Here I'll write summuries of each saga of DragonBallZ.

Seven years have passed since the end of the Dragonball series, and Goku has settled down after he and Chichi have their first child, Gohan. All is peaceful until Goku's evil brother, Raditz, lands on the Earth. He tells Goku that he belongs to an alien race known as the Saiya-jin, and that he was supposed to exterminate all life on the planet so that it could be sold to the highest bidder. However, since Goku hit his head as a kid, he forgot his orders and became a peace-loving child. Raditz offered Goku to join him in conquering the universe, but of course he was turned down. Angered that he would not do his bidding, Raditz kidnaps Gohan.

Obviously overpowered, Goku teams up with his arch-rival Piccolo to get his son back. Both attacking at the same time, Goku and Piccolo are still no match for the battle-hardened Raditz. Piccolo tells Goku of a new attack he has been working on, one that should be able to defeat Raditz. However, it takes a long time to charge up, so Goku has to face Raditz alone for five minutes. Goku puts up a good fight, but gets socked around quite a bit. Piccolo fires his Special beam canon attack while Raditz is busy with Goku, but he misses. Gohan, enraged by the pain being done to his father, attacks Raditz and greatly weakens him. Goku manages to get Raditz in a hold, and tells Piccolo to charge his attack again. Piccolo fires his Special beam canon a second time, hitting both Raditz and Goku. They both die in a matter of minutes.

Before dying, Raditz is told about the Dragon balls and their power to grant any wish. He signals the other two Saiya-jins, Nappa and Vegeta, to come to Earth so that they may take the dragonballs for themselves. The journey to Earth takes one year, giving the Earthlings little time to prepare. Meanwhile in heaven, Goku begins his voyage to the Kaio of the North in hopes of growing more powerful for the coming evil. Kaio-sama's planetoid exists at the end of a ten-thousand mile long snake path.

Months have passed on the Snake Way, and Goku has yet to find Kaio-sama's home. Offered a ride by a passing demon, Goku falls fast asleep. Unfortunately, a bump in the path sends Goku flying off the machine and into Hell. When Goku wakes up, he is confused to find two demons looking over him. They tell him that he has fallen off Snake Way, and that the only way out was to beat them in a contest. Goku easily wins both times, and is shown the exit to Hell. He is surprised to find that the exit is merely King Yemma's droor, and that he has to start his journey all over again.

Meanwhile, Piccolo begins to teach Gohan how to survive on his own in the wilderness while still training on his own. He gives Goku's son little help in his battle against dinosaurs and the elements. Yet Gohan is not to be under-estimated, and he does quite well on his own. When Piccolo feels he is ready, he begins a rigorous training routine that leaves Gohan beaten to a pulp. Slowly but surely, Gohan's power is tapped into.

Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chaotzu, and Yajirobe head off to Kami-sama's tower to train for the arrival of the Saiya-jins. Their various methods prove to be effective, and they manage to each raise their power levels over a thousand.

When Goku finally reaches Kaio-sama, he undertakes a series of training exercises that seem trivial and pointless to Goku (Not only that, but he has to withstand Kaio's lame humor). His first task is to catch Kaio's pet monkey Bubbles, who is used to the high gravity of the planet. Goku finds that it's quite a chore to chase after something in 10x gravity, but eventually he grows used to the heavy force. Through the use of some clever tricks, Goku captures the monkey. Goku's second task involves hitting Gregory, a flying cricket creature, with a heavy mallet. Nearly destroying the planetoid in the process, Goku manages to complete the second part of his training with ease. It's at this time that Kaio finally teaches our hero some techniques: The Spirit bomb and Kaio-ken power-up. With only a few days before the Saiya-jins are supposed to arrive, Goku has to make the trip along Snake Way in the opposite direction. Luckily, his training had improved his speed and power exponentially.

A year has passed, and the Saiya-jins land in a heavily populated city. After destroying it, they head to battle Piccolo and the others. Assessing their opponents, Vegeta notices that one of the warriors(Piccolo) is an alien known as a Namek. The Saiya-jins unleash six Saibamen, each roughly as powerful as Raditz was. Vegeta suggests that the Earthlings fight the Saibamen one on one, and they agree. Tien is the first to go, and makes short work of the first Saibaman. Yamcha goes next, and appears to be winning until his opponent grabs hold of him and self-destructs (Killing both). Growing bored with the situation, Vegeta has all the Saibamen attack at once. The small green aliens prove to be no match for the seasoned Z warriors. With their minions gone, Nappa joins into the fray. Our heros are unable to land many hits, and take a lot of damage. Both Tien and Chaotzu sacrifice their lives trying to defeat the muscular Saiya-jin, but neither succeed.

