DRAGONBALL Z
And so a new saga begins…


An alien arrives and frightens a farmer, the farmer then shoots him. The alien catches the bullet in his fist. Who is this alien, non other than goku’s brother,Raditz.
Gokou and Gohan(Gokou's son), are on their way to Master Roshi's for a reunion. As they go there they reminisce about past times and it switches to Piccolo on a ledge. A man comes by while Piccolo is training. He is Raditzu, and he is Gokou's brother. He has come to check on Gokou nad is angry that Kakarotto, Gokou's saiyan name, has not finished what he had been sent to do. Exterminate all lifeforms on the planet Earth. Piccolo is angry and gets ready to fightr raditzu, who is at about 1000 more levels higher than he is. Tehn raditzu is aboout to kill Piccolo, but senses Gokou somewhere else. He arrives at Master roshi's island where he recognizes Gokou. He tells gokou that he is a saiyan, nad his mission is to destroy all life on the planets he is sent ot and sell them to Planet Brokers. Gokou tells Raditzu that he is an earthling, and then Raditzu notices Gokou does not have a tail. this ticks Raditzu off that a saiyan would give up their transforming power to live on such a weak planet. He takes Gohasn and Gohan sries since he's ,only 4 yrs. old. He warns Gokou that if he dosen't exterminate 100 earthlings by tommorow he would ever give Gohan back. He flies away to a barren area where he landed and killed a farmer, and shuts the "cry-baby"raditzu's name for Gohan into his space pod.

Back at Master roshi's Gokou is going to go fight Raditzu. Piccolo then arrives saying he heard everything and doaen't want Raditzu interfereing with HIS plans. SO they agree on the treaty nad head to where they sense Raditzu. Raditzu, meanwhile can't understand why his Scouter(A communicater and power-level reader ) is reading Gohan's power level at 710!! Then he senses something else. A power level of 310 and one of 330. It's Piccolo and Gokou! They arrive and Raditzu warns them that his power level is 1200 nad that he will exterminate them easily. Then Piccolo and Gokou take off their extra weighted clothing that brings Piccolo's PL up to 440 and Gokou's up to 510!! Then Gokou and Raditzu start bickering. Piccolo notices this is a trick to get Gokou mad. Raditzu teleports behind them both and elbows them in the head. They get up and charge Raditzu. He blocks every singlke punch or kick that they throw. Gokou jumps back for a rest. He asks where Gohan is. Raditzu replies'The little brat is in my pod." Raditzu then takes tyhem both by surprise, fliews up in the air and launches a Double Hands Beam at both of them. Gokou manages to dodge it but Piccolo dosen't. His left arm gets caught in the blast and is incinerated. Piccolo says their only last hope is Piccolo's special attack he's been working on to kill Gokou. He'll need 5 minutes so gokou raises his power level to 924 and flies up to do his famous Kamehameha Wave. As he launches it, raditzu smiles, sticks a hand in front of him, and erases the whole attack before it hits hiom with a Beam of his own. He yells SHIRE (DIE in japanese) and hits Gokou on a bullseye. gokou drops, limpless. Then Raditzu notices he forgot someone. Good old piccolo! Piccolo's PL is at exactly 1330!!! Raditzu is nervous, and then Piccolo lets it ri with a big smirk on his face. He pulls out his remaining arm and yells "Makkankosappo!"(It's easy to pronounce:Mack-can-coh-sap-po) Which means Screw Beam of the Devil. A giagantic explosion occurs and Raditzu's armor is all scorched and cracks. He's REEL mad. He tells Piccolo to say his prayers, when suddenly, Gokou grabs Raditzu's tail!! If you didn't konw, that is a saiyan's only weakness. Anyway, Piccolo tells Gokou to hold him for another 5 minutes while he powers up for another Makkankosappo. raditzu, as tricky as he is, pleads to Gokou that he will leave and never come back if Gokou lets go of his tail. Yeah, and pigs can fly. WAit-they can. Oops...well, Piccolo is on to Raditzu's scheme and knows how gullible Gokou is. He yells, "SON GOKOU, NOO!"

In a minute Raditzu is on top of Gokou, stepping on his ribs. Piccolo is stunned but keeps charging. Is that their only hope??NO WAY!!! We forgot about Gohan! Gohan is in the ship crying. Then he hears Gokou screaming in pain. "Say your prayers, Kakarotto!!!" Raditzu yells and is about to crush Gokou when suddenly Gohan busts out of the pod with a power level of 1307! He's floating in the air, tears streaming down his cheeks. He screams "GET OFF MY DADDY.....NOWWWWW!!" HE headbutts Raditzu in the chest, cracking his armor to bits. Raditzu falls back from Gokou. Gokou can't believe what he just saw. Gokou then tells Gohan to run away. Gohan dosen't want to. Raditzu finally recovers, only to find Gokou getting a firm hold on his tail. Piccolo charges up to a PL of 1330 and pionts his fingers at Raditzu's chest. Gokou will need to hold Raditzu for this trick to work. Piccolo is rather happy. Both will die and he will gain control of the world. Piccolo yells "makkankosappo!" and that is the end of them both. Piccolo walks over to Raditzu. Raditzu laughs and says, "I got my wish , Kakarotto is dead." Piccolo laughs and says that Gokou will be back in about a week of Earth Time. Raditzu is EXTREMELY mad. Piccolo explains about the dragonballs, but has fallen into another one of Raditzu's traps. Raditzu then tells Piccolo thast his Scouter is also a communicater and the other 2 saiyans had heard it alll and will come for the dragonbvalls in a year. Raditzu laughs. "they'll be here for those balls. ANd the funny thing is, they're much stronger than I. They will arrive in one year. SO suffer, Spanky!" Piccolo roars and imediantly fries Raditzu's body. "Dang him..." Piccolo says and sees the Airbus come down next to Gokou. Buruma, Kulilin, and Roshi all see Gokou, and before he dies he says"take care of Chi-Chi and Gohan for me..wish me back as soon as possi---" Then the greatest warrior dies. Piccolo walks over to Gohan. "C'mon, kid." he says. "We need to train you. The siyans are coming and they are going to fight us. C'mon..." then Kulilin rushes over to Piccolo, being the loser he is, and yells"HEY! Don't gobble him up!!!" Piccolo looks at Kulilin. Then Piccolo's face twists, and he regrows his arm. "I'm going to train him for the saiyans. Get out of my face." Master Roshi says" You'll have to ask the boy's mother." Then cool Piccolo says "I'M NOT ASKING 'M TELLING!!!!!" They run into the airbus and fly away. Meanwhile, at the Great King Yemma's, Gokou appears in front of King Yemma's desk. King Yemma tells Gokou that he will go to heaven but then Kami appears in front of King Yemma. "King," he says. "Wouldn'ty it be smarter to have Gokou challenge Snake Way??" King Yemma thinks about this and then asks one of ihs soldiers to eescort Gokou to Snake Way. Gokou talks a bit and then runs along the trail to the end of Sanke Way..where Kaiosamma lives. Then we are taken to the wilderness on Mt. Puauzo where Gokou lived as a boy. Piccolo is trying to tell Gohan he has many powers. Gohan is just crying. Piccolo tells him that he wil need to ssurvive the dangerous wilderness of Mt.puazo if he wants to fight the saiyans.

