Saiyan Saga

Dragon Ball Z open with Goku going to visit his old friends on Master Roshi's island. But soon Piccolo, Goku's arch nemesis, arrives followed shortly by Goku's older Brother Raditz. Raditz tells Goku that he is a Saiyan from outer space, and that he is to rejoin the Saiyan forces. Goku refuses, and Raditz kidnaps his son, Gohan. Piccolo decides to join forces with Goku temporarily to end this new menace.

The battle ensues with Raditz easily holding off the attacks by Goku and Piccolo. Then finally Piccolo finds a way. His Special Beam Cannon, a move he perfected to use against Goku, finds purchase, wounding Raditz as he barely dodges, but gets nicked in passing. Knowing that it would be the only way, Goku sacrifices himself to hold Raditz still while Piccolo fires one last time. The beam travels through both Raditz and Goku, killing them both.

After Goku's death, Kame, the guardian of the Earth, requests he be sent to King Kai's place for special training. The Earth's defenders find out that more Saiyans, much more powerful than Raditz, will be coming soon. Piccolo takes Gohan, after seeing his high power level, for special training for the upcoming fight. The other fighters, Tien, Yamcha, Krillin, and Choazu, begin training for the Saiyans' arrival. Goku makes it to King Kai's after a couple misadventures on the Snake Way path and begins his training.

One Year after Goku's death the Saiyans arrive on Earth, looking for the dragon balls. The Earth's special forces arrive after Napa destroys a small city. Soon the media and the military arrive to watch over the monumental battle. Vegeta and Napa, the two saiyans, decide to employ the help of their Saibamen, small green men who grow out of a seed planted in the ground in a couple minutes time. Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Choazu decide to fight the Saibamen one at a time. Vegeta agrees to those terms and the tournament like battle ensues. Yamcha beats a Saibaman, but while his back is turned, it jumps from the ground and latches onto him. It selfdestructs, killing Yamcha in the process. Krillin gets really mad and fires off a blast that starts the end of the Saibamen. Once the team has beaten the Saibamen, the bigger of the two saiyans, Napa, steps up to battle.

No one is even able to touch Napa, who proves way to strong and fast for the outclassed humans. Choazu comes the closest when he attempts to pull Napa into an alternate dimension (kill him), but Napa blocks just in time and Choazu ends up dead. Tien goes into a rage, and launches a suicide attack against the giant alien. Before Napa finally kills Tien, he chops his arm off. Napa is a little bruised after the fight with Tien but he is pretty unharmed. Just as Napa goes to fight against the remaining 3 fighters, Vegeta calls a time out to give Kakorot (Goku) time to arrive on the scene. The 3 hour time out expires and the fighting resumes. Napa launches a blast at Gohan, and Piccolo jumps in front of the blast and takes the shot. Piccolo dies from Napa's blast, but Gohan is spared. Napa's assault continues against Gohan and Krillin. Enter Goku!!

Goku makes sport of Napa for a bit before eventually Vegeta, sick of his partner's incompetence, kills Napa. That leaves Vegeta and Goku to battle it out. The fights runs to a stalemate before Vegeta pulls out his ace, a blast of energy meant to mimic the full moon. Vegeta goes into Oozaru, big monkey, form and starts to convincingly win the fight. Eventually the cowardly Yajirobe comes to the rescue cutting off Vegeta's tail. Goku blasts him with a kamehameha, sending him far far away. Yajirobe leaves before Vegeta can come back, and Goku tries to gather what little energy he has left for the rest of the fight.