Krillin tells Vegeta to wait for Goku to arrive, as then they would have a fighting chance. They wait for three hours, but no Goku. The battle resumes, when finally Goku gets back to Earth. Seeing that Goku might be a problem, Vegeta orders Nappa to kill the others before Goku arrives. The large brute decides to go after Gohan first, and charges a powerful attack. However, Piccolo had grown to love Gohan over the year he had spent training him, and the Namek put himself in the way of Nappa's attack. Krillin and Gohan are the only survivors when Goku finally joins the battle. Angered by the death of his friends, Goku maintains his cool and staies calm battling Nappa. Vegeta's bodyguard is unable to land any blows, and the Saiya-jin prince takes Nappa out himself.

Goku and Vegeta square off, beginning their long duel. While Goku manages to hurt Vegeta badly, his repeated use of the Kaio-ken technique puts a great strain on his body. Seeing that he was overpowered, Vegeta transforms himself into an Oozaru. Goku is chased around by the giant ape, and with the use of a Taiyoken for distraction, he is able to gather a Spirit bomb. Unfortunately, Vegeta recovers before the attack can be launched, and most of the energy is lost. He grabs onto Goku and breaks every bone in his body, but neglects to notice Yajirobe sneaking up behind him. With one swipe, Vegeta's tail is severed by Yajirobe's sword.

Back in his original form, Vegeta begins to do battle with Gohan. Meanwhile, Goku summons Krillin and gives him the remnants of the Spirit bomb he had gathered. Just when it looks as if Gohan will be defeated, Krillion launches the ball at Vegeta. He evades it, but Gohan bounces the attack and hits Vegeta from the rear.

Vegeta comes back down from the blast mad as a hornet beats up Krillin & Gohan.Gohan's tail grows back & Vegeta is about to kill Gohan when Yajirobe slashes his back & weakens Vegeta.Goku uses a telepatheck link between him & Gohan telling Gohan to look at the light in the sky & Gohan starts to transform after Vegeta takes Yajirobe out in one kick. Gohan beats up Vegeta sevearly & Gohan turns human again.Vegeta sends for his ship & leaves planet earth to recooperate.

With Piccolo, Chaotzu, Tien, and Yamcha dead, Bulma, Gohan and Krillin begin a journey to Namek to find the Dragonballs and wish their friends back. (Goku is too injured at this time to go himself) They fly their way towards Namek, meeting shape shifting creatures, mirror ships, and other hazards. Vegeta during this time returns to Freeza's base and rejuvinates himself back to full health, and zips his way towards Namek to use the Dragon Balls to wish for immortality. Krillin,Gohan & Bulma finally reach the Namek, only to find that Freeza has already collected five of the seven balls. At this time Goku has recovered, and he uses a special ship that is capable of raising gravity up to 100x Earth's. His power increases exponentially under the intense force. Seeing that he is obviously overpowered by Freeza and his men, Krillin goes to the Eldest Namek, Guru, for assistance. Guru awakens Krillin's hidden power, and gives him the Dragonball that he had created. He warns Krillin that once he dies the Dragonballs will disappear, and that his time was near.

In the mean time,Vegeta has collected a ball himself, and he hides it so that it is out of harm's way. He then battles Zarbon, who almost destroys him. Freeza has Vegeta rejuvinated so that he could reveal the location of the other two Dragonballs. He manages to escape and steal the five balls that Freeza has collected. Greatly angered, Freeza sends Zarbon to find Vegeta and bring back the Dragon Balls. Both Vegeta and Zarbon spot Krillin returning with Guru's ball, and take up chase. Zarbon and Vegeta battle once again, this time Vegeta coming out as the victor. Krillin gives up the ball without a fight, as he knows he does not stand a chance against the more powerful Saiya-jin. Thinking he has all seven balls, Vegeta goes to fetch the one he hid. However, Gohan manages to find the last one, and returns to Krillin and Bulma with the ball in his hands.

