One year after Goku�s death the Saiyans arrive on earth, looking for the dragon balls. The earth�s special forces arrive after Napa destroys a small city. Soon the media and the military arrive to watch over the monumental battle. Vegeta and Napa , the 2 saiyans, decide to employ the help of their Saibamen, small green men who grow out of a seed planted in the ground in a couple seconds time. Piccolo, Gohan, Krillin, Yamcha, Tien, and Choazu decide to fight the Saibamen one at a time. Vegeta agrees to those terms and the tournament like battle ensues. Yamcha beats a Saibaman , but while his back is turned , it jumps from the ground and then latches onto him. It self-destructs, kiliing Yamcha instantly Krillin gets really mad and fires off a blast that starts the end of the Saibamen. Once the team has beaten the Saibamen , the bigger of the 2 saiyans steps up, Napa (but weaker than Vegeta) NO one is even able to touch Napa, who probes way too strong and fast for the outclassed humans, Choazu comes the closest when he attempts to pull Napa into an alternate dimension (killed himself in the process) , but Napa blocks just in time and Choazu ends up dead. Tien goes into a rage, and launches a suicide attack against the giant saiyan. Before Napa finally kills Tien, he chops his arm off. Napa is a little bruised after the fight with Tien but he is pretty unharmed. Just as Napa goes to fight against the remaining 3 fighters, Vegeta calls a time out to give Kakorot (goku) time to arrive on the scene. The 3 hour time out expires and the fighting resumes. Napa launches a blast at Gohan , and Piccolo jumps in front of the blast, but Gohan is spared. Napa�s assault continues against Gohan and Krillin. Then Goku shows up ! Goku makes sport of Napa for a bit before eventually Vegeta, sick of his partner�s incompetence kills Napa. That leaves Vegeta and Goku to battle it out. The fights runs into a stalemate before vegeta pulls out his ace, a blast of energy meant to mimic a full moon. Vegeta goes into Oozaru, big monkey, form and Starts to convincingly win the fight. Eventually the cowardly Yajirobe comes to the rescue cutting off Vegeta�s tail. Goku blasts him with a kamehameha, sending him far, far away. Yajirobe leaves before Vegeta can come back ,and Goku tries to gather what little energy he has left for the rest of the fight. After the battle ends and Vegeta retreats back to space, Goku, Krillin, and Gohan are rushed to the hospital. Krillin and Gohan are out in no tie but Goku isn�t so lucky. He�s in a near body cast. Now that Piccolo has died that means Kame has died, due to their link. So bulma decides to lead an expedition to Kame�s home planet , Namek, to use their dragon balls to revive their fallen comrades . They acquire Kame�s old ship and take off for the far away planet. They run into a couple obstacles along the way, a fake mockup of Mamek with some malicious aliens and a spaceship filled with refugees who think they are the bad guys. But they eventually arrive on the planet Namek. Goku gets out of the hospital when Yahirobe brings him a sensu bean to heal him. He gets a ship from bulma�s father, Dr.Briefs, and heads toward Namek to help his friends. God know they�ll need it !! |
