The Saiya-jin 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 Saiya-jin, 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 Saiya-jins, 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 Saiya-jins 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 opponents are, the Saiya-jins 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 Chaozu 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 an Oozaru. He badly cripples Goku before Yachirobe cuts off his tail, the source of his power. Kuririn and Gohan then battle Vegeta, and using Goku's failed Genki-Dama, they manage to make him flee the planet.

The Freeza Saga:

Freeza Time LineWith 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 Saiya-jin. 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.

Now about to move in for the kill, Freeza is confronted by the now fully healed Gohan. But just as they were to begin the battle, Piccolo arrives! He boldly states that he will take on Freeza by himself. Now a "Super Namek," Piccolo proves to Freeza that he is not only his equal but is fact a superior fighter. With his back to the wall, Freeza decides that his 2nd form would not be enough to defeat Piccolo. He announces that he can transform two more times, and proceeds to his 3rd form (He looks very similar to the Queen from the movie Aliens).

Piccolo resumes the battle after the transformation, but finds 3rd form Freeza to be much faster and much more powerful. Seeing Piccolo being blasted repeatedly pushes Gohan over the edge, and he manages to land a few key blows. Once again Freeza feels he is being outmatched. He says that they were going to be very lucky to see his final form, as he never had to use it before. During the lengthy transformation process, Vegeta coerces Kuririn into blasting a hole through his torso. Vegeta believes that the boost in strength a Saiya-jin gets after being healed near death will be enough to change him into a Super Saiya-jin. Unwilling to rejuvinate one who had killed so many of his people, Dende flies over to the badly injured Piccolo and revives him. Flying over to the young Namek, Kuririn and Gohan convince Dende that the only way to win the battle would be to heal Vegeta.

Now fully recovered, Vegeta gives Dende a swift hit for not healing him sooner. Freeza finally changes into his 4th form, and his first order of business is killing Dende. With no one left to heal, Freeza knows that the odds are in his favor. Vegeta goes head to head with the now small and round looking creature, but finds that even with his new power that he is simply a toy. Freeza counters all of his attacks with ease, and proceeds to beat him to a pulp while Piccolo and the other helplessly watch. Just as Freeza is about to adminster the final blow, Goku arrives fully recharged from the rejuvination pod. Vegeta mocks Freeza, and is shot through the heart by the angered villain. Before he dies, he tells Goku that Freeza must be destroyed by a Saiya-jin, as Vegeta's pride took a big blow in his defeat. Touched by Vegeta's courage and honor, Goku gives him a decent burial at the battlefield.

Freeza and Goku begin the long battle, with neither side getting the immediate upper hand. Using an energy trap, Freeza manages to paralyze Goku within a ball of energy. Goku survives the onslaught he receives in paralysis, and there is a slight pause in the action. Freeza announces that he can defeat Goku without using his hands, and does manage to keep Goku busy even with the handicap. However, Freeza underestimated his power, and is forced to use his arms to defend himself.

Meanwhile, Captain Ginyu, trapped in the body of a frog, has gotten Bulma to place a device on him that would allow him to speak. Yelling "CHANGE," Ginyu takes Bulma's body and turns the confused girl into a frog. Wanting to see how his master was doing, Ginyu races in a speeder to the battlegrounds (With Bulma hanging on for dear life). Seeing that Goku was equal to him at this level, Freeza powers up to 50% and begins to wallop the Saiya-jin. Ginyu, in Bulma's body, attempts his change technique on Piccolo, but Bulma leaps in front of the blast. Now back in his frog form, Ginyu tries his best to avoid getting killed by Freeza and Goku's stray blasts.

Goku, getting messed up pretty badly, powers up using the Kaio Ken technique with a factor of 20. But even with this extra surge Goku is no match for Freeza at half power. With no other options left, he begins the lengthy process of gathering a Genki-Dama. Needing a few minutes to charge it up, Piccolo launches a suicide attack on Freeza to distract him. Even with the occaisional help from Gohan and Kuririn, Piccolo gets sorely beaten by the much stronger opponent. With Piccolo down, Freeza turns his glance to Goku. Since the Genki-Dama was gathering very high up in the sky, Freeza had no idea what the heck our hero was doing holding his arms straight up.