After the battle ends and Vegeta retreats back to space, Goku, Krillin, and Gohan are rushed to the hospital. Krillin and Gohan are out in no time but Goku isn't so lucky. He's in a near body cast. Now that Piccolo has died that means Kame has died, due to their link. So Bulma decides to lead an expedition to Kame's home planet, Namek, to use their dragon balls to revive their fallen comrades. They acquire Kame's old ship and take off for the far away planet. They run into a couple obstacles along the way, a fake mockup of Namek with some malicious aliens, and a spaceship filled with refugees who think they are the bad guys. But they eventually arrive on the Namek. Goku gets out of the hospital when Yajirobe brings him a Sensu Bean to heal him. He gets a ship from Bulma's father, Dr. Briefs, and heads toward Namek to help his friends.

Freeza Saga

After Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma arrive on Namek, they discover that evil forces are already at work on Namek looking for the Dragon Balls also. They search high and low for dragon balls, but usually come up empty handed. Soon Vegeta arrives on Namek as well and pursues the dragon balls too. Vegeta clashes with Frieza's forces time and time again, as Gohan and Krillin avoid anyone they come across. Eventually they meet some of the Nameks and head to see Guru, the elder Namek, who opens up their hidden power. During the mad hunt for the dragon balls, Vegeta battles and kills Zarbon, Dodoria, and Cooey, three of Frieza's strongest minions. Vegeta steals the dragon balls from Frieza and is only missing one, the one Gohan found. To beat Frieza, Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta team up against the great evil.

Frieza is infuriated by Vegeta's insolence, and calls for the Ginyu force, his super squadron of dancing morons. Once the Ginyu Force arrives they catch up with Vegeta and the others and prepare to take the dragon balls. Captain Ginyu takes the balls back to Frieza while the others decide who gets to kill Krillin, Vegeta, and Gohan. Guldo, the frog-looking weakling of the bunch, goes first against Gohan and Krillin. The fight seems to be going in Gohan's favor when Guldo catches them off guard and it looks like they could be done for. Vegeta, however, still needs them, so he kills Guldo and saves Gohan and Krillin. Recoome steps up next to fight. He pretty much beats the hell out of all 3 of them. He beats up Vegeta, then Krillin, and finally Gohan. Just when it looks like Gohan is done in, here comes Goku.

Goku finally shows up, stronger than ever after training in 100 times earth gravity. He stops Recoome with one blow, then Burter and Jeice burst into action to defeat this new threat. He stops them pretty easily and Jeice retreats to summon Captain Ginyu to help. The captain shows up to settle things. After he sees how strong Goku really is, Ginyu pulls a special attack that switches their bodies. Goku is stuck in Ginyu's body, as the Captain flies off with Jeice to fool Gohan and Krillin. Gohan and Krillin fight Ginyu, and when Vegeta joins in it turns into a massacre. Vegeta kills the unconscious Burter, and Recoome. Then while Gohan and Krillin fight Ginyu, Vegeta chases down and kills Jeice. With that finished, Vegeta beats on Ginyu for a while. Ginyu gets ready to take Vegeta's body, but Goku jumps in the way at the last minute to get his body back. Then when Ginyu tries again, Goku throws a frog in the path of the beam. With Ginyu in a frog's body, the battle with the Ginyus is finally done. The new team of Goku, Vegeta, Gohan and Krillin go to Frieza's ship to heal and prepare for Frieza's eminent arrival. Gohan and Krillin wait for Vegeta to fall asleep and go to make their wish with the dragon balls. They bring Piccolo back to life, and transport him to Namek to help fight Frieza. But before they can get their 3rd wish Vegeta wakes up and shows up on the scene. Before Vegeta can get his wish granted, Guru dies and the dragon balls become useless. It's about this time that Frieza arrives and he's not in a good mood.

After Vegeta and the guys fight Frieza for a little bit, Piccolo merges with the fallen Namek warrior Nail, and arrives on the scene to help. Frieza goes into his second form and spears Krillin. Dende however heals Krillin before he dies. Gohan steps up to fight Frieza and gets beat pretty bad, but Dende heals him too. Piccolo puts up the best fight against Frieza. Frieza goes into his third form and Piccolo can barely handle the new battle mate. By the time Frieza reaches his fourth form Piccolo is pretty outmatched. Before Frieza goes to 4th form, Vegeta talks Krillin into blasting him and then getting Dende to heal him to massively buildup his power. Soon after Frieza's fourth form, he kills little Dende, after seeing the tiny Namek's ability to heal the others. The fighters put up a pretty useless fight against the super-powerful Frieza. Not even Vegeta can touch him.

