The real Dragon Ball Z story begins when Goku's real brother Raditz shows up on Earth to find out why Earth has not be conquered yet. Goku is extremely confused, first not knowing what Raditz was talking about and second, not exactly sure that he should believe the claim that Raditz was his brother. Raditz starts calling his brother by the name of Kakarott, Goku has no idea what he is talking about, Raditz gets angry and explains the story of where he comes from, and why he was sent to Earth. Goku discovers that he is really from a planet named Vegita, and is part of a race called the Saia-jin (jin means person). Long ago the Saia-jin race made deals with other races that had more technology to conquer planets and and sell them to the highest bidder. For strong planets adult Saia-jins were required to destroy all life, but since there were so many planets they started sending saia-jin baby's to other worlds, with orders to destroy all life, and report back when complete. Earth was one of those planets, and Kakarott (Goku) was the one sent there. It turns out that if Goku had never fallen and wacked his head as a child, he would have done just that, and defeated Earth. Raditz also tell Goku the sad news of there home planet's recent destruction, and that he needs Goku to finish off Earth and join back up with him. Goku of course refuses and this gets Raditz extremely angry, at the same time he notices that Goku's tale is missing, and is extremely angry because of it. After an operation, Goku was permanently exhausted of his tail, and lost the ability to transform into a Oozaru (giant monkey) which is a Saia-jin's full power. Goku tells Raditz that his name is Goku, and that he wants Raditz to leave him and his friends alone. Since Goku is being so un co-operative he knocks Goku down with ease and takes his son Gohan. He tells Goku that if he wants to see the boy again, he will have to eliminate a large number of human life on the planet as proof of loyalty. Guku has no intention of killing anyone, and tries to think up a way to defeat Raditz. Shortly after Raditz leaves the island with Goku's son, Piccolo shows up and tells Goku of the encounter he had with the space born Saia-jin. Piccolo also suggests that Goku and him combine forces to defeat Raditz. Goku is overwhelmed that Piccolo, his enemy would want to fight next to him, but Piccolo has not changed at all, and assures Goku that he will get his after they have taken care of Raditz. With that Goku and Piccolo Launch off and fight a waiting Raditz. During the course of the fight Gohan shows signs of being the most powerful being on the planet, and launches an incredibly powerful attack at Raditz. After much fighting Raditz it proven to be to powerful for Goku and Piccolo and Goku sacrifices himself by holding Raditz still while Piccolo launches an attack that kills both of them. Raditz, overwhelmed with what just happened asked Piccolo why he would do such a foolish thing, and Piccolo tells him that on this planet they have Dragon Balls, and can wish Goku back whenever they would like. Raditz is extremely angry, but then changes is attitude, and points to the device on the side of his head, and tells Piccolo that other Saia-jin have heard exactly what Piccolo has said about the Dragon Balls, and that they would come to get the Dragon Balls for themselves. He tells the dieing Goku that he has 1 year before they arrive, then both warriors die.

Now don't get too upset, in the Dragon Ball world there is a different exsistance when you die. Kind of like Heaven, accept good and evil go there. Once you die a Giant Pink man named Satan (not Satin, King Yama) and he decides what to do with you. After Goku dies, Kame Goku ask Satan is it was ok if Goku traveled down Snake Way to get training from Kaio-sama. After some consideration Satan finally agreed and let Goku have his way. The rest of Dragon Ball Z will be very briefly summarized because its so long. While Goku makes his way down Snake Way, and trains with Kaio-sama, Piccolo steals Gohan away, and trains him because of the massive energy that he had put off earlier in the battle with Raditz. At the same time Kulilin, Yagerobi, Choze, Tanshinhan, and Yamcha train under the watchful eye of Kame on his training platform that hovers high above Earth. One year passes and the two Saia-jin land on Earth, there names are Prince Vegita and Nappa. Vegita was formally the ruler of the planet Vegita until his nemesis Freeza destroyed the entire planet. From that point on Freeza became Vegita's mortal enemy, and Vegita has been looking for a way since to defeat him. Once Vegita heard about the Dragon Balls he came to Earth immediately to wish for immortality so he could defeat Freeza and rule the Galaxy. Now you have to understand that Vegita is not stupid, he is extremely intelligent, probably the most intelligent characters in the entire Dragon Ball universe. Vegita knows how everything works, and he probably knows you better than you know yourself, on that note, you have to give the guy some Credit. As for his partner Nappa, he's kind of a block head, and he lets the vision of himself get to him. He follows Vegita's orders without question even though he's much larger than Vegita. Around the time that Vegita lands on Earth he is still a very young guy, I'd say between 19-22 years of age, so he's still very short, later in the Z series he grows taller, but still a little shorter than Guku. Now since Earth's forces had no intention of letting Vegita make a wish from the Dragon Balls, Vegita and Nappa has no choice but to fight them. Also Vegita wanted to find Kakarot and convince him to join there side and fight Freeza.

