Saiyan Saga
-------------
The first DBZ saga starts off with a reunion between Goku and some of his old friends. They laugh and chatter, as Goku introduces his young son – Gohan. He seems to be very shy, and everyone thinks that he is cute. Bulma, Krillen and Roshi are all there, having fun catching up on old times.
Elsewhere, Piccolo, a green, pointy-eared alien is training in the desert by himself. He is greeted by a tall, muscular character, whom he attacks upon site. The victim laughs at him though, and prepares to attack back. Piccolo looks on in fear, before a device on the stranger’s eye blinks, making him fly off in the opposite direction, telling Piccolo that he will finish him off later.
Goku and friends are on the island, still talking when the stranger greets them. He reveals himself to be a Saiyan named Raditz, Goku’s brother. He demands that Goku kills a load of Earthlings, but Goku refuses. Raditz then takes his son, and warns him that he will never see him again unless he gives in to his demands. Raditz then knees Goku in the gut, flooring him and leaving him winded badly, then flies off into the distance, carrying Gohan.
Goku remembers the Dragonball that was perched on Gohan’s hat, and gets the dragon radar to track his son down. Before he sets off though, Piccolo joins him, and says that he wants to help. The two put their differences aside, and fly off over to Raditz.
They find him, and attack. Gohan has been locked up in Raditz’ pod, a small spacecraft that he used to reach the planet Earth, from his home planet. The fight is strongly in Raditz’ favour, until he begins treading on Goku. Gohan hears his fathers screams, and explodes out of the pod, headbutting Raditz. This distracts him for long enough. It doesn’t knock him down, and Gohan immediately collapses, but Raditz has been weakened. Goku jumps onto his feet, and grabs his brother in a full nelson. Piccolo then charges up his special beam cannon, and shoots it at Raditz, with the beam going right through him and Goku. Piccolo then tells Goku that he will wish him back with the dragonballs, because of his noble feat. He grabs Gohan, and goes off to train him, just as Krillen arrives. Raditz tells everyone that his Saiyan friends will be along soon to avenge his death, and take the dragonballs, in about a years time. They are 10 times stronger than he is too. Goku fades into the next dimension, and everyone leaves, with Krillen wondering how he is going to break the news to Chi-Chi.
Yamcha, Tien, Chao-zu, Krillen, and Yajirobe, the planets strongest warriors trained with Kami, hoping to become strong enough to combat the Saiyans upon their arrival. Goku is told to run a long, winding road called Snake Way up in heaven, where he will receive martial arts training off the legendary King Kai upon completion of running the road. It is a very long way though, and will take him almost a year to get to the end.
Goku falls off Snake Way, and ends up in HFIL (‘Home For Infinite Losers’, better known as ‘hell’). Two ogres challenge him to a contest, with the prize being a ticket back onto Snake Way. Goku defeats them both, and they show him the way out, which takes the Saiyan back to the start. He must run even quicker now, because he has lost about 1-2 months worth of his journey after that.
Piccolo and Gohan train in the wilderness, hard at work in an effort to become stronger. Piccolo notices Gohan’s tail, and gets a bit of trouble when Gohan sees the full moon, and transforms into an Oozaru (All Saiyans do this, because their tail grants them the power to do so. Gohan is half Saiyan, because he is the son of the Saiyan Goku, and the human Chi-Chi). Piccolo manages to blow up the moon, and doesn’t have any more trouble with Gohan turning into an ape.
