SAIYAN SAGA

The Sayans arrive just as told and Yamcha is the first to die. He gets killed when one of the Saiyans plants five "Saibiamen", which are little green men, and one of these easily kills him. After Yamcha dies, the little green men are all killed. Goku has not yet gotten been revived. The two Saiyan's names are Nappa and Vegeta. Vegeta does not fight at all, but just watches and gives orders to Nappa. This is when Piccolo first finds out about who he really is since the Saiyans call him a "Namek". The next to go is Chaozu when he self-destucted in an attempt to kill Nappa. But this did nothing to Nappa. Tienshinhan is enraged and goes for Nappa, but gets a limb cut off and later dies. Then Piccolo and Krillin come in and attack him in mid air when he is not seeing. As Nappa is heading to hit the Earth, Piccolo and Krillin both scream at Gohan to finish him off, but Gohan shows his coward ness and does nothing. This might of been their only chance to defeat him. Vegeta tells Nappa to stop messing around, but to wait a while longer for Goku for the fight to really start.

After Goku is revived, he first goes to Karin tower to pick up some Senzu beans and takes off in his "Flying Nimbus". Gohan gets extremely angry after Nappa knocks Piccolo unconscious in an attempt to grab his tail, which is supposed to be a Saiyan's weak spot, but Nappa had over come that already. Gohan attacks Nappa, but does no real damage. Then Krillin attacks too, and too has no real damage. Nappa gets angry and sends a powerful attack towards Gohan, but is blocked by Piccolo, and so Piccolo dies.
Goku finally arrives with a power level of 5,000 and increasing. He comes to find out that all of the Z warriors, except for Krillin and Gohan had died and attacks Nappa. Nappa is astonished at Goku's power. Vegeta then says that he will personally kill Goku and so Nappa goes towards Krillin and Gohan. Goku does the Kaioken attack which leaves Nappa on the floor. Nappa asks Vegeta for help, but Vegeta kills him in cold blood for being weak. The fight between Goku and Vegeta begins, Vegeta is then astonished at Goku's power. Since this proves to be a hard match for Vegeta, he decides to turn into Oozaru.


Goku decides to do the Spirit bomb, but he needs time to do this. So he does the "Solar flare" to blind Vegeta for a little while. But Vegeta is too quick and tortures Goku up to the point where he is almost dead. Yajirobe, which had been in hiding all along comes out of no where and cuts off Vegeta's tail, so now Vegeta goes back to his normal size. Gohan steps into the fight now although he knows he is no match for Vegeta. Goku, now badly hurt, calls Krillin and tells him to do the Spirit Bomb for him (Goku had still been collecting energy during this time).

Krillin gets the energy and waits for just the right moment to use it. Krillin fires it, but misses, Gohan gets it back and throws it again and this time hits Vegeta. This sends Vegeta through the air, but is not defeated yet. Since Vegeta had made an artificial moon to turn into Oozaru, Gohan happens to look at it and then too transforms into Oozaru. Now the tables have turned. Gohan, as Oozaru, lands on Vegeta and is now defeated. Krillin, now really weak, finds his last strength to finish Vegeta off by killing him with Yajirobe's sword, but Goku decides not to kill Vegeta and lets him go. Vegeta leaves swearing vengence.

FRIEZA SAGA

After the fight against Vegeta, Goku is recuperating at the hospital, while Vegeta is going back to Frieza's planet and also recuperating. Mr. Popo comes into the hospital and tells them about some other Dragonballs in Planet Namek, the Namek dragonballs. Having heard this Bulma, Gohan, and Krillin decide to go to Planet Namek to gather those dragonballs and revive their friends that were lost in the battle against Vegeta and Nappa (Tienshinhan, Chaozu, Piccolo, and Yamcha).

Along they way, Bulma, Krillin, and Gohan get introduced to many different characters, some minor and some major. They arrive on Namek and come to find that Frieza is there as well (they learned about him through some of the minor characters along their journey). Frieza is also there in search of the Dragonballs, but he wants to wish for immortality. Vegeta arrives on Planet Namek as well, fully recovered from his injuries, and stronger than ever, and also in search of the Dragonballs (he too wants to wish for immortality). On planet Namek there are four villages. In each village there lives an elder possessing a dragonball. Fully prepared, Bulma sends news to Earth through this portable satellite phone (Master Roshi is on the other end on Earth). Gohan and Krillin curious about how Frieza looks, hide and take a look at what they (Frieza and his goons) are up to. Gohan makes a comment that they (the Nameks) all look like Picollo (Remember: Picollo first discovers he is a Namek after being told by Vegeta and Nappa). Since Gohan and Krillin where spying on Freeza, they couldn't help but join in and help the Nameks when they were being attacked by Frieza.

This is when Gohan meets Dende (a young Namek, Dende and Gohan become great friends), Gohan and Krillin save him. Since Gohan and Krillin where helping the Nameks, Frieza ordered his"left-hand" man, Dodoria, after them. They were too fast for Dodoria and they escape him (this is while they are saving Dende). After they escape, Dodoria comes upon Vegeta. Dodoria bargains for his life and tells Vegeta the truth of what really happened to Planet Vegeta (when he was younger, Vegeta was told that a comet had hit his planet, Vegeta was away capturing a planet at that moment) (Vegeta is the Prince of Planet Vegeta, his dad was the King). Dodoria tells him (Vegeta) that Frieza was the one who had destroyed it, and Vegeta kills him (Dodoria). Back on Earth Yajirobe arrived at the hospital and visited Goku to give him some senzu beans. Right after eating it Goku was complety recovered and left to visit Dr. Briefs to see if the spaceship was ready (the spaceship that Goku had come to Earth in when he was a baby, Dr. Briefs was working on it to improve it, and added a gravity machine for Goku to train in). Since the spaceship was partially ready (it didn't have the cappuccino maker installed yet), Goku went on his way to Planet Namek. King Ki telepathically tells Goku that Tienshinhan, Chaozu, Yamcha, and Picollo had arrived and were to receive his training.

During the battle, Krillin and Gohan arrived to Guru's lair to retrieve a dragonball. There, Guru also unleashes the warrior's hidden powers. (Gohan had also used Bulma's dragon-radar to track down a local dragonball- the one that Vegeta had stolen and hidden in the lake.)

Vegeta follows Gohan and Krillin while Zarbon follows Vegeta. All stop at the cave where Bulma created a house. Vegeta becomes aware of Zarbon and the two fight once again. Zarbon is killed.

Vegeta meets with Krillin and Gohan and offers to make an alliance with them, as he senses the arrival of the Ginyu Force. The dragonballs are gathered at once as Vegeta prepares to wish for immortality so that he can become powerful enough to defeat the "unbeatable force". They become too late; the force has arrived. Ginyu, Jeice, Burter, Recoom, and Guldo stand before the three. The Ginyu Force quickly steal the dragonballs and Ginyu flies away with them. A huge battle follows. Vegeta manages to kill Guldo, but is of no match for the others...

Goku finally arrives. He quickly beats Jeice, Burter, and Recoom. Vegeta takes this chance and kills off the injured members to Team Ginyu. Vegeta, no longer a threat to the heroes (for now), joins in the battle on Goku's side. Ginyu arrives. Ginyu does his body transfer ability on Goku and he swaps bodies with Goku. Vegeta beats Ginyu (in Goku's body). Ginyu switches bodies again. Goku is badly battered. Ginyu, again, attempts to switch bodies with Goku. Goku throws a frog to intercept the beam, and Ginyu permanently swaps bodies with the frog.

Goku is taken to recuperate in a Saiyan stasis pod. Vegeta gave Gohan and Krillin, Saiyan armor suits. The dragonballs were gathered and Porunga was summoned. Three wishes were granted. The first wish revived Piccolo. The second transported him to Namek to join in the fight. At the third wish, Guru was killed so the dragonballs turned into stone. Now, the heroes must face the wraith of Frieza...

A battle follows. Frieza has killed nearly all the Nameks on the planet, so the Namek dragonballs have also turned to stone. The heroes are able to stand up to Frieza, so Frieza undergoes a power-up and enters a physical body change. As the battle intensifier's, Frieza does goes through more metamorphosis's stages until his perfect form is reached. No one is certain who will win. Vegeta has been killed. The only true damage done to Frieza was with Krillin's Destructo disc , which truncated half of Frieza's tail. In a final attempt to defeat Frieza, Goku prepares a Spirit Bomb. The fireball is cast and everyone thinks that Frieza has lost. However, Frieza survived...

Wasting no more time, Frieza does a blast that rips through Piccolo. Then, he engulfs Krillin in a fatal force field and crushes him. Goku see's the deaths of his friends and remembers all the innocent that Frieza has killed. Anger takes over Goku's body and Goku powers up. His hair turns gold and Goku reaches Super Saiyan level for the first time. Goku tells Gohan that Piccolo is still alive. Gohan takes Piccolo's body back to Goku's spaceship and then finds Bulma in his father's orders to travel back to Earth. Goku now goes on a one-on-one combat battle against Frieza...

Goku evades Frieza's attacks. Frieza, trembling in the chance that he may lose to Goku, an "inferior Saiyan monkey", a fireball aimed at the planet. Namek's core is destroyed, and the planet will explode in 5 minutes. Hurricanes form. Cliffs break off. Rubbish flies everywhere. An ominous look is set on what will happen...

Kami telepathically communicates to King Ki. He tells that he will make a plan with the Earth dragonballs and asks what wish to make. King Ki develops a plan to wish all those killed by Frieza. In turn, Guru and Dende will be brought back to life and the Namek dragonballs will become available again. Then, the Namek dragonballs can be used to make a wish to teleport everyone on Namek, except for Frieza, to Earth. Popo has gathered the dragonballs and the first half of the plan is followed. The Porunga is summoned and is awaiting to grant the third wish. Frieza see's his chance to be granted immortality and races to the dragon. Vegeta, revived from the wish, also joins in the race. Dende arrives, but is Frieza makes his wish first. However, Porunga ignores Frieza and grants Dende's wish, which by Goku's plead was changed to leaving he and Freeza on Namek.

All who were affected by the wish are on Earth. Dende heals Piccolo. Guru, dying, transfers his role to Rooli to become the new Elder so that the Namek dragonballs. Guru explains what has happened, and then dies.

Goku fights Frieza to a stand-still, but time eventually showed that Frieza was no match for a Super Saiyan. In Frieza's pathetic final attack, two disc beams are tossed at Goku. With skillful maneuvering by Goku, the beams slice Frieza into two instead. Frieza is dying and pleads for help. Goku gives him a bit of his energy to give Frieza a last chance. Frieza, unwilling to change and lose to a low-class Saiyan, Frieza does another fireball at Goku. Goku counters it and it overwhelms Freeza. The 5 minutes are up and Planet Namek explodes.

(This following selection actually is concidered the Cell saga, but I thought it was more appropriate if it went here) The ship lands on Earth. The Z warriors on Earth are no match for Frieza, and now they must face him in addition to King Cold... without the help of Goku, to which all believed was dead. Cold and Frieza believe in swift victory in the destruction of Earth, but a figure appears out of nowhere. Vegeta recognizes the aura of the man to be that of a Saiyan, and resents the fact that there is another stronger than him. The mysterious visitor charges up and reaches Super Saiyan mode. With a few slashes with his sword, Frieza is truly killed. Then, the figure shoots a fireball at Cold, which pierces through his heart and automatically kills him.

The stranger introduces himself as Trunks, the future son of Bulma and Vegeta. His story is told in Trunks Story. He tells that Goku is not dead, but escaped to Planet Yardat when Planet Namek exploded. Then, he tells that Goku should appear in a few seconds. The Z warriors are shocked, and Goku does appear. He really did take refuge in Yardat and learned how to teleport from its inhabitants. Then, Trunks introduces his purpose to seeking the Goku and the cast, and this leads to the Cell Series...

With the Dragonballs all of the Z fighters that had died in battle were brought back to life and Planet Namek was restored. Once again the Earth was safe, but not for long.

