Saiyan Attack: Goku's Brother Raditz

Chapter 23: The Saiyan Invasion: Goku's Brother, Raditz

On a bright and peaceful day, a strange and mysterious spacecraft appeared in the sky above Earth without warning. As the hatch slowly opened, a tall Saiyan with a cold expression and a powerful aura stepped out. He was none other than Sun Wukong's brother—Raditz.

Raditz's arrival was like a massive boulder crashing into a calm lake, instantly shattering the harmony and tranquility of Earth. With his shocking combat power and the innate fighting instincts of a Saiyan, he quickly sensed a surging, immense energy fluctuation on the planet—the source of which was his long-lost brother, Sun Wukong.

At that moment, in a cozy little house on Earth, Goku was enjoying a rare, peaceful time with his family. In the kitchen, Chi-Chi wore an apron, busily preparing a sumptuous dinner with a happy face; the clatter of pots and pans wove into a warm melody. In the living room, Bulma was smiling as she played with the adorable Sun Bra, whose bell-like laughter echoed through the house. Out in the yard, Sun Gohan was training with total focus, sweat sliding down his determined face as every breath was accompanied by the gathering of strength.

Suddenly, Goku's relaxed expression changed drastically. His keen perception caught that powerful and familiar energy, and his face instantly turned grave, as if shrouded in a dark haze.

"Oh no, it's a Saiyan's energy!" Goku's brows furrowed, and a wave of intense unease surged in his heart, like the swelling waves before a storm.

He had no time to explain to his family, nor even a moment to look at their concerned eyes, before he instantly performed Instant Transmission. His figure vanished like a bolt of lightning, racing toward the source of the energy.

When Goku appeared before Raditz, a flicker of surprise crossed the Saiyan's face, followed by a disdainful sneer. "Brother, I never expected you to still be alive, and it seems you've been doing quite well for yourself."

Goku's expression was solemn, his gaze as steady as a torch, and he replied without a hint of retreat, "Brother, what is your purpose in coming to Earth?"

Raditz let out a cold snort, his tone filled with arrogance and conceit. "Hmph, King Frieza has issued an order for us to conquer this planet. Since you are my brother, I'll give you a chance: join me in serving King Frieza and share in the glory and riches."

Goku glared at him, flames of anger burning in his eyes, and responded firmly, "I will never join forces with you evil wretches! I will protect Earth and safeguard the peace and tranquility here!"

Just then, Bardock and Gine, having wished upon the Shenron of China through Goku, were magically transported to Earth. The moment Bardock saw Raditz, he roared in uncontrollable rage, "Raditz! You are still slaving away for that devil Frieza, refusing to repent!"

Seeing his long-lost parents, Raditz was stunned for a moment, a flicker of complex emotion crossing his eyes, before he stubbornly retorted, "Father, in this vast, lawless universe where the strong prey on the weak, only the powerful can survive. By following King Frieza, we can obtain endless power and wealth; that is the only way forward."

Gine was already in tears, saying with a broken heart, "Child, have you forgotten the dignity and honor of us Saiyans? We Saiyans should fight with our own strength and courage, not become someone else's lackeys!"

Raditz fell into a brief silence, his heart caught in a fierce struggle as if two voices were clashing violently within his mind.

Meanwhile, in another corner of the Earth, Raditz encountered the mercurial Launch. At first, Launch was full of vigilance and caution toward this Saiyan from outer space, like a startled little rabbit. However, through their time together, Raditz's fearlessness in the face of danger and his straightforward honesty in daily life gradually won her heart.

During a life-or-death crisis, facing a surging wave of powerful enemies, Raditz did not hesitate to disregard his own safety, pulling Launch tightly behind him and building a solid line of defense with his own body. This heroic act was like a spring breeze melting snow, causing Launch to fall completely in love with him. Not long after, with the blessings of friends and family, they held a warm and romantic wedding, beginning a poetic and sweet life together.

Later, Launch gave birth to a lively, clever, and adorable daughter named Mai. Mai inherited her father's bravery and her mother's wit, bringing endless joy and warmth to the family.

However, during the intense battle with Goku and the others, Raditz was gradually moved by Goku's firm determination to protect Earth. As he witnessed the Earth's warriors fighting heroically against powerful enemies, willing to sacrifice their lives to defend their home, those tragic and stirring scenes struck his heart like heavy hammers.

Am I really to serve evil forever? Can such a path truly bring me genuine honor and satisfaction? Raditz questioned himself deep within, the voice of his conscience growing louder and louder.

In the end, through the fierce internal struggle, kindness and justice triumphed over evil and greed. Raditz resolutely decided to stand side-by-side with Goku and the others, becoming a partner in protecting justice.

"Brother, I was wrong. Let us join hands and protect Earth together!" Raditz said loudly, his eyes flashing with a firm light.

Goku looked at Raditz with relief and said earnestly, "Brother, as long as you truly repent, we will always be a loving family, fighting for justice together."

Raditz's addition was like a powerful new force injected into their ranks, making everyone's strength even greater.

Bardock and Gine came to Goku's home to happily meet their grandchildren. Sun Bra blinked her bright, intelligent eyes, looking at her grandparents with curiosity as if trying to uncover endless stories from their faces. Gine gently picked up Sun Bra and whispered softly, "My little treasure, you are truly adorable. You will surely be an amazing warrior when you grow up."