Freeza, now extremely angry that he does not have the balls in his possesion, orders that the Ginyu Force be summoned. Krillin and Gohan zoom towards Guru, leaving the ball in the care of Bulma, so that Gohan's powers could be awakened. Vegeta, finding out that Gohan has the last ball & takes off in pursuit of him. Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta all reach Guru's house at about the same time, although Gohan has a good enough lead so that he could get the power-up from Guru. Sensing that the Ginyu force had landed, Vegeta manages to make a pact with Gohan and Krillin. All three race to Bulma's hiding place to retrieve the last dragonball, afterwards they rush to where the other five were hidden. Unfortunately, the Ginyu force beats them to the spot, and they use their superior powers to get the other two balls from Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta. Captain Ginyu returns the dragonballs to Freeza.

The rest of the Ginyu force use a "sophisticated" game to find out who will fight first. (Rock, paper, scissors ext.) It is determined that Guldo will be the first to go, and he faces off against Krillin and Gohan. By freezing time and using other various tricks, Guldo gets the upper hand on the fight. At the last moment, however, Vegeta sends a blast of energy and decapitates Guldo. During this time, the Dragonballs reach Freeza. He is unable to summon the dragon, and races to Guru's house to find out what the magic words are. Ginyu guards the Dragonballs, which are buried next to Freeza's ship. Rekoom is the next to do battle, and beats Vegeta to a bloody pulp. Krillin is taken out with a kick in the head, leaving only Gohan to fight. Gohan manages to do some damage to Rekoom, but he gets roughed up as well.

Just as things are looking their worst, Goku finally arrives in his ship. He gives Senzu beans to Krillin, Gohan, and Vegeta, and knocks out Rekoom in one punch. Jease and Burter begin to attack Goku, but they prove no match for him. Burter is knocked out as well, and Jease flys to Captain Ginyu to get help. Ginyu arrives on the scene, but he is also overpowered by Goku. In the meantime, Vegeta abandons the fight to find the Dragonballs. Krillin and Gohan also depart for the same destination, hoping they will beat Vegeta to them. Seeing that he will be defeated, Ginyu switches bodies with Goku. Ginyu uses his new body to return to Freeza's ship. Now in the damaged, less powerful body of Ginyu, Goku chases the rest as fast as he can. Vegeta reaches the ship first, but is unable to locate the Dragonballs. Figuring that Gohan and Krillin would use the Dragonball scouter to locate them, he hides and waits. At this time Guru senses Freeza's approach, and sends Dende to tell Krillion and Gohan the words needed to summon the Dragon. Freeza arrives at Guru's house, but as expected they refuse to tell him the magic words. Nail, Guru's bodyguard, faces off against Freeza. Even though he is currently the most powerful of the Nameks, Freeza easily defeats him with one hand. Nail tells Freeza that Dende knows the words, and that he was just stalling for time. Freeza races back to his ship, neglecting to kill off Nail.

Krillin and Gohan use the scouter to find where the Dragonballs are buried, but they are also unable to summon the Dragon. Ginyu gets to the ship, still in Goku's body, followed by the real Goku. Goku tells Krillin and Gohan what happened, and they attack Ginyu. Still not used to his new body, Ginyu has a tough time with the earthlings. Vegeta joins in and badly messes up Ginyu. (and Goku's body) Once again outmatched, Ginyu tries his change trick again, this time on Vegeta. However, Goku flies into the beam and is restored to his old body. Ginyu tries again to get Vegeta's body, but Goku throws a frog into the beam. Ginyu becomes trapped in the body of a frog.

Vegeta offers to help Goku, who's body is now badly damaged. Goku is placed in a Rejuvination pod, which can restore him to full health in 60 minutes. Tired from his countless battles on Namek, Vegeta takes a short nap. During Vegeta's sleep Krillin and Gohan meet up with Dende. Dende summons the dragon, and their first wish is to bring Piccolo back to life. Their second wish is to warp Piccolo to Namek so that he could assist in the battle. At this time Vegeta wakes up, and he realizes that they had summoned the dragon without him. He rushes over and demands they grant him immortality, but just before the words could be uttered, the Guru dies. The dragonballs lose their power, and Vegeta's wish is not granted. Just when Vegeta thinks things can not possibly get worse, Freeza arrives at the scene.