As these events take place on Namek, Tien, Chaozu, and Yamcha are now confronted by the Ginyu force (except the captain of course) on Kai's planet. Challenging them to a battle, the two groups fight it out. Realizing that the Ginyu were no match for them, they use their various techniques to send each down to hell.

Even after a few attacks by Freeza (who thinks Goku is mocking him), Goku maintains his pose. As the giant ball of energy is completed, Freeza gets fed up with Goku's attitude. He begins to gather energy to destroy Namek, but then notices the tremendous Genki-Dama directly above his head. Goku sends the ball of death onto Freeza, causing a huge explosion that scars the planet. After the dust settles, Piccolo, Gohan, Kuririn, and Goku all gather on a small island. Thinking they have finally beaten Freeza, they half-heartedly celebrate. However, looking up at a tall pillar of rock, Kuririn sees that Freeza is still very much alive. Firing a blast at Goku, Piccolo jumps in front of it and takes a hole in the chest. Not stopping there, Freeza uses his powers to lift Kuririn into the air and blow him to pieces. Completely enraged by his best friend's death, Goku's hair begins to turn blond and his eyes begin to turn green. Goku has finally become a Super Saiya-jin.

Informing Gohan that Piccolo is not dead, he orders him to return to the ship with the unconscious Namek. Not wanting to let anyone get away, Freeza moves to strike Gohan, but is halted when Goku grabs onto his hand and crushes it. Trying a variety of attacks, Freeza is unable to damage Goku in any way. As nothing else seems to work, Freeza gathers another Planet destroying energy ball, which Goku is unable to deflect. The ball creates a huge hole in the planet that goes all the way to its core. Freeza says the planet will be completely destroyed in 5 minutes, and that only he can live in outer space.

With Piccolo resurrected, Kami has also risen from the dead. Quickly gathering the Dragonballs, Goku asks him to make a wish to bring everyone that Freeza had killed back to life. The Senior Elder was brought back to life with all the others, and with him returned to the mortal plain, the Namek balls regained their power. Porunga, the Dragon of Namek, still had one wish remaining, and Dende is ordered by the Elder to go make it. Goku asks that he grant a wish to transport everyone except Freeza and himself from Namek to Earth (Even Vegeta). Dende yells out the request, and Freeza is left alone with Goku to do battle. With his job done, the Senior Elder gives the power of the Dragonballs to another Namek, and passes away peacefully.

Now able to fight to the death, Freeza charges up to full power. Goku has a little trouble with Freeza, but not much. Feeling that he is superior to the purple villain, Goku says that there is no point in continuing the match as he will win it anyway. Greatly insulted by this remark, Freeza forms a Kienzan and hurls it at Goku who is now slowly flying away. It barely misses him, and Goku is forced to resume the fight. Chased around by the thin disk, Goku still manages to keep clear of it. Frustrated, Freeza forms ANOTHER Kienzan, and sends it to follow Goku as well. Using clever tactics, Goku gets Freeza to slice himself in half with his own technique. Now almost dead, Freeza begs Goku for help. Unable to leave Freeza to die, he gives him a bit of his Ki so that he may leave the planet before it explodes. Freeza has other plans though, and uses Goku's gift to make one final attack. Angered by Freeza's stubborness, Goku vaporizes the remaining part of his body.

With Namek about to destroy itself any second, Goku frantically rushes to Freeza's ship in a hope to start it. Unable to locate the controls, the ship plunges into a lava-filled ravine. With no alternatives, Goku screams "SHIIIIIIIIIIT!" Namek is blown away into dust, and Goku's whereabouts are unknown.

With the Namek balls now on Earth, Tenshinhan, Chaozu, and Yamcha are all wished back to life. They try to bring Goku back to life, but Porunga informs them that Goku is not dead, and does not wish to return to Earth yet. Baffled, Goku's friends continue and use the balls to locate another habitable planet for the Nameks. New Namek is established, and the former inhabitants of Old Namek are teleported there. Yet the wait for Goku continues with no further contact from our hero...

