Even today.
Perhaps it was a stroke of luck, or perhaps the remnants of Frieza Force were simply desperate and looking for some extra money.
A reconnaissance ship finally arrived.
"Boom--"
The spaceship landed, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The hatch opened.
Two aliens dressed in Battle Suit emerged.
One was a green-skinned female alien, and the other was an old man with orange skin.
"Hey! Are there really Saiyan here?"
Cheelai, gun in hand, warily surveyed his surroundings.
"The signal definitely originated from here..."
"Lemo muttered to himself."
Hey! Here we are! We're here!
Raditz waved his hands excitedly and rushed over like a child seeing a loved one.
"Quick! Get us out of this hellhole! I am Raditz the Saiyan! That's Colonel Paragus! We are Frieza's most loyal subordinates!"
"Take us with you, and we'll be your companions! Even your subordinates! We'll do anything you ask! Just don't make me eat bugs anymore!!"
Seeing Raditz's tearful appearance, Cheelai and Lemo exchanged a glance, both somewhat bewildered.
Is this still the legendary, ferocious fighting nation?
He looks like a refugee.
Meanwhile, in another, more distant and bizarre space-time.
Dragon Ball GT Timeline.
The scene shifts to Sun Wuxiu's side. After he traveled here, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he immediately recognized that this was not Earth.
Looking up, the planet next door seemed even more familiar.
"That's... Earth?"
Sun Wuxiu frowned slightly; he could sense an extremely unsettling, malevolent aura permeating the air.
At this moment, he also sensed Son Goku's aura, which was extremely weak, and there was a huge evil aura surrounding him, indicating that his life was in danger.
Just as he was about to follow and take a look, Son Goku's energy completely disappeared from the planet.
"What?!"
Sun Wuxiu's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly placed two fingers on the top of his head, preparing to go to the place where Goku had last disappeared to see what had happened and whether he could still be saved.
"Killed? No... the way that aura disappeared is strange, as if it was devoured or transferred by some force."
However, just as he was sensing it, he discovered that Goku's energy had appeared in another place, extremely far away, so far away that it didn't seem to be in this world.
"That location... is neither in the Other World nor in the mortal world..."
"Is it in the cracks between dimensions?"
He couldn't worry about anything else; saving lives was the priority.
"[ Instant Transmission ]!"
Sun Wuxiu used Instant Transmission to cross the dimensional barrier and arrive beside Goku.
The moment his feet touched the ground, the scene around him made Sun Wuxiu pause for a moment in surprise.
This is not a battlefield, but a strange space filled with giant dice and a flying chessboard.
On a chessboard not far away, Son Goku, who had turned back into a child, lay unconscious on the ground.
"This is... the Sugoroku Space?"
Sun Wuxiu recognized the place.
"It seems I've traveled to the GT timeline, and it happens to be the climax of the Baby Arc."
He quickly walked to Kid Goku's side, squatted down, and examined him.
Immediately afterwards, the healing light of the Horse Talisman shone from his hand.
"It looks like this trip is going to be very interesting."
A dimensional rift, Sugoroku Space.
This is a strange world that defies the laws of physics.
Giant, colorful cubes floated in the vibrant void, forming a bizarre path resembling a Monopoly chessboard.
The giant die spun slowly in the air, with no exit in sight, only endless nothingness.
"Hmm..."
On a huge green square marked with the word "Starting Point," Son Goku, whose body had reverted to his child form, trembled slightly with his eyelashes.
Consciousness gradually rose from the deep darkness.
The excruciating feeling of being on the verge of death has vanished.
Instead, it brought an unprecedented sense of comfort and warmth, like soaking in a perfectly warm hot spring.
Am I... am I still alive?
Goku suddenly opened his eyes, and what came into view was not the familiar environment of the Other World, but a handsome face that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
This face is so handsome it makes you want to cry.
Sun Wuxiu watched him quietly with a gentle smile.
"!!"
Goku's pupils dilated instantly, and his body sprang up from the ground as if it were springy, taking several steps back.
He rubbed his eyes, then rubbed them again, and even pinched his chubby cheeks that had shrunk.
"Pain..."
"It's not a dream..."
Goku stared blankly at the man in front of him, the man in casual clothes with black hair and black eyes, and a familiar smile on his lips.
The gates of memory were violently flung open.
More than 20 years ago.
On the eve of the Androids invasion.
The older brother, who always protected everyone and was as powerful as a god, suddenly and mysteriously disappeared one day with Bulma, without leaving a trace.
That was one of the biggest regrets of Goku's life.
And now...
In this place, which is neither Hell nor another dimension...
"Brother... brother?!"
Goku's voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of naivety and disbelief.
"Am I... am I already dead?"
"Otherwise... otherwise how would I have met you?"
"But that's not right..."
Goku scratched his head, looking confused.
"I've been to the Other World many times, but King Yemma has no record of you there, and King Kai can't find you either... Could it be that you went somewhere else?"
Looking at the shrunk and adorable Goku, Sun Wuxiu couldn't help but reach out and give his iconic hedgehog-like head a good ruffled ruffle.
It still feels great.
"Silly boy."
Sun Wuxiu said with a smile.
"You're not dead, and neither am I."
"Long time no see, Goku. Even though you've shrunk, that silly spirit of yours hasn't changed at all."
Feeling the warmth and force emanating from above his head, Goku finally became certain.
This is his older brother! Sun Wuxiu, who has been missing for over twenty years!
"Elder brother!!!"
Goku could no longer hold back, his eyes reddened, and he pounced on Sun Wuxiu, clinging to him like a koala.
"It really is you!! Where have you been?!"
"Everyone's been looking for you for ages! Vegeta may not say it, but he's turned the whole world upside down!"
"How did you suddenly appear?!"
Listening to Goku's rapid-fire complaints and longing, Sun Wuxiu felt a warm current surge in his heart.
Although he often saw Goku in the Main Timeline, for the Goku in this GT Timeline, this was a real separation of more than twenty years.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."
Sun Wuxiu patted Goku's small back and said softly.
"Something very complicated happened, and I can't explain it clearly."
