Fighting Raditz

In the Western Wasteland, there were three figures.

"Hahahaha! Now do you understand how powerful Saiyans are? Too bad it's too late!"

The one letting out that evil laugh was a strong man with long, hedgehog-like hair and a scouter over his right eye.

"Sun Wukong, facing a powerful enemy gets you excited, doesn't it?" said a green-skinned alien, sweat running down his face, two antennae on his head.

"I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm not excited. I'm trembling with fear!"

Feeling the terrifying aura of the man before him, Sun Wukong trembled, but the battle-loving blood of the Saiyans thrilled him.

"Wait for me, Gohan. Daddy's coming to save you!"

"Hahahaha! Don't get any ideas. What makes you think you can save him? You'll die even sooner than he will!" With that, Raditz stamped both feet against the ground and flew toward Piccolo and Wukong.

"We can only fight this one head-on!" Piccolo said. Then he charged as well, dust billowing beneath his feet.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Wukong and Piccolo joined forces and attacked Raditz, the three figures flickering at high speed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..." Though Wukong and Piccolo's attacks were as rapid as machine-gun fire, Raditz handled them with ease, calmly taking on both men's strikes.

"Hey!" Wukong shouted, his figure vanishing from in front of Raditz in an instant. He appeared at the side and kicked toward his face, whipping up a fierce gust.

Piccolo also seized the chance to attack Raditz's left side.

"Whoosh!"

After a blast of wind, Raditz's figure moved behind them as if by teleportation, and then he kicked out with both legs.

"Bang! Bang!"

He struck Wukong and Piccolo directly.

The two flew backward like kites with their strings cut.

"Bastard!" Piccolo cursed, then immediately jumped up and attacked in Raditz's direction.

"Hahaha! Die!"

Raditz grinned savagely, quickly condensing yellow energy balls in both hands and firing them at Piccolo and Wukong.

"Damn it!" Wukong's pupils shrank. At the critical moment, he twisted aside, and the scorching shock wave grazed his hair before slamming into the ground and forming a huge crater.

"Ah!" Piccolo was not so lucky. He hurriedly avoided his vital areas, but the shock wave's energy was terrifyingly vast, instantly vaporizing Piccolo's left arm!

"Boom!" The two shock waves roared, bursting out with a terrifying blast of air.

"Heh heh. Even teaming up, this is all you can do? Pathetic!" Raditz mocked.

"Piccolo, how are you?" Wukong asked.

"Don't worry. I've only got one hand left, but it won't affect the fight," Piccolo said, cold sweat running down his face.

"Keep him busy first and draw his attention away. I have a special move that can finish him," Piccolo said in a low voice.

"Got it!" Wukong said. Then he kicked off with his right foot and burst toward Raditz!

"Da! Da! Da! Da! Da!"

Wukong attacked Raditz as if he were staking his life on it.

"What's wrong, Kakarot? Is that all you've got?" Raditz calmly blocked with one hand, then took advantage of the momentum and kicked out with his right foot, sending Wukong flying instantly!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Wukong still did not give up. Just as he was about to be knocked to the ground, he planted both hands on the earth, and his whole body flew into the air ten meters away.

"Ka!" Wukong brought his hands together, gathering blue energy at his lower back.

"What? His battle power is rising? 924?" The numbers on the battle power detector over Raditz's left eye kept climbing.

"Me!"

"This brat concentrated his energy! He raised his battle power!"

"Ha!"

"Beep! Beep! Beep!"

"What?"

On the other side, Piccolo pointed his right fingers at his forehead, likewise gathering a massive amount of energy.

"Me!"

"Boom!"

Wukong thrust both hands forward, and a blue shock wave blasted toward Raditz!

"Heh!" Raditz caught Wukong's Kamehameha head-on with his left hand!

"Bang!"

Dust scattered everywhere. After it dispersed, only a little blood had been scraped from Raditz's left hand.

"Here's one for you!"

Raditz instantly fired a purple energy bullet from his left hand, knocking Wukong, whose strength was almost exhausted, to the ground.

"Die!" Raditz charged, trying to kill Wukong outright!

"You're the one who deserves to die!"