Although Piccolo has now warped to the surface of Namek, he is no where near the battlefield. Sensing that Gohan was in danger, Piccolo races to him. However, he doesn't go too far before he discovers the battered Nail. Nail offers to fuse with Piccolo so that his power would increase several times over, but Piccolo is reluctant. Seeing that there was no other way to beat Freeza, Piccolo fuses with Nail. Meanwhile, Vegeta and Freeza begin to battle, proving to be equals at this point. Knowing that he would need more power to win, Freeza transforms into a large, demon like beast. His speed and power increase dramatically, and his new form is much larger then before. Now fearing for his life, Vegeta backs off from Freeza. Using his horns, Freeza rushes Krillin and stabs him in the gut, rendering the bald hero unconscious and nearly dead.

Since Vegeta fears Freeza, only Gohan is left to do battle. Enraged by what looked like to be Krillin's death, Gohan manages to render Freeza unconshous for the moment. Now angered, Freeza throws Gohan around, and knocks him out as well. However, unknown to Freeza, Dende has the power to heal, and restores Krillin to full power. Using a Destructo Disk, Krillion manages to catch Freeza off-guard and cut off his tail. To give Dende time to heal Gohan, Krillin leads Freeza on a goose chase.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With the exception of Goku missing, all is well on Earth. The serenity is short-lived, as Freeza is on his way to the planet with his father, King Cold. The Z warriors sense his overwhelming presence, and prepare for his arrival. Knowing they have little change against the dark lord themselves, they are frightened to learn that another force just as powerful Freeza is accompanying him.

King Cold and his son finally land on Earth. Freeza has learned from his defeat to be more cautious, and not to underestimate a Super Saiya-jin. Goku is still hours away, so Freeza orders his men to exterminate all life on the Earth. However, a mysterious teenager with purple hair swoops down and slaughters all his minions before they have a chance to kill anyone. The youth tells Freeza that he will destroy him, and wastes no time. After a few attacks are exchanged, Freeza is sliced into tiny bits and then vaporized by the shadowy character. King Cold would not admit to himself that his son could be killed by a mere "monkey," and assumes that the kid's power lies in his sword. Convincing the teen to give him the sword, King Cold attacks. The teen merely catches the blade and proceeds to kill King Cold, despite his pleas.

The mysterious youth flies down to the others and tells them to follow him to Goku. Vegeta is stunned and blazing with rage after realizing there is yet another Saiya-jin who has surpassed him. Goku arrives in a small pod, finally reunited with his friends. The stranger asks Goku to talk to him, and Goku agrees. Introducing himself as Trunks, the son of Vegeta, he tells Goku that in three years he will die of a heart disease, and two androids will destroy the world. Goku is upset, not because he is going to die (been there, done that), but because he won't get to fight the androids. Trunks explains that Goku need not worry, as he brought an antidote for the heart disease from the future.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Once Gero returns to the lab and attempts to persuade #17 and #18 to fight the Z teamers. The androids disagree, and don't like being commanded, and say so. The two androids decide to activate #16 despite many warnings from Dr. Gero. #17 and #18 kill their creator without a thought. Vegeta states that that's not unusual, and that it is perfectly normal to kill anyone you don't like. Trunks shoots a blast into the cave which the lab is in, but it has no effect. #16 is activated. They ask him if he was made to kill Goku, and he replies to the affirmative. #18 says it makes her sick to think of Dr. Gero's goals for them.

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

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

#18 begins to land some critical hits on the now weakened Vegeta. Trunks cannot stand to see his father in such pain, and intervenes with his sword. However, #18 is so strong that Trunks' sword chips on impact. Piccolo, Tien, and Yamcha engage #17, but are beat back easily. Krillin considers helping, but realizes he's no match for the androids. #17 and #18 make quick work of the Z warriors, but do not kill them off. They tell Krillin to give his fallen comrades a Senzu, because their only true purpose is to kill Goku. #18 kisses Krillin on the cheek, and departs.

When Piccolo was revived along with the rest, he became extremely frustrated at himself. Without a reason, he flies off. Krillin notes the direction that Piccolo left in, and speculates that he has gone to recombine with Kami. Since both have an unimaginable hatred for the other, Krillin realizes that the situation must be grave. Back at Goku's house, our hero is still in incredible pain from the heart virus (Even after taking the medicine brought by Trunks). When Piccolo reaches the Kami tower, he explains to Kami that the world did not need a God, but a super warrior. However, Kami wants to have a longer look at the situation before he does anything rash, and tells Piccolo to wait.

