"GOHAN!" Chi-Chi's voice echoed through the tranquil forest, disrupting the peaceful atmosphere.

Inside the forest, Goku's spiky black hair bounced with each leap. He hopped effortlessly from branch to branch, his eyes scanning the area for suitable firewood. "Ah, there you are," he murmured, spotting a towering tree that dwarfed its neighbors. With a single well-aimed punch, Goku clenched his fist and sent the massive tree crashing to the ground. Dust billowed around him as he hoisted the tree over his shoulder, his muscular frame showing no signs of strain.

"Found some firewood, Chi-Chi!" Goku called out as he approached their cozy home. Chi-Chi, her hands on her hips, greeted him with a relieved smile.

"Great! Now, let's find Gohan. He went into the forest but hasn't returned. After we find him, we can go to Kame House." They wasted no time and hopped onto the Flying Nimbus, its golden aura enveloping them as they flew up into the sky in search of their son.

Meanwhile, a farmer toiled in his field. His brow glistened with sweat as he struggled to load hay onto his truck bed. Suddenly, a strange noise cut through the air, accompanied by the sight of a fiery meteorite hurtling toward the ground only a few hundred yards away.

"Why me?" the farmer grumbled, wiping the sweat from his face before climbing into his truck. With a sense of dread weighing on him, he grabbed his peashooter from the glove compartment and drove towards the impact site.

As he cautiously approached the crater, it became clear that this was no ordinary meteorite. Instead, he found a strange steel ball partially buried in the earth. The metallic sphere emitted a low hum, and with a hiss, it opened, revealing a man dressed in strange armor.

The mysterious figure glanced around, his expression mixed with confusion and annoyance. "This can't be right," he muttered, floating effortlessly out of the crater. The farmer, his hands trembling, leveled his peashooter at the intruder.

"Y-You're on my property!" he stammered, trying to sound braver than he felt. The alien smirked, pressing a button on the scouter device that covered his eye. A mechanical voice announced, "Power Level: 5."

"Is that all?" the invader sneered, unfazed by the farmer's weapon. With a shaky finger, the farmer pulled the trigger, sending a bullet speeding towards the stranger. In a blur of motion, the alien caught the projectile and flicked it back, striking the farmer in the chest.

As the farmer crumpled lifelessly to the ground, the scouter beeped urgently, detecting a high-power level nearby. The alien's eyes narrowed, a wicked grin spreading across his face.

"Prepare yourself, Kakarot!" he growled before shooting into the sky, leaving nothing but destruction in his wake.

Little Gohan wandered through the woods, his eyes wide and intrigued. He began to run, as he ran, Gohan stumbled upon a giant stump that seemed oddly out of place. Perched on top of it was a beautiful green bird, its feathers shimmering in the sunlight. Gohan decided to stop for a moment. Inch by inch, he cautiously approached the bird, taking in its beauty.

"Wow," Gohan whispered, unable to take his eyes off the creature. As he did, the seemingly innocuous stump started to move, dragging itself suddenly through bushes and over a cliff's edge. Caught unaware, Gohan barely had time to process what was happening before plummeting rapidly.