Sun Gohan stood to the side, feeling a bit shy. Bardock walked up, patted him gently on the shoulder, and encouraged him with high expectations, "Child, you must train hard, constantly break through your limits, and become even stronger. You must be as brave and fearless as your father and protect everything we cherish."

Mai also ran over happily, tugging on the corner of Gine's clothes, and said in a milky voice, "Grandma, tell me a story." Gine smiled, crouched down, gently flicked Mai's nose, and began to tell the heroic legends of the Saiyans.

Just then, seeing that he couldn't defeat Goku after a long assault, Raditz grew furious and unleashed a powerful energy wave. The blast, like a roaring dragon, surged toward Goku. Seeing this, Goku quickly summoned "Great Ape Protection," and a solid energy shield instantly appeared before him, successfully blocking the powerful attack. The light from the energy collision illuminated the entire battlefield.

"Brother, I didn't expect you to have such a magical ability," Raditz said, slightly startled, a look of surprise on his face.

Goku seized the opportunity to counterattack, performing the "Ape Shadow Clone" technique. He instantly created multiple clones with powerful attack capabilities, surrounding Raditz like phantoms. Raditz was caught off guard, and Goku seized the chance to land a heavy punch, sending him stumbling backward.

"Damn it!" Raditz roared in anger, immediately entering the Super Saiyan 1 state. His hair stood on end, turning a dazzling gold, and a brilliant golden aura radiated from his body as his energy and power surged significantly. His eyes became even more ferocious, as if he intended to devour Goku.

Goku did not show weakness, similarly transforming into a Super Saiyan 1. The battle between the two became increasingly intense and thrilling. Every collision caused the space to tremble, with the ripples of energy spreading in all directions.

Just then, the warriors on Earth sensed the powerful energy emitted from the battle and rushed to support Goku.

Piccolo, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, and others arrived in time. Seeing the fierce battle between Goku and Raditz, they were deeply shocked.

"Goku, we're here to lend you a hand!" Piccolo shouted, his voice filled with firm determination.

Goku shouted back, "Be careful, my brother is very powerful!"

Seeing these Earth warriors coming to help, Raditz said with utter disdain, "A bunch of insignificant ants, daring to join the fray!"

With that, he launched a fierce attack toward Piccolo and the others, a powerful energy wave sweeping across the area. To protect his companions, Goku did not hesitate to step in front of them, taking the brunt of the violent blow.

"Goku!" his companions cried out in unison, their voices filled with worry.

Goku wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said strongly, "I'm fine! Everyone, let's fight together!"

The group unleashed their ultimate techniques. Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon was like a laser piercing through heaven and earth, Krillin's Destructo Disc was like a high-speed rotating blade, and Tien Shinhan's Neo Tri-Beam was like an erupting volcano. Brilliant beams of light attacked Raditz.

Raditz was momentarily overwhelmed, but as a powerful Saiyan, he quickly stabilized the situation. Relying on his immense strength and combat experience, he withstood wave after wave of their attacks.

Goku saw his chance and instantly entered the "Berserk Ape Strike" state. His power and speed soared, and he launched a torrential, fierce assault on Raditz like a storm. Under this powerful onslaught, Raditz gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, his energy beginning to fluctuate.

"Damn it, brother, you are actually this strong!" Raditz was furious and humiliated, jumping with rage.

Goku did not respond, continuing his sharp attacks and giving Raditz no chance to catch his breath.

Seeing the situation was dire, Raditz attempted to flee.

Goku would not let him escape so easily. He deployed the "Great Ape Domain," a mysterious special field that instantly appeared. Within the domain, his own attributes were greatly enhanced, successfully suppressing Raditz's power.

"Brother, don't even think about escaping!" Goku said loudly, his voice filled with resolve.

In the end, with everyone working together, Raditz was thoroughly defeated by Goku and collapsed to the ground.

After the battle, Goku collapsed to the ground, exhausted, gasping for air. His companions gathered around him.

"Goku, you were absolutely amazing!" Krillin exclaimed sincerely, his eyes filled with admiration.

Goku offered a faint smile and replied, "Thank you all. If not for your help, I wouldn't have been able to defeat my brother."

Just then, Bulma arrived in a hurry with her family.

"Goku, I'm so glad you're alright." Chi-Chi looked at Goku with a pained expression, her eyes brimming with concern and love.

Goku stood up, embraced his family tightly, and said with deep emotion, "I'm sorry for making you worry, but it's all over now. Everything is fine."

Bardock and Gine watched the scene before them, their hearts a complex mix of emotions. They felt proud of Goku's growth and resolve, and comforted by Raditz's transformation.

Everyone was overjoyed by Goku's victory; Earth had successfully weathered another crisis. Raditz also made up his mind to join everyone in protecting the planet and facing the many challenges of the future together.

However, Goku knew deep down that this was only the beginning, and that even more powerful enemies awaited him in the future. Yet, he felt no fear, for he possessed the unwavering resolve and immense strength to protect the Earth. He believed that as long as they stood united, there was no difficulty they could not overcome.