The Garlic Jr. Saga:

Having freed himself from the Dead Zone, Garlic Jr. attacks Kami-sama's lookout with the help of four new underlings, trapping God and his assistant in a bottle. He uses this opportunity to release the Aquamist, a gas that basically turns anyone it reaches into a demon. Meanwhile, Gohan has snuck away from home with Haiya Dragon in order to visit his friends. Kuririn has a new girlfriend named Maron, and at the moment are with Buruma, Oolong, and the old man himself at Kame house. The Aquamist reaches the island, transforming them all into demons (With the exception of Kuririn and Maron, who were underwater when the mist passed over them). Gohan and his dragon manage to escape the effects as well.

Having now reached the island, Gohan finds himself attacked by his friends. Garlic Jr.'s minions arrive (which FUNimation has dubbed the Spice Boys), and inform Gohan of the Super Holy Water, the only thing that can counter the Aquamist. Piccolo comes to Gohan's rescue, but is bitten by one of the demons, and turns against our young hero as well.

Upon reaching Kami-sama's tower, Gohan meets Garlic Jr, who tells him how the Makyosei's (a red star) close approach to Earth freed him from the Dead Zone, and makes him stronger by the minute. Garlic Jr. orders his men to focus their attacks on Gohan, because it was him that banished the evil lord to the Dead Zone in the first place (although Kuririn still tries to help Gohan). Meanwhile, Vegeta is searching for Goku in deep space, hoping to keep up with his level of strength.

Piccolo begins to attack Gohan one on one, and does some serious damage to him. Kuririn, getting in the way of the battle, is bitten by Piccolo, and joins in against Gohan. It is at this moment that Piccolo steals the bottle containing Kami-sama and Popo from Garlic Jr. and releases them. Piccolo explains that since he is already a demon, the aquamist bite had no affect on him. Garlic Jr. becomes enraged, and the Makyosei approaches its apogee to Earth.

Knowing that there is no way to release the Super Holy Water before daybreak, Popo suggests that it be poured into the holes beneath Kami's palace where the winds would carry it around the world. However, on the way to this place rests the bodies of all the previous Kamis, known as the Shinsenkai. Any living Kami that attempts to pass through this area is in great danger. As the battle with Garlic Jr. and his minions continues on the surface, Kami is attacked by the previous gods, who drain his life force. Since Piccolo and Kami-sama are still spirtually linked, Piccolo begins to suffer in his battle. Despite the incredible amount of pain, Kami and Popo press on, finally reaching the bottom of the palace. With the dead gods busy attacking Kami, Popo manages to release the Super Holy Water, returning the Earth's population to normal.

Back on the surface, Gohan, Kuririn, and Piccolo continue to do battle with Garlic Jr, who becomes stronger every second. Gohan bores a hole into Garlic Jr.'s abdomen, but due to his wish of immortality, is resurrected on the spot. Finding out that the Aquamist has been countered by Kami, Garlic Jr. creates a new Dead Zone, hoping to suck the entire palace from its foundation. Gohan creates an energy shield around himself and his friends so that they will not be absorbed into the tear, but uses much of his energy maintaining it. Piccolo distracts Garlic Jr, allowing Gohan to destroy the Makyosei. With the evil star now gone, Garlic Jr. loses all of his power, and falls into the Dead Zone once again. With Garlic Jr. gone and peace once again restored, the Z warriors wonder where Goku could possibly be...

The Android Saga:

The android saga begins with Future Trunks, Gohan and Buruma living in a horrible desolate world. There are two androids, both about as powerful as a Super Saiya-jin. Future Trunks is about 10 or 11 and Gohan is about 17 or so. Trunks decides to have Gohan train him since androids 17 and 18 have killed all of the Z-teamers and Goku died of a heart disease. Gohan wants Trunks to become a Super Saiya-jin at a very early age, and Trunks is very good at powering up, but he can never quite reach the SSJ stage. Eventually Gohan goes to fight the androids and he is beaten but he gets away. He tries again later and Trunks wants to join in, but Gohan knocks him out for his own safety.

In the fight with the androids, Gohan seems to be doing fairly well, but then both androids fight him together and Gohan gets killed. Eventually it begins to rain and trunks wakes up, he then looks for Gohan and finds him dead. He begins to cry and goes through so much anguish he goes Super Saiya-jin.