Trunks Saga The dawning of a new era of Dragonball Z starts just after Krillen has dumped Marron. All seems well, until the Earths special forces pick up on an incredible power level heading right towards them. They can’t believe how high it is, and refuse to believe that it is who they think it is. Everyone quickly rushes over to the landing site of this massive power, hoping that they will see who it is. Vegeta is leading the way in his pink shirt, and Gohan, Krillen, Yamcha, Tien and Chao-zu aren’t too far behind. Piccolo seemingly lands by himself, without alerting anyone, despite the fact that Vegeta knew he was there. Tien and Chao-zu don’t trust Vegeta, as they still remember what he did to them back on Earth. Yamcha seems ok with it though, his only problem is that he doesn’t want to fight the monster that is on their way to Earth. Bulma suggests that it could be Goku, but everyone else confirms that it is who they feared – Freiza!

In space, Freiza is looking out of the window of his spacecraft, as they close in on Earth. He looks very different to last time, and has many different electrical parts fitted to him. Standing next to him is a giant who dwarfs him, named King Cold – Freiza’s dad (I don’t think he is as powerful as Freiza though, as he drops the hint that his son is the most powerful being in the universe). They discuss what they are going to do to Earth and its inhabitants, making Freiza laugh that evil laugh of his.

Back on Earth. the bickering continues, but in the end Piccolo manages to break it up by shouting at them. Vegeta merely smirked though, obviously not scared of the Namek. Bulma hopefully asks if Goku has arrived yet, but it is a blatant no as they all hang their hands down, just as disappointed as she is. A huge circular spacecraft passes over their heads, and they realize that the one they feared is here. The ship cruises over them, and lands near by. At first Yamcha really doesn’t want to go, but after a bit of persuasion, he reluctantly tags along. They all climb up steep cliffs, and jump over narrow ridges, being careful not to expose their power levels to the scouters that Freiza’s men wear. As they near Freiza, he and his dad get off the ship.

Freiza looks around, taking in the atmosphere of the planet Earth. King Cold asks why he doesn’t just destroy it, but Freiza explains his plan for revenge, saying that he will take out each one of the ‘monkeys’ friends. He then goes into an uncontrollable burst of laughter, stopped only when he sees something out of the corner of his eye. It scares him greatly…..it’s Goku! Freiza sees him standing on a rock with his blonde hair flowing in the wind, and his green eyes looking right towards him. Freiza steps back with fear, and Goku slowly fades away. Realizing that he is only seeing things, Freiza gives a relieved sigh, and remembers how he was defeated on Namek by the super saiyan. Freiza remembers how Goku left him beaten, but he still attacked him from behind, yet the super saiyan still managed to counter the attacks. Freiza goes on to remember the planet blowing up, with him on it. Out in space, King Cold had been searching for it, claiming that a mere planet explosion couldn’t kill his son. It took them a while, but eventually they picked up a very weak power signal, and they pulled Freiza in, and put him into the rejuvenator tank immediately. If they had got to him any later, he may well have died a lonely death. While Freiza was recovering, King Colds top scientists were working on new parts for the evil tyrant. These parts would make Freiza even faster, even more powerful than even he was before. The top half of Freiza’s body recovered, and he was attached to the new legs they made for him, and the new parts they made for him were put on too. Remembering what he said when he woke up, Freiza’s flashback continues, as he sits up, and says “Let’s go to Earth”. The course was changed, and they arrived in the planet that they now stand on.

Freiza is snapped out of his little dream by King Cold, telling him to get on with whatever he is doing. Freiza sends his men out to look for the Earthlings, but a few sword swipes stop them in their tracks, as a young teenager with a parting in his purple hair arrives, and puts his sword back in the pouch on his back. Freiza laughs at him, impressed that he would dare to tangle in his affairs, but the teenager just tells Freiza that he will die by his sword. Freiza isn’t impressed however, and laughs in this kids face. Freiza orders his soldiers to kill this cocky teenager with his low power rating, but when Freiza’s soldiers shoot, the teenager flicks all of the gun shots away. Bemused at how the kid is doing this, all the soldiers charge in at him, only to be cut up, just like the first wave was. The teenager holds his sword in a pose for a while, as the soldiers stand there. Then, slowly, one-by-one, they all fall to the ground. Freiza is surprised that a teenager can cause so much damage to his elite soldiers, and he steps forward to take care of matters. Freiza isn’t at all intimidated by the teenagers presence, and likewise with the teenager and Freiza. The evil tyrant is getting annoyed now, and becomes even more so when the teenager tells him that he is about to get a surprise. Freiza doesn’t know what he’s talking about, but then the teenager starts to power up, and his hair starts to stand on end. He is engulfed in an aura of energy, then his hair flashes blonde, then stays that colour. His eyes turn green, and Freiza realizes what this kid is. The teenager tells Freiza to say hello to a real life super saiyan, and it’s not Goku. Freiza is terrified as this young kid, turns out to be a super saiyan.

Vegeta and the others have just got to the top of the cliff, and see the super saiyan, looking on disbelievingly. They know that he must be, because of his power. They watch the battle with interest.

Freiza quickly goes for an energy beam attack, throwing it at the teenager, but it is easily blocked, and thrown away to a safe place. Freiza is in awe that his attack was unaffected, so he quickly charges up a death ball on his finger. It is huge in diameter, but the teenage super saiyan simply stands there, looking on. Freiza can’t believe that he isn’t scared, as he launches the ball of the confident teenager. The teenager doesn’t move, until the ball connects with him. It slowly pushes down into the ground, but after a short while, the teenager emerges, holding the death ball. Freiza can’t believe that anyone could catch his most powerful attack, and with a fit of rage, he blasts an energy beam into the death ball causing it to explode. The teenager seems to have been destroyed, as King Cold laughs that it took his son so long to defeat that little boy. Freiza insists that he was only playing around with him, but King Cold doesn’t believe him.

Standing on a ridge behind them both is that very same teenager, with his blonde hair blowing in the wind. Somehow he must have managed to get out of the way of the explosion. He shouts Freiza’s name, and when he turns round, then teenage super saiyan does a load of things with his hands, then blasts an energy beam straight at Freiza. The evil (now robotic) tyrant manages to dodge it, but when he looks up again, the teenager bares down upon him with his sword, and slices him a few times. Freiza feels himself being torn apart, and is cut into pieces (In the Japanese version he is cut right in half, but in our version you don’t see him being split, you just know he’s dead). Freiza hits that floor, and King Cold can’t believe that his son has been defeated.

The teenage wonder then turns to King Cold, who looks a lot like Freiza does in his second form. The King realizes that he can’t beat this kid, so he asks him to take Freiza’s placer by his side. After a little bit of consideration, the kid gives a simple answer – no. King Cold now looks very afraid, and he begs to see the blade that the kid used to kill Freiza. The teenager foolishly hands it over, and King Cold remarks on the outstanding craftsmanship of it. He then makes a bet with himself that Freiza wouldn’t have been defeated had it not have been for this blade. The teenager still looks very confident, and he tells Cold to believe what he wants. King Cold then says that he will, and charges at the kid with the blade.

The Earth’s Special Forces look on, thinking that this is the end for the kid.

King Cold brings the sword down, but the kid catches it, and pushes Cold back. Freiza’s dad can’t believe it as the teenager holds out his hand, and blasts a hole right through him. He then takes the sword, puts it back in it’s pouch, then powers down to his normal form. He notices that everyone has been watching him, and turns round to look at them. They all prepare to fight, worried that this incredible power would want to take them out too. Instead, he tells them that he is going to meet Goku, and asks if they want to come. Krillen doesn’t trust him, but Gohan and Vegeta go straight off, desperate to see Goku, for entirely different reasons. Slowly, one-by-one, the rest of them follow, until they are all flying in a line behind this young super saiyan. The kid lands, and so too does everyone else. He checks his watch, and says that they have got about two hours before Goku arrives.Vegeta won’t believe that this kid could be a super saiyan, and when everyone asks why, he tells them that he and Goku are the only two saiyans left, and if you count Gohan, then that would make three. The kid knows this, but won’t tell them anything. He pulls out a capsule from his pocket, and throws it to the floor, making a small, cooling machine. He opens it up, and takes a drink from it. Krillen stil doesn’t trust him, but Gohan does, and he takes one, as does Bulma. Reluctantly, Krillen grabs one, and cautiously takes a sip. Then gulps, then he drinks it as fast as he can, enjoying it thoroughly. He has started to trust the teenage kid now.

The teenager explains to them all that he has never actually met Goku, only heard about him from people around him. He keeps on looking at Vegeta for some reason, claiming that it is because he likes his pink shirt, although that is obviously not the real reason. This is aggravating the saiyan greatly, as he shouts at the kid to look at someone else.

2 hours pass, and a ship, rather like the one that the Ginyu Force travel in, crashed down to Earth. The door opens, and everyone gasps. A hand comes out, then a body. It’s Goku! He’s finally back on Earth! Everyone cheers for him, taking him by surprise, as he asks how they knew that he would be there. They all point to the teenager, and tell him that he is a super saiyan too. Rather than getting competitive, Goku congratulates the kid, amazed that he became one at such a young age. The teenager then asks if he can talk to Goku privately for a while, and Goku agrees, telling everyone that he will be right back.

The two fly over to another area, just across a small creak. They talk, and the teenager explains that he is called Trunks, and is from the future. He time traveled over here in need of help. Everyone watches on as Trunks tells Goku all of this information. Before Trunks goes on, he asks Goku if he can turn Super saiyan at will, and Goku says that he couldn’t do it at first, but with a bit of training, he got the hang of it. Trunks then tells him to turn super saiyan now, and Goku does. Trunks soon goes super saiyan too, then he pulls out his sword, and swiftly attacks Goku with it. Just before he makes contact, he stops though, and asks why Goku didn’t try to block it. Goku explains that he searched his feelings, and sensed to killing intent inside of him. Trunks smirks at this, then tells Goku that he won’t stop this time, so Goku raises his finger, and it powers up a little. Trunks swings at him, and Goku blocks every single shot just by using his finger. Trunks explains that they are the attacks that he cut Freiza up with, and that Goku really is as powerful as everyone had said he was.

Trunks then makes fun of Goku for being late, but the saiyan explains to him that he could have arrived earlier if he wanted because of his new special ability. Basically, he can teleport. Trunks is amazed, and said that he didn’t know that Goku could do that. He then throws his sword into the air, and catches it in the pouch on his back. He powers down from super saiyan form, and so too does Goku. Trunks explains that Vegeta is his father, but he doesn’t know him very well because almost everyone died in his time when he was just a baby, because of a terrible evil. Gohan was the only one who survived this attack, and they soon got him, but that was after he had trained Trunks to become as strong as he is now. With Piccolo dead too, that meant that the dragonballs had gone, meaning no one could be wished back.

Goku can’t believe that Vegeta is a father, and laughs with a huge grin on his face. Trunks smiles, and says that his mother told him that he was a proud man, and told him that Goku was a great fighter too. Goku asked if he knew the woman, and Trunks points to Bulma. Goku laughs his head off, happy that Bulma and Vegeta get together. Trunks tells him that it didn’t last though, and Goku rightly assumes that it was because they are both way too stubborn. Apparently Yamcha got a new girlfriend in the near future.

Trunks then gets back to the matter at hand, and explains that the evil is in the form of two androids, the creations of Dr Gero, and as soon as they could think for themselves, they killed their creator and went on a rampage, destroying everything for fun. Trunks says that it is partially Goku’s fault, for not killing Gero when he had the chance back when he was just a kid. Goku realizes that it was a mistake letting him live, but asks what relevance all this bares to him. Trunks tells him that these androids will be created in exactly three years time, but he has no idea of where the lab is yet, so he can’t destroy them before they are made. Goku seems to look forward to fighting them, and Trunks can’t believe that he isn’t scared after all that he has said. Goku tells him that it will be a challenge. Trunks laughs, and says that he was glad to meet him. Before Trunks goes, Goku asks if he was killed by the androids in his timeline too, but Trunks tells him that he died because of a heart disease, and he hasn’t got long left to live. Goku is upset that he will be killed by a mere disease, but Trunks tosses Goku a little bottle, and tells him that contains the antidote for the heart disease that he will pick up, and Goku gladly ctaches it. Before he leaves, Trunks asks Goku not to tell anyone what he has just told him, as it could affect the outcome of history, so much so in fact that he could never be born. Goku promises, then watches as Trunks flies off, back to his time machine.