Androids #16, #17, and #18 decided to take their time on their way to find Goku, and have some fun on their way. Both a motorcycle gang and the police chase after them, but are easily dispatched. Krillin and Trunks inform Chi-Chi of the situation, and that they have to move Goku to a safer location. Goku is loaded into a plane, and they all fly off to Kame-sennin's house.

While the Z senshi waited, Gohan, Krillin, and Trunks discuss how they could possibly use the time machine to defeat the cyborgs. Trunks told them that going into the past again to destroy the androids before they were activated would create another timeline, and would not destroy the androids looking for Goku in their future. When asked why he came back if he knew that anything he did would have no affect on the androids in his future, Trunks explained that he wanted to see if the androids had any weaknesses when Goku fought them, and if worst came to worst, he could take Goku back to his time and have him help destroy the menace.

In mid-flight the plane receives a call from Bulma saying that another time machine had been found. She faxes over a picture, and Trunks recognizes it as his time machine. He decides that he has to get a closer look, so Gohan, Trunks, and Bulma all head to the reported location. When they reach the machine, they find it covered in moss, and inside there are broken bits of a shell. Trunks has a look at the computer within the machine, and finds that it had departed three years after Trunks' future, and arrived four years in the current timeline. Close to the machine they find an egg capsule that something hatched from very recently. Trunks becomes very worried about the situation, but with nothing else to find, they leave the scene.

Meanwhile, Kami-sama began to fear what was happening down on Earth. Whatever had come out of the egg was now absorbing people left and right. An entire city's population had been decimated by this monster. Kami could not take it anymore, and agreed to merge with Piccolo. He explains to Mr. Popo that it was better to have a warrior in this situation than a Kami, and gives his life to Piccolo. Now possessing a superior intellect and a strong body, Piccolo flies down to find the monster.

Finding the monster sucking the life out of the last inhabitant of the city, Piccolo tells the monster to stop. The monster refuses, and begins to do battle with Piccolo. However, Piccolo's new strength is nothing to be trifled with, and he is unscatched by the monster's attacks. The rest of the Z warriors are confused by this development, as they can sense Vegeta's, Tien's, Piccolo's, and Freeza's ki from the same location. The monster rears back and fire a Kame Hame Ha at Piccolo, catching him off-guard (Although he still evades the blast). The monster then blurs behind Piccolo and stabs his arm, sucking the life force from it. Admitting defeat, Piccolo requests that the monster explain to him who he was and what he was up to.

The monster explains that he is an android created by Dr. Gero from the cells of the greatest warriors on Earth. Gero had collected samples from Goku, Tien, Piccolo, Freeza, Vegeta, and King Cold, but considered the project a failure and moved on to something else. However, the computer continued working on the creation, and finally finished three years after Trunks had defeated the androids in his own time (The computer was stationed much deeper in the Earth, so it was not destroyed by Trunks when the lab was blasted). Cell killed Trunks and took his time machine, but had to turn himself into an egg in order to fit. He had been told by Dr. Gero's computer that in order to become "perfect," he would have to absorb androids #17 and #18, who had already been killed in his timeline. Piccolo thanked Cell for the information, and regenerated his shriveled arm. Surprised by Piccolo's ability, Cell was forced to do battle again.

The Z Warriors move Goku to Master Roshi's house for fear that the Androids might try to kill Goku. Bulma contacts the Z Warriors and tells them that she saw a time machine like Trunks's. Trunks and Gohan fly out to look at the machine and find an egg shell nearby. In a town near them, a monster is absorbing people left and right. Piccolo, fearing that he will never be strong enough to stop the Androids, decides to fuse back with Kame. When Piccolo arrives, Kame tells him about the horrible creature attacking Gingertown. The two fuse with Piccolo as the base, and the two become one again. Piccolo flies to Ginger town to face this new threat. He encounters a horrible creature and the two fight. Cell holds Piccolo captive and absorbs an arm. Piccolo breaks free and demands to know more about his opponent before he loses his life to it. Cell agrees to Piccolo's last wish. The monster says it is called Cell, another one of Dr. Gero's creations. When Trunks returned to the future and killed Androids 17 and 18 of that time, Cell killed Trunks and stole his time machine to return to the past where the Androids were still alive. Cell reveals about how Dr. Gero abandoned the project on him but left the computer on to develop him on its own. In order to reach perfect form, he needed the beings of two figures crucial to the powerup - Androids 17 and 18. As newly hatched, he needed energy. That is why he has been absorbing people. Piccolo swears that he will not allow Cell to reach his perfect form. Then, he tears off his useless limb and regenerates his arm. The two fight again, but Cell runs off and evades Piccolo as it gathers more energy. Piccolo and the other give chase after the new menace.