Goku reaches the end of Snake Way, and it takes him about three quarters of a year. The first task that he is set by King Kai, is to make the martial arts master laughs. He accomplishes this and goes onto his second mission. This is to catch Bubbles the monkey. The gravity is 20 times what it is on Earth, so Goku has a hard time adapting, and catching King Kai’s pet. He does so eventually though, and moves onto his third assignment – To hit Gregory the super-fast cricket with a huge, heavy mallet. This takes him a while, but he accomplishes it in the end. He is then taught how to do the Spirit Bomb (A powerful energy ball, where the power is gathered from all living things on the planet) and the Kai-o-ken (An attack which allows you to boost your overall battle performance by a set amount)
Goku finally ends his training a day before the Saiyans arrive, and is wished back. King Kai suddenly starts panicking though, and tells Goku that he still has to run Snake Way. It will take him about 2 days, meaning he will probably arrive a day late. The halo disappears from Goku’s head, and he angrily begins running Snake Way again, trying to get to the start as fast as possible, so he can help out his friends.
The Saiyans arrive on Earth, and they immediately go to the two strongest powers – Gohan and Piccolo. The two Saiyans consist of one huge, muscular, bald one named Nappa, and a short, tall haired one called Vegeta. The small one seems to be the more powerful one of the two. Piccolo and Gohan prepare to fight, and are soon joined by Krillen. Nappa plants some seeds, from which sprout little green men. Nappa announces that they all have the same power level as Raditz. Before the fight begins, Yamcha, Tien, and Chao-zu arrive. With everyone there, the battle starts.
The little green men are easily beaten, although one attaches itself to Yamcha, and self-destructs, killing them both. Krillen used an attack, which killed the remaining ones, with his anger giving him extra power. The attack hit the Saiyans too though, and didn’t even leave a mark on them.
Nappa steps forward, and fights the Earthlings. He easily beats them up a bit, taking them one-by-one. He thinks that he has killed Chao-zu, when he realizes that he has attached himself to his back. Nappa desperately grabs for him, but can’t reach. Chao-zu uses a self-destruct attack, but only manages to kill himself, leaving Nappa in perfect condition.
Tien is so angry at his friends death, that he fights Nappa. He is easily defeated though, and dies of exhaustion, using one final attack, but not affecting the awesomely powerful Nappa.
Krillen, Piccolo, and Gohan all team up against the big guy, managing to rough him up a fair bit. After a while, Vegeta grants them a three hour period, where they may wait for Goku. The three hours end, and there is no sign of the Saiyan. Everyone fights Nappa, but in the end they are all destroyed, beaten to a pulp, but not quite killed. Nappa tried to kill Gohan with one powerful blast, but Piccolo dives in the way, sacrificing himself to save his trainee. In the time he spent training Gohan, he became quite attached to him. Piccolo fades away into the next dimension. Nappa goes to kill Gohan again, but this time he is rescued by Goku, who arrived just in time to come to his son’s aid.
Goku easily defeats Nappa, but leaves him alive. Disappointed at the humiliating conquering of his friend, Vegeta helps Nappa up, then tosses him into the air, killing him.
Goku and Vegeta fight on in another location, leaving Gohan and Krillen to go home. Goku eventually gets an advantage when his KameHameHa is more powerful than Vegeta’s Galic Ho beam, sending the evil Saiyan soaring into the air. He recovers though, and commends Goku on his strength. Vegeta then forms a bright ball in his hand, and throws it into the air. He looks up at it, and transforms into a huge Oozaru. The battle momentum shifts, with Vegeta crushing Goku in his fist, almost killing him.
Gohan and Krillen are back, after sensing that something is wrong. They try to cut Oozaru Vegeta’s tail off, but are unsuccessful. They know that without the tail, Vegeta can’t maintain his transformed state. As if from out of no where, Yajirobe bursts forth from out of the shadows, and slices the Oozaru’s tail off. Vegeta is reverted back to his normal state, leaving Goku for dead. Yajirobe hides for the remainder of the battle, scared of what Vegeta will do to him. Vegeta easily beats up everyone, until Gohan gets really mad. The two are almost equal. Goku tells Krillen that he gathered some energy for a Spirit Bomb earlier, but couldn’t throw it. He hands it to his friend, and Krillen throws it at Vegeta. The evil Saiyan sensed it coming though, and easily dodges it. Gohan looks on in fear, but Goku psychically sends him a message to bounce it towards Vegeta, as it wont hurt anyone with no evil in their heart. The kid does so, hitting Vegeta square in the chest. The evil Saiyan drops from the sky a while later, half dead.