The first problem that happens during Gohan's trianing is the metamorphosis that saiyans undergo. Gohan is being chased by a wild dinosaur when suddenly he finds himself ontop of a cliff. He wonders how he got up here, and it is soon night. He has an immense appetite like his father and is hungry. Piccolo is high above him watching him in the sky. Gohan then finds two apples beside him. He eats them and curls up on the cliff. Then he looks at the moon.....and transforms. Meanwhile, Piccolo is training with a double of himself, and says he needs to go check on the kid. He does, and WHOAH!! Gohan nearly kills Piccolo, but Piccolo finally finds out that they need the moon to transform to Oozaru form, the were-monkey. He destroys the moon, and Gohan reverts. Piccolo pops off Gohan's tail and turns it into a gi and a samurai's sword.

the next event in Gohan's trianing is next morning when he tries to find a suitable cave to sleep in. He finds a dinosaur in his cave!!! He notices that the dinosaur is injured. Using a healing method Gokou taught him, he heals the dinosaur, oly to have it eaten later, as much as Gohan treies to help it from the T-Rex's jaws. Although while Gohan explores somemore, he discovers a robot left in a cave. The cave starts to collapse, so the robot sacrifices itself to save Gohan. Gohan then decides he is hungry asnd chases the T_Rex, gradually cuttring its tail into steak-like pieces.Gohan calls this "Tail Steak."

Now we finally see another pic of the two saiyans that are coming to Earth, Vegeta and Nappa. they stop at planet Arlia, where the inhabitants there are ugly insects called "Bugroms". vegeta and Nappa purposely let them selves be captured and taken to jail . They are to be executeds in front of the evil king who stole a girl from the real prince. Vegeta and Nappa easily trash all the Arlian soldiers and the mechanical robot, and then kill then kill the king. Teh real prince and the princess are finally reunited. Happy Ending. Yeah, right. Vegeta wouldn't do THAT. As the saiyans are leaving, verybody is cheering for them. As they fly off, VEegeta powers up his Gamit Gun, anad planet destroying laser beam, and blows Arlia to bits.

We finally get a real story on what Gokou's been up to on Snake Way. He is jumping across, and suddenly he misses the bridge and falls down through the yellow clouds into the Home For Infinite LOsers.(In the Japanese version they call it Hell.)There are 2 ogres there-Goz and Mez. They will only let Gokou back onto Snake Way if he wins a competition against them. They play Jan-Ken-Pon(Japanese Paper, Scissors, Rock) to see who tests Gokou first. Goz gets Pon and Mez gets Jan. SO, Goz goes up to Gokou. He chaleengews Gokoou to a wrestling match. Whoever leaves the circle first wins, (ala Tenkahachi Budokai Tournament.) Goz rushes Gokou and gets him in a bear hug. Gokou throws Goz in the air. Goz falls down right in fornt of the ddisqualification line. Gokou moves his hands to and from Goz real fast and creates a whirlwind that blows Goz out of the ring. Ya!Gokou doews his famous peace sign. GOz shows Gokou his machine, a catapult. Goz puts Gokou on one end and Goz jumps from a cliff to the other. Gokou is sprung up in the air towards the clouds...BAM! He smacks right into the metal-hard clouds. Goz comments that Gokou's head is too soft to break through the clouds. Gokou, still falling, does a Kamehameha boost and springs back up, but slams agian into the clouds. Gokou thinks he is stuck forever when Mez tells Gokou he knows of a secret passsage way to Snake Way. But, Gokou wil have3 to beat Mez in a race. Gokou says no problem he is trhe astes prerson on Earth. Mez tells this isn't Eath and he's faster. Gokou asks what are those fruits in the trees. He says he is real hugry and wants one. Mez tells him that those are only for King Kai. So they star tthe race. Mez cheats repeaditely through it, but Gokou manages to beat him. At the end Gokou speeds ahead and sneaks some fruit from the tree, and starts up the secret passage. He finds himself wandering up a flight of stairs, finds a door, opens it, and sees King Yemma up above him! He freaks out and gets back on Snake Way to start again. Since he ate the fruit though. his speed is doubled and he is full for 3 months.

Meanwhile, above Karin Tower, Yajirobe, Chaiozu, Tienshinhan, Kulilin, and Yamucha gather atop to recieve training from Kami, guardian of the Earth, and his assistant djinn Mr.Popo. Kami gives them a brief summary of what they will be doing, and they begin.

Then you see Gohan sleeping in a cave. He wakes up and walks outside to see a Full Moon. (Yes, his tail grew back.) He transforms to Oozaru and starts destroying things. Piccolo is busy Split Form Fighting, i.e. he splits into 2 bodies and spars.(He really gets the best of himself here! Ha, ha-ok, no more jokes) He looks down at the "moon", thinking he destroyed it, and realizes it's just a hologram!! He flies around and looks for something, and finds it--Gokou's saiyan space capsule!!! It has activated itself and is emitting light!! He quickly destroys it and destroys Gohan's tail again.

Now back to Gokou's extended quest to Kaiosamma's. He sees a gaint palace-aha, he thinks. Kaiosamma's!! He walks in and sees snake-like women and he asks if Kaiosamma lives here. They look at him and says that this is Princess Snake's Palace. But, Gokou picks this time to be stubborn like he was a child and dosen't register that this is NOT Kaiosamma's! Princess Snake walks in with a mink fur on and Gokou tells her that he has come to train under her. Sanke laughs and directs Gokou to tango. (Boy, does he act up now!) Gokou flips her onto the ground. "Great training method, Kaiosamma!" he says. "You wanted me to surprise attack you!" The snake ladies get angry and clearly state that this PRINCESS SNAKE'S, not KAIOSAMMA'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gokou then gets it and Sanke assks(get it, snake=asp, ask,? Fine, fine I'll quit my jokes.) if he will stay for dinner. Gokou then notices how long it has been since he has eaten and agrees. He eats a lot, and Snake directs him to stay in the Royal Hot Springs. He goes in and relaxes, then Princess Snake comes and says it is time to-----Gokou says he better get going- but Sanke tells him that they have to do the Magic Dance.(Snake's objective is to capture him and eat him)She's just trying to stall him. He gets ready, while Snake pours some Sleepy Grass( enough to knock out an elephant) in a glass of juice. Gokou comes in, drinks the juice, and falls asleep. WHile he's catching Z's, Snake positions the Dream Mirror on him and sees Chi-Chi and Gohan in a dream. She gets angry that he is married and forms into her true self, a gigantic snake!!! Gokou wakes up and sees he is in the sky, and taht the palace was all an illusion, and SNake starts chasing him. He powers up for a Kamehameha and is about to shoot it, then remembers that she gave him the nice dinner, and can't hurt her.(REAL nice...SHEESH!!) She is coming up to eat him, but then he dives right beside her. She comes down to get him, but he grabs her tai land ties her in a knot. He flies away and eventually ends back up on Snake Way.

Now Gohan is back in the wilderness and decides that it is time to escape from Mt.Puazuo. He builds a raft and starts off on the ocean. Everything's going fine...but then he is caught in monstrous maelstrom and is shipwrecked onto the other side of Mt.Puazuo. He meets some orphans, including their leader, a fairly strong teen named Pigaro. He meets them and eventually finds out that men from the orphange come every morning to try and take them away. Gohan and Pigaro keep watch one night, and the next morning they arrive. Gohan pulls out his sword and puts up a pretty good fight, but eventually one pulls out a gun and Gohan and Pigaro are cornered. Then Pigaro yells "RUNNNN!" and he grabs Gohan. They leave the other kids to be caught, and Pigaro helps Gohan get away in a floating capsule car. Gohan asks Pigaro why he abandoned all the other kids. Pigaro explains that they would have a better life there, and Pigaro couldn't let Gohan get caught. He leaves Gohan off at the foot of Mt.Puazuo and drives off. Piccolo is perched in a tree. He looks at Gohan and says, "Gohan, what is your misson??" "To protect the EARTH!!" Gohan yells.