In the fight between Vegita, Nappa and Earth's forces only four warriors survived. Yamcha was killed by a Kamikaze attack by a Green Alien that Nappa had created. Choze died while trying to attempt a Kamikaze attack on Nappa (which failed). Tanshinhan died in rage after throwing an energy attack at Nappa that took every last ounce of his ki. Last but not least Piccolo died while protecting Gohan from a blast that Nappa had shot out at Gohan. When Piccolo died, so did Kame and the Dragon Balls turned to Stone. When Goku finally arrived back from Kaio-sama's training, he finds most of his friends dead, and with a little bit of fooling around defeats Nappa. In turn Vegita kills Nappa for his failure. Goku and Vegita begin there fight where Goku uses the new techniques that Kaio-sama taught him. Kaio-Ken, and Genki Dama. After a long and hard fight, and one of the coolest Kamehameha scenes in Dragon Ball exsistance, Vegita is defeated. With the aid of Kulilin and Gohan they were able to hit Vegita with a Genki Dama. While slowly crawling back to his pod Kulilin grabs Yagerobi's sword and gets ready to impale Vegita. Goku cries out to let Vegita go, because he is one of the last Saia-jin in exsistance. With his release Vegita climbs in his capsule and heads back to Freeza's headquarters to get rejuvenated. Gohan, Bulma, and Kulilin hop aboard the ship that brought Kame to Earth and head off to Namek to find the Dragon Balls there and wish all of there friends back. Vegita finally reaches his destination and gets all fixed up, he also finds out that Freeza is currently rounding up the Dragon Balls on Namek to wish for immortality himself. When Vegita hears this he rushes to his pod in rage and shoots off to the planet Namek. At this point in the story everyone seems to be on Namek, it has become the focal point of the entire universe. While Freeza flies around the planet gathering Dragon Balls, Vegita tries to devise a plan to destroy him. Kulilin, Gohan and Bulma try to sneak around the best they can to get some of the Dragon Balls. Back on Earth Goku finally gets a new batch on Senzo beans from Yagirobi, he pops one in his mouth which heals him instantly. Goku rushes off to Namek in a Giant space pod that Bulma's father had designed just for Goku, with a gravity generator so that he can train under extreme gravity on the way to Namek.

After the actual Freeza fight begins, Piccolo, Gohan, Kulilin, and Vegita try to hold Freeza back while Goku arrives. Vegita has been severely battered by Freeza, while Vegita was yelling something about Super Saia-jin to Goku Freeza gets annoyed and kills him. The course of this battle lasts about 24 episodes, its the longest and most furious battle Dragon Ball has ever seen. They were going to make it the end of the Dragon Ball Z series, but the fan response was so great to this battle, they decided to let the series continue. During the course of the battle an extremely historical point is reached for the future of Dragon Ball. Kulilin is killed by Freeza, and out of over emissive rage and hate Goku explodes into Super Saia-jin mode. Super Saia-jin is like an untamed horse that is impossible to ride, a legend that only a super elite Saia-jin could achieve. Nobody had any concept of how powerful the Super Saia-jin was, its like taking life to a higher level of exsistance and power. Even though Goku had become immeasurable more powerful than all of his past enemys including Vegita, Freeza was still able to keep up a massive fight. In the end it became somewhat of a draw, and the entire planet of Namek exploded from a blast that Freeza had earlier shoved into the planet's core. During the fight, all of the Nameks that Freeza had killed trying to get the Dragon Balls were brought back to life, and transported to Earth. Dende shortly after took over Kame's seat as guardian of Earth, and merged with Piccolo, who had already shortly before merged with a warrior Namek named Nail . After the Planet Namek was destroyed Guku and Freeza's ki disappeared and everyone feared for the worst.

Not too much farther in the Z series a man named Trunks comes from the future to warn Goku about some Robots that will eventually kill him and bring devastation over the planet. Freeza shows up later with his father on Earth, but Trunks quickly destroys both of them with his Saia-jin mode. Trunks hit his Saia-jin mode while witnessing his trainer Gohan get killed in the future. Trunks also carries around a Sword that was given to him by a friend that was also from Trunk's future. I'm still unsure as to how Vegita and future Trunks set a relationship in the Z series, but I'm still learning. I do know that Vegita watches over his son, never really getting involved with anything he does, but if anyone ever threatens Trunks, they will immediately have to deal with adult Vegita, who is now allot more powerful than he used to be, and can also pop into Super Saia-jin mode. Vegita keeps his distance from Goku, but is always very proud. Throughout the rest of the Dragon Ball Z series, new enemys are fought, like Cell, and Majin Boo. Power levels are increased to Super Saia-jin level 2 and 3. and warriors merging to combine and double there strengths like Gogita, and Gotenks. New characters arrive like little Goten, Goku's second son who is the spitting image of his father. And #18 who eventually has a child with Kulilin who now has a full head of hair. We also get to see Gohan grow up and watch over his little brother, while dodging Videl's jealousy.