The time jumps to later in Trunks' life and he is now about 16 - 17. He has become much stronger and wishes to fight the androids once more before he takes the time machine which Bulma has built for him. Bulma could not test the time machine because it takes 6 months to charge. Trunks fights the androids and is surprised to learn that they have a never-ending KI power. He is beaten badly. Trunks wakes up in a bed with Bulma supervising him. They say their good-byes and he takes the time machine back to the time in which the legendary Son Goku was still alive.

The Z-teamers are all in one area, or most of the Z-teamers anyway. Vegeta is beginning to get along with the Earthlings a little now, and Yamcha is OK with his presence. Tenshinhan hates him though. Vegeta is still feeling enraged that Goku has the ability to become SSJ, though and hates him for it. Trunks comes back from the future in the time machine. Freeza, new and improved is also coming to Earth with his big pappy, King Cold.

They land on Earth and Freeza is anticipating his meeting with the legendary Super Saiya-jin, but is also scared. King Cold is unknowing of the extreme power of the Super Saiya-jin. Trunks arrives and sees Freeza and King Cold, they talk and insult each other ect... And Trunks eventually goes SSJ and kicks the crap out of Freeza, slicing him to hell with his sword. King Cold sees this, and his son's futile attempts to defend himself, but since his pride is so high, he will not admit to himself that his son could be killed by a mere "monkey." He assumes that Trunks' sword is the reason for his sucess. He tricks Trunks into giving him the sword and then strikes Trunks. Trunks merely catches them blade and proceeds to kill King Cold, despite his pleas.

Shortly after Trunks returns from killing Freeza and King Cold, Goku arives in a Saiya-jin pod. Meanwhile, Vegeta is stunned, horrified and blazing with rage, after realizing there is yet another Saiya-jin who has suprassed him. Trunks almost instantly asks Son Goku to talk to him, and Son agrees. They talk, Trunks tells Goku that in three years he will die of a heart disease, and two androids will destroy the world. Goku is upset, not because he is going to die (been there, done that), but because he won't get to fight the androids. Trunks then tells Goku that he has an antidote to the heart disease. Trunks processes this statement, and realizes that the legendary Son Goku is all that the legends made him out to be, and possibly more.

While he and Goku are talking, he goes Super Saiya-jin. Suddenly, out of nowhere, he lunges at Goku holding his sword in front of him, much resembling the strike he hit Freeza with. This is to see if Goku is strong and fast enough to stop him. Goku simply doesn't budge. Trunks stops, inches before Goku's forehead makes contact with the sword. Goku tells Trunks he didn't move because he knew Trunks would not strike him. Trunks then tells Goku that next time, he won't stop. Trunks strikes again and again and again. Each time Goku stops the sword using two fingers. Trunks decides that Goku is possibly strong enough to defeat the androids.

Trunks gives Goku a specific date and time for them all to meet, and at that time they will face the androids. Then he leaves, but not before telling Goku who his father and mother are (Bulma and Vegeta) and not to say anything that might endanger his existance (if they found out, Bulma and Vegeta might never fall in love!). Goku agrees saying "Don't worry, I don't talk much." Goku goes to the group who have been watching the whole thing, and tells everyone what happened (leaving out anything about Trunks' parents) but forgets the date to meet. Fortunately, Piccolo, with his Super-Nameck-Auditory-System overheard the whole thing and tells everyone the date, but mentions nothing about Trunks himself. They all go their seperate ways, in order to train as hard as they can for the next three years. Goku, Gohan and Piccolo go to train, Tenshinhan and Chaozu go off with each other, and Kuririn and Yamcha each go their seperate ways.

There are a few things of notice, such as the time when Goku and Piccolo are forced to get driver's licenses by Chi-Chi. After the three years have passed, everybody goes to meet at the specific point given to them by Future Trunks. As it turns out, the island they were supposed to meet on contains a huge city.