We are back to Karin Tower as Kami introduces the team to a room thast can transport them to the past where they can fight a real battle with real saiyans. Yajirobe then states he would rather eat rice balls than fight,(Geez, he really has changed from DB) So the 4 others step on the platform......and find themselves on a strange, devastated planet. Chaiozu thinks he hears something, but the group keeps on going. Then Chaiozu sees a tall saiyan and a short saiyan through a hole, and they jump out for a surprise attack. Thinking he can defend the team, Chaiozu flies after them, only to be trashed by one and shot down into an immense pit. Tien, Yamucha and Kulilin see that, and Yamucha quickly fires some lasers, but they are too weak. Kulilin gets ready for a Destructo Disc, but he gets a direct hit in the face and falls down with Chaiozu. Tien and Yamucha use their Multi-Form techniques, but the saiyans are out of sight before the duo notices. The saiyans watch Tien and Yamucha from afar, but are surprised when Kulilin drop kicks the tall one!! The short one goes to Tien and Yamucha, while the other one is busy with Kulilin, and destroys Tien with a gigantic beam blast. Then Yamucha, enraged, is about to engage with the short one but the tall one surprises Yamucha from the dirt and tosses Kulilin's dead ody across the pile. Now, Tien, Kulilin, and Chaiozu are gone. The saiyans laugh, and both fire at Yamucha......

The four step out of the platform and can't believethey are in such good shape. Mr.Popo explains that it was just a simulation, and that their mortal bodies had been here the whole time. They all cheer and step out into the light.

Gokou finds himself at the end tail of the Snake Way. HE sees Kaiosennin's planetoid above him, and flies up to the top, and is crushed to the ground. He sees an ape coming up to him, doing the "raise the roof" gesture and looks at Gokou. Gokou, again being his dense self, thinks that this monkey, (really Kaiosennin's assisstant monkey Bubbles) is Kaiosennin!!!!

He tells Bubbles that he is Gokou, coming to train as a disciple. Bubbles just screeches and Kaiosennin comes out. There is some dialouge about the planet, just put in to enlarge the episode, and then Kaiosennin tells Gokou that he will have to pass three trials to be able to learn the art of Kaioh-Ken, one that not even Kaiosennin had mastered.

Gokou's first trial--Make Kaiosennin laugh:

Kaiosennin starts a comedy act for Gokou in the beginning. (It's really sad:They're even worse than the ones I made up) Gokou just stands there through the whole thing until Kaiosennin tells him he won't train anyone without a sense of humor. He makes Gokou tell a joke. Gokou almost ends up karate chopping Kaiosennin at the punchline of one of his jokes, and they're so pathetic that Kaiosennin breaks up laughing.

Meanwhile, Piccolo is sparring with Gohan. Gohan gets repeadately crushed, and by nighttime he is real bruised up. He then tries to invite Piccolo to his birthday party, but that's a whole 'nuther thing and we won't get into that.

Gokou's second trial--Catch Bubbles:

Kaiosennin gets ready to fight Gokou, but Gokou notices he won't fight well because he's starving. King Kai makes some rice, noodles, dim sum, and a whole bunch of platters and Gokou eats them all. Gokou is finally ready to get serious. Kaiosennin takes him outside and shows him to Bubbles, the monkey. He tells Gokou that this will increase his speed. When they start running, Bubbles actually makes Gokou look SLOW. Gokou, even with his weighted clothing on, cannot catch that monkey! Gokou then figures that since the gravity is so heavy, Kaiosennin's planet must be rather small. He starts to run in the opposite direction, and runs right into Bubbles and catches him!!

Gokou's third trial--Hit Gregory with the sledge:

With Bubbles captured, Gokou finally tells Kaiosennin why he had requested training(the saiyans Vegita and Nappa) and Kaiosennin senses that the saiyans will arrive on the planet in 60 days. He calls for a small grasshopper, Gregory, says some puns, and tells Gokou that this will improve his strength, when he gives Gokou a gigantic sledge. Gokou takes the sledge, aims and Gregory blitzes him and flies in a round, the way Bubbles had, and a chase ensuses. Gokou isn't doing very good, and has smashed up Kaiosennin's Sedan. Gokou again notices he is starving so Kaiosennin takes a break. During the lunch, Kaiosennin tells Gokou about the Saiyans and the Tuffles, the two races who had lived on the Planet Vegita long before Gokou (or the prince Vegita, named after the planet) was born. The Tuffles were a very high tech civilization, completely different from the Saiyans, a ruthless low tech race. (Oh by the way, if you're a long-time fan of DBZ, Bardock is not mentioned in this.) Then one night, there was a Full Moon, an event that only happens once every 1000 years. All the saiyans transformed into Oozarus, and started trashing the Tuffles' cities. The Tuffles only had one chance left. The few survivors got into a secret rocket, that supposedly had the highest flight speed ever in history, and flew away from Planet Vegita, never to come back. Years later, the planet was somehow destroyed. The only survivors were- Prince Vegita, his partner Nappa, Raditzu, and a little baby who was sent off to Earth just before the destruction.

Gokou then is ready to go, after indulging himself again. So he goes off with Gregory to start again.

Meanwhile, at the floating top of Karin Tower, the 5 warriors are finally done with their training, and are told that the saiyans are to arrive very soon. So Yamucha, Chaiozu, Tienshinhan, Kulilin, and Yajirobe go to the battlefield.

Then we are back at the pot-hole filled planet of Kaiosennin's. Gokou remembers his strategy that he used with Bubbles, and tosses his sledge in front of him. He runs the other way, catches it, and appears right in Gregory's path. He taps Gregory on the head and Kaiosennin declares Gokou's final test.

Gokou's last trial: The Genki Dama

(Again, if you are a long-time fan of DBZ, then you will recognize the Genki Dama as the "Spirit Bomb" I prefer the Japanese storyline, so just go with it.) Kaiosennin explains to Gokou that the Genki Dama is a massive Energy Bomb that combines all the energy of the planet with Chi.(If you don't get this it's OK) So Gokou summons up energy and Kaiosennin throws a brick at him. Gokou throws the Genki Dama and the brick explodes. He has mastered the last skill.(A little note: Gokou's strength, speed, and chi power have increased tremendously over the year) Now Gokou is ready for the Kaioh-Ken technique. The trials are now over, it is time to learn Kaioh-Ken. Over the next month, he learns it.(The show never explains how) and it is finally time to go and face the coming of Vegita and Nappa. It is now the day. Then Kaiosennin remembers something. He had not calculated the time it would take Gokou to go back across Snake Way!! Gokou then freaks out, because it took him half a year to get across the first time!!! But Kaiosenin reassures him that since he has trained in the art of Kaioh-Ken, his speed has increased double the amount it did when training with Bubbles!!!! It should take him at the most about 2 days to get back to King Yemma's Palace, which means he will 2 days late for the battle!!! There is no time to lose, and in a flash of light, Gokou zooms back on to Snake Way and heads home.

We then see our friends Master Roshi, Buruma, Oolong, Puar, and Tortoise at the Kame House. The timer has gone off and it is time for them to summon the eternal dragon and wish Gokou back to life.(He has to make it to King Yemma's first, though.) After some confusion, the wish is made----right when the saiyans arrive in the market district of Hong Kong. They trash the market, and then relocate to where the 2 highest power levels are, Piccolo and Gohan with their scouters, and arrive to the immense jungle, and the clearing where the battle begins--without Gokou.