Goku shows up right as Frieza kills Vegeta, and it looks like Goku has the upper hand for a while. But Frieza proves too much for even Goku to handle. Even after hitting him with a high powered Spirit Bomb attack Frieza still keeps coming. But then Frieza kills Krillin. Goku goes into a terrible rage at this latest atrocity by the evil warlord. Goku starts teeming with new power and he achieves the form of Super Saiyan. A high powered, blonde haired, blue eyes fighting machine. The fight starts turning against Frieza so to ensure his victory he blasts Namek's core, setting the planet to explode in mere moments. Goku and Frieza fight for a good long time until Frieza makes a mistake and ends up sliced up. Goku gives Frieza a small amount of energy so he can survive the blast of the planet's explosion, but Frieza uses this energy to attack Goku. The super saiyan goes ahead and finishes the job, killing Frieza.

After the Nameks and everyone else on the planet, except Goku and Frieza, are wished to the Planet Earth, the heroes use the dragon balls to wish everyone back to life. Goku refuses to come back to Earth because he is not dead and he is training with his new power. Everything returns to something resembling normal and the Nameks go to their home on New Namek.

Garlic Jr. Saga

Once things get calmed down after the the battle with Frieza, Garlic Jr. returns from the Dead Zone to cause problems once again. He takes Kame and Mr. Popo hostage, and releases his Black Water Mist on the Earth. The evil mist causes people to becomes super violent and turn on one another. Piccolo tricks him into thinking he has been turned by the mist, in order to get close enough to Kame's prison in the bottle. Once the farce is unmasked Kame and Mr. Popo are freed and they take the Sacred Water, the only cure for the mist, to the 7 winds to spread them across the world.

Garlic Jr. escaped the Dead Zone by drawing power from the Makioh Star. The star powers his battle against Piccolo, Krillin, and Gohan. Eventually it comes down just like in the movie Dead Zone. Garlic Jr. once again tries to draw the heroes into the Dead Zone and once again Gohan thwarts his attack and bounces him into the Dead Zone instead.

