The Saiyan Saga Seven years after the original DragonBall saga, Goku and Chi-Chi have had a son named Gohan after Goku adoptive grandfather. All is peaceful as Goku journeys with Gohan at a reunion with his friends at Kame House. All the while, a strange warrior with a tail and black hair has come to earth as well. While first, confronting Piccolo, the offspring of Piccolo Daimo, the strange warrior senses Goku with a device and heads his way. The warrior, who arrives at Kame House, introduces himself as part of a warrior race called Saiyan, as well as being Goku's brother. He explains how Goku was meant to come to earth and then destroy everything in preparation for sale. Though this man named Raditz requests Goku (or Kakarott, as he is called by Saiyan) to rejoin him and destroy the earth's inhabitants, but of course, he refuses. Angered by his defiance, Raditz kidnaps his son Gohan, and flies off. Goku, knowing that he cannot defeat his brother alone, employs the assistance of Piccolo. Even though they both attack the Saiyan warrior, the two are still toppled by Raditz superior power. Even Goku's Kamehameha has no effect on him. At this point, Piccolo tells Goku of a new attack he's been working on that was previously designated for Goku himself. However, in the current circumstances, Piccolo would have to use the attack on Raditz. Because of how long the attack takes to charge, Goku must face Raditz alone, allowing him to be pummeled. Piccolo finally finishes charging up and shoots the beam he calls Makankasappo. However, the attack misses. At that moment, Gohan, seeing his father being up, becomes enraged and breaks out of the Saiyan Space Pod, that is his prison! Gohan enrages and head butts Raditz, leaving him temporarily stunned. With that chance, Goku grabs a hold of Raditz tail and tells Piccolo to try the attack again. (As a side note, Piccolo only has one arm at the moment). Piccolo finally shoots the beam while Goku is still holding Raditz tail, blowing them right threw. The two warriors die, but before they do, Piccolo mentions how Goku will be revived with the DragonBalls. Here, Raditz reveals  that his power-sensing device (a scouter) can also be used as a means of communications. He tells them that another Saiyan he knows about the DragonBalls and will arrive on earth in one year. At last, he falls silently. From here, everyone basically begins training for the arrival. While Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, Chaiotzu, and Yajorobe train at Kame's Lookouts while Gohan trains with Piccolo. Of course, Gohan did not go with Piccolo voluntarily; he was technically kidnapped by Piccolo, who hoped that he could teach the child to control his great power. Meanwhile in heaven, Goku heads toward King Kai's planet in hopes of receiving training. On the way there, he faces a demon snake in the form of a princess and falls into hell as well. Eventually, he does reach the small planet, and begins his training by chasing King Kai's monkey, Bubbles, and then Gregory. As a more advanced technique, Goku also learns the art of Kaio-Ken, where he can multiply his power, though his body eventually collapse if too much power is released. The other important ability is the Spirit Bomb (Genki-Dama), which draws upon energies of the planet to form a devastating energy ball. After a year passes, the Saiyan, known as Nappa and Vegeta, land. After destroying a city , they head to battle Piccolo and the others. The earthlings must then fight six Sabaimen, released by Nappa. Most of them are easily destroyed , but Yamcha is killed by one of those aliens. Nappa joins in the battle, killing Tien and Chaiotzu easily. Though Krillin convinces Vegeta to wait for Goku, the threes warriors left are given three hours of rest. When three hours are up, the battle resumes, still no sign of Goku. Krillin and Piccolo plan an attack to destroy Nappa, and may have succeeded , if Gohan did not chicken out at the last moment! Later, Piccolo sacrifices himself to save Gohan from one of Nappa's blasts. As a result, Kame dies as well. Krillin and Gohan are the only survivors when Goku arrives. Extremely angry, Goku literally defeats Nappa, but Vegeta finishes him off. Vegeta and Goku then face off, and it appears that Goku is too powerful for Vegeta when he unleashes the Kaio-Ken attacks! Seeing that he is too powerful, Vegeta transforms himself into a Oozaru. In doing so, Vegeta beats Goku around, smashing his legs as well. This continues until Yajirobe saves the day by cutting Vegeta's tail off. Krillin and Gohan then have to battle Vegeta. While Gohan is no match for the Saiyan prince, Vegeta realizes that Gohan has a tail and Vegeta tries to pull it out, but it is to late he has already begun transformation! Vegeta then tries to blast it off, and succeeds. But, he thought that he pass by him and land on the ground, but he was wrong. He got squished by Gohan. Goku hands Krillin the remaining energy from the Spirit Bomb he was gathering. Using the power of the earth, Krillin misses the shot and is headed straight for Gohan, hen Goku tells Gohan to dodge it and go for Vegeta! Then forcing him to flee from the planet. --END!--