Meanwhile,Yajirobe sneaks off to the Market Disrict and finds the Police Department investigating the wreckage. He reveals himself as the trainer of Gokou, and Earth's Special Forces who will save Earth from the Saiyans.(TCH! YEAH RIGHT!!!) At first the Police are skeptical, but then they believe him and take him to lunch to have him talk.

Back at the battlefield, Piccolo realizes that there are not 2 but 3 IMMENSE powers coming toward them!!! He then thinks that a third saiyan has come with Vegita and Nappa!!! A figure appears in the sky and lowers down. It's Kulilin, nad he is there to tell them that Master Roshi has wished Gokou back to life with the Dragonballs and he is on his way..or so they think. Gohan and Kulilin start to talk(Gohan adn Kulilin become great partners later in the series.) but are interrupted when Vegita and Nappa appear on the scene. Piccolo says something to Gohan, and Vegita recognizes his voice as the one that told Raditzu about the Draonballs. He informs Piccolo that he is from the planet Namek. Piccolo never knew this, since he had spawned from Piccolo-Daimao(See Dragonball Full Summary Year 4) and had no memeory of any other planets besides Earth. Kami then gives us some meaningless talk about how the Dragonballs were made, since every namek is born with the ability, and why Kami had the natural instinct to make some on Earth when he become Guardian Of The Earth. He makes it much longer and boring, though. The saiyans then remove their scouters and Nappa pulls out a small capsule from his armor pocket . Inside are 5 small green seeds. He plants them in the ground, and suddnely 5 acid-head green monsters sprout from the ground. At first the 6 monsters dance around, but then they attack Piccolo, Kulilin, and Gohan. They're fended off, and Vegita announces that they're Saibamen, and each are teh same power level as Raditzu!!!!! Just in the nick of time Tienshinhan, Chaiozu, and Yamucha arrive on the scene, which makes it 6 against 6. After some more meaningless talking, (It happens alot) Tienshinhan volunteers to go first against one. Some cameramen come and try to catch it on TV, but I'll only tell this once, beacuse they keep coming and Nappa keeps destroying them. Anyway, Tienshinhan and the Saibaman get poised, and then it switches to Yajirobe stuffing his face at a resturant and telling about how great he did training Gokou and the others.(It's going to really annoy you how he does this while everyone else are getting their butts kicked.)

Now back to the battlefield as the Saibaman and Tienshinhan kickoff the battle VS the saiyans. Tienshinhan is pretty much a good match for the Saibaman, even with its power level at 1200. Eventually the Saibaman is knocked down. Nappa seems surprised at this, but Vegita, the cool and calm guy he is, just laughs and destroys the carcass with a beam. Now, the TV station act smart. They are staying in a remote area away from the battlefield and shooting the news. Anyway, that's probably the last time I'm giong to mention those idiots. Yajirobe is STILL eating, and Buruma and the rest of the team at the Kame House are having to watch it on TV while they standby for the battle. Then Ox-King arrives, with Chi-Chi. They tell her that Gohan is in battle, and she faints. (This is just the first time)

Back at the fight, Vegita declares a free-for-all, but Kulilin then decides tha te wil go next. THEN, Yamucha decides HE will go. (Too much deciding for a battle, eh??) He tells Kulilin he's been meaning to try out his new skills. So, he gets poised. Yamucha dances around with the Saibaman, and then finally puts an end to the game and fires a laser ball at the Saibaman, sending it toasted in a crater. Yamucha's all heated up now, and declares that he'll take on the other 4, too. Then the unexpected happens. The Saibaman jumps out from the crater and grabs on to Yamucha as a green glow emits from its body then.......BOOM!!!!!! That's it for Yamucha..he's in the other dimension.

Now we're back at the Kame House. (Oh, GREAT, this'll be fun) Puar and Buruma just watch the TV screen with their eyes wide. Now Puar faints, and Buruma gets mad and runs off sobbing. Now back to the battle!!!! Kulilin is already pumping up for an attack, and lets loose the rage. A gigantic laser stream is unleashed, and fries all 4 of the remaining Saibamen. (They should've thought of THAT before) Anyway, the fog clears out and there are the 2 saiyans, standing there laughing., leaving the Z warriors standing there gaping. Now the fun really starts!!

Piccolo starts with a surprise attack, but he's kicked aside by Nappa and Nappa starts to power up.(Oh, and by the way, Gokou is just passing Princess Snake's Palace on Snake Way.)After firing a laser at everyone, he flies up in the aair. Kulilin, having succesfully avoided the attack, runs over to try and help Tienshinhan, who seems to have lost an arm!!! He catches Nappa's eye and just misses falling down a gigantic pit Nappa creates with an explosion. Adrenalin rushing yet? Nappa, who has seemes to pick Tienshinhan as his first target, bombardes him with missles and watches Tienshinhan stagger in agony. Careless loser....Chaiozu flies onto Nappa's back, trying to pull Nappa into an alter dmension.(Chaiozu, if you didn't know, has the ability to swap dimensions.) So he hangs onto Nappa's back and tries to power up---it's kinda hard when you've being crushed into mountains. So then Chaiozu finishes his attack, sort of like a Kamikaze. The fog clears and...there's Nappa..UNSCATHED!!!!! Now this really ticks Tienshinhan off. (REALLY, since's he's supposed to be CHaiozu's bodyguard, AND that Chaiozu had already been wished back once!!!! Tienshinhan flies off to Nappa and they start to engage in some fast, furious, hand to hand combat. Tienshinhan's doing really bad, though, but he's enduring it real good--even with an arm missing. So anyway, Piccolo tells Kulilin to come with him and attack Nappa while Nappa's busy with Tienshinahn. Then he tells Gohan to give Nappa a good laser beating when he comes flying over. So they engage the plan. Kulilin and Piccolo really surprise Nappa, even enough that he's stunned and heading Gohan's way. But, Gohan remembers how Tienshinhan's arm was chopped, and how Chaiozu had failed, so he runs, and Nappa lands in the ground, enraged. Tien is down. (Not dead, just near-fatal. Piccolo tells Kulilin to use the Multi-Form technique Kami taught them to hold off Nappa. (Piccolo's really disgusted with Gohan now, but knows that was only a natural instinct) So Piccolo and Kulilin use the Multi-Form technique on Nappa, but they aren't doing too good. Then Tien gets up. (W.O.W) He is on the verge of death and uses all the power he has left before he dies. For the third time, the fog clears, and Nappa emerges, all scarred, and his armor in shambles. But he just gloats,"I GUESS THE ONE ARMMED MAN JUST FLEW THE COOP!!" Piccolo and Kulilin decide to finish this on the ground, since they're not doing too good in the air. Then Nappa starts glowing, and charges downward toward them. Suddenly, to Vegita's command, he stops in mid-air. Vegita has hears the Z warriors talking about Gokou, and has figured it out that's he's also Kakarotto. He tells Nappa to wait 3 hrs., he wants to see if Gokou is really going to show. So the Z warriors regroup, and ponder where Gokou is.(They talk alot, but it's just the same old justice lectures again.) Meanwhile, Nappa seems to be bored doing nothing. With the scouter, he senses the TV crew and decides to do a little target practice,(It shows 5 minutes f Nappa destroying naval fleets.)knocking out our friends at the Kame House's source of watching the progression, so they're left in the dark. (Oh, and Gokou is now about 10 miles away from King Yemma's)Back at the field, time's up as Nappa finishes wiping out most of the east side of the city and returns to the battlefield. Obviously Kakarotto has not shown up, adn Nappa is ready to finish them off. Meanwhile, Piccolo makes anothewr plan, this time Kulilin will attack Nappa head-on, while Piccolo will quickly grab Nappa's tail(Like Gokou did with Raditzu) and then Gohan and Kulilin will finish Nappa off. (Naapa's armor is gone and he's badly bruised.)