Goku flies over to the gathered collection of his friends, and they ask him what they talked about, but Goku claimed that it was nothing. Piccolo is angry that Goku is hiding this though, and tells him that he heard the whole thing, because of his large ears giving him fantastic hearing. Goku tries to stop him from giving it away, but Piccolo only tells them about the androids coming in three years, and says that he wants a chance to change his fate, because he wants to live. Everyone is with him, as he tells them that he is going to train for the coming of these robots, and says that everyone else should too. Goku is getting mean looks from everyone, because they are annoyed that he didn’t tell them about these androids. He feels pretty stupid, not realizing that everyone should have known about this. They all prepare to train, as the Trunks saga ends.


CELL SAGA


It is now 3 years after the arrival of the mysterious boy. He had told Goku that they were supposed to train for the arrival of two strong beings, androids, created by Dr. Gero. They did as the mysterious boy told them, they trained hard for three years.

They waited for the arrival of the two androids in the place that they were said to be, and there they meet Android #19 and Android #20. Android #19 is the first of a series of creations to destroy Goku. Along with the scheme, Dr. Gero requests Android #19 to make him (Dr. Gero) into a cyborg so that he would become stronger, and so Dr. Gero is transformed to Android #20.

The Z Warriors meet with Androids #19 and #20 and the two sides engage in battle. Goku leaves the battle because of his heart disease and leaves the battle to Vegeta. The android is destroyed and Dr. Gero is shattered. Despite the grave defeat, Dr. Gero's cybernetic programming enables him to self-repair, so that he may live to fight again.

Android #20 then works on developing a better android model. Meanwhile, he unleashes two of his other creations, Android #17 and Android #18. Androids #17 and #18 get annoyed of Dr. Gero. As a result, Android #17 kills Dr. Gero. But, the doctor had just finished creating Android #21, who is still developing in a giant test tube. Before he dies, he issues the final command to his new android to feast on the rebellious androids. Android #17 and Android #18 leave the lab and unleash Android #16. But as it turns out, Android #16 is a peaceful android. (This can be shown through his love towards the wild animals.)

As time passes, the Z Warriors become aware of the new androids as they battle again and again but always reach a stalemate. However, the Z Warriors are still not match for the androids because the androids are robots, and therefore do not tire in a long battle while the Z Warriors eventually run out of energy. Goku suffers a heart attack in one battle and retreats. Trunks, who was sent back in time by future Bulma with medicine to heal Goku's heart so that Goku would live to kill the androids and thus change the future, gives Goku the medicine. Goku is saved, but the Saiyans still do not continue to fight the androids. Instead, they train in a chamber to get stronger. Meanwhile, Piccolo fuses with Kami, his half father, to become stronger (His story is told in the Dragonball series.) Dende, a Namek child, replaces Kami as guardian of the dragonballs. Androids #16, #17, and #18 go to seek Goku to destroy him. Piccolo finds the androids first and begins to fight them. Back in Dr. Gero's lab, Cell has finished developing and breaks out of the giant "test tube", promising to fulfill his creator's wish.

Cell flies to find Androids #17 and #18. On his way devours the souls of the unlucky civilians he passes to become stronger. Finally, he meets with the other androids. To our heroes' surprise, they learn that Androids #17 and #18 know nothing about Cell. Cell and Android #17 threaten to kill each other. Android #17 heads out to fight him. But, he does not stand up to Cell and is easily defeated. This is when our heroes learn the great powers of Cell. Android #18 is now worried, but Android #16 flies out to fight Cell. To everybody's amazement, Android #16 is able to stand up to Cell. However, he is still destroyed. Cell now heads for his goal and devours Android #17 with his tail. Cell now changes into Cell--form 2. With the power of Android #17 combined to his, he becomes stronger than ever.

Then, he heads over to devour Android #18. Android #18 tries to escape, but she is still eventually devoured. Cell now changes into Cell form 3, and becomes "Perfect Cell" Cell, after devouring the souls of so many people, is no longer an android and becomes organic. After Cell is gone, Bulma collects the body parts of Android #16 and repairs him. Android 16 is re-programmed to fight on the Z Warriors' side. Our heroes now head out to fight Cell. Mr. Satan attempts to fight to fight Cell, claiming to be the strongest man in the world, but does no damage to Cell. It is now Goku's turn to do battle with Cell. A battle that is so fast, that a regular person cannot see it with the naked eye.

At first, the two just play around and give the other hopes, but later on, they fight for real and this proves to be a very hard battle. Goku does a Kamehameha to Cell that blows away his head and arms, but Cell, with Piccolo's power is able to grow out a new one. After this things look bad for Goku, and so he gives up and tells his son, Gohan to fight instead. Gohan does as his father tells him, but is still not fighting with his maximum power. Cell tries to make Gohan angry so he can release his powers by expelling from his body 7 Cell Juniors, miniature blue duplicates of Cell. These Cell Juniors are beating up all of Goku's friends while he is just watching everything. Android 16 tries to destroy Cell by self destructing, but Bulma had taken away the bomb inside him and so Cell kills him. After he is dead his head is still able to talk. And so Android 16 asks Mr. Satan to throw his head towards Gohan so he can talk to him and so he does (this is the only real thing that Mr. Satan does in this tournament). When Android 16's head arrives at Gohan's feet, he talks to him and tells him that some people will never understand with words, and to let out all of his hidden powers.

At this Cell walks towards Gohan and steps on Android 16's head, which finally kills him. The death of Android 16 triggers his anger, an enraged teenage Gohan powers up and reaches Super Saiyan level 2. Gohan then destroys all the Cell Juniors and fights Cell easily, while not even Goku was able to keep up with them (The Cell Jr's.). In a following battle, Cell is kicked and Android #18 is spit back out. (She is unconscious.) Cell turns back into form 2 and is defeated.

But, he activates his self destruction mode so that when he dies, the world will blow up with him. To save the Earth, Goku teleports Cell out of Earth and into Kai's planet, where Cell blows up. Thus, Goku, Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory die as well.

The Z Warriors mourn the loss of Goku, but cheer at the victory over Cell at the same time. A fireball flies out of nowhere and pierces through Trunks. Upon Trunks' death, Cell, in form 3, appears. He tells that when he blew up, a brain cell survived. From the cell, other cells multiplied and he was once again formed. Cell happily laughs as he tells that he is amazed he is able to rebuild himself into form 3! Then, Cell threatens to destroy the earth. Now it is up to Gohan to try to save our planet. With one arm (the other injured when he went to let a fireball meant for Vegeta hit him), Gohan prepares a fireball. He fires at Cell and Cell fires back. A stalemate is meant, but with Kai's help, Goku is able to talk to Gohan and encourages him. Meanwhile, Krillin protects the unconscious Android #18 and Yamcha, Tienshinhan, and Vegeta attack Cell in hope that this will Gohan distract Cell. With the help of the now dead Kai, Goku, also dead, is able to communicate with Gohan and encourages him to use all his power to defeat Cell. Gohan overpowers Cell and Cell is disintegrated by Gohan's fireball. (But, Sataan takes credit for Cell's death because of his lies to the reporters.)

At the end, the warriors gather the dragonballs to bring those killed by Cell back to life. However, Goku is still dead because he was already brought back to life once and cannot come back again, but tells that he is okay and is now with King Ki. Android #18 awakens and flees. However, everybody learns here that Krillin has developed a crush on Android #18! At the end of this series, there is a short memorial about the life of Goku. And there is peace on Earth.

Buu SAGA
Seven years have passed since the Cell game. Gohan starts attending Orange Star High School in Satan City (yes, they named the city after Mr. Satan). There he meets Mr. Satan's daughter Videl. She is a crime fighter and is always there when something bad happens in Satan City. Gohan had gone to Satan City a couple before he started school, and each time he went he had to save the city from some criminals. Instead of having everyone find out who he was he would turn into a super saiyan and so he got the name of "The Golden Warrior". Videl arrives to the crime scene late and a man that saw the whole thing tells Videl that the person who saved the city was a young man with blonde hair, the school emblem, white shirt, black vest, and orange pants. So Videl goes to school and asks the guys with blonde hair if it was them. Then she accuses Gohan that it is him because he was wearing what the man had described, but he reminds her that he doesn't have blonde hair. She then tells him that she was wrong about him and hat she didn't mean to accuse him, but she still has a suspicion because she is remembers seeing some men that were able to turn their hair blonde during the Cell tournament from some of her dad's old tapes, but her dad had told her it was just a dumb trick and so she forgets the idea.

Since Gohan finds out that she is going to discover him he goes to Bulma to ask her to make him something. She does and he is now the Great Saiyaman. In his disguise he saves a lot of people and now Videl wants to find out who the Great Saiyaman is because he saves her two times. She finally does find out Gohan's secret, by a scar that Gohan had on his face, and begs him to teach her how to fly. She also makes Gohan join the Tenkaichi Budokai so that they can fight against each other in the final, and so he finally agrees. About this time Gohan goes to Capsule Corp and asks Bulma to make him something else for his head so that he will be able to fight in the tournament, because the helmet he had now was not allowed. When Vegeta hears that Gohan was joining the tournament he tells Gohan that he too will enter because he wanted to see if he was now stronger than Gohan. A voice comes out of nowhere and says that he too is joining the tournament. It's Goku! Goku tells them that he will be granted one day to fight in the tournament and so Gohan goes and tells the other Z warriors.

Krillin was living with Kamesenin along with his wife #18 and his daughter Marron. When #18 finds out that the tournament winner would receive one million dollars, she insists on joining and starts training right away. Piccolo is living with Dende at the Kami-tower along with Mr. Popo and says that he too will join. During the meantime, Goku starts to train in heaven. Gohan goes home and tells his mom and we find out that Chi-Chi has a second son named Goten that was born a couple of months after the Cell tournament. Gohan tells his mother that Goku will be coming and she gets so happy and is even happier because she will win a lot of money because she says that Goku and Gohan are sure to win first and second place. She allows Gohan to miss school to train and so Gohan begins his training.

Goten tags along and when Gohan asks him to help him he shows Gohan that he too can turn Super Saiyan. Gohan is so surprised and happy. He didn't think that Goten could turn Super Saiyan at such an early age. So now Gohan trains with Goten, but there is a problem. Goten does not know how to fly. Being a nice brother, Gohan tells Goten that he will teach him to fly. At this moment, Videl comes in and reminds Gohan that he promised her that he would teach her to fly. So the next day they start their flying lessons. Goten gets it right away and Videl learns a little while afterwards.

At the same time Vegeta too trains in the time room with Trunks. He was training under a lot of gravity and it was too much for Trunks. Vegeta asks him to leave because he would only get hurt, but then Trunks turns Super Saiyan and starts running all over the place. Vegeta is very surprised and finds out that Goten too can turn Super Saiyan.

The day of the tournament finally arrives, and of course, so does Goku. The children's tournament begins first. Goten gets runner-up and Trunks wins. Being the winner, Trunks gets to fight against Mr. Satan. With one simple punch, Trunks wins, and Mr. Satan says he "let" Trunks win.

When the tournament for the adults is about to begin, two strange men appear before Goku, and both of them are finalists in the tournament. The first fight is between Krillin and Punter, and of course Krillin wins. The next fight is between Piccolo and Kaioshin, and for some odd reason, Piccolo refuses to fight him because of the major difference in "dimensions". After the fight Piccolo asks Kaioshin if he is the Grand Kaiosama, but Kaioshin tells Piccolo that he is not, that he is the Supreme Kaiosama, which is the God that the Kaios and the Grand Kaiosama worship. At this Piccolo is very astonished, but promises not to tell anyone. The next fight is between Videl and Supopobichi, Supopobichi wins. It's Gohan's turn to fight next and it is against Kibito.

