Goku Takes Gohan to Master Roshi's

As the sun rose high over Mount Paozu, Goku was busy packing a small bag. Chi-Chi stood by the door, her arms crossed and her expression stern.

"I still don't understand why you need to take Gohan all the way to Master Roshi's," Chi-Chi said.

Goku grinned as he slung the bag over his shoulder and knelt down to Gohan's level. "It's not just about training, Chi-Chi. I want Gohan to meet my friends and see the world a little bit. Plus, Master Roshi hasn't seen him since he was born!"

Gohan, clutching his small wooden staff, looked up at his father with wide eyes. "Who's Master Roshi, Dad?"

"He's an old guy who taught me everything I know about martial arts," Goku said, ruffling Gohan's hair. "And he's got a lot of fun stories to tell!"

Chi-Chi sighed, reluctantly handing Goku a packed lunch. "Fine, but make sure he eats properly, and don't let him get hurt! I mean it, Goku!"

Goku laughed nervously. "Don't worry, Chi-Chi! He'll be fine. I promise!"

With Gohan perched on his shoulders, Goku leapt into the sky, the wind rushing past them as they soared over forests and mountains.

The Reunion at Kame House

A couple of hours later, the familiar sight of Kame House came into view—a small pink house sitting on a tiny island surrounded by crystal-clear waters. Goku landed lightly in front of the house, setting Gohan down.

"Whoa... Dad, this place is so cool!" Gohan exclaimed, running to the edge of the island to look at the ocean.

The door creaked open, and Krillin stepped outside, shielding his eyes from the sun. "Goku? Is that you?"

"Hey, Krillin!" Goku called, waving enthusiastically.

Krillin jogged over, his jaw dropping when he saw Gohan. "No way... is that your kid? He looks just like you!"

Gohan beamed and bowed politely. "Hi! My name's Gohan!"

As Krillin laughed and patted Gohan on the head, Master Roshi emerged from the house, leaning on his cane. "Well, well, what a surprise! Goku, you brought us a little visitor!"

"Yeah, Master Roshi. This is my son, Gohan!" Goku said proudly.

Bulma poked her head out from the kitchen window, a teacup in hand. "Wait a minute... that's Goku's kid? He's adorable!" She came outside to get a closer look.

Gohan blushed and hid behind his father's leg. "He's a little shy," Goku said with a laugh.

As the group caught up, Goku recounted his adventures since their last meeting, including his fight with Piccolo Jr. "But there's something weird going on," Goku added, his tone becoming serious. "I've been feeling this strange energy lately... like something big is coming."

Before anyone could respond, the sky darkened, and a shadow passed over the island. The group looked up to see a figure descending rapidly.

"What's that?!" Krillin yelled.

Goku's expression hardened. "Stay back, everyone. I'll handle this."

The figure landed with a crash, the sand billowing around him. As the dust settled, Raditz stood tall, his scouter locking onto Goku.

"There you are, Kakarot," Raditz said, his voice cold and menacing.

Bulma clutched Gohan, pulling him close. "Who is that?"

Goku stepped forward, his fists clenched. "I don't know who you are, but you've got the wrong guy. My name's Goku!"

Raditz smirked. "Still playing dumb, huh? No matter. I'm here to remind you who you really are... little brother."

Goku's eyes widened. "Brother? What are you talking about?"

Raditz didn't answer. Instead, he glanced at Gohan, his scouter beeping wildly. "So, this is your brat, huh? Interesting... his power level is impressive for a child."

"Stay away from him!" Goku shouted, stepping between Raditz and Gohan.

Raditz chuckled. "We'll see how long you can protect him, Kakarot. But first, let's see if you've kept your Saiyan pride intact."