Suddenly, Gokou jumps off of Snake Way and enters King Yemma's Palace. He sees Kami there. Kami intructs Gokou to grab his arm adn Gokou is transported to the top of Karin Tower. He flips off the edge, catches a Senzu Bean from Karin(In the midsection of the tower) and calls Kintoen to get to the field.

At the field, Kulilin runs toward Nappa, springs off his feet, and powers up for a beam as Piccolo appears behind Nappa and grabs his tail. Gohan runs toward Nappa, working up a Kamehameha, and then----suddenly Nappa slams his fist down on Piccolo's head, and Piccolo is unconsious. Gohan stops, as does Kulilin, stunned as Vegita explains that he and Nappa had out grown that weakness as they achieved Elite First Class High Saiyan. The plan had failed again.

Back at the Kame House, Chi-Chi has obviously woken up, for she comes down the stairsin heavy artillery with an Uzi. She explains she is going to save Gohan. Ox-King stops her as Oolong bangs the TV, trying to fix the snow on the screen.(Duh--the cameramen are toasted) Buruma gets steamed and they al start bickering.

Nappa walks up to Gohan and starts gloating again about how hard it is to be a role model for "young punks" like Gohan. He smashes Gohan against a rock structure and turns around--just in time to see Kulilin drop kick him in the face. Kulilin gets poised for his famous attack---The "Destructo Disc" and launches it at Nappa. Nappa thinks he cancatch it and would have gotten diced if Vegita wouldn't have yelled "DUUUUCK!!" out real loud, and watches as the Disc slams into a very large cliff, slicing it in half. Now Nappa is ticked to the max. That would've been his end!! He fries Kulilin and is about to finish him off, but then Piccolo launches a laser at Nappa 's back. Nappa yells at Piccolo for attacking him from behind(it's considered a very low strategy in fighting) and then Piccolo claims he thought that was Nappa's face. (Good one!!) Nappa powers up and----suddenly a gigantic stream of power surges through the area. Could it be?? Vegita puts on his scouter. "It reads Kakarottoat 5000!!!" Vegat yells. He quickly orders Nappa to finish off the remaining three as quickly as possible--they could cause trouble when Kakarotto arrives. Nappa questions Vegita. If he kills Piccolo, then what about the dragonballs?? Vegita tells Nappa that he has figured out that since Piccolo is from Namek, there must be other nameks living there---which means more Dragonballs!!! Nappa laughs. "You're toast." he chuckles at Piccolo. Nappa charges Gohan, but is sidekicked in the head by him. He flies into a cliff, totally destroying it. Nappa is really mad, REALLY REALLY REALLY INSANELY HORRIBLY MAD!!! That was the second strongest attack that came in touch with him!! (Tienshinhan was the first) He powers up for an evil sort-of Genki Dama and launches it on Gohan. This attack could just about destroy Gohan for good. Then comes Piccolo. He rushes in front of Gohan and---takes the blow. Piccolo's body is destroyed, and now Piccolo's gone. So is Kami..and the Dragonballs!!!!! Gohan is so, so,so,so ,so ,so,so SO SO SOOOOOO mad!!!!!! Piccolo was Gohan's best friend. He trained Gohan, and everything!! Gohan powers up to 3000, and unleashes a gigantic Missle Barrage on Nappa. But Nappa diverts it, leaving his arm numb, and he fries Gohan. He goes up to him, is about o smash him, when suddenly ZOOOOOOOOM!!! Gohan is gone...he reappears.......on KINTOUN!!! That means that..YES...a figure comes down from the sky.....finally..............

GOKOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the people at the Kame House(who are watching the fight on Baba's crystal ball) wake up and are cheering loudly for Gokou.

Gokou goes over to Kulilin and Gohan and feeds each of them a Senzu Bean, then walks over to Nappa. Vegita's scouter reads Gokou's power level at 9000, but Nappa says it's broken and gloats to Gokou about how he beat up all the others easily. Then Gokou charges Nappa in the stomach, stands on his head, punches him again, then they're hand to hand, but Nappa never touches Gokou, and gets busted to the air.

Ok, now the real battle starts. This isn't even funny!! Nappa dosen't even TOUCH Gokou! So, Nappa dives down at Gokou from the sky and is kicked into a stone structure. He manages to get out and blows and Inner Bomb, where chi energy is discharged from his body, and everything is destroyed except Gokou.

Meanwhile, at the Kame House, Buruma gets angry and throws the Crystal Ball around the house. Baba yells at her and Roshi trys to break them uo, but he ends up getting crushed by them. At the battlefield, Nappa is summoning all the energy he has left and coming for Gokou. He and Gokou duke it out, and then Nappa discharges all that leftover energy to Gokou, but he dosen't even scratch him. Vegita yells at Nappa, "You weakling!!!!! Get down here!1 So far you haven't landed a single punch on Kakarotto. I think you've disgraced us long enough!!!!

" Nappa agrees with Vegita to come down, and he decides to go after Kuliin and Gohan for fun. That makes Gokou VERY angry. Gokou yells out, for the first of many times, "KAIOH-KEN!!!!" and speeds down to Nappa, breaks Nappa's back, lifts him up and slams him over to Vegita. Now, Nappa is out of power, his lkeft arm's numb, he has bruises all over his body, his back is broken, and he was just hit by a veyr powerful Kaioh-Ken. Nappa asks Vegita to help him up, (Kulilin and Gohan are amazed that Gokou knew such a powerful move and defeated Nappa so easily.) so Vegita does--into the sky!!!! So Nappa's sailing, and Vegita's powering up. He sends about 1/128th of his Chi and blasts Nappa into the other dimension. Now it is time for Gokou to go fight Vegita.

Gokou tells Gohan and Kulilin to head back to the Kame House, for Gokou thinks he can take on Vegita himself. Kulilin tells Gokou that if Nappa was SCARED of Vegita, then Gokou will need all the help he can get. Gokou claims he can beat Vegita, so Kulilin and Gohan fly back to the Kame House and Gokou and Vegita fly to another desert island to have the ultimate battle of 2 saiyans.

Vegita tries to tell Gokou that he is no match, but Gokou believes in himself to much to listen. Gokou and Vegita go hand to hand at first, and you could tell niether of them are having a good time. Then Vegita knees Gokou in the chin, and Gokou falls back to a cliff. He yells"KAIOH_KEN!!!" and starts beating up on Vegita. (Kaioh-Ken means=Kaioh-Super Ken=man, so Gokou in Japanese is yelling Super-Man. By doubling it you could double your already doubled strength) Then Vegita is gone. Gokou looks for him, and then is kicked in the head by Vegita. He falls back down again, and Vegita is already mad.

Back at the Kame House, all's not well. The crystal bal is broken and the only other form to tell them what is happening is the scouter that Buruma found from the battle with Raditzu. So, Buruma turns it on nad she can see two immense power levels. Chi-Chi cries when she only hears two, so Buruma tries to figure it out.