Kibito asks him if he would turn Super Saiyan for him, and so he does. this moment, two men with "M"s on their foreheads, named Supopobichi and Yamu, steal Gohan's energy. The two run away and head toward a space ship. While Gohan is still unconscious, Kaioshin follows the the two men and then so does Vegeta, Goku, Krillin, and Piccolo (just a few moments before, Piccolo told them who Kaioshin was). Before they leave, Kibito reassures Goku that he will heal Gohan, and so Goku leaves Gohan to Kibito.

Kibito does exactly what he said, he gives Gohan's energy back, even a little more than what he had before. While Goku and the others are following Kaioshin, Kaioshin tells them about the story of Buu and Babidi. How Babidi's father, Bibidi, had killed the other Kaioshin. How Bibidi was killed and how Buu got trapped in an egg. After Gohan gets his powers back, him, Videl, and Kibito try to catch up with the others. While at the same time Kibito is telling them the same story.

Since most of the participants left, and the tournament must go on, some fights continue and we get to the finals. It is between Number 18 and Mighty Mask (which is Goten and Trunks in disguise), to see who gets to fight the almighty Mr. Satan. # 18 figures out who Mighty Mask is and so Mighty Mask is disqualified. # 18 is up to fight Mr. Satan. Mr. Satan is very scared of her because he saw the fight against Mighty Mask and knew what she could do. So # 18 takes advantage and tells him that he will let him win if he gives her 2 million dollars (remember, the prize was one million) and so Mr. Satan accepts and he wins the tournament. At the same time, Goku and the rest enter the ship, while Piccolo and Krillin stay outside because they were turned into stone by Darbura's spit. As they enter different stages they have to pass some obstacles, like fighting some bad guys, but of course the warriors win all of them. But then it's Gohan's turn to fight (he had not trained at all) and he is up to fight Darbura (Babdi's main guy). The fight seems pretty even and is barely starting. Darbura stops fighting and reports to Babidi. He tells him that he has a plan.

Since he had felt that Vegeta was evil (he kept screaming at Gohan and Goku), he wanted for him to be on their side. And so Babidi posses Vegeta and he becomes Majin Vegeta (with an "M" on his forehead). All Majin Vegeta wants to do is fight against Kakaroto (Goku). They are transported onto the tournament (the final battle had just finished) and Vegeta blows up 2 sections of it, killing a lot of innocent by standers. This upsets Goku very much and finally agrees to fight him. In this conversation with Vegeta, Goku discovers that he let himself be possessed by Babidi on purpose, because this was the only way to get Goku to fight against him because he (Goku) had only one day of life on Earth. In order for no more people to be killed, they are transported to another place where there are no people and so the fight begins there. While Gohan and Kaioshin enter Babidi's ship.

The intense fight between Vegeta and Goku gives Buu enough energy to be revived. So Buu finally wakes up and now Vegeta finally realizes good always triumphs over evil and self-destruct in hope to kill Buu. Goku then heads to battle against Buu, Goku turns SSJ2, then SSJ3 but he still can't defeat Buu. Later Gohan heads to the Kaio-shin's planet for training.

Before Goku's time is up on Earth he teaches Goten and Trunks the fusion technique, then they get trained by Piccolo so they can be strong enough to beat Buu. Soon after Goten and Trunks fuse to become Gotenks, later Gotenks turns SSJ1 and SSJ3. Gotenks is defeating Boo, but Boo absorbs Gotenks and becomes a lot stronger.

Kaio-shin sacrifices his life so Goku can live. Goku, now alive, teleports to the battle. Soon after King Yama grants Vegeta life to fight Buu. When Goku arrives to the scene he tells Gohan to fuse with him, Goku then throws a fusion earring at Gohan. Gohan drops the earring and Boo absorbs Gohan. Then Vegeta comes to the scene, Vegeta fuses with Goku to become Vegetto. Vegetto defeats Buu, but lets himself get absorbed to rescue their friends (this wears the fusion off). They rescue Goten, Gohan, Trunks, and Piccolo through Boo's pores.

All of the energy that Boo has taken, restores him back to his normal form, then Boo destroys the Earth. Kaio-shin teleports to help Goku teleport Vegeta, Goten, Trunks, Piccolo, Satan and Dende to Kaio-shin's planet. Goku and Boo start to fight, Goku starts to get beaten up badly. Vegeta jumps into the battle so Goku can create a Spirit Bomb

The Namek Dragonballs are gathered to wish back the Earth and to wish back everyone killed by Boo. The third wish is stored for later use. Goku's Genki-dama is ready , Goku throws it and Boo pushes it back. Vegeta tells Dende to wish back all of Goku's strength back. Now with all his strength restored, Goku throws back the Spirit Bomb at Boo. Boo can't counter so he is killed.

Ten years after the battle against Boo, Boo is reincarnated into an evil cleansed from called Uboo. Goku decides to train him since he has great potential. Gohan and Videl get married and have a daughter named Pan. This is the end of Dragonball Z.

Android Saga

After a period of 3 years, Trunk’s fateful prophecy regarding the arrival of monstrous Androids has finally come to pass. Two ruthless Androids, namely Androids 19 and 20, have come forth and are destroying everything in sight. As Earth’s Special Forces comb the city looking for the source of the mayhem, Yamcha is the first to sight them and pays a heavy price as Android 20 strikes him with a horrendous blow. Goku and the others arrive just in time to save their fallen friend, and as Krillen hauls Yamcha to safety, Goku squares off to fight Android 19.

Goku appears to be making short work out of Android 19, as he hits the maniacal monster with a flurry of blows. But strangely enough, Goku’s power is fading, and Android 19 appears unimpaired. It seems Goku has fallen prey to the vicious attack of the heart virus as Trunks predicted. Surprisingly, before Android 19 can finish off Goku, the Super Saiyan is rescued by none other than Vegeta!

Vegeta launches into Android 19 with a merciless assault, and quickly puts an end to the robotic menace. Android 20, realizing the danger he’s up against, flees the scene. While in pursuit, Earth’s heroes make a shocking discovery……..Android 20 is Dr. Gero, the evil scientist. A frantic race ensues. Android 20 speeds to his lab where he will activate his killer robots, being pursued by Earth’s forces intent on stopping him.

Dr. Gero eludes the Earth’s forces, and arrives back at his laboratory before the heroes can reach him. All hope appears lost as the worst fears are realised…….Android 17 and Android 18 are brought back to life! Dr. Gero appears to finally be achieving his dream of conquering the world. But all that abruptly changes as Android 17 and Android 18 rebel against Dr. Gero and destroy him.

Battling the Androids seems hopeless as Earth’s forces prove no match for their power. But desperate times call for desperate measures. Piccolo, in a brazen move, approaches Kami with a proposal that they unite to form a Super Namek! Meanwhile the Androids make a joy ride of destruction as they head to their new destination……..Goku’s house! The Androids plan to strike Goku while he’s down. While Goku has moved to avoid the Androids, Bulma makes another startling discovery. There is a second Time Capsule……..identical to the Capsule Trunks uses!

Garlic Jr. Saga

The Garlic Jr. saga starts off with a small bit of carnage. The evil little man himself is destroying a small village, and mercilessly killing a family. He and his four minions are laughing manically as they do so.

Gohan is racing a saber-toothed tiger, and winning, having great fun as he runs along. He stops just before a dead end, but the tiger can’t, and goes straight into it. Gohan then runs off, and jumps off a cliff, into some water, after stripping off to his underwear during the descent. He swims along playfully for a while, then starts to throw fishes out of the water, for his dinner. After he has piled a job load up, he goes to climb out of the water. A familiar figure greets him, in the form of Krillen, wearing a white suit. Gohan invites him in, but Krillen tells him that he has a car at the top of the hill, and he doesn’t want to get his clothes wet. Gohan talks him into having a quick dip though, and the two race off to the water. Before Krillen can dive in though, a voice shouts out to him. It is that of a woman. Krillen stops dead in his tracks, and turns round. From out of the car comes a woman who looks a little like Bulma. Her name is Marron. She tells Krillen to hurry up, and to get back in the car. Krillen says bye to Gohan, and informs him that there is a party at Roshi’s house later on. Gohan doesn’t know whether Chi-Chi will let him go, but he appreciates the offer none-the-less. Krillen walks up to the hill, and drives off with Marron. It takes Gohan a while, but he finally works out that Krillen has got a girlfriend!

Meanwhile, Kami has gone to speak with Piccolo, who is training against forms of himself. He goes back into one, and turns to Kami. The old, watcher of Earth asks Piccolo to become the new God, but he refuses, saying that he isn’t interested in the job. Kami understands, and goes back up to his lookout.

At Kami’s tower, Mr Popo is idly watering the plants, when he is disturbed by a collection of individuals, who fly around, destroying all of the architecture of the lookout. Mr. Popo is scared out of his mind at this point, but a voice orders everyone to stop. Surprisingly, these minions listen to the voice, and then bow, going down to one knee as the voices origination walks through the archway. The voice came from a small, hooded Namek, who looks up at Mr Popo, and they both recognize each other immediately. This gives Mr Popo quite a shock, but it makes the little man laugh. Mr Popo points out that he is Garlic Jr., and that they thought they had imprisoned him forever. He then goes on to tell the story of how it happened (See the movie review of movie 1 for a detailed account of what happens). Garlic Jr. pressures Mr Popo into telling him where Kami is, but the assistant won’t give in, and tries to escape on his magic carpet. The minions are too fast though, and they shoot some sort of web at Popo, which freezes him. Garlic Jr explains about the webs paralyzing people upon touching them, then goes on to blast Mr Popo with some sort of energy ball, which shrinks him dramatically down to size. Garlic holds Mr Popo, who is entrapped within the energy, in his hand, laughing evilly. He then walks off.

At Master Roshi’s house, everyone is having fun, with Krillen introducing Marron. When asked if she is his girlfriend, he says ‘no’ modestly, which excited Marron. She asks Yamcha is he is free to go on a date some time soon, and he agrees. Bulma hears this conversation, and tells Yamcha off, but he insists that they were only joking. Marron says she was serious though, and Krillen becomes very upset.

Elsewhere, Gohan is asking his mom if he can go to the party, but she is firmly saying no to him, and telling him to go do his studies. He reluctantly walks off into his room, but then sneaks out of his window. He is upset at disobeying his mom, but he gets over it, and jumps on Icarus, a small flying bird thing, and goes off to Roshi’s island.

On the lookout tower, Kami appears, to see the destruction that had been done. He is gob smacked by it, and orders that whoever did this come out and show themselves. Garlic Jr. steps out, and after getting over the initial shock, Kami realizes that Garlic was the only one who could produce such destruction. Garlic goes on at Kami for a while, then attacks. Kami manages to fly high, trying to avoid the energy beams. They follow him though, and he barely manages to deflect them with an energy shield. Garlic soars into the air, and gives Kami a small beating with his fists. After commenting on Garlic’s improved speed, Kami manages to fight Garlic off, blasting him down to the ground. He then powers up a beam of energy in his hand, ready to finish him off, when the four minions all shoot the paralyze web at him. Kami can’t move, and Garlic Jr gets up, then launches the energy beam that traps them, and shrinks them. Kami is now just as small as Mr Popo is. Garlic Jr laughs, and then says that he will become the new watcher of Earth.

The minions and Garlic walk into a room, looking for some sort of bottle. It is found easily, and Garlic Jr opens it, releasing some sort of black cloud. It spreads across the room, then out of the lookout tower, into the air. Garlic explains that it brings out the evil heart in everyone on the Earth, which means that they will soon be attacking each other, and obeying him!