The Androids head for Goku's house, terrorizing everyone in their path, and find he is not there. They then head for Master Roshi's house, still viewing the whole thing as a game. Gokou recovers from his illness and, hearing everything while asleep, prepares to join in fighting. Goku goes to Gohan and then to Vegeta and Trunks to tell them all of a place where you can train for the equivalent of a year but in only one day. All of them go to Kame's Lookout to enter the Room of Spirit and Time. Only two people can enter the room at a time however, so Vegeta and Trunks go in first. Meanwhile, Cell has gained enough strength to finally go looking for the Androids to achieve his perfect form. The Androids reach Roshi's house and Piccolo leads them to a nearby island to fight. As the two fight, Cell shows up on their island battleground. Cell easily beats Piccolo and heads for Android 17. Android 17 knows nothing about Cell and thinks of him as just another unworthy opponent, but Cell also easily beats the Number 17. Before Cell is able to absorb Android 17, Android 16 joins the fight. Android 16 overwhelms Cell. Cell becomes buried in a pile of rubble, but emerges atop Android 17 and absorbs him. Cell changes into form 2 and easily beats Number 16 with his newfound strength. Then, he heads for Android 18 and devours her, reaching Perfect Form. The Saiyans finish their training in the room of Spirit and Time, and Bulma rebuilds Android 16, who joins the Z Warriors.

Cell, in his infinite arrogance, announces the Cell Game, a tournament to give people the chance to fight him, one on one. If Cell survives, he will destroy the Earth. Goku and Cell battle to a standstill. Goku suddenly stops fighting and says that he will let Gohan take his place. Goku even gives Cell a Senzu Bean to keep things even! Gohan says that Goku is making him fight because when he gets angry his power rises unbelievably. Cell wants to see Gohan's hidden power, so he begins to beat Gohan mercilessly to force him to get angry. But no matter what Gohan never gets angry enough to fight back. Goku watches patiently and keeps anyone else out of the fight. Android sneaks up on Cell since the androids cant power up. Number 16 puts Cell in an arm lock and tells everyone to clear out so he can activate the Self Destruct mechanism that Dr. Gero put inside all his Androids. But Krillin yells to him that Bulma removed it when she put him back together. Cell laughs at 16's ignorance and destroys him again.
Cell gets tired of waiting for Gohan to get angry and threatens to kill the spectators. Cell flies to Krillin to steal his bag of Senzu Beans and heads back to Gohan. Cell creates 7 little clones, the Cell Jr's, to battle the spectators. Gohan watches helplessly as the Cell Jr's attack his friends. In the background, Mr. Satan and a camera crew had been documenting the tournament. Number 16's head lands near Mr. Satan and demands to be taken near Gohan so that he can tell Gohan how to save the world. After much reluctance, Mr. Satan slowly walks out intot he ring and throws the head toward Gohan, then slinks back behind a rock like the coward he truely is. Android 16's head encourages Gohan to fight, until Cell finally noticing the exchange between the two, crushes the head of Android 16. This sends Gohan into a rage and he powers up to SSJ2. Gohan steals the Senzu Beans back from Cell and easily beats the Cell Jr's. Gohan beats on Cell for awhile, forcing the enemy to power up to 100%. Cell can still not beat Gohan. Gohan lands a tough kick to the body of Cell forcing Android 18 back out, and forcing Cell to degrade to his 2nd form. Seeing no way to win in an even weaker form, Cell activates his self-destruct sequence. To save the Earth, Goku teleports Cell to King Kai's planet. Cell explodes and King Kai's tiny planet is destroyed. Goku, King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory die in the blast.The Z Warriors are all standing around in disbelief, when a fireball out of nowhere flies through Trunks's body. The heros look up to find Cell, in his perfect form, smiling down on them. Here we go again!

