Goku has a reunion with his
friends and introduces them to Gohan, his five-year-old son. However, an alien lands on
Earth to seek Goku. He introduces himself as Raditz, Goku's older brother, and asks Goku
to join him in a Say-jin quest of universal destruction around the universe. But, when
Goku refuses, Raditz kidnaps Gohan and tells Goku to bring dead bodies to Kame’s
house by some period of time to see if Goku still has the Say-jin ways in him. However,
Goku remains loyal to Earth and decides to rescue Gohan through another method, by killing
Raditz! Surprisingly, a person from the planet Namek, Piccolo, allies with Goku and
Piccolo decides to gather energy to do a super fireball on Raditz. Meanwhile, Raditz put
Gohan inside his space pod to keep him quiet. Raditz explains that he has a machine called
a scouter that he uses to track power levels beyond sight. When Goku and Piccolo arrive,
Goku stalls time and waits for Piccolo to power up. They battle it out and a huge fight
begins. Piccolo gets his arm chopped off! At the end, Goku puts his brother in a hold. At
the advantage, Piccolo unleashes his fireball (Special Beam Cannon), which blasts and goes
through both Goku and Raditz! When the others arrive, Krillin finds the fighters and
laughs at the dying Raditz as he mocks him that Goku will be brought back to life through
the power of the Dragonballs. Goku's brother replies that the scouter can also be used for
communication. He sends the news about the Dragonballs to his two comrades, and dies.
Because Piccolo discovered that Gohan had hidden powers when Gohan unknowingly headbutts
and damages Raditz, he kidnaps Gohan in an attempt to train him. Goku, rather than
retiring in Heaven, is sent on a quest to run on Snake Way and to seek King Kai to receive
training for the upcoming fight with the Say-jins. The rest of the Z warriors (Krillin,
Yamcha, Tien, and Chaozu) are gathered to receive special training from Kami. One year
later, Nappa and Vegeta (the evil Say-jins) arrive to Earth. (But, they intend to find the
Dragonballs to be granted the wish of immortality rather that to bring back the life of
their unworthy comrade.) First come the battle against the Saiba-men (little Green
monsters) that Nappa planted. In the Saiba-men fight, Yamcha is killed, but the rest of
the Saiba-men are eventually killed by Vegeta and Krillin. After their defeat, our heroes
fight Nappa; Vegeta stands in the background and watches. In a series of battles, Chaozu
dies as he attempts to Nappa into another dimension; Tien dies by using up his strength to
try to kill Nappa; Piccolo dies when he covers Gohan from Nappa's fireball. Finally, Goku
arrives and easily defeats Nappa. Vegeta sees Nappa's uselessness and kills him with a
single fireball. As you all can guess, the remaining Z warriors begin to fight Vegeta.
Goku begins to fight Vegeta. The odds are against Vegeta, so Vegeta creates an energy ball
that substitutes the moon. Then, he turns into his Were-form state and turns into a giant
gorilla. Our heroes get kicked around, but Vegeta later gets his tail cut off by Yajerobe.
Goku donates energy from his Genki-Dama (Spirit Bomb) to Krillin. It misses Vegeta, but
Gohan bounces it back and this time, the fireball hits Vegeta, but Vegeta survives.
Meanwhile, Gohan's tail grows back. Gohan turns into his full moon stage and kicks Vegeta
around. Later, Gohan gets his tail cut off by Vegeta and finally turns back into a little
boy... landing right on top of Vegeta. Vegeta, weary and defeated, crawls to his space
shuttle and leaves Earth. This is not the end of Vegeta...