Andriod Saga

There was an evil force coming to earth,it was Freeza, he did not die from the explosion of Namek or Goku's ki blast. He was not the only one who was coming., Freeza's father, King Cold, was coming too, he was even stronger than Freeza. Freeza had been blown up pretty well and over half of his body was missing. He was given a android body, so most of us call him Freeza Bot. Vegeta warned everyone of this great danger, they showed up where Vegeta said they probably would. Freeza's ship arrived, and Freeza gave the word to kill all of the earthlings. As soon his men went to do that, his men fell into pieces at the ground, as if they had been sliced. Then a young boy named Trunks landed, he pissed off Freeza a bit (by talking trash) and then claimed he was a Super Saiyajin. He turned SSJ (to prove that he was a Saiyajin). Freeza was reminded of the fight with Goku on Namek, so he became enraged and attacked Trunks. Trunks would say stuff like, "If that was your best then you are weak." Just to piss him off. Freeza went to attack Trunks again, but then Trunks was gone... then Freeza heard Trunks scream, "FREEZA!!" and Trunks shot at Freeza. Freeza just dodged it, but as he looked up Trunks was right behind him coming at him with his sword drawn! Trunks sliced Freeza in half. As all this was happening the rest of the z-team watched from a cliff peak. Trunks then slashed Freeza into about 70 different pieces, they where just floating in the air. Trunks then shot a ki blast at the floating pieces, burning them to ash. Then he killed King Cold with ease. He met up with the z-team, he told them, "I'm going to meet Son Goku! Want to come?" It was odd, he knew exactly where Goku would arrive, they waited and waited, then Goku arrived! Trunks then told Goku in private that he was from the future, and that there where going to be 2 androids wrecking havoc on earth. Goku wanted to fight them, but them Trunk told Goku that before that would happen he would die of a heart virus. He then gave Goku a little bottle of pills and told him to take them when he felt the signs of the heart attack. Goku was going to be saved! Trunks then left. The Z-team trained for 3 years till the day arrived when they had to fight the androids. They where all much stronger than they where before. They found the androids, they where #19 and #20. #20 almost killed Yamcha (by sticking his hand right through this stomach). Then they went off to a remote island to fight. Vegeta had not shown up yet. They had information on everyone there, ever since Goku destroyed the Red Ribbon army they had collected data on them, they stopped collecting data since Goku fought Vegeta. Goku had a trick up his sleeve... He showed them the power of the Super Saiyajin! He started fighting #19. Goku was winning for a bit, then he started having to gulp for air, he was having his heart attack. #19 had the advantage and started using a little red ball in his palm to suck energy out of Goku. Goku was getting weak. Then out of nowhere #19 got a kick to the face (a fat face =P). It was Vegeta, he told Goku that if anyone was going to kill him, it had to be himself. Yamcha took Goku too Chi Chi and the pills that Trunks had given them. Vegeta told the androids that they did not know what they where dealing with. He said that he was able to go Super Saiyajin as well. With a blast of rage Vegeta turned SSJ. He then whooped #19. #19 tried to steal Vegeta's power by grabbing his arms. #19 only got his arms ripped off. He started running away from Vegeta, but Vegeta rose into the sky and said, "This is what I call 'Super Vegeta's BIG BANG ATTACK!!!" and shot a ball of ki at #19. #19's body blew up at his head was separated from his body, he was dead. #20 was afraid and thought he needed more help, so he started running off into the cliffs. Trunks then arrived at the battlefield and saw that fat white head on the ground (#19's head). He said that they have been fighting the wrong androids the whole time. They left to follow #20. He hid for a while then made it out to his lab, he was really the creator of all the androids, his name was Dr. Gero. They followed him to his lab, when they got there it was too late, the Androids killed Dr. Gero. One looked like a young boy and one looked like a pretty girl. The androids (#18 and #17) saw another android locked up in a chamber. They where about to unlock the chamber, but Trunks saw that they where about to let another android loose so he flipped and blew the lab up. The other android was still in his chamber and the other androids where not even scratched. They let the other android out, he was HUGE! His name was #16. He didn't talk a lot and he was peaceful. They then flew away from the Z-team (To find Son Goku). Then Vegeta went to follow them and Trunks tried to stop him, Vegeta hit Trunks out of the way and flew where the androids flew. #17 (the boyish one) said they should stop and look for a car to ride, they where in no hurry. So they stopped at a main road and waited. Vegeta then arrived and then a fight started between #18 (the pretty girl) and Vegeta. Vegeta seemed to be winning at first, but then #18 said she would use more power. She beat Vegeta down! Then the rest of the Z-team arrived and started to fight. #17 joined in too. By the time the androids where done with the z-team, the z-team had broken arms, backs and so on and so on. Kuririn gave them each a senzu after the androids left. Vegeta took of, his pride was hurt more than he was (being beaten by a girl). Then Kuririn said, "Ah, Piccolo, I'm sure glad you're on our side now." Piccolo then got enraged and yelled, "I AM THE ARCH DEMON PICCOLO! I HAVE JUST BEEN USING YOU SO I CAN TAKE OVER THE EARTH!" He shot a blast at the floor and flew away. Kuririn laughed and said that Piccolo was just bluffing. He pointed out that Piccolo flew towards Kamisama's palace. He said that they where going to become one again so Piccolo could have lots of strength and beat the androids.