Cell explains that when he exploded, a single brain cell remained, from which he rebuilt himself. And due to his Saiyan DNA, the beast was able to come back stronger than before, in his perfect form. Vegeta gets mad and fires multiple blasts at Cell, but Cell stands by unharmed. Cell knocks Vegeta out and fires a shot at his helpless body. Gohan however zips over to Vegeta and takes the blast for him, rising battered and bloody. Cell and Gohan begin a Kamehameha duel, but it comes to a stalemate. Through King Kai, Goku yells encouragement his son. The remaining Z Warriors (Yamcha, Tien, Krillin, and Piccolo) fire all they have at Cell, but to no avail. Vegeta wakes back up and gets angry at the show of force from these low class Saiyans, Gohan and Goku. He fires a blast borne of hatred at Cell and it is powerful enough to distract the mighty creature. Goku yells to Gohan that this is his chance to finish Cell for good. Gohan puts all he has into his Kamehameha, and disintegrates Cell.

The Z Warriors head victoriously to Kame's Lookout, and Vegeta flies away, disbelieving that Gohan could be stronger than he. Mr. Satan and the news reporters wake up, and Mr. Satan, seeing the empty battlefield, takes all the credit for Cell's destruction. As the world celebrates Mr. Satan, the Z Warriors rest in Kame's Lookout, with Dende (the new Kame) who heals Gohan and Trunks. Android 18 awakens after the battle and the Z Warriors prepare for another battle. Krillin stops them from killing her and she flies away to the background of the Warriors joking on how Krillin has a crush on her. The Z Warriors gather the Dragon Balls and prepare to make their wishes. First they wish to remove all the bombs from inside the Androids. Then they wish to bring back all those killed by Cell. Goku however cannot be brought back, but he tells everyone through King Kai that it's ok. The Z Warriors all reflect on Goku's life. Mr. Satan emerges the savior of Earth, and Gohan goes off to tell his mother the terrible news about his Dad.

The Buu Saga starts out with the Tenkachi Bodoukai, and Goku being resurrected for only one day so that he can fight. Soon Doubler, the prince of darkness, turns Krillin and Piccolo to stone on the mountainside. Gohan, Goku, Vegeta and Ka-oo-shin travel into Babidee's space ship looking for this new menace. Babidee is trying to gather enough energy to resurrect Majin Buu, so he makes a game out of the warriors. He sends a warrior out to fight the heroes one at a time on each floor. Vegeta begins the game by devastating Babidee's first low class fighter. Goku takes on the second and wins overwhelmingly. But when it comes to the third fight, Gohan does not have such an easy time with the Prince of Darkness, Doubler. Doubler leaves half way through the battle saying that it was because he found another warrior for this 3rd out of the 5 stages of the ship. Babidee uses his magic to charm Vegeta, creating a new enemy for Goku -- Majin Vegeta!

Majin Vegeta and the Heroes get sent to the Martial Arts arena. After Majin Vegeta kills a few hundred people, Goku finally agrees to fight him. Disobeying Kai-oo-shin, Goku requests Babidee send them somewhere uninhabited. Vegeta finally admits to Goku that he allowed himself to be charmed so that he could finally battle Goku.

The titanic battle takes place, and the energy released from the battle is enough for Babidee to awaken Fat Buu. The two go flying around Earth, spreading mayhem and despair wherever they go. Majin Vegeta knocks out Goku but realizes that Good will always triumph in the end. He sees how useless his evil ways have been, and Vegeta finally becomes truly good. Majin Vegeta finds Buu and self destructs hoping that his sacrifice will destroy Buu. Unfortunately it is not enough and Buu survives.

Goku finally steps up to bat against Fat Buu, but cannot beat him. His rage sends him into SSJ3 for the first time. About this time Bulma begins gathering the dragon balls to wish back all those killed by the Majins. Buu gets angry at being Babidee's slave, so he turns on Babidee and kills him. Fat Buu, in an attempt to purify himself, splits into a Good Buu and an Evil Buu. The two battle and the Evil Buu wins, resulting in a trimmed down, more muscular version of Fat Buu.

Gohan travels to Kai-oo-shin's planet to train. He dons a native suit and begins using the Z sword. He learns how to use his hidden power without requiring the rage that it takes to go SSJ. Everyone else goes to Kame's Lookout, where Goku teaches Goten and Trunks how to fuse to become Gotenks. Goku then teleports to Kai-oo-shin's planet to watch everything from there. Buu senses this huge power and travels to Kame's Lookout to search out this huge power. Gotenks goes into training, and Piccolo tricks Buu into waiting in a room in which time moves slower than the room Gotenks is training in. Chichi starts to scold Buu for killing so many innocent people. Buu turns Chichi into an egg and squashes her (THANK GOD!!).