Vegeta gets to his feet, and provides everyone with a complimentary beating, hurting them all greatly. Goku sends Gohan a psychic message to look up at the fake moon, that made Vegeta transform earlier. He does so, and transforms himself. He tries to attack Vegeta, but can’t quite connect. Eventually, Vegeta manages to cut the Oozaru’s tail off, but can’t get out of the way as the huge ape falls to the floor. Vegeta is squashed, as Gohan shrinks back to his normal size.
Krillen stands over the evil Saiyan with Yajirobe’s sword, ready to finish him off, until Goku tells him to spare the evil Saiyan. Krillen does so, and Vegeta crawls away, calling his ship over with a remote control, then climbing in. He vows for vengeance, then takes off. Bulma, Roshi, Oolong and Puar then arrive, taking the victors to a hospital. In the whole battle, only Krillen, Gohan, and Goku survived, although Goku barely made it through, such were the extent of his injuries.
And so ends the Saiyan saga, with the menace defeated, and the Earth saved, the Earth’s Special Forces heal patiently in hospital, wondering how they are going to wish their friends back without the Dragonballs (When Piccolo dies, so does Kami, and when Kami dies, so do the Dragonballs. It’s a vicious circle!

Freeza Saga
===============
The saga begins with a hospital scene, showing the progress of everyone’s recovery. Mr Popo greets them, and tells everyone that Kami told him that there’s Dragonballs on Namek before he died, and that he knows where a ship is. He takes Bulma with him, so that she can learn how to fly the ship, and take some people to Namek. A while later, Bulma takes off for Namek with Krillen and Gohan (Goku still hasn’t recovered yet). She activates the ship speaking in Namekian. They then take off.
They all go on, and finally find what they think is Namek. It turns out to be a fake one though, an illusion created by some creatures who crashed there a while ago and were unable to repair their ship.
They manage to escape though, and get back on track to the real Namek.
Meanwhile, at one of Frieza’s docking ports, Vegeta is fully recovered, and soaring off towards Namek in one of his pods, after the Dragonballs. He is told that Frieza, the most powerful being in the universe, is already on the planet looking for them.
Bulma, Krillen, and Gohan land on the planet, and immediately set off looking for the Dragonballs.
Vegeta is after the Dragonballs too, and is met by Cui, one of Frieza’s henchmen, who tells Vegeta to leave or die. Vegeta laughs in Cui’s face though, and the two of them fight, with Vegeta easily defeating, and killing his opponent.
Gohan and Krillen sense Frieza’s power for the first time, and they know that it is incredible, much higher than they could ever dream of. They also sense that Frieza has four of the seven Dragonballs already.
Yajirobe walks into Goku’s hospital room, and tosses him a bag of sensu beans. Goku takes one, and is fully recovered. He flies off to Dr. Briefs, where he is given a capsule corporation pod. He then leaves to help his friends on Namek, who have put forth a few distress calls. The ship he is in is much faster than the one that Bulma and company used, so he should be there much faster than they were.
Frieza and his henchmen are destroying a Namekian village and all of its habitants. The village elder notices that they are using the scouters to locate the Dragonballs, and sense the power levels, so he destroys them all, laughing as he does so. Freiza then kills the Namek in a fit of rage, and takes the ball off him, making it number five, with only two more to go. Gohan and Krillen see a big pink alien called Dodoria bullying a small Namekian boy, so they fly in, and save him, managing to escape from all of Frieza’s henchmen.
Dodoria had chased them, and lost them, but noticed Vegeta on his way back. He went down to fight with the Saiyan, and was defeated easily, with Vegeta mercilessly killing him.
Vegeta then goes off and finds another Namekian village, where he savagely kills all the inhabitants, and finds the Dragonball. He learnt to sense KI signatures on Earth, so now there is nothing stopping him from finding the remaining Dragonball.
