The Saiyajin Saga:
Seven years have passed since the end of the Dragonball series, and Goku has settled down after he and Chichi have their first child, Gohan. All is peaceful until Goku's evil brother, Radditz, lands on the Earth. He tells Goku that he belongs to an alien race known as the Saiyajin, and that he was supposed to exterminate all life on the planet so that it could be sold to the highest bidder. However, since Goku hit his head as a kid, he forgot his orders and became a peace-loving child. Radditz offered Goku to join him in conquering the universe, but of course he was turned down. Angered that he would not do his bidding, Radditz kidnaps Gohan.
Obviously overpowered, Goku teams up with his arch-rival Piccolo to get his son back. Both attacking at the same time, Goku and Piccolo are still no match for the battle-hardened Radditz. Piccolo tells Goku of a new attack he has been working on, one that should be able to defeat Radditz. However, it takes a long time to charge up, so Goku has to face Radditz alone for five minutes. Goku puts up a good fight, but gets socked around quite a bit. Piccolo fires his Makankosappo while Radditz is busy with Goku, but he misses. Gohan, enraged by the pain being done to his father, attacks Radditz and greatly weakens him. Goku manages to get Radditz in a hold, and tells Piccolo to charge his attack again. Piccolo fires the Makankosappo a second time, hitting both Radditz and Goku. They both die in a matter of minutes.
Here the story splits into three, which all come together in a climax at the end of the saga. Before dying, Radditz is told about the DragonBalls and their power to grant any wish. He signals the other two Saiyajins, Nappa and Vegeta, to come to Earth so that they may take the dragonballs for themselves. The journey to Earth takes one year, giving the Earthlings little time to prepare. Meanwhile in heaven, Goku begins his voyage to Lord Kai, who lives at the end of a ten-thousand mile long snake path. It takes him a good nine months, while along the way being attacked by demons and giant snakes. When he finally reaches Lord Kai, Goku learns the Kao-Ken technique, enabling him to multiply his own strength at the sacrifice of his body. The third sub-story involves how the other defenders of Earth prepare for the battle. Kuririn, Yamcha, and the others all recieve training from Kame. During this time Piccolo teaches Gohan how to use his tremendous hidden powers so that he may assist in the battle.
A year has passed, and the Saiyajins land in a heavily populated city. After destroying it, they head to battle Piccolo and the others. The earthlings put up a good fight, but unfortunately Goku has not returned yet from his training and is unable to assist them. Seeing how weak their opponants are, the Saiyajins unleash six Saiba men, each as powerful as Radditz was. They are destroyed fairly easily, but unfortunately Yamcha is killed as one of the aliens self-destructs. Nappa then decides to join the fray, and he easily kills Tien and Chau-Zu without taking much damage. Kuririn then tells Vegeta to wait for Goku to arrive, as then they would have a fighting chance. They wait for three hours, but no Goku. The battle resumes, when finally Goku gets back to Earth. Seeing that he might be a problem, Vegeta orders Nappa to kill the others before Goku arrives. Piccolo is destroyed, and since he and Kame are linked psychically linked, Kame disappears as well. Kuririn and Gohan are the only survivors when Goku arrives. Extremely angry, Goku defeats Nappa quickly. He then battles Vegeta, who proves to be too weak for Goku. Seeing that he was overpowered, Vegeta transforms himself into a Saiyajin. He badly cripples Goku before Yachirobe cuts off his tail, the source of his power. Kuririn and Gohan then battle Vegeta, and using some of Goku's spirit bomb, they manage to make him flee the planet.
The Freeza Saga:
With Piccolo, Chau-Zu, Tien, and Yamcha dead, Bulma, Gohan and Kuririn begin a journey to Namek to find the Dragonballs and wish their friends back. (Goku is too injured at this time to go himself) They fly their way towards Namek, meeting shape shifting creatures, mirror ships, and other hazards. Vegeta during this time returns to Freeza's base and rejuvinates himself back to full health, and zips his way towards Namek to wish for immortality. Kuririn and Gohan finally reach the planet, only to find that Freeza has already collected five of the seven balls. At this time Goku has recovered, and he uses a special ship that is capable of raising gravity up to 100x Earth's. His power increases exponentially under the intense force. Seeing that he is obviously overpowered by Freeza and his men, Kuririn goes to the Senior Elder Namek, Guru, for assistance. Guru awakens Kuririn's hidden power, and gives him the Dragonball that he had created. He warns Kuririn that once he dies the Dragonballs will disappear, and that his time was near.
In the mean time Vegeta has collected a ball himself, and he hides it so that it is out of harm's way. He then battles Zarbon, who almost destroys him. Freeza has Vegeta rejuvinated so that he could reveal the location of the other two Dragonballs. He manages to escape and steal the five balls that Freeza has collected. Greatly angered, Freeza sends Zarbon to find Vegeta and bring back the orange spheres. Both Vegeta and Zarbon spot Kuririn returning with Guru's ball, and take up chase. Zarbon and Vegeta battle once again, this time Vegeta coming out as the victor. Kuririn gives up the ball without a fight, as he knows he does not stand a chance against the more powerful Saiyajin. Thinking he has all seven balls, Vegeta goes to fetch the one he hid. However, Gohan manages to find the last one, and returns to Kuririn and Bulma with the ball in his hands.
