you? I heard everything you just said!!!"
"How dare you?"
The veins on Vegeta's forehead bulged, and his eyes seemed about to pop out of their sockets. "You actually thought of betraying me!!!!"
In Vegeta's mind, only he was allowed to betray others. He would never allow anyone to betray him, even if Raditz had just saved him!
"Wait, Vegeta!"
Raditz hurriedly pointed at the spaceship that had already landed in the distance and said fearfully, "The Ginyu Force has come for us!!"