The cloud spreads over the land, shrouding everything in a purple mist. Seeing the mist, Gohan jerks Icarus around, and tries to outrun it, although it soon becomes obvious that they aren’t fast enough, as the cloud gets how on the their heels. Icarus spots a cave, and turns to go in there. It is very narrow, so Icarus first jerks to a halt, so that Gohan goes flying in, then floats away a little, as to get a run up. The bird then flies at full speed into the hole, getting stuck half way, but it’s ok, just got its legs sticking out. The mist passes, and the two of them climb out of the cave, down to the ground. Gohan goes to say hello to some of the animals. He walks up to them, and attempts to greet them, but they lunge at him, trying to attack him. He can’t work out what is wrong with them, as they surround him. Gohan is very scared, as is Icarus, but they manage to escape by flying off the side of the cliff. Wondering what was wrong with the animals, Gohan continues his journey to Master Roshi’s house.

Meanwhile, at Roshi’s house, they are messing around playfully, with Bulma making fun of Krillen for not being able to catch any fish, and Yamcha and Puar joining in with the laughing. Marron comes out, dressed in a stunning swimsuit, to play around with Krillen. That bald-headed former monk gets all embarrassed by this, but he is grateful of it all the same, as he apparently has a crush on her. The two swim around, playfully grabbing at each other and pulling one another under, but they have to duck sharply when a plane comes across, almost knocking Krillen out. It lands on Roshi’s island, and out walks a very angry Chi-Chi. She is on the warpath as she demands to know where Gohan is. No one knows, so she says that she’ll wait for him, calling everyone bad influences. Marron sticks up for them, calling Chi-Chi a grandma. This makes the wife of Goku angry as she powers up, and charges at Marron. She is held by the combined efforts of Bulma, Roshi and Yamcha though. Krillen quickly takes Marron over to the water, where she can escape from Chi-Chi. The two of them rush into the water, and duck under, in a hope to avoid Chi-Chi’s wrath for a little longer. They forget about her, and start playing underneath it. While they are underneath it though, a purple cloud spreads across the sea, and Roshi’s island. Chi-Chi is still struggling to get free so she can take on Marron, and she screams as the cloud comes towards her. It engulfs the four people there, and they are immersed in it.

Krillen and Marron pop up from underneath the water, to see that everyone has gone. Gohan arrives on the scene at this point, and says hello to the two. Krillen informs him that Chi-Chi is here, and this makes Gohan bow his head in shame, and worry. Krillen tells him that Chi-Chi is in a particularly bad mood at the moment too. Marron talks Krillen into taking the blame for Gohan though, and he can’t help but say yes, what with him fancying her and all. They get ready to go to Chi-Chi, who is in the house.

Meanwhile, at Kami’s lookout, Garlic Jr is talking to some sort of shrine, representing his father, and telling it that he will being him back with a wish from the dragonballs, so that he can rules the Earth. Kami also tells Mr. Popo that Garlic will summon the serpent warriors from the depths of hell, to take over the world for him.

Back at Roshi’s house, the gang are finally facing up to their punishment. Krillen explains to Chi-Chi that it was his fault that Gohan came, and he’s sorry. Chi-Chi has a mean look in her eyes though, and small fangs. She walks towards them like a zombie, and then slaps Gohan in the face, knocking him to the floor. The poor kid doesn’t understand what’s wrong, as Chi-Chi goes to attack again. She follows him all round the house, trying to hit him, until he eventually is forced to fight back, throwing Chi-Chi off the roof. He feels really guilty, but when he goes to check on her, she gets up, and swipes at him again. Krillen is having the same problem, but with Yamcha and Bulma. He narrowly avoids a kick from Yamcha, but is soon thrown through the wall of Roshi’s hut, near Gohan. Marron has Roshi himself to deal with, and tries to stop him by throwing everything he can at him. It doesn’t work though. He continues to advance. Krillen tells Gohan that something is wrong (DUH!) and that they have got to fight back. He runs at Roshi, and kicks him away from Marron, saving her. As it looks like the three have got some hope after all, four demon creatures land. They tell Gohan, Krillen and Marron that the purple cloud was what bought out the evil in their friends, which is why they are attacking them. They tell them (In true Bond style) that the only way to stop it is to get the sacred water from Kami’s lookout, where Garlic Jr is. Gohan remembers this name, and staggers back, pondering a way out of this situation. He decides to fight, threatening them to change his mother back, before running at them all. They all use an attack which paralyzes Gohan in mid air. It looks like it is over for the kid until a blast soars down, knocking all the demons back The demons are the minions of Garlic Jr that were seen earlier, that fact is clear now. The origination of the blast came from on top of Roshi’s hut. There stands Piccolo, his cape blowing in the wind. Gohan is delighted to finally see him again, as a wide grin spreads across his face. The minions recognize Piccolo, and tell him that Garlic Jr can kill Piccolo any time he wishes, as he has Kami held captive (If Kami dies, so does Piccolo, and vice versa). This shocks Piccolo slightly, but he keeps a cool look about him, as the minions circle him, along with all of the possessed good guys. It looks as if Gohan, Krillen, Marron and Piccolo are the only ones who haven’t been affected by this cloud. Piccolo gets ready to fight, as everyone surrounds him.

Piccolo asks how an idiot like Garlic Jr could have escaped from the dead zone, so Spice takes the liberty of explaining. A star came into alignment with the planets, but this star was a special star. When it was into the correct alignment, it lets all evil run amok over the universe, as it is at its strongest point when this happens. It happens only once every 1,200 years, which meant that this was Garlic Jr’s only chance to escape. He charged up to his full extent, and managed to shatter the dead zone which held him captive. After this, he went up to Kami’s, and assaulted him, imprisoning him in the bottle.

Gohan and Krillen look on curiously, as they see Piccolo preparing to fight the ones named ‘The Spice Boys’. He runs in, and goes to chop one, but the attack is easily dodged, as the defender appears behind him. Piccolo turns round, and prepares to go all out. Before he can attack again though, he is hit in the back by a blast. Standing behind him is Yamcha, giggling incessantly. Piccolo turns to him, and is forced to fight. He charges, at they exchange blows for a while with neither man able to get a shot in, until Piccolo kicks Yamcha to the ground. He states that the real Yamcha would have put up a far better challenge. The Namek turns to the ‘Spice Boys’, and prepares to attack once again, but for the second time, zombie Yamcha attacks him from behind, this time smashing him down to the sea, with Piccolo managing to stop himself just in time. Yamcha flies back onto the island, and gives an evil smile. Piccolo lowers his head, then goes down to join everyone on Kame’s island. He holds out his hand, and apologizes to everyone for what he is about to do. He charges up an energy blow, when two hands come from out of the ground and grab his heels. Gohan looks on in horror, wanting to do something, but knowing that he is helpless against them. Piccolo is rooted to the spot, as Yamcha runs in, and uses the fangs that he grew when turning evil, to bite Piccolo on the neck, rather like a vampire. He sinks his teeth in, with the Namek in great pain. Yamcha dives off after having a nibble, but Piccolo is still not down. He is standing there, weak from the attack, and powerless to do an awful lot. Two of the ‘Spice Boys’ appear behind Piccolo, and grabs his arms, so that he can’t move at all now. The other two come out of the ground, and start laughing. In dive all of the people who had turns evil on the island, to have themselves a snack on Piccolo’s neck. Piccolo screams out in pain as they all bite him, with Gohan running in. Piccolo orders him to stay back, and to go get the sacred water. Spice informs them that their friends will be permanently like this after 24 hours, and not even the sacred water will be able to save them after that. Gohan reluctantly flies off to Kami’s tower, with tears running down his eyes, as Piccolo’s pain intensifies. Krillen goes with him, and Icarus picks up Marron, who insists on going. They all head off to Kami’s tower.

Piccolo charges up as much as he can, delivering such a force, that everyone goes flying backwards. He collapses onto the floor, after using up all his energy.

The ‘Spice Boys’ start to talk about the effects of the bites, saying that the venom acted very quickly, and that Piccolo would soon be one of them. The bite from one of those zombies turn the others into zombies too. A short while after the conversation took place, Piccolo got up. He had that mad look in his eyes. It looks as if he has been possessed too!

Krillen and Gohan cautiously go into Karin’s tower, carefully treading, being as quiet as they can. They are worried that Karin may have inhaled the purple fog. Footsteps are heard, and Karin pops up. He greets them in his usual way, and everyone gives a sigh of relief. Yajirobe follows closely. Marron starts shouting and saying how cute Karin is. Yajirobe sees her, and asks who she is. When Gohan tells him that it is Krillen’s girlfriend, he flips. He starts blabbering on about how an ugly guy like Krillen doesn’t deserve a girlfriend. Karin reads Gohan and Krillen’s minds, and tells them that time is of the essence. Before he can say any more, the two young warriors are off, leaving Marron behind with the wise cat. Karin moans at him, then starts to get flustered when Marron strokes him.

THE SPICE BOYS VS. GOHAN AND KRILLEN

Krillen and Gohan land on Kami’s lookout, searching for Garlic Jr. He reveals himself from out of the shadows, and starts laughing manically. Gohan and Krillen know what they must do, and they charge at the little evil being. A blast is shot just in front of them though, and they jerk to a halt. Looking up, they can see Piccolo. Gohan is overjoyed at Piccolo being alive, and is about to go up to him when Krillen holds him back. He rightly says that Piccolo is different. The Namek has that look in his eyes, and is looking sinister, as he advances on the two of them. Gohan sees it too, and is confused on whether he should fight his best friend.

Piccolo isn’t required to fight just yet, and Spice holds him back, to prevent him from taking Gohan on just yet.

Garlic Jr walks up to Gohan, and starts to taunt him. He manages to anger him to the point where Gohan charges up, then charges at the little immortal symbol of evil. It appears as though Garlic Jr avoided it. The old Namek turns round (Yes, Garlic Jr is a Namek) and he walks past Gohan laughing. Once he steps past the kid, blood starts to come down his face. He wipes it off, and angrily tells his minions to beat him up a bit, but keep him alive so that Goku comes. He remembers what Gohan did to him before, and is slightly scared. He raises a throne from the floor, sits on it, and orders that the fight commences.

The one who steps forward to fight is a small, red Spice Boy. He decides that he will take on Gohan, and a tall demon, with horns decides to take on Krillen. This leaves the other two of the Spice Boys watching. Gohan looks at Piccolo, unable to understand what is wrong with him. The red Spice Boy tells Gohan to attack, but when he doesn’t, he does so himself. Gohan is caught out not concentrating, as he is slammed in the face, and knocked across Kami’s lookout. Gohan stops skidding right on the edge, looking badly hurt. Krillen runs over to him to help, but the demon taking him on easily catches him up, and hits him in the face, knocking him to the floor.

In Karin’s tower Marron is exercising, listening to a beat, and working hard. Yajirobe and Karin can’t believe how much she wants to exercise. She tells them both that they could do with losing a bit of weight themselves, making them go bright red. She wants something to eat, so the two of them dash down to the kitchen to make some grub. Yajirobe tells Karin that he doesn’t have a chance with her, as he fancies her, but Karin won’t listen. He finishes making the food, and runs up the stairs to give it to his guest.

Back on Kami’s lookout, Krillen is struggling badly. He tries to fight back, but his opponent is too fast (The demon with horns) and dodges every attack, before grabbing Krillen’s face, and constantly slamming it off his knee. Krillen falls down, in massive amounts of pain. He struggles to his feet, able to see Gohan getting up too. Gohan is knocked right down though, then stamped on multiple times by the red guy. Gohan is hurt seriously now, and he is having major trouble getting up. He eventually makes it to his feet, staggering a bit, with his back to his opponent. the red guy fires up an energy blast, and shoots it at Gohan. Using incredible speed, Krillen gets in the way. The red guy is surprised by this, so he fires a multitude of shots at him, with such intensity that the bald guys clothes are ripped right off. As soon as the blasts finish, Krillen drops to the floor, telling Gohan to beat them all for him, Chi-Chi, and Piccolo. The Spice Boys make a big mistake by laughing at Gohan, and taunting him. This only frustrates, and angers him. After a short while, Gohan looks up to them, with a look of hatred in his eyes. The aura around him is absolutely huge as he slowly advances on his enemies. They know that they can’t take him on individually, so they try to get their partner to go first, but in the end, they agree to double team. Forming a huge, purple ball of energy between them, they fire the blast at Gohan, with an enormous explosion occurring on impact. It fills the whole of Kami’s beautiful lookout, leaving only a small spot behind Gohan, where Krillen lies. The bald-headed former monk looks up, and thinks that it is all over. As the smoke clears, a massive smile forms across his face. Gohan is in a blocking pose, breathing heavily. Gohan looks up, and floats into the air. Giving an angry shout, he fires down a Masenko at the red Spice Boy, killing him easily. He then turns to the Demon, and gives him a blast too, destroying him also. Gohan then powers up even further, and flies over to Garlic Jr. He charges up a Masenko, and is about to blast his enemy with it, when Garlic Jr pulls out a small glass container, with Kami trapped inside. Reluctantly, Gohan gets rid of his energy and stands down.