Freeza, now extremely angry that he does not have the balls in his possesion, orders that the Ginyu Force be summoned. Kuririn and Gohan zoom towards Guru, leaving the ball in the care of Bulma, so that Gohan's powers could be awakened. Vegeta, finding out that Gohan has the last ball, takes off in pursuit of him. Kuririn, Gohan, and Vegeta all reach Guru's house at about the same time, although Gohan has a good enough lead so that he could get the power-up from Guru. Sensing that the Ginyu force had landed, Vegeta manages to make a pact with the Gohan and Kuririn. All three race to Bulma's hiding place to retrieve the last dragonball, afterwards they rush to where the other five were hidden. Unfortunately, the Ginyu force beats them to the spot, and they use their superior powers to get the other two balls from Kuririn, Gohan, and Vegeta. Commander Ginyu returns the dragonballs to Freeza.
The rest of the Ginyu force use a sophisticated game to find out who will fight first. (Rock, paper, scissors :P) It is determined that Gerudo will be the first to go, and he faces off against Kuririn and Gohan. By freezing time and using other various tricks, Gerudo gets the upper hand on the fight. At the last moment, however, Vegeta sends a blast of energy and decapitates Gerudo. During this time, the Dragonballs reach Freeza. He is unable to summon the dragon, and races to Guru's house to find out what the magic words are. Ginyu guards the Dragonballs, which are buried next to Freeza's ship. Rikum is the next to do battle, and beats Vegeta to a bloody pulp. Kuririn is taken out with a kick in the head, leaving only Gohan to fight. Gohan manages to do some damage to Rikum, but he gets roughed up as well.
Just as things are looking their worst, Goku finally arrives in his ship. He gives Sensu beans to Kuririn, Gohan, and Vegeta, and knocks out Rikum in one punch. Jese and Burter begin to attack Goku, but they prove no match for him. Burter is knocked out as well, and Jese flys to Commander Ginyu to get help. Ginyu arrives on the scene, but he is also overpowered by Goku. In the meantime, Vegeta abandons the fight to find the Dragonballs. Kuririn and Gohan also depart for the same destination, hoping they will beat Vegeta to them. Seeing that he will be defeated, Ginyu switches bodies with Goku. Ginyu uses his new body to return to Freeza's ship. Now in the damaged, less powerful body of Ginyu, Goku chases the rest as fast as he can. Vegeta reaches the ship first, but is unable to locate the Dragonballs. Figuring that Gohan and Kuririn would use the Dragonball scouter to locate them, he hides and waits. At this time Guru senses Freeza's approach, and sends Dende to tell Kuririn and Gohan the words needed to summon the Dragon. Freeza arrives at Guru's house, but as expected they refuse to tell him the magic words. Neil, Guru's bodyguard, faces off against Freeza. Even though he is currently the most powerful of the Nameks, Freeza easily defeats him with one hand. Neil tells Freeza that Dende knows the words, and that he was just stalling for time. Freeza races back to his ship, neglecting to kill off Neil.
Kuririn and Gohan use the scouter to find where the Dragonballs are buried, but they are also unable to summon the Dragon. Ginyu gets to the ship, still in Goku's body, followed by the real Goku. Goku tells Kuririn and Gohan what happened, and they attack Ginyu. Still not used to his new body, Ginyu has a tough time with the earthlings. Vegeta joins in and badly messes up Ginyu. (and Goku's body) Once again outmatched, Ginyu tries his change trick again, this time on Vegeta. However, Goku flies into the beam and is restored to his old body. Ginyu tries again to get Vegeta's body, but Goku throws a frog into the beam. Ginyu becomes trapped in the body of a frog :)
Vegeta offers to help Goku, who's body is now badly damaged. Goku is placed in a Rejuvination pod, which can restore him to full health in 45 minutes. Tired from his countless battles on Namek, Vegeta takes a short nap. During Vegeta's sleep Kuririn and Gohan meet up with Dende. Dende summons the dragon, and their first wish is to bring Piccolo back to life. Their second wish is to warp Piccolo to Namek so that he could assist in the battle. At this time Vegeta wakes up, and he realizes that they had summoned the dragon without him. He rushes over and demands they grant him immortality, but just before the words could be uttered, the Senior Elder dies. The dragonballs lose their power, and Vegeta's wish is not granted. Just when Vegeta thinks things can not possibly get worse, Freeza arrives at the scene.
Although Piccolo has now warped to the surface of Namek, he is no where near the battlefield. Sensing that Gohan was in danger, Piccolo races to him. However, he doesn't go too far before he discovers the battered Neil. Neil offers to merge with Piccolo so that his power would increase several times over, but Piccolo is reluctant. Seeing that there was no other way to beat Freeza, Piccolo absorbs the weak Ki of Neil. Meanwhile, Vegeta and Freeza begin to battle, proving to be equals at this point. Knowing that he would need more power to win, Freeza transforms into a large, demon like beast. His speed and power increase dramatically, and his new form is much larger then before. Now fearing for his life, Vegeta backs off from Freeza. Using his horns, Freeza rushes Kuririn and stabs him in the gut, rendering the bald hero unconscious and nearly dead.
Since Vegeta fears Freeza, only Gohan is left to do battle. Enraged by what looked like to be Kuririn's death, Gohan manages to connect a few attacks on Freeza. Now angered, Freeza throws Gohan around, and knocks him out as well. However, unknown to Freeza, Dende has the power to heal, and restores Kuririn to full power. Using a Kienzan, Kuririn manages to catch Freeza off-guard and cut off his tail. To give Dende time to heal Gohan, Kuririn leads Freeza on a goose chase.
Under Construction...More to come!
