AND stands with clenched fists, his eyes locked onto the stranger standing before him. Raditz, his older brother, exudes an aura of menace, his long hair swaying gently in the evening breeze. Gohan, a small boy with wide eyes, clings tightly to AND's leg. "Brother, it's been too long," Raditz smirks, his voice dripping with a mix of disdain and nostalgia. "Raditz, what do you want?" AND demands, his voice steady despite the turmoil within.

Raditz's eyes narrow as he steps forward, the ground crunching beneath his boots. "I've come for the boy," he declares, pointing a gloved finger at Gohan. Gohan tightens his hold on AND, fear evident in his small features. "You can't have him," AND responds, his voice firm. "He's my son and I'll protect him with my life."

Raditz chuckles darkly, his expression one of twisted amusement. "You don't even know his true potential, do you?" he taunts. AND bristles at the implication, the protective instinct flaring within him. "What are you talking about?" he challenges. "Gohan is just a child."

Raditz's sneer fades into a look of determination as he squares off against AND. "Then let's see if you can protect him," he growls, launching himself forward with blinding speed. AND barely has time to react, instinctively pushing Gohan behind him.

The brothers clash in a flurry of punches and kicks, their movements a blur against the dimming light. AND's heart pounds in his chest as he fights not only for his son but for the family he barely knows. "I won't let you take him!" AND shouts, deflecting a powerful blow. Raditz snarls in response, his strength relentless.

Raditz steps back, breathing heavily, yet his eyes are still filled with determination. "This isn't over, brother," he declares, retreating into the shadows. AND stands his ground, Gohan at his side, knowing full well the battle has only just begun. "We'll be ready," AND vows, the weight of his promise echoing in the silence of the forest.