Krillen and the Namekian kid who they rescued earlier decide to go to the eldest Nameks quarters. The kid, named Dende, says that the eldest Namek, who is called Guru, possesses a Dragonball. Gohan stays with Bulma to protect her. Elsewhere, Vegeta dumps his Dragonball in a lake for safe keeping. He bumps into Krillen and Dende as he goes to leave though, and prepares to fight them, when Frieza’s strongest henchman shows up – Zarbon. He fights Vegeta, with the Saiyan easily roughing him up, until Zarbon transforms into a monster. Krillen and Dende escape while the two warriors are distracted, and they resume their course to Guru’s. Meanwhile, Zarbon has hit Vegeta into a lake, and nearly killed him. Vegeta climbs out though, and Zarbon takes him to Freiza’s ship for questioning. Vegeta is put in a regeneration tank, so that he can be healed, then be interrogated. Vegeta manages to keep down his heart rate though, and manages to escape, stealing all of Frieza’s Dragonballs in the process, giving him six of them.
Krillen and Dende arrive at Guru’s, and are given the final Dragonball. Guru also releases Krillen’s true power. He is much stronger, and they fly back. Vegeta meets them on the way though, and demands that they hand over the Dragonball. They do so, not wanting to get killed, and then Zarbon arrives again, ready to kill Vegeta for escaping and stealing Frieza’s Dragonballs. Krillen and Dende fly off, back to Bulma, leaving the two far superior warriors to fight amongst themselves. Vegeta easily beats Zarbon, because whenever a Saiyan is healed from mortal wounds, they become far stronger. Vegeta kills Zarbon, then goes off with his Dragonball to the other ones, meaning that he will have all seven.
Gohan senses Vegeta’s Dragonball that is hidden in the lake, and goes to get it. He retrieves it, meeting Krillen, Dende, and Bulma. Krillen tells Gohan about Guru, and they both leave for his place. They arrive there a while later, and are greeted by Vegeta outside. Krillen distracts him while Gohan goes into Guru’s. They argue for a while, then Gohan walks out of Guru’s, emitting incredible power. Vegeta is just about to kill them all, when 5 pods crash down a short distance away. Vegeta announces that they must be the Ginyu Force, the five most evil warriors in the galaxy, each with a power level that rivals his own. Vegeta says that he needs to be made immortal in order for them to win, so they all get the Dragonballs, just in case.
The Ginyu Force find everyone, and take the Dragonballs off them using some impressive tricks and speed. Ginyu flies off with them, to take them to Frieza, leaving his men to fight. Guldo is the first up, and he fights Gohan and Krillen. It looks as though he is about to defeat them, when Vegeta interrupts, and kills Guldo with two impressive attacks.
Seeing the death of his team-mate, Racoome steps forward, and is takes on Vegeta, defeating him, but not managing to kill him, due to Krillen and Gohan interfering. Racoome then destroys both of them, and is ready to kill them.
Finally, Goku’s ship arrives on Namek, after he had been training at 100 times the Earths gravity. He soars to the battle, and rescues Gohan, Krillen, and Vegeta from the evil clutches of Racoome. He then beats the member of the Ginyu Force easily, leaving him on the floor, barely alive. Jeice and Burta, the two remaining members attack. Goku easily dodges everything they throw at him, then attacks Burta, easily defeating him. He allows Jeice to go. Vegeta then quickly finishes off Racoome and Burta, after eating a sensu bean, and having his health restored.
Jeice runs off to Ginyu, and the two of them return to attack Goku. Vegeta stays with the Saiyan, whilst Gohan and Krillen go off for the Dragonballs. Before the fight starts though, Vegeta abandons his battle partner to look for the Dragonballs himself. Ginyu and Goku fight for a while, with Goku having the obvious advantage, until Captain Ginyu uses an attack which swaps their bodies, but not before injuring his badly. In his new body, Ginyu flies off, leaving Goku, stuck in Ginyu’s injured body.