Back at the field, a familiar face pops up from behind a boulder. It's Yajirobe, and when he sees Vegita he runs. Vegita is gloating about how Kakarotto has lost his Saiyan tail, and Vegita will destroy Kakarotto so that he will not give Saiyans a bad name. So Gokou yells a "KAIOH-KEN X2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and he flies up in the air, but Vegeta launches a Laser Ball at gokou, and he's damaged in the side and the attack's done.

In the sky, Gohan feels a surge of power. "Dad's in trouble!!" he says to kulilin and start to fly to the island.

Meanwhile, Gokou decides it is time to use a Kaioh-Ken X3 attack. He powers it up, adn gives Vegita another good beating, until Vegita massively powers up his own body and launches a Laser Barrage at Gokou, and Vegita's hit with recoil. Since Gokou's in Kaioh-Ken form(he's all red around him)he can easily dodge the attacks and smashes vegita again. Now Vegita's a ticked off saiyan. Gokou gets a few other good hits in, but then Vegta backflips him and Gokou's back to normal and they're both laying on the ground. Now Vegita and Gokou are both in terrible shape. Then Vegita has an idea. He decides that it will be too much trouble to try and destroy Kakarotto by himself, so he decides to use his Gyarrikku-Hou to destroy the Earth itself!!!(Note:Long time fans of DBZ will recognize this as thew Gallet Gun. Again, I am staying with the original Japanese version, so go with it)Gokou knows this will be trouble, so he goes for another Kaioh-Ken X3. He then uses a Kamehameha against Vegita, and they are both struggling with their own bean=ms, interlocking.

Back at the Kame House, the scouter is busted and ther Crystal Ball shatters. Now the Z team have no sense of communication and they figure out that Gokou is in trouble.

At the field, Gokou looks like he's losing so he powers up for a Kaioh-Ken X4!!! He then blasts not only the Gyarrikku-Hou away, but Vegita goes with it. At that very moment Yajirobe comes out of hiding and explains to Gokou how he was cheering him on from the boulders. He tells Gokou that he's glad Vegita is finally gone. Then Gokou explains to Yajirobe that Vegita isn't dead yet, and so Yajirobe speeds back to behind the boulder, as Vegita comes crashing down from the sky.

Vegita manages to get up, and tells Gokou that his own fathe, Bardock, invented a weapon long ago, calles a False Moon, since Full Moons only happen on Planet Vegita once per year. So he powers up Gokou's father's own attack, and throws it into the air, adn Vegita starts to transform.(Note: when any saiyan transforms, their power level doubles and any damage as a human is lost. So, now Vegita is full again and ready to rock Gokou. When a saiyan reverts, though, he keeps all damage sustained as an Oozaru and any power loss.)

Gokou is getting crushed by the super-powerful Vegita and he decides to try another Kaoh-Ken X3. He goes for it, but then he's swiped aside by Vegita's fist.

As Kulilin and Gohan approach the field, they see the immense light, and Gohan can feel that his dad is in trouble. Gokou then tries to do his new Genki Dama. He needs some time to work it up, so he casts a Solar Flare and temporarily blinds Vegita. he flies to the other side of the site and it takes him about 5 minutes to build it up. Vegita has regained his sight,m and is flying towards Gokou. Kulilin adn Gohan are almost there, and then a gigantic eruption of white light flashes everywhere. Vegita has somehow survived the attack and has redirected the Genki Dama to Gokou!!!! Vegita slams his fist on Gokou's body, dropping him to the ground. Now Vegita gloats, and gets ready to smash gokou for good. With his last ounce of energy, gokou fires a Burning Laser straight at Vegita's left pupil, so Vegita's eye is burnt out. Gokou tries to jumpo away, but Vegita catches him and starts to squeeze him. Then, Gohan and Kulilin appear on the scene and land besides Yajirobe. Kulilin thinks of a plan to try and cut off Vegita's tail. He tells Gohan to run off and distract Vegita while Gohan and Yajirobe distract him, and they start off---all except for yajirobe. He acts even more cowardly than Oolong and throws a Hoi Poi capsule, gets in his car, and drives off. So now Gohan is in front of Vegita and Kulilin is behind, with a Desatructo Disc. Gohan yells at Vegita, and then Kulilin launches the disc. Vegita somehow, manages to jump OVER the disc and it flies away, slicing the cliff Gohan is standing on in half. Now Vegita has them all right where he wants them. Then---suddenly Yajirobe flies out of nowhere and, with his samurai sword, manages to cut off Vegita's tail!! Vegita reverts(he still is missing an eye) and he flies up to Gohan, and knees him in the stomach. Gohan can't get back up, and Vegita tosses him next to Gokou. tehn he sidekicks kulilin into a hole in a mountain. Gohan and Gokou start to talk, but tehn Vegita breaks it up and slams Gokou in the chest. Gohan suprises Vegita from behind, and they'e up in the air, fighting. Kulilin takes advantage of this moment and walks over ot Gokou. Gokou tells Kulilin that he has some energy left, but Kulilin will need to use all of his to make it work. Gokou passes soem energy to Kulilin, and Kulilin uses all of his energy to prouce a Genki Dama!! Gokou tells Kulilin that this will be the last chance they have to save the Earth.

Midsection Review--
Vegita--Half energy left
Gokou-no energy left
Kulilin-no energy left
Gohan-little bit left
(Yajirobe has no energy, mind you)

So, Gohan and Vegita are really hurting each other. Then Vegita uses a bunch of energy for a big Laser Ball and fires it at Gohan, but he misses. Then Gohan fires about five Kamehamehas in a row at Vegita, but they all miss too. Now Vegita is pounding Gohan to a pulp. Kulilin stands there, with the Genki Dama, and realizes that he holds the sake of all teh people of Earth in his hands.(No pressure, huh??!!!)He then sees Gohan kick Vegita in the face, and Kulilin lets it rip!!! Vegitaturns around and sees the Genki Dama flyiong towards him and thinks fast. He throws Gohan's limp body in front of him ,thinking that will stop it. But, since Gohan is pure of heart, it passes right through him, collecting the rest of his energy, and makes a direct hit on vegita, and the saiyan is totally devastated and is sent flying in the air.

Back at the Kame House, (AGAIN) Rosh is trying to glue the crystal ball back together with Turbo Glue. Then somene appears in the doorway--Karin!! He auggests that thye use the Airbus to get to the site adn observe the fight, so Buruma, Roshi, Chi-Chi and Karin fly to the battle.

Meanwhile, the 4 remaining Z wariors lay near each other, all trying desperatley to stay alive. Then, Vegita uses all of his remaining energy touses his remaining energy to use an Inner Bomb adn blasts Kulilin and Gohan badly. He is about to dispose of Gohan when he sees something coming out of Gohan--A TAIL!!!!! Vegita tries desperately to rip Gohan's tail off, but then he is surprised when Yajiorobe slashes him in the back with his sword and then laughs. Vegita is angry since his armor is ruined and his back is hurting, so he really knocks Yajirobe up. Gohan gets up, and sees the False Moon in the sky. Then.....HE TRANSFORMS!!!!! Now he is destroying everyone---on both sides!!! Kulilin tries to call Gohan over to get Vegita, but Gohan is in an insane rage!!!! Vegita tries to use a sort-of Destructo Disc like attack on Gohan, and he hits the tail, and Gohan is starting to fall, and revert.(His tail won't grow back EVER!!) But, Vegita is in the way and ends up getting crusheds into the ground by Gohan.

