Raditz slowly raised his head and looked up after hearing Broly's words. An Artificial Moon hung high above, casting its pure light across space.
"Roar!"
A roar erupted from Raditz's mouth, and his body began to rapidly enlarge.
Saviza and the other two had battle powers around 200,000, and he knew that his 600,000 battle power after transforming into a Great Ape was enough to slaughter the three opponents. This was the confidence Raditz had in chasing them.
As for Broly, since the activation rate of the Violent Cells in his body was 100%, he was not affected by the moonlight and could not transform into a Great Ape. If he were to transform, he would become a Super Saiyan. Great Ape transformation only required partial activation by moonlight when the Violent Cells were dormant.
Just as Raditz completed his transformation and was about to swing his giant fist to attack, Saviza's mouth curved into a cunning smile. He raised his hand, firing an energy blast at the Artificial Moon. With a "boom," the Artificial Moon was instantly shattered.
Saviza said proudly, "Hmph, hmph, do you think we would dare to attack Saiyan Star without any research into your methods? Launching Artificial Moons and transforming into Great Apes is no longer a secret in the universe, little Saiyan Prince. Surrender now!"
Raditz, whose transformation failed due to the loss of the moon, roared furiously, "You despicable guys, even without Great Ape form, I won't let you succeed!"
Not believing it, Raditz launched another Artificial Moon, but this time, before it could even be fully launched, Rede punched it away.
"Why don't you believe it? I told you, your Saiyan Great Ape transformation increases your battle power tenfold, but the drawback is that there must be a moon present. This has long been common knowledge in the universe; it's no longer a secret."
Rede mocked with a look of disdain.
Seeing Raditz fly backward, Broly shouted, "Raditz, Big Brother!" and wanted to catch him.
"You stinky brat, where do you think you're going? Stay here and play with me!"
Naze stood in front of Broly, revealing a malicious smile. This was done not only to prevent Broly from rescuing Raditz but also to prevent him from secretly releasing an Artificial Moon.
"Damn it, damn it! If I could transform into a Great Ape, even if you all came at me, you wouldn't be my opponents."
Under Rede's attack, Raditz had no power to parry. This was still Rede holding back with a playful attitude; otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to take one move.
Raditz roared in anger, "If you have the guts, just give me a quick death!"
Rede sneered, "Saiyan Prince, we can't bear to kill you. Just surrender obediently."
Broly's situation was not much better. Under attacks that were twice as powerful, Naze's continuous onslaught left him with only the power to parry. No matter how talented the child was, he was only just over a year old, and his usual training focused on spiritual power. Bardock had hardly taught him any offensive techniques.
In daily battles, Broly relied on his innate combat talent as a Super Saiyan, but this did not change the fact that his 100,000 battle power was half of Naze's.
"You two, stop playing around. Quickly deal with these two brats. We still need to go to Saiyan Star to complete King Cooler's mission." Saviza said with some dissatisfaction, having wasted a lot of time.
"Understood, Captain."
Rede and Naze, hearing Saviza's command, no longer held back and attacked with full force. Two individuals who had long assisted Cooler in conquering planets possessed incredibly rich combat experience, and their battle power was also superior.
Under their full power, in less than a minute, Raditz and Broly were kicked in front of Saviza.
Saviza looked at the two small faces, full of unwillingness, glaring at him. "With you two, I believe Bardock and Paragus will definitely comply obediently."
Broly bit Naze's hand.
Naze, in pain, flung Broly away and clutched his hand. "Ow, ow, you damned brat, how dare you bite me."
Upon seeing this, Raditz immediately followed suit and bit Rede's hand, who was holding him. Rede, in pain, indeed flung him away.
"Raditz, Big Brother, you go first! Go find my father and the others. I'll hold them off here!"
After the two reunited, Broly said anxiously to Raditz.
"I'm not leaving. I am a Saiyan Prince. How can I escape alone? You go first; I'll cover your retreat."
Raditz also knew that without the ability to transform into a Great Ape, the most correct method was for one of them to escape and seek help from Paragus. But the pride of being a Saiyan Prince did not allow Raditz to flee alone, so he remained in place, refusing to leave.
"You two idiots!"
Saviza angrily cursed his two teammates for not even being able to hold onto two children. If one of them really managed to escape and seek help from Paragus, the three of them would be finished.
In the urgent situation, Saviza no longer intended to capture prisoners to threaten Bardock. He directly fired an energy blast at Raditz.
"Raditz, Big Brother, be careful!" Broly shouted.
Facing the energy blast Saviza fired at him, Raditz had no time to react and stood frozen in place.
Broly, whose battle power was significantly higher than Raditz's, quickly pushed Raditz away, and his own back was solidly hit by the energy blast.
"No!!!" Raditz roared heartbrokenly.
Looking at Broly, who was near death from saving him, Raditz finally realized how big a mistake he had just made. He had hesitated for that ridiculous pride.
At this moment, Raditz seemed to have seen through everything. No matter how talented Broly was, he was a good friend and brother who could protect him! His past jealousy was so pathetic and ridiculous.
"Saviza, you, you actually killed Broly! I'll make you pay!"
Holding Broly's motionless body, Raditz was overcome with grief and indignation, roaring furiously at Saviza.
The white aura around his body gradually turned golden, and his originally shoulder-length black hair also began to show a tendency to turn golden, while his overall aura began to rise steadily.
"Cough cough, Raditz, Big Brother, if you don't feed me a Senzu Bean, I'm really going to die, cough cough."
Just as Raditz was about to fall into a state of complete rage, Broly in his arms struggled to open his eyes and said weakly.
Raditz was overjoyed. "Broly, you're alive! That's great!"
He pulled out a Senzu Bean from his embrace and fed it into Broly's mouth. Broly chewed a few times with difficulty, swallowing it with the blood in his mouth.
At this moment, the two exchanged glances, then suddenly smiled at each other, and a silent bond formed between them.
At this moment, the aura around Raditz had stopped rising, and his hair, which was almost golden, had turned black again.
It could be said that Raditz had just missed becoming a Super Saiyan due to the joy in his heart. However, even if Raditz knew, he would definitely not be willing to use Broly's life to achieve his Super Saiyan transformation, because he was a proud Saiyan Prince.
"Clap clap clap…"
Saviza clapped his hands and laughed as he spoke. "How touching! It almost made me cry."