One of Garlic’s minions offers to take on Gohan, and Spice tells him to save some, so that he can have a play. The Spice Boy walks forward, but Spice, the small groups leader, can’t hold onto Piccolo any more, and accidentally lets go. The Namek walks forward, and stands face to face with Gohan. The kid looks up at his trainer and best friend, and powers down, looking helpless. Gohan says Piccolo’s name, but is greeted only with a mammoth uppercut to the jaw, sending him back flipping onto the floor. Garlic Jr laughs, as do his followers, as Gohan hits the concrete slabs of Kami’s lookout. He gets up, but doesn’t want to fight his friend. He is clear that this isn’t the real Piccolo though, as there is drool coming from his mouth, and evil purple eyes glinting in the sun. Piccolo gives off a little roar, and wraps his hands round Gohan’s neck, preparing to choke him out. Despite Gohan’s pleads, Piccolo continues to apply the pressure.

On another planet, Vegeta lands, and he is hard at work, putting all his energy into training to become a super saiyan. He lets off a great blast, which destroys the majority of the planet surface, as he wonders why he can’t do what his arch rival ‘Kakarot’ did. After his blast had been fired, he sees rocks heading his way. After shielding himself from the first few, he senses a huge power, and sees another planet, where the rocks are coming from. He quickly flies over, thinking that Goku is there. He sees a figure shooting rocks out of the planets atmosphere, with a golden aura around him. Vegeta assumes it must be Goku, due to the appearance and power level, so he swoops down to try to learn the secret from him. He is about to get there, when an absolutely epic rock appears. Vegeta has to come to a halt to be able to do anything about it, so he stops, and fires a KI blast, destroying the rock easily. He then flies down to the ground where he thought Goku was, but he had gone. Vegeta seems to realize something though, and claims that he will soon be a super saiyan, as he now knows the secret.

Piccolo relentlessly continues the punishment on Gohan, using his superior speed to get the better of the kid. The Namek keeps on putting a beating on Gohan by using kicks, punches and axehandle smashes. Gohan is attacked to such an extent that he is unable to block properly anymore, as he gets thrown around the place. Krillen is somehow getting up, covered in bruises, and he quickly runs up to a pillar, and hides behind it, as Garlic Jr patiently watches the fight. Krillen sees the bottle with Kami in, and makes a run to try to get it, but Garlic Jr is protected by some kind of force field, which sends Krillen flying back, holding his body. Garlic laughs at Krillen’s futile efforts and walks towards him. He holds out his hand to blast him, and starts to build up energy as Krillen struggles to his feet.

Meanwhile, Piccolo is strangling Gohan, holding him up against a pillar, and choking the life out of him. Gohan is fast getting angry now, but Piccolo just wont stop. After a short while, Gohan sees that Krillen is about to be blasted, and uses a massive force to blow Piccolo off him, into the path of the fire.

Krillen gets to his feet just as Garlic Jr releases his energy ball. Piccolo goes shooting in front of it, and takes the blast. Krillen is grateful towards Gohan for knocking Piccolo in front of the energy. Gohan thinks that he is finished, and walks up to him. Garlic Jr is eager to see what happens, as the kid steps towards him. Piccolo starts to shake a little, but Gohan thinks that he is cured. He walks up to him, and Piccolo gets to his feet. The saiyan is overjoyed at Piccolo still being alive after that epic blast. Krillen sees what is happening, and runs towards Gohan, pushing him out of the way after seeing Piccolo charge. Gohan hits the floor hard, but Piccolo grabs Krillen, and decides to take him out now, so he can’t get in the way anymore. Piccolo lifts Krillen up by his arms, facing outwards, and starts to squeeze. Gohan pleads with him to stop, but Piccolo carries on. He then starts to sink his teeth into Krillen’s neck, to make him one of them. Gohan has given up pleading, and is now ordering Piccolo to stop. After two warning, and Krillen passing out after the bite, Piccolo throws him to the floor, and turns to Gohan. The saiyan kid runs to Krillen to find out if he is ok, and starts shaking him to try and revive him. He is unsuccessful though, and Krillen can’t move. It looks like it is all up to Gohan now.

Sensing a large power, Gohan quickly turns round, to see Piccolo throwing a powerful ball of energy at him. He tries to use his own attack to block it, but his energy is just eaten up by Piccolo’s, which continues to travel towards him. Gohan manages to block it with his hands, but is struggling to keep it away from him, as his arms are straightened out, and shaking under the extreme pressure of Piccolo’s beam. A bit more power is put into it by the Namek, and Gohan is driven backwards, getting himself put through a wall, then crashing into a pillar, as he continues to block the intense energy. After a while, Gohan focus’s a great amount of his power on the energy that he is struggling to maintain in blocking, and he barely manages to direct it skywards away from him. A gigantic explosion proceeds as Gohan pants, out of breath from all of the physical force that he put into surviving that blast.

At Karin’s tower, Marron, Yajirobe, and the wise cat himself are playing poker. Marron is easily winning, and Yajirobe has had to start forfeiting his clothes, as he is only wearing pants. Karin no longer has his walking stick, and literally half of the things on the whole tower are in a pile next to Marron, signaling her winnings. Yajirobe asks Karin why he isn’t reading her mind, and he is told that Marron doesn’t even have one though in her head, which is why there is nothing to read. They carry on playing, and Marron loses yet again. Karin is tricking her into thinking that regular items will help get her into heaven, as he has nothing left that is worth betting. The game goes on, as the fight on top of Kami’s lookout continues….

Gohan takes a rest against the pillar, incessantly looking for Piccolo. Eventually, he spots a shady figure charging through the darkness. The figure seems to disappear, but Gohan sensed something come next to him, and when he turns round, he is met with a fist to the face from Piccolo, sending him soaring through the air. Piccolo then catches up with him, and starts hammering away at him in the stomach, destroying him. Gohan is flung to the floor, but he manages to get up, relatively unscathed. Gohan runs at Piccolo, but again gets his head kicked in, and is sent through another wall. Gohan is irate now, and when Piccolo charges at him, he manages to block all of the punches, but the final one had such force that it sent him through yet another wall. Again though, Gohan gets up, still full of energy. Piccolo runs at him, but Gohan blocks a few, and launches himself into the Nameks stomach. Piccolo is temporarily dazed by this, but he recovers quickly, and grabs hold of Gohan, throwing him into the air, then hammering him back to the ground. Gohan is up again though, and Piccolo is starting to struggle. He resorts to a special move, where he splits up into three. At first, Gohan is scared by this, but when Piccolo charges, he manages to block most of the punches. Gohan kept blocking two of the Piccolo’s, but the third one kept on getting the shot on him when he couldn’t defend himself. Gohan was sent through the ceiling after a bit of this happening, and he landed near Garlic Jr. He was on the floor, and was getting taunted by Garlic. He struggled to his hands and knees, and looked up. He saw Krillen! But Krillen was looking different after that bite he received off Piccolo. He kicked Gohan in the face, sending him across the floor. Just then, Piccolo burst through the door. Garlic tells his minions to finish Gohan off, but Piccolo and Krillen get there first, and continue to lay down the punishment on Gohan by hitting him repeatedly in the stomach. Piccolo knocks him down, then grabs him by the scruff off the neck, ready to deliver the final blow. His hand is caught in mid-air by Garlic Jr though, as he says that he has decided hat he will finish Gohan off.

THE PLAN IS REVEALED....

Piccolo actually speaks now, then grabs the small bottles containing Mr Popo and Kami, from out of Garlic’s pocket. He throws them to Krillen, then is blown backwards a little by Garlic’s power. Realizing that Piccolo was no longer on his team, Garlic turned to Krillen, who broke off the bottle tops, releasing the two people living on Kami’s lookout. They soar out of the bottles, and are relieved to be back to normal form. Confused at what was going on, Garlic Jr orders his minions to destroy Piccolo and Krillen, because he was sure that they were no longer on his team. Krillen is worried about Gohan, but Piccolo assures him that he will be fine, and he is, as he struggles to his feet, to see that his friends are somehow back to normal. Piccolo looks at Garlic and his minions, and prepares to fight.

They all pair off against someone. Gohan takes the Spice Boys leader, Krillen takes the muscular member of the Spice Boys, and Piccolo takes on Garlic Jr. Kami and Mr Popo take the sacred water, and try to think of a way to save the world. Garlic Jr tells them that there isn’t enough time anymore, and that everyone is doomed to abide by him for the rest of their lives. Mr Popo informs Kami of a secret passage, which takes them to the 7 winds, and if they can get the sacred water here, then it will quickly be blown all the way around the world. They nod, and set off. Mr Popo pulls out his magic carpet, and throws it onto the floor. They jump onto it, and are on their way. Garlic doesn’t want to let them go, so he tries to blast them. He misses, and hits the wall, making a huge gust of wind come in. Garlic tries again, and this time the shot is homing in towards its target. Piccolo appears though, and smacks the ball of energy away, mocking Garlic for the weak blast. Another shot comes in at him, and Piccolo easily deflects it away again. He then charges in at Garlic Jr, and the two go into a fist fight, with Garlic coming off better than the Namek. Piccolo is hit backwards, but he manages to land on his feet, with Garlic Jr out of breath. Piccolo thinks that he can win this fight.

Krillen takes on his opponent, and shows outstanding fighting prowess, blocking a series of punches, then catching the leg of his enemy. He is hit down to the floor before he can get a shot in though. He recovers, and charges at his opponent, and the two start a brawl.

Gohan takes on the strongest of the Spice Boys - their leader. The two are fairly evenly matches until the evil one gets behind Gohan, and wraps his hair round the kid’s neck. Gohan starts to go blue, gasping for breath. His arms drop by his side, as he is rendered unconscious. He manages to regain a little bit of energy though, and can open his eyes slightly. He sees Krillen getting beat up quite badly, and knows that he must help. Gohan explodes with energy, driving his opponent backwards. He then goes down to Krillen, who is on the floor. Krillen's opponent charges in at them, and Gohan blasts him with a Masenko, catching him off guard, and sending him into the wall. He is hurt badly, and unable to get up. The leader of the Spice Boys then comes towards them, and mocks Gohan, but Krillen charges in, and hits him in the stomach. While the Spice Boy is bent over in pain, Gohan goes up to him, and delivers an uppercut, which sends him right into the wall. Gohan and Krillen try to catch their breath, as they look on, watching Piccolo fight.

The Namek charges up a bit, and he and Garlic Jr exchange blasts. Piccolo uses his special beam cannon (Which he can now charge up to full power in a second) but it is dodged. Garlic Jr uses eye lasers, but none of them can hit Piccolo.

Piccolo uses his extending limb trick to chase Garlic with his arms, but he can’t catch him up. The two of them end up going back into hand-to-hand, with Piccolo becoming the obvious victor, knocking a bloody Garlic Jr down to the floor, then demanding that he gives up. Garlic Jr just laughs at him though, and staggers up to his feet. Piccolo is worried by this, and Garlic turns to face him. He tells Piccolo that the red star in the air is the source of his immense power, and with it, he is way stronger than he has ever been before.