(Note:At this point everyone has drained up all their Chi) Then, as his last move, Vegita pulls out a sort of comm link from his suit and presses a few buttons. A Saiyan Space Pod flies down from the sky and Vegita climb up to it. Kulilin falls down from a cliff ands land snext to Yajirobe, unconscious. Kulilin grabs the sword and walks over to Vegita. He knows what to do with it. He's about to slash Vegita with it, but then Gokou yells, "NO!!" Kulilin stops, but asks Gokou what's so imortant. Gokou tells Kulilin that he admires Vegita's super strength, and that he dosen't want to sink down to Vegita's level. Since Kulilin is loyal to Gokou though, although it was definitley against his will, Kulilin drops the swords and watches Vegita fly off into the atmosphere. Then, suddenly another spacecraft comes down. Why would Vegita come back...?

Suddenly Master Roshi sticks his head out. "AHOY!!" he yells, and they proceed to help the 4 warriors back into the craft. The Z warriors are brought to the West Side City Hospital to recuperate. Gokou carries on like a baby when the doctors are inspecting him, though and it really freaks out Gohan and Kulilin that the great Gokou is scared of the doctor's!!! So, they are all done, and Gokou is in some strange machine, all bandaged up, and the doctor tells Gohan and Kulilin that they have no serious injuries, and that they will be better in no time, although Gokou will be in there for about year.(Gokou NEVER gets to have adventureslike he used to!!!!) So, they're all sitting andm talking until Buruma arrives with a comm link, telling them that this was found on the site and that it goes to Nappa's pod!! But they say what use is that, and how are they going to get any Dragonballs to wish Piccolo and the others!! Then Kaiosamma contacts Gokou, and he asks Kaiosennin where Namek is. (Kulilin had told them about what Vegita had said.) Kaiosamma tells them the coodinates, and Buruma goes nuts!! (It must be bad in Dragonball Tech Lingo) She says on a normal spaceship it would take them 1000 years to get there!! Not even Kaiosamma has the answer to this one. Then Buruma remembers the Comm Link! She uickly presses some buttons, and they see the News caster on TV. Tehre is Nappa's pod in the back! Buruma finishes with the buttons and the pod flies off...then comes back down and explodes!!! Buruma had pressed the wrong combination!!! So they the are, Gokou, Kulilin, Gohan, Yajirobe, Karin, Chi-Chi, Master Roshi, and Buruma, all without a clue what to do next. Then, suddenly Mr.Popo appears in the window. He tells the gang that he had found a ship at Yunzabit Heights and wanted someone who might know how to operate it to coem with him and see if it will do. Kaiosamma's story of Namek reminded Mr.Popo of the namekina ship that Piccolo-Daimao had came in long ago. So, since Buruma is the technical genius, she walks out the window skeptically onto the magic carpet and Mr. Popo takes her to Yunzabit Heights.

They arrive at Yunzabit Heights, and they climb a cliff to see amassive spacecraft that's overgrown and cracked. Mr. Popo tells Buruma that the ship opewrates with the word "Piccolo" for it means anothewr world in Namekian. So Mr.Popo says the word adn the ship opens. They walk inside and Buruma tries to operate it, but it can only be operated by Namekina. After some rages from Buruma, Mr.Popo finally says "Dirregaloff" and ship lifts off the ground at a massive speed, and a few seconds later they are a Jupiter!! (Boy, what Nasa wouldn't do for a craft like that!!!!) Mr.Popo helps Buruma land the ship at her house, and her father does some work. They stop by the hospital, and right as Buruma is about to announce that she and Mr.Popo will be going to Namek, Mr.popo declares that he can't go, on the account that someone needs to be here to watch over Earth. Buruma gets angry, and forces Kulilin to come with her. Tehn Gohan gets up and says he'll go. Chi-Chi reassures him that he has too much "schoolwork" (who cares about school when you're super-strong??)to go on a trip, but when Gokou says it's a great idea Chi-Chi gets angry and storms off.

Later, at the Kame House, Buruam is dressed i na big yellow-orange space suit and Kulilin has a Tenhanchi Budokai hat on with a jacket and sweats. They are waiting for Gohan, who arrives in a tux wiht his hair matted down, piled with gel. (He looks really funny in the show) So they exchange their goodbyes,(Chi-Chi is sobbing as usual) Buruma says "Piccolo" and they are off in the ship, heading to Namek, by the coordinates from Kaiosamma. Buruma automatically starts the ride , and the suitcases burst everywhere, and Buruma claims she got impaled by a hairbrush. (Kulilin says, "not mine!" (Get it??) Later, Buruma is sleeping and Gohan shows Kulilin the new outfit he made over the months,(it has been about 3 months since their fist visit to the hospital.) and puts it on. He looks like a pint-size Piccolo!!

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Master Roshi is chowing down on Buyabuns, whiler Gokou is doing sit-ups!!(he's covered in bandages except for his face) The nurse comes in and tells gokou to get back in the rejuvenator, and takes away the Buyabuns from Roshi. (she says he should be on a diet) The doctor tells him that there will be not saiyan training while Gokou is in his care.

Back on the ship, Kulilin and Gohan are Spirit Fighting (they are virtually fighting inside their minds) until the radar tells them that about 1000 fighter ships are heading their way!! Buruma fires the laser cannon and they destroy them all, but then they see a ship exactly like theirs!! They are about to crash into it when they realize it's a mirror coating of a ship, and soo nthey are in the dock!! They get out of their ship, and walk down a dark corridor. THey find themselves in a big dome, adn there is dinner all set up for them!! They are about to eat, when a knife is suddenly fired from teh bowl of fruit and into the wall. It hits a switch and the pillar behind Buruma falls, Buruma is caught by a crane and carried up to the top row of the ship, the table is destroyed, teh floor pops up, and people come out to the dome from every directions---armed!!!!! One man steps out from ther crowd, and calls Kulilin, Gohan, and buruma followers of the Emporer Freeza. Our trio has no idea what they're talking about, but they bicker some more about what side they're on until a siren is heard, and there is mass confusion. Kulilin adn Gohan fly up to Buruma, and strat to run. they are stopped when the ship is engulfed i nflames and the cieling starts falling.(This is the 2nd floor, so thaat's not the REAL celing) Kulilin's helping people escape from the falling tiles, Gohan's putting the fire out, and Buruma runs to the cockpit, and she realizes that t he ship is flying through and asteriod field, so Buruma pushes the man out of the cockpit and directs the ship through.

After everything is under control, the people finally figure out that the Z team is not with Freeza, and they tell what happened to the team. "They came in great numbers, in the name of Freeza, qand destroyed all our cities so that the planet would be his to rule. They really out numbered us, so there was only one thing left to do: RUN. The engineers developed a mirror-like coating for our spacecraft, so that we would not be bothered by any travelers. Those fighters you destroyed earlier were really small balls with a 3-D holgram projection around them, so they were easy to defeat. The followers of Freeza would never help us, so I guess you were right all along." The man leads them to the dock, unlocks their ship, say their goodbyes, and they're off!!!!

Meanwhile, at Planet Freeza, two gurads clad in saiyan armor see a pod coming into radar. They think it is Freeza, but he had just left for the planet Namek. Then, when the pod comes closer, they realize it's Vegeta, and he's hooked up to the rejuvenator!! Vegeta lands and they hook him up to the Medical Regenerator. He then vows revenge on Gokou and the others, adn is very confindent since every time a saiyan goes through a near-death experience, his strength doubles!!!!

Buruma and the others have finally reached Planet Namek. They land the ship, and Buruma is about to pull out the Dragon Radar but before she knows it, the ship tilts and they fall off an immense cliff!!

