What If Goten- Was Goku's 1st born?

(The Sayian Saga, Part 1- Raditz's Arrival)

It had been several years since Goku defeated Demon King Piccolo and won his fateful battle against Piccolo Jr. at the World Martial Arts Tournament. Since then, Goku had married Chi-Chi, and together, they had a son named Gohan. Like his father, Gohan had wild black hair, a cheerful smile, and an adventurous spirit.

Goku had continued his intense training, preparing for the day Piccolo Jr. would return to settle their score. Piccolo Jr., the reincarnation and son of the Demon King, had sworn vengeance against Goku for the death of his father. Though Goku spared him after their last battle, Piccolo's grudge remained. He waited, biding his time, and growing stronger in secret.

But as both warriors prepared for their inevitable rematch, a new danger approached Earth—one neither Goku nor Piccolo could have anticipated.

A Crash Landing
In the vast countryside, the peace was shattered by the roar of a pod streaking through the sky, crashing into the ground with a deafening explosion. Smoke and fire filled the air as a tall figure stepped out of the pod, his wild hair and armor glinting in the sunlight.

"What is this?!" the stranger growled, scanning the area with a scouter on his face. "This planet was supposed to be reduced to rubble! Kakarot... what have you been doing all this time?!"

Nearby, a farmer approached, shotgun trembling in his hands. "Y-you better get off my land, y-you alien freak!" he stammered.

The figure, Raditz, sneered as his scouter read the farmer's power level. "A pathetic power level of 5. How disappointing." Without hesitation, Raditz caught the bullet fired by the terrified farmer and flicked it back at him with deadly force. The farmer was sent flying into his truck, lifeless.

"These Earthlings are useless," Raditz muttered, before his scouter beeped with a higher reading. "Hmph. That's more like it. Maybe it's Kakarot." He took off into the sky, heading toward the power source.

Piccolo's Encounter
Meanwhile, Piccolo meditated in the mountains, consumed by thoughts of revenge. "One day, Goku... I'll crush you and take my place as the strongest being on Earth!"

His focus broke as he felt a tremendous energy closing in. He opened his eyes, glaring at the sky. "What the hell is that power?! It's... massive!"

Before he could react, Raditz landed nearby, his scouter locked on Piccolo. "You there! Are you Kakarot?" Raditz barked, looking Piccolo up and down.

Piccolo frowned, his patience already worn thin. "Do I look like Kakarot to you? Green skin, antennas, no eyebrows? Use your brain, idiot."

Raditz smirked. "A smartass, huh? I don't like smartasses. Let's see if your power matches your mouth."

Piccolo stood, his cape billowing in the wind as he took a fighting stance. "If it's a fight you want, I'll gladly oblige."

Raditz's scouter beeped again. "Power level: 320. Not bad for a Namekian, but you're still no match for me."

Before Piccolo could attack, Raditz's scouter detected an even higher energy source. He grinned. "So there you are, Kakarot... I don't have time to waste on you, green man. Goodbye."

With that, Raditz took off, leaving Piccolo stunned. "Who was that... and what was that power?!" Piccolo muttered. After a moment of hesitation, he smirked. "I'm not letting you steal my fight, Kakarot. I'm going to see where this leads."

Piccolo launched into the air, following Raditz.
