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!