The Z-fighters are surprised to find Bulma there holding a baby (Trunks) in her hands. Goku mistakenly calls him Trunks before Bulma gives him the name, but since Trunks has already been born, there is no danger in revealing who he is. Since the Z-fighters cannot sense the KI of an android, they must look for the androids with their eyes and ears, and that may take a while. Eventually, Yamcha finds the androids, and is surprised to see what they look like, since no one ever got a description from Future Trunks. The androids quickly absorb Yamcha's energy through red orbs in their hands then promptly punch a gaping hole through Yamcha's stomach. The other Z-fighters eventually find Yamcha and fight a little with the androids, but soon give up, realizing that the fight is causing too many casualties. Yamcha is taking back to the original meeting place on the island (on a hill) and given senzu, which revives him.

The androids and the Z-fighters all go to an island. Surprising, Goku is winded just from flying. Something is noticably wrong with him. He begins to fight with android #19 and is kicking his ass, but seems to keeping getting in worse and worse shape. Eventually the android overpowers him, and begins to absorb his energy. Piccolo is about to rescue him, when Vegeta rams into android #19 with a flying kick. The Z-fighters realize that the reason Goku is in such bad shape is because his heart condition hurting him. As it turns out, he has never taken his medicine, because the symptoms never came. Yamcha takes him back to his house, where he is given the medicine. However, it seems to have little effect.

Meanwhile, back at the island, Vegeta has a few surprises of his own. Unbeknownst to the Z-fighters, Vegeta has aquired the ability to go Super Saiya-jin. He explains how ironic it was that his very anger at not being able to go Super Saiya-jin was the thing that caused him to go SSJ. Vegeta and Android 19 fight around a bit, and it becomes clear that Vegeta has the upperhand. Eventually, Vegeta lets the android grab onto his arms, the Andriod begins to drain his energy saying "I'll never let go!" Vegeta asks "Never?" He places his feet on the android's chest and pulls its arms from their sockets. Vegeta then proceeds to destroy android 19.

Meanwhile, #20 is astonished that there can possibly be anybody this strong. He flees into a giant mountain, using the cracks to conceal himself, since the Z-fighters cannot sense his Ki. Vegeta is given Senzu and follows the android. The rest of the Z-fighters follow Vegeta. Android 20 is contemplating what to do. He decides to pick off the Z-fighters and steal their energy, then move on to Vegeta.He tries to steal Piccolo's energy, but since Piccolo has a supreme auditory system, he knows the attack was coming. Unbeknowst the android, Piccolo was actually destroying his energy while he thought he was abosorbing it. Piccolo then takes a senzu and challenges #20 to a bout. 20 agrees, assuming he should be at least as strong as Piccolo after absorbing his energy. He gets the crap kicked out of him. He flees into the cracks of the mountain again and is going back to the lab.

Once Gero returns to the lab and attempts to persuade #17 and #18 to fight the Z teamers. The androids disagree, and don't like being commanded, and say so. The two androids decide to activate #16 despite many warnings from Dr. Gero. #17 and #18 kill Dr Gero. Vegeta states that that's not unusual, and that it is perfectly normal to kill anyone you don't like. Trunks shoots a blast into the cave which the lab is in, but it has no effect. #16 is activated. They ask him if he was made to kill Son Goku, and he replies to the affirmative. #18 says it makes her sick to think of Dr. Gero's goals for them.

The androids fly away, and the Z teamers realize they are heading towards Goku's house. Vegeta is mad the androids paid him no notice, and insists on following them despite numerous warnings from Trunks. Meanwhile the androids decide to touch down for a while. In a debate about taking a car, #17 asks #16 if he was made from a man like they were. #16 calmly states that he was made from nothing. The androids puzzle over this for a little while, then Vegeta confronts them. #18 tells #16 to fight Vegeta, but he refuses.

#18 and Vegeta begin to duel, and #17 is surprised that the Saiya-jin is much stronger than Dr. Gero told them he was. All of the Z teamers return, and Vegeta comments on how stupid they are. #16 refuses to fight again. Trunks tells Vegeta to run, and the androids say they won't fight people who run away because they have no interest in them. Vegeta asks Trunks if he could use another slap. #17 complements Vegeta's fighting skills, but Vegeta just insults him in return. Piccolo notices that the android has infinite stamina, and Vegeta is getting weaker by the minute.