Gohan and Krillen are found by Ginyu (In Goku’s body) and Jeice, and are beaten up, until Goku (In Ginyu’s body) arrives, and tells them to attack back. Ginyu fights Gohan and Krillen, beating them somewhat senseless. Vegeta returns, and kills Jeice easily, with his significant power increase after recovering from his injuries. He then goes and beats up Ginyu, in Goku’s body, knowing that Ginyu is unable to utilize the full extent of Goku’s power. Vegeta is about to finish Ginyu off, when the Body change technique is used. Goku predicts this, and dives in the path of the attack, making him return into his old body, and leaving Captain Ginyu in his old, injured body. Goku is too hurt to move, and Vegeta fights Ginyu, with the Captain letting him win. Ginyu goes for another Body Change with Vegeta, but Goku sees it coming, and throws a frog into its path. Ginyu then turns into a frog.
Ginyu’s life is spared, as he can cause no more trouble, and Vegeta takes Goku to a regeneration tank, and has a short sleep. In that time, Gohan, Krillen, and Dende find the Dragonballs, then wish back Piccolo. Their second wish is for Piccolo to be transported to Namek. It seems that it has worked, but he is no where near them. Before their final wish can be made, Vegeta bursts out of the medical bay, and finds the dragon. He demands that they ask for Vegeta to be given immortality, and as the dragon only grants wishes when asked in Namekian, Dende must ask. Eventually Krillen gives the go ahead for it to happen, as they have no chance against Frieza otherwise. Before the wish can be made though, the dragon disappears, signalling the death of its creator – Guru, due to a broken heart. Frieza then arrives, and intimidates everyone.
Vegeta manages to equal the first form Frieza in terms of power, but when Frieza transforms, it looks like everything is over, until Piccolo arrives on the scene. He had found a Namek called Nail on the way, and fused with him, becoming far more powerful than before. He manages to beat Frieza, making him transform once again. In his third form, Frieza easily beats up Piccolo, angering Gohan so much that he launches a huge masenko at the evil tyrant, coming close to killing him. Frieza manages to block the blast, although barely, and decides to transform again, this time into his final form. Once he accomplishes this, he kills Dende, the healing Namek, but not before everyone’s health is rejuvenated. He then kills Vegeta, and the Saiyan prince thought that he was a Super Saiyan. Before Frieza kills anyone else though, Goku arrives on the scene.
It is an even fight between Goku and Frieza, until Frieza decides to go from 1% of his power, to 50%, giving him a distinct advantage. Despite this though, Goku manages to build up a truly huge galaxy Spirit Bomb, with the help of Piccolo’s distraction tactics. He then threw it at Frieza, seemingly killing him. Somehow, Frieza survived it, and shot a beam at Goku, with Piccolo diving in the way to save him, and becoming injured badly. Frieza then kills Krillen for no reason, causing Goku to be overtaken with anger. His hair turns blonde, and his eyes turn green, as he finally becomes a Super Saiyan. He beats Frieza to a pulp, before the evil one tries to destroy the planet. He holds too much energy back though and was unable to destroy it outright, and says that there will be five minutes until it explodes. He then uses 100% of his power, and the fight becomes fairly even. Goku manages to gain an advantage though, and easily defeats everyone.
On Earth, the dragonballs are used to resurrect everyone killed by Frieza. This brung back the Namek Dragonballs, and with them, they wished everyone back to Earth, other than Goku and Frieza.
Goku managed to defeat Frieza, and tried to leave, but the evil one threw two cutting discs at him. It resulted in Frieza being cut in half by his own attack. Goku gave him enough energy to leave the planet, but Frieza used it to try and kill Goku. It didn’t work though, as the Saiyan sent a counterblast, hitting Frieza, and seemingly killing him once and for all. He then tries to escape the planet, but it explodes before he can find a functioning ship…or so it seemed.