The trio wake up facing to green men who look vaguely similar ot Piccolo. They tell the three that they are on Planet Namek, and it has just been exactly one year since the last wish was made! They are Raiichi and Zaakro, the two eldest namekians! They take the Z warriors to their ship, and they fly to a big lake. Gohan, Kulilin and Raiichi swim and swim, and they finally manage t oget a Dragonball. The next task brings them to a cave with strange heiroglyhics on the wall of wierd pink monsters. They enter a tomb room ,and Buruma finds the 2nd star ball inside one. They enter the ship again and land near a forest. This time, they have company. A gigantic T-rex(Torimaya must have had a passion for dinos) and it pursues them back to hte ship. Even when they get in it, it's just levelk with its head. Finally the dinosaur seems to have dissapeared. They look out a window and see a bubbling swamp,m with the bones of the dino burning in it. Raiichi explains to them that that swamp is made of pure acid adn will burn anything in it. Buruma tells him that somehow there's a Dragonball in there!! He says he has a Jerainium Suit in the back, but it will only last for about 10 secondsand then poof! Gohan sayas he'll try it, but it will really be taking a chance. Then Raiichi tells them that they could tie a Jerainum Rope to teh suit, and jank him back up when it's been 10 minutes. So Gohan gets into the suit, and he dives in. He can see the ball, adn he grabs it. He yanks the rope, then notices that it's been disintegrated!! He knows that it's time up when his suit starts melting, so he works up a Kamehameha to blast back up to the surface. They cheer adn fly to a big barren desert. They get out of teh ship, and Buruma's radar tells them that there's a Dragonball here, but it's coming toward them!! Kulilin asks how this is possible, and he gets his answer when hurricane comes spinning to them!! Buruam and Raiichi run, and Kulilin aznd Gohan figure out that they need to retrieve the ball with out destroying it, so they can't use any Chi. Gohan flies up to the top, and he dives into the eye. He grabs the ball, but then notices that the pressure is pulling him to the botom. He easily uses a Kamehameha to destroy the hurricane and regroup with the others.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Gokou has escaped from the hospital, and is back in his Kaiosamma uniform ready to continue training.

The Dragonball gang has found themselves trailing through a suspisious looking forest with giant ferns everywhere. Suddenly the ground starts to shake, and htey are lifted high into eh air!!! They realize that those trees are wings and they were walking on a flock of gigantic birds!!!!! They can see a castle coming up on the horizon, and Raiichi says that they can make it if the jump from here, so they go for it and land on the roof. they climb down and look in the window. They can see a gigantic ogre inside on a bed, snoring loudly. They climb inside adn fianlly notice that the Dragonball is on the ogre's earring!! Buruma gets Raiichi, Kulilin, and Gohan to yank off the ball, and they suceed. Then, the ogre wakes up. Buruma runs to a toy plane and tries to get it working. Kulilin fires a Destructo Disc at the ogre adn slices half of the ogre's midsection off, but then it still moves. Gohan fires a Kamehameha at its head and blows off its left side of its face, but it continues to chase them!! They jump into a plane and fly out the window.

Meanwhile, at Planet Freeza, Vegita has finally finished recovering and steps out of the regenerator.

On Namek, Kulilin and Gohan are thawing a ball out from a icy wall, when Buruma notices that Raiichi has somehow dissapeared. She is about to go look for him ,but suddenly the floor cavews in and they're riding on a glacier down an icy slope, and Kulilin has to use a Kamehameha a few time sto knock them away from the wall. Trouble really starts when they find out that there is an enourmous snowball behind them, and it's gaining speed!

Back on Planet Freeza, Vegita puts on new suit of armor, and makes the doctor tell him where Freeza is. He tells Vegita that Freeza's on Namek, adn Vegita tells the doctor that that's where he's going. (Evidently he has something against Freeza)

On Earth, (man, we're just skipping around planets here)Gokou is busy bustin' up some pyramids, when he feels a jolt of pian and is knocked unconscious.

Back to Namek, the Z gang are still being pursued by the snowball. Then, Kulilin notices the stalactites on teh cieling and thinks they will be a good dtopper for the snowball. He knocks them down wit ha laser, and tehe snowball runs over them. Now it's a snowball with SPIKES. They fly through a hole and are outta the cave.

Back on Earth, Chi-Chi and Master Roshi are in the Airbus looking for Gokou, adn they finally locate him down limp on teh ground, adn proceed to pick him up.

The Z gang are still wthout Raiichi OR Zaakro, but they are walking through another jungle. They come to a hill, adn then they see a stone temple in the middle of a lake. Gohan leads thew way, but suddenly he's suspended in the air, frozen. Kulilin is following him adn turns around, to see Buruma being held captive by Raiichi and Zaakro!!!

On Planet Freeza, Vegita marches down the hallway to the dock,but he's stopped by Cui. Cui asks Vegita where's he's going, and Vegita tells him he's going to kill Freeza. Cui tells Vegita he's insane, and that Freeza's main goal at Namek is to make a wish of eternal life. VEgita, who wants the balls to wish for immortality, gets even MORE bent on killing Freeza, (Three reasons:1)He's someone more powerful than Vegita, 2)He wants the Dragonballs also, and 3)He's a suspect for destroying Planet Vegita.) Vegita races to the pod with his scouter and sets off for Namek.

At the supposed Namek, the aliens Raiichi and Zaakro reveal themselves to be the ones drawn on the cave walls, the pinkish demons!! They explain(as the planet is reverted back to its real state: a barren, disgusting, crater-filled planet, adn teh dragonballs turn to their real form-rocks)that they crash-landed on the plant many long years ago, and their ship was destroyed. They are masters of illusion and telepathy, so they read the Z warriors' minds, asdn then created an illusion-based world about the quest. Gohan is now in the tentacles of a half-snail half jellyfish giant creature. They're REALLY in a pickle!!

Freeza-at Namek collecting the Dragonballs.

At the fake Namek, Raiichi and Zaakro tell the unfortunate trio that the Stellar Winds, gigantic deadly hurricanes, are coming to the planet, so it was lucky that they arrived. So with that, thewy leave for the ship, as Buruma hides behind a boulder watching them trry to figure out the code o open the ship. Raiichi tries "PICKLE-COVERED CHEESEBURGERS!!!" but nothing happens. Then they see Buruma, adn make her tell them tyhe passcode.

Meanwhile, Gohan and Kulilin have taught the creatures a lesson about trying to eat human beings, and they race off to the crater where the ship is.

Buruma tells them the word "Piccolo," and the laughing aliens start up to inside the ship. Suddenly a voice yells out "PICCOLO!!" again, and they come back down. Goha nand Kulilin jump down from the mountain, and give Raiichi and Zaakro a good beating. Thye get in the ship, and manage to escape the hideous planet right before the Stellar Winds destroy it. A long while later they soar through the sky, and suddenly they see a lush, green planet. It can only be Namek. They land down the ship and FINALLY, they're on the real Namek. But no sooner do they step out do they see a saiayn space pod fly across the sky. They all get worried, talk for a while about useless topics, and then Buruma checks her radar. There a dragonballs everywhere!! Buruma contacts Master Roshi on the Space Phone, and she tells him to inform Gokou that Vegita is here and they despretly need his help!!(it has now been about 11 months since they had left Earth, with being stoped in their travels with other things, being in suspended animation at the barren planet's hut, and about a month it took them to get from there to Namek.)

Meanwhile, Vegita steps out of his pod and checks the scouter for Freeza. He then finds out that not only is Freeza there, but so are his henchmen, Zarboni and Dodoria!!!
