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:
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 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.