GARLIC JR STEPS IT UP A NOTCH

He then holds out his arms, and the whole lookout starts to rock, shaking violently from side to side. Garlic Jr is surrounded in an aura of energy, and he laughs as he becomes more and more powerful. Piccolo realizes that Garlic Jr is transforming into his most powerful state, and shouts at Gohan and Krillen to get out of the place, otherwise they will be dead meat. The two run away obediently, but they can’t escape the mammoth blast that Garlic creates when he manages to fully transform into his strongest state. The blast destroys the whole place, bringing it down in ruins. Standing up through the whole thing though, was Garlic Jr. He laughs as Krillen and Gohan struggle to their feet, then Piccolo breaks out from under the heaps of ruble.

As al this has been going on, the two remaining Spice Boys had been rejuvenated by the red star, making them even more powerful than ever, and looking for revenge on the two that defeated them. Garlic advances on Piccolo in his new state, and knocks down a small pillar in one swipe. The Namek looks worried, as do Gohan and Krillen as they all create a circle, standing back-to-back, preparing to battle the oncoming group. Garlic Jr looks incredibly strong now, and the heroes look on, hoping that they can win this battle, despite the power up that every one of the enemies have received from the red star.

Before anymore fighting takes place, the two remaining Spice Boys jumps backwards, and look towards the red star. They give off cries of pain as they power up. They become totally different people appearance-wise. They are now far more muscular, and far more powerful. They look towards Gohan and Krillen, and get ready for round two of the battle.

Piccolo and Garlic Jr go at it, with neither one able to do a lot of damage to the other. They swing at each other for a while, and come to a bit of a stalemate.

Gohan and Krillen fight their opponents at a definite loss. Krillen is slammed through pillar after pillar, and Gohan tries to counter the leaders moves, but he is unsuccessful, and is easily beaten up. Krillen is getting destroyed, and has an amazingly little amount left. Gohan sees his suffering, and is very upset by it. Krillen is smacked down to the ground, and his enemy follows it through, by stamping on his chest. Krillen is stamped down into the ground, slowly losing his consciousness. Gohan tries to escape his fight to help Krillen out, but he is too busy holding off his own opponent.

Piccolo and Garlic Jr continue to go at it, with Piccolo losing out. He is knocked down to the floor, and then slammed into a pillar. It looks as though he is finished, and Garlic Jr certainly thinks so too, as he approaches the pile of rubble immersing the Namek.

Kami and Mr Popo are on their way to their destination, where the wind blows over the Earth, but they meet an unexpected obstacle. The spirit of a past guardian of the Earth. Mr Popo recognizes him as the previous guardian, who was in power before Kami. The spirit of the guardian charges at Kami, and knocks him down. The Namek gets to his feet, and is very groggy. He points out how sleepy he is, but Mr Popo tells him that he will never be able to return if he snoozes off now. Kami knows this, and manages to fight this off. The guardian shoots bals of energy at the two, but they manage to dodge it every time. Mr Popo explains to Kami how stubborn the guardian is, so Kami comes up with a plan worthy of a genius – Run. The two of them charge past the guardian, managing to outrun all of his blasts. After a short time, they run into some sort of glass wall. Mr Popo tells him that they can’t pass without the guardians permission. Kami refuses to give up now, and is blasted by some sort of electrocution attack from behind, making him fall to one knee. He knows that he mustn’t give up though, so he puts his hand on the wall, and starts to shout some sort of high pitched note, which shatters the wall. The two of them run on, but the ground disappears underneath their feet, making them fall slightly. Mr Popo manages to get out, but Kami is caught in the hold, which is sucking him in. The previous Earth’s guardian fires at Kami, but Mr Popo dives in the way. He is toasted, and Kami manages to get out of the vortex. Mr Popo tells him to go on, and they resume their running, smashing another of the glass walls as they run on.

Krillen is picked up by his enemy, and is thrown off the side of the tower. He is too badly hurt to retain his flight, so he plunges into the depths of the cloud-filled sky. Gohan elbows his opponent away, and dives towards Krillen. He is blocked by the two Spice Boys though, and he shouts out his friends name. The Spice Boys start plugging away at him, but they can’t seem to make contact. Gohan shouts out Krillen’s name a few more times, then loses control of his anger, and shoots out two Masenko’s to his sides, killing the remaining two Spice Boys. They are shocked by Gohan’s sudden power increase, as they are surrounded by the blast, eventually dying.

Garlic Jr continues to laugh, thinking that Piccolo is dead, but then the rubble starts to move. Out comes Piccolo, looking very mad. Garlic Jr is pleasantly surprised that Piccolo has been such competition for him. The Namek is angry now, and he uses a trick which gets him up to Garlic Jr’s size. He then runs at Garlic, and smashes him into a wall. He informs the evil being that he has put too much of his energy into power, and that his own speed will finish him off. Piccolo dives in, hitting Garlic Jr with all that he has got.

Meanwhile, Kami and Popo are venturing deeper and deeper into the dark passageway. Kami falls to one knee all of a sudden, and looks to be in massive pain. Mr Popo sees what’s wrong, and notices that Kami’s hand is disappearing. The same thing is happening to Piccolo, as his punch goes right through Garlic Jr. Kami then gets up, and manages to get his hand back to solid form. Piccolo resumes the beating that he was giving to Garlic Jr, but gets rooted to the spot when Kami’s legs start to disappear. Garlic Jr sees his chance, and gets off the wall, and attacks Piccolo. He gives him a beating in the short time that they are fighting, but Kami manages to use his willpower to overcome his problem, and his legs reappear, and Piccolo can move again.

Garlic Jr is putting a beating on Piccolo, but the good Namek manages to dodge a shot, and resumes roughing Garlic Jr up, now that he has movement in his legs. It seems obvious that Piccolo is far stronger than Garlic Jr. He flies above the ground and fires many energy beams at his enemy, taking a great deal out of the evil one.

Meanwhile, Gohan has given chase to Krillen’s falling body, and just about manages to catch it. He floats up, drops Krillen on the floor, and is delighted that Piccolo is ok. Piccolo waits for the smoke to clear, and Garlic Jr has gotten up, looking very weak.

Kami and Mr Popo are still running from the guardian, and they are nearing the end. Kami gets to a hole, leaps over it, but is met by a series of tentacle-like bits of spirit energy, which entwine themselves round him. His body slowly starts to fade away, starting with his legs. He struggles to get free, but it appears to be of no use.

Piccolo is affected by Kami’s loss of body, as he can’t move at all, and is thrown around the floor by Garlic Jr. The evil son of Garlic powers up an energy blast on his hand, and prepares to finish Piccolo off. Krillen tells Gohan that Piccolo is becoming weakened by all the things that have been happening to Kami, and that he needs to save him. Gohan realizes this, and he dives in, and catches Garlic Jr’s hand as he goes for a punch, then blasts it back. Garlic Jr is enraged by this, and he look on at Gohan angrily, as the kid protects Piccolo.

Kami finally escapes from the grasp of the grabbing spirits, and continues to run, the question is, will he be able to get to the winds in time? Piccolo gets his full body back, but can’t fight due to the risk of the same thing happening again, which would put him out of the battle.

Gohan prepares to battle, so he tells Garlic Jr that it is about to end, and runs in at him, clobbering him in the stomach. Gohan pulgs away, after taking Garlic by surprise, and actually harms the big guy a little. After a short while, Garlic Jr manages to recover, and swipes at the kids head. Gohan is too fast for him though, and dodges out of the way. He then jumps backwards, and runs in again, kicking the evil monster in the face, and knocking him down to the floor. Gohan thinks it’s over, but Garlic Jr gets up without much trouble. Gohan is surprised, but willing to continue. He runs straight at Garlic, and goes straight through the immortal giant, ripped a huge whole through his stomach. Garlic falls to the floor, and Gohan thinks that it’s over. Piccolo warns him that it isn’t though, so Gohan charges up a Masenko and throws it at him. There is a fairly big explosion, where Garlic Jr is on the floor, but once the smoke clears, he somehow manages to get up, making Gohan and Krillen tremble with fear. Piccolo reminds them that Garlic is immortal, and then they realize that their chance of winning are very small. Garlic Jr regenerates the wound in his stomach, then looks up to the red star (The macchio star) and his muscles increase in size. He laughs, then floats towards the shivering Gohan. The kid is too scared to fire anything at Garlic Jr, but before he can be attacked, Piccolo comes to save the day, kicking Garlic down to the ground. He charges at him to hit him again, but as he swings, his punch goes right through the monster. Kami is in trouble.

Kami and Mr Popo are fighting to stay alive in the passage that they are in, with the former guardians surrounding them, and ordering Kami to stay. There can be no more running now, and Kami tells them that he will not give up and be doomed to suffer the same fight as them. He tells them that he doesn’t want to become stubborn and evil like them, and will die if he has to in order to save the Earth. The guardians are surprised by this, and continue the punishment on him. Kami is rendering Piccolo helpless due to the beating that he is taking. Kami orders Mr Popo to take the bottle of sacred water to the end of the passage, where the winds flow. Mr Popo doesn’t want to leave his master at first, but in the end he does, very reluctantly. Mr Popo arrives at the source of the wind, and tips the bottle of sacred water over the small bottle which contains all the winds. The water tips down it, and is released underneath the tower, flowing freely across the world, and curing everyone before sunrise, meaning that the effects of the black mist are nullified. Kami continues to get destroyed by the guardians however. He is very close to death now.

Krillen charges at Garlic Jr, but is knocked right back down. Gohan then tries his luck, but he is hit into one of the few remaining pillars. It crashes down, landing on top of him. There is no sign of Gohan, and Piccolo and Krillen are on the floor, barely able to lift a finger. Garlic Jr advances on the two, laughing to himself as he does so. Garlic Jr is about to finish them both off, when Krillen comes up with a plan. He tells Piccolo to rest and regain his stregth, as Kami will be safe soon. Until then though, Krillen shall distract Garlic Jr. Piccolo agrees, then Krillen dives up, and goes back flipping towards Garlic Jr, then knocking him back with a kick, that took the big guy by surprise. Garlic Jr gets up, and taunts Krillen, but the bald headed guy isn’t intimidated. He charges up a KameHameHa, and shoots it at Garlic Jr. Before it hits the guy though, he pulls it upwards, then slams it down on his head, drilling him into ground. Smoke fills the sky, and Krillen thinks that it may finally be over, but Garlic Jr emerges from the smoke, looking fresh as ever. He advances on Krillen, and grabs him by the neck, lifting him up, and strangling him. Krillen is slowly fading away, with his eyes half shut. Piccolo wants to do something, but he is too weak. Garlic Jr continues to destroy Krillen, until Piccolo gets up, and demands that it stops. He runs at Garlic, and hammers him in the stomach, but can’t dent him. He looks at his hand, and sees that it is disappearing, because of the beating that Kami is getting. Garlic Jr capitalizes on this, and grabs the Nameks head, the begins crushing it, along with choking Krillen. The two are close to death until Gohan shouts for it to stop, temporarily distracting Garlic Jr, allowing for Piccolo and Krillen to kick him in the stomach and escape his grasp. Krillen then takes the big mans leg, and Piccolo grabs hold of his head. Garlic Jr can’t move, and Piccolo orders Gohan to fire his best shot at him. Gohan doesn’t think he can do it though, and stands there for a while. Eventually, he charges up a Masenko, but Kami is getting hurt again, meaning Piccolo’s arms disappear, and Garlic Jr escapes, then kicks Krillen off his foot, and ducks down to the floor, narrowly avoiding the blast. He is angry now, and starts to power up. Gohan goes over to his friends to help them out.

THE DEAD ZONE

Garlic Jr finishes charging up, then a huge hole is ripped through the sky, with a swirling vortex pulling everything towards it. Piccolo and Krillen recognize is straight away as being the dead zone – A portal which warps you to a small, dark container which bares no escape. It begins to suck everything in, uprooting trees, and making the rubble shoot in. The heroes stand there, having to put their all into staying on the ground. Gohan forms a KI shield around them all, to help them resist it.