While Wukong stalled for time, Piccolo pressed his right hand to his forehead, gathering a vast amount of energy.

By now, Piccolo had fully accumulated his power, and his aura kept soaring!

"Special Beam Cannon!"

Piccolo pointed with his right hand, and a red-and-yellow energy wave twisted into a spiral, shooting toward Raditz at incredible speed!

"Battle power 1330! They can control their own battle power!"

Raditz was shocked and furious.

"Ah!" Raditz roared.

"Bang!" The beam did not lose any of its power, piercing straight through to the mountain peak behind him.

"Hah!" Raditz wiped away cold sweat. Luckily, in the instant before the beam struck, he had sensed the threat of death and just barely dodged his vitals.

But his right shoulder had still been grazed by the terrifying heat, taking away his tough shoulder armor and part of his flesh.

"Bastard! It actually pierced my battle armor! If that had hit me, I might really have died!" Raditz said, his heart still pounding.

"I'll never forgive you! You're dead!" With that, Raditz raised his left hand and condensed a terrifying ball of energy.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Powerful energy gathered in his hand, purple lightning flashing. In an instant, the energy surpassed the Special Beam Cannon Piccolo had gathered earlier.

"Die!" Raditz shouted!

"What!"

Just as Piccolo thought he was about to be killed, the energy ball in Raditz's hand suddenly dispersed. Then Raditz's body went limp, and he fell.

"You were too careless. I grabbed your tail!"

It turned out that Wukong, who had been lying on the ground, had taken advantage of Raditz's inattention to grab his tail!

"Piccolo! Hurry and use that move from just now again!" Wukong quickly said to Piccolo.

"Nice work, Sun Wukong. I can only use it one more time at most!"

"Kakarot, are you going to kill your only brother?" Raditz said weakly from the ground.

"Sun Wukong, don't listen to his nonsense. He won't let us go!" Piccolo hurriedly stopped him.

"I... I won't do that. Let me go, and I'm willing to leave this planet!" Raditz said miserably.

"Don't let go no matter what! This is a plot! He's tricking you!" Piccolo shouted, trying to stop Wukong.

"Please... please, little brother. I'll definitely keep my promise!" Raditz begged Wukong in a low voice to spare him.

The kindhearted Wukong still let go of Raditz's tail.

"Bang!"

Raditz's tail felt a wave of relief, and all his strength came back. He casually struck Wukong down and stepped on him.

"To be tricked so easily—you really aren't qualified to be a warrior."

"I'm different. I'm a first-rate warrior. I can kill my own little brother without hesitation."

"Hahaha! Does it hurt? Die!" Raditz pressed down hard with his foot, stepping on Wukong's wound.

"Ah!" Wukong screamed in agony.

"Farewell!"

A purple energy ball gradually condensed in Raditz's palm as he prepared to deliver the final blow to Wukong!

"Don't bully my dad!"

"Bang!" Along with a childish voice, a small figure broke through Raditz's spaceship and leaped out.

Wukong raised his head and saw a familiar figure.

"Gohan! Run!"

Wukong shouted urgently.

Raditz was also curious that Gohan had actually been able to break through the spaceship that had held him.

"Beep beep beep—"

The Scouter in front of Raditz's eye kept sounding.

"750, 850, 950..."

Raditz widened his eyes and looked at Gohan in horror.

"How is this possible! This kid's battle power is actually as high as 1000! And it's still rising!"

Piccolo and Wukong, both collapsed on the ground after exhausting their strength, were shocked as well.

"Don't bully my dad!"

Gohan's cheeks flushed crimson as he charged at Raditz in fury!

"Impossible!" For a moment, Raditz suspected his Scouter was broken.

Bang!

Caught unable to dodge in time, Raditz took Gohan's heavy blow to the chest!

"Ah!"

The Battle Armor on Raditz's chest shattered at once.

After Gohan's furious strike, Raditz had actually been badly injured!

"You damn little brat!"

Clutching his chest, Raditz charged angrily toward Gohan, who had collapsed to the ground after overexerting himself.

With just one blow, Gohan would have absolutely no hope of surviving!

"No!" Wukong shouted in despair, but having lost the ability to move, he could do nothing.