Buu eventually gets sick of waiting for them to come out and demands to be taken to the boys. Piccolo takes him into the room and Gotenks battles with Buu for a while. The fight reaches a stalemate when Piccolo blasts the door to trap everyone in the room, so that Buu cannot kill anymore people. Buu uses his power to create a portal and exits the room. Gotenks tries and fails to make a portal but then goes SSJ3 and has the power to pull it off. Gotenks battles Buu in his new form and is winning and knocks Buu back to the Earth, however, Kame's Lookout is destroyed in the process. Gotenks and Piccolo go back to Earth to look for Buu's body, but find that he is far from dead. Before Gotenks can continue his attack the Fusion wears off and Goten and Trunks unfused are not strong enough to stand against Buu.

Gohan finishes his training and puts on a suit like his Dad's before leaving to help his friend's on Earth. Goku wants to go help but cannot because he is dead. Gohan appears on Earth and battles Buu until Buu self Destructs and the Z warriors think they have won. The fly away and see Buu flying at them. Goten and Trunks fuse into Gotenks again, but while Gotenks is distracted Buu absorbs him. Now much stronger than before, Buu launches an attack against Gohan. Buu throws a fireball at Gohan but it is blocked by another Fireball thrown by Tien.

Goku is brought back to life because Dai Kai-oo-shin trades his life for Goku's. Kai-oo-shin gives Goku the Fusion Earrings and shows him how to use them so that Goku and Gohan can fuse and beat Buu. Meanwhile King Yama grants Vegeta life so that he can help save the Earth. Just as Buu is about to launch another fireball at Gohan, Goku appears and save the day, cutting Buu in almost in half. He gives Gohan one of the earrings and they prepare to fuse. Just then, Buu's dissected parts start to absorb some of the Z warriors (Piccolo, Tien, and even Gohan.) Buu is now fully powered up and Goku is feeling hopelessness weigh down on him.

Here comes Vegeta!!! Vegeta shows up to help Goku (this is a first! :) ), and Goku tells him about the fusion. Vegeta finds the earring that Gohan dropped and puts it on. Goku and Vegeta fuse to form Vegetto. Vegetto beats up on Buu for awhile, but gets absorbed on purpose to rescue his absorbed friends. Vegetto's fusion is canceled out by the absorption and Vegeta and Goku go off to search for their friends. Piccolo, Gohan, Trunks, Goten, Goku, Vegeta from Buu's pores and are returned to normal size. Buu has, however, absorbed enough energy to reach his original form, and Buu is now whole again. Buu launches a fireball that will destroy the Earth and with the help of Kai-oo-shin, Goku teleports Vegeta, Goten, Gohan, Trunks, Piccolo, Mr. Satan, and Dende to Kai-oo-shin's planet where they escape the Earth's destruction. Buu teleports and follows the escapees. Goku fights Buu and is beaten badly, then Vegeta steps up and is beaten also. Buu is about to kill Vegeta when Mr. Satan taunts him and draws off his attentions. Good Buu escapes from within Buu and the two fight until Good Buu is knocked out. Buu continues to fight Goku and Vegeta. Vegeta tells Kai-oo-shin to gather the Namekian Dragon Balls and wish back the Earth and all its inhabitants. The only people left now to face Buu are Goku and Vegeta, as everyone else was sent back to Earth. Vegeta distracts Buu while Goku builds up his Spirit Bomb. The heroes back on Earth try to convince everyone to raise their hands and donate their energy to Goku's Spirit Bomb, but none listens. Then Mr. Satan, who is still a hero to the people, raises his hands prompting everyone else to do the same. Goku is now ready.

Goku launches his Spirit Bomb, but Buu holds it back. Kai-oo-shin makes his final wish and restores Goku's energy so he can increase the strength of his Spirit Bomb. Buu is destroyed the the Z warriors are victorious. Fat Buu awakens and his life is spared for saving Mr. Satan's life earlier. Fat Buu joins the Z warriors.
Goten and Trunks are teenagers (still making trouble). Gohan marries Videl and they have a daughter named Pan. Buu becomes Ubuu, a purely good version of Buu. Goku trains Ubuu, and all is well.