Garlic Jr puts more strength into the dead zone, knowing that Gohan can’t hold it much longer. The kid continues to maintain the shield, but he knows that he can’t hold it forever. Piccolo sees the star, and realizes that Garlic Jr is getting all his power from it, so he orders Gohan to destroy it. The kid doesn’t want to though, because his friends would be suffering a high risk of plunging into the dead zone. He tells the fading Piccolo that he can’t let his friends suffer the chance of dieing, so he continues to increase the power of the shield that he has created, hoping that it will do the trick for them all. Garlic Jr laughs incessantly as the dead zone gains power, making it harder for Gohan to keep the shield up around them.

Meanwhile, underneath the battlezone, Kami is behind held in the air by energy beams directed atr him by four past guardians. He is hurting badly. Mr Popo arrives on the scene, and begs with them to stop, but they just ignore him. The pressure of the beams increase, and Kami starts to slowly fade away, making Piccolo fade away too. Large blocks fall down from the ceiling, almost crushing Mr Popo. Eventually, Kami’s assistant manages to persuade them to let his master go, and they drop him to the floor. Kami is very close to death now, and Mr Popo is trying to nurse him back to health. The past guardians of Earth shoot down one final beam, which revives Kami. They look at him menacingly, and Mr Popo says that this is the first time that they have ever let anyone live. Although Kami should feel proud, he insults the guardians instead, and they blast him through the ceiling, into the battlezone. Krillen sees Kami, and proclaims that he is back. Piccolo is standing up, and he tells them all that he knows.

Garlic Jr tries increasing the power behind the dead zone, and starts to suck them all in even further. Mr Popo and Kami hang on to a crumbled down pillar that is sticking out of the ground, hoping that they can survive this whole ordeal. As the power intensifies, as does Gohan’s shield of energy, as he has to make it more powerful to nullify the effects of the dead zone. Piccolo shouts at Gohan to blast the planet, but still the kid won’t, as he doesn’t think that Krillen can survive on his own. Piccolo sees that Kami and Mr Popo have lost their grip, and are being sucked into the dead zone, so he shoots out of the barricade, and shoulder barges the two back down to the ground, where they grab hold of something, and manage to stay there. Piccolo is now being sucked in though, and he decides not to bother resisting it, but to attack Garlic Jr instead. He charges at him, but isn’t prepared for the blast that he receives, as Garlic Jr shoots a purple ray out of his stomach, which Piccolo struggles to block. He is being sucked into the dead zone as he struggles to block the blast. Krillen sees that he is in trouble, and flies out of the shield too, shouting at Gohan to blast the star. Krillen then flies off to help Piccolo out. The Namek has managed to counter the blast with one of his own, but Garlic Jr merely catches it, then sends one of his own back, similar to the one shot out of his stomach, but shot out of his hand this time. Krillen dives in and blocks it for Piccolo, and the two of them demand that Gohan blows up the Macchio star. They are both being sucked in towards the red void that is the dead zone, and they can’t resist the pull much more. Finally, Gohan makes up his mind to help out his friends, and charges up a powerful blast, and blows up the source of Garlic Jr’s power. Space ripples because of the impact of the explosion, and Garlic Jr shrivels up into his normal form, then down into an even smaller version of himself, getting sucked into the dead zone. It finally stops, and folds up again, never to release Garlic Jr again.

Gohan screams out for Piccolo and Krillen, but can’t find them. Kami and Mr Popo emerge from under some rocks, and Gohan is delighted that they survived. He runs over, and congratulates them on managing to do so well. Krillens voice then comes, and Gohan moves off the rock he is standing on, which is then pushed up, revealing a very bruised Krillen. HE and Gohan hug each other, overjoyed at them both surviving. Piccolo’s voice then comes over from behind them, and they turn round. Sure enough, the Namekian is there, sitting on a rock, acting like his usual arrogant self. He commends Gohan on his fighting prowess, and tells him that he is a great friend. The three fly off, back to their respective lives, proud at being able to win over evil without Goku there for a change.

Gohan resumes his studying under the watchful eye of Chi-Chi, Piccolo goes back to his lonesome training and meditating deep in the abandoned plains, and the whole of Kame house are sunbathing, reading magazines, and generally having a good time.

Vegeta is still looking for Goku though, and he can almost smell him, he is that close. His venture continues, as he desperately wants to turn SSJ, and become stronger than his rival.

Buu Saga

This summary is entirely based on the manga, which was the original version, so don’t be surprised if there is the occasional shortened fight, etc.

It starts off with all the old characters being introduced, 7 years on from the Cell Game. Gohan is a lot older now, and Trunks is grown up and a Super Saiyan. A kid called Goten is there too, another Super Saiyan, this time the son of Goku. As they prepare for the martial arts tournament, they are told that Goku is entering it, being granted one day from the afterlife by Baba.

The martial arts tournament begins, and it appears that it is going to go relatively well, until the world champions daughter Videl fights a previously only average fighter with a strange ‘M’ implanted onto his head, and gets destroyed.

Gohan has this guy next, and with hatred in his heart for what he did to Videl, he charged up ready to inflict some damage, only to be tricked into going up to SSJ2. All of his energy was then sucked out of him by a weird machines carried by the people with the ‘M’s on this head. Gohan goes down, and is healed by a man called Kaioshin, one of the highest ranked Gods. Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Kaioshin, Piccolo, and later Goten and Trunks follow the weird, yet strangely powerful people who stole Gohan’s energy, and reach a spacepod owned by the evil magician Badibi.

Whilst there, they are forced to fight three people, with Vegeta easily killing the first, and Goku easily beating the second, but when Gohan fights the third, the strongest man in the evil universe – Dabura, he is slightly winning, but the devil walks off, saying that he has discovered something important for Badibi.

Dabura returns to the evil magician and says that one of them has evil in their hearts, referring to Vegeta. Badibi then agrees, and says that he can turn him into a Majin, just like the other two fighters were, making them far stronger. He says that once this is done then they will finally have enough energy to deal with Buu.

Badibi attempts to turn Vegeta into a Majin, and because of the evil in his heart it is accomplished, with Vegeta suddenly becoming evil, and baring that strange ‘M’ on his head. He and Goku go off to fight, with the Saiyan prince being ruthless, and not listening to anything that is said. Every bit of damage done to Goku is energy that Badibi can steal in order to wake up Buu from his previous eternal slumber. The two fighters are about equal for a long period of time, until they sense that Buu has finally been awakened. Goku suggests that they stop their fighting and find out what the source of the power is, with Vegeta agreeing, then attacking Goku when is guard is down and knocking him out.

Meanwhile Gohan is fighting Buu, and is destroyed, with everyone thinking he is dead, but he is later saved them bought to a planet in the afterlife for a special power up.

Trunks and Goten then arrive with Piccolo, and Vegeta knocks both of them out in one punch, then asks Piccolo to take them away, as there is something that he has to do. He has finally decided to fight for someone other than himself, and knows that he has screwed everything up, so wants to make up for it. He flies off to where Buu’s KI is, and fights him, resulting in him self-destructing, sacrificing his life to kill Buu. Unfortunately Buu manages to regenerate though, and under Badibi’s evil influence, he begins destroying everything, purely because Badibi is threatening to return him to his prison, trapped inside it forever. At this time Goku arrives after regaining consciousness, thinking that Buu has killed everyone, and powering up to super Saiyan stage 3, a form that is very tiring and uses great deal of energy. He seems to match Buu, but has a plan, teleporting off to Kami’s lookout.

Eventually, Badibi is killed by Buu, as the evil fiend gets tired of his name-calling. Mr Satan is sent to fight Buu, but of course cowers away and tries to be his friend instead, discovering that Buu isn’t really that bad, and asking him not to kill people, with the supposedly evil fiend deciding on not hurting anyone else because Mr Satan said. Satan had a dog follow him, and Buu became quite attached to it, until it was shot, along with Satan. Buu managed to heal them, but became so angry that he released a skinny, evil version of himself, which defeated him in battle and absorbed him, becoming Buu in an extremely powerful form.

Goku teaches the kids who to use fusion, but it takes them a while to master it. He is then taken back to the afterlife by Baba, because him turning SS3 used a lot of energy, cutting his time short. Whilst in the afterlife, he senses Gohan, and goes over to him, seeing that he is being powered up by a very old Kaioshin.

Buu immediately teleported to Kami’s lookout, where he challenged Goten and Trunks, who were in the room of spirit and time practicing the fusion that Goku had just taught them. Buu kills all humans on Earth with one attack, then demands that Piccolo leads him to the kids. Walking slowly, Piccolo stalls as much as possible before finally entering the room. Goten and Trunks fuse then go up to SS3, beating up Buu slightly. It ended in them losing badly though, with Buu turning everyone to chocolate and eating them, except Gotenks, and Piccolo, whom he doesn’t waste his time fighting. Just then Gohan arrives, fully powered up, and battles with Buu for a while, with an advantage. Realizing he can’t win, Buu runs off, and later comes back and absorbs Piccolo and Gotenks from behind their backs, making him stronger than Gohan.

Back in heaven, the old Kaioshin gave Goku his life, and then a pair of Potara earrings which he could use to fuse with a powerful fighter, with it ending in a permanent fusion. Goku takes them gratefully, and teleports down to help Gohan. He tosses him an earring, but Gohan misses it and it falls to the floor. Goku zooms down and retrieves it, but by that time Buu had launched another sneak attack and absorbed Gohan. Goku knew he didn’t have a chance, until he sensed Vegeta’s KI, teleporting to him. Vegeta explained that the demon lord had allowed him back for a while so he could save Earth. Goku gave him the earring, and Vegeta eventually decided to fuse, with them turning into Vegetto, and powering up to SS. After a short fight, Vegetto destroys Buu, then lets himself get absorbed in order to save everyone else. Whilst inside Buu, they cut everyone down from weird casings, and somehow unfuse. They even find the first, original Buu, and cut him down. Buu’s body went through a strange change, and Vegeta and Goku quickly left with everyone except for the original Buu, waiting for the change to happen, and with it eventually leading to Buu to turn into his ultimate form, a small evil, destructive fiend, who doesn’t even have control over his evil self.

Buu immediately blows up the Earth, with Goku only managing to save himself, Vegeta, Satan, and Dende by teleporting away to the old Kaioshin’s planet in the afterlife. Buu soon follows, and Vegeta and Goku decide to finish it, with Goku going first, and powering up to SS3 straight away. He fights with Buu and they are about equal, but Goku can’t finish him off. He then tells Vegeta that he needs to get to full power to win, so Vegeta turns SS and fights Buu, getting pulverised. Goku’s plan doesn’t work though, and instead of gaining energy, he loses it, and is stuck in his normal form, leaving Vegeta on the floor hurt badly, and him vulnerable.

Satan throws a stone at Buu, but it only makes the evil one try and attack him but fail. He then spits out the original Buu, allowing him to attack Satan. The original Buu, we’ll call him fat Buu, then sees his friend hurt, and attacks Buu. They fight with an obvious winner.

Vegeta gets in contact with the Nameks, and gets them to wish for the Earth, and all good people on it to be restored. The third wish is left for the time being. Vegeta then contacted everyone on Earth via King Kai, and asked them to hold their arms in the air to help Goku draw power, but they wouldn’t do it. Goku then realizes the plan, and begins preparing a Spirit Bomb. Goku then tries asking them, but it doesn’t work. Hearing what is going on, Mr Satan appeals to them, and of course they all oblige. Goku then gains enough energy, and throws it at Buu. He doesn’t have enough power left to finish it off though, until Vegeta asks that they wish for the Saiyans power to be restored, allowing him to finish Buu off.

A few years pass, and it’s the martial arts tournament. Fat Buu and Satan are good friends, and Goku is expecting someone to be there with power that rivals his own. The announcers says that Uubu is next, and Goku asks fat Buu to make him face him. The Boudoukai starts, and Pan (Goku’s grandchild) manages to beat a huge, muscular guy. Goku then faces his opponent, and realizes he is a great fighter, and that he is a good incarnation of Buu in his ultimate form. He then flies off with him to give him some training so they can fight properly. Vegeta watches them leave, annoyed that he didn’t get his fight with Goku.

And so Dragonball Z ends – Krillen got his girl #18 they had a daughter called Marron, Videl and Gohan married and had a daughter called Pan, and everyone lived happily ever after.
