Dragonball Z the Beginning

Chapter 1:

The Saiyan Tells

Told by Vegeta and Goku Jr.

It's been five years since the battle with Piccolo Goku has married and had a son, Gohan, who he named after his grandfather. He and Gohan were going to go to a reunion at Goku's old Martial Arts master's house so that he could introduce his son to them, not knowing that a new threat was just on the horizon. Goku had no idea that he was being searched for by his older, evil brother, Raditz.

But Raditz was looking for a guy named 'Kakarot'. Eventually Raditz picked up on a power level and thinking it was his brother he headed in that direction. But what he found there wasn't his brother, it was Piccolo, Goku's rival at the time. Unfortunately for Piccolo Raditz was much more powerful and was about to destroy him when his Scouter picked up on another signal. Kakarot's signal.

Meanwhile as Raditz was on his way there Goku and Gohan had just arrived at the islands. Goku introduced his son, Gohan, to Roshi, Bulma, and Krillin when all of a sudden there was a strange man who had been searching for his younger brother, which turned out to be Goku, showed up. But what Raditz didn't know or what Goku thought he knew was that Goku knew that he was a Saiyan and of his mission. His mission to destroy all Earthlings on Earth. But what Goku didn't realize was that this was the second oldest, not Cecil, the oldest in his family. He was the one brother who didn't know of the plan that the King his son, Vegeta, Goku, his twin brothers Zetheros and Raymond, his sister Teara, his oldest brother Cecil, his youngest brother Rage and his father Bardock had made to get rid of Frieza.

I guess we should start at the beginning. When Goku first found out that he was a Saiyan.

It all started when Goku was fourteen. He had gotten real sick with a virus. A virus a Saiyan could only get. After he had recovered him Krillin and Bulma all wondered how he had gotten sick in the first place. Roshi said that he knew how and of course the three friends wanted to know.

Roshi told them that it was a virus that only Saiyans could get. At first Goku didn't believe that he wasn't from Earth but then Roshi said "Naturally your grandfather said you wouldn't believe me so he made this." and he held up a tape. Roshi put it in the VCR and once again Goku was looking in the face of his dead grandfather.

'Goku if you're watching this then that means that Roshi has told you who you are and that you didn't believe him. But you are a Saiyan like me your grandfather' and after that Goku believed Roshi of course

After he found out that he was a Saiyan Goku had Bulma get her dad to build him a spaceship so that he could go to the Saiyan planet where he would meet someone with who he would have many friendship trials with… Vegeta. He and Vegeta met when Goku had first got there, but the first person Goku met when he got there was his father Bardock. Bardock took Goku to their hideout explaining about his gift which was how he knew that Goku was coming. When they got there the saw that there was already someone there training. It was Prince Vegeta.

"Kakarot this is Prince Vegeta." said Bardock.

"Bardock please I told you, call me Vegeta I told you that my father considers you family." said Vegeta

"Sorry anyway this is my son Kakarot." said Bardock

"Nice to meet you." said Vegeta

"You too." said Goku.

"So Kakarot did my father tell you?" asked Bardock.

"No he was killed. I think the people in the village said it was a giant ape that killed him." said Goku

"So who told you?" asked Vegeta

"My Martial Arts-" however Goku was interrupted by a young man that look very much like Goku himself and Bardock.

"Father we've got a problem."

"What is it, Zetheros?" asked Bardock

"There's a strange ship out side and its not from our planet of Enterra"

"Don't worry Zetheros. It's Kakarot's ship." said Bardock

"Which reminds me from what you guys told me about Frieza I don't want him knowing about it." said Goku

"How are you going to hid it?" asked Zetheros looking over at his twin. "The thing is huge."

"Come and see." said Goku simply and they left wondering what Goku was planning. When they got to his ship he pressed a small button on the panel and it changed into a capsule. Goku turned to his father brother and Vegeta and said "Just like that."

"Whoa."

"Anyway I'm going to get Cecil Raditz and Millisar. Not to mention Raymond and Teara." said Zetheros walking away.

"Zetheros wait!" called Bardock

"What Father?"

"Just get Cecil, Raymond, Teara, and Millisar." said Bardock walking back to the hideout.

"Okay." said Zetheros.

"Okay Kakarot you stay here with Vegeta. Vegeta is your father in?"

"If by 'in' you mean in the castle then yes." said Vegeta.

"Okay you two stay here." said Bardock

"Okay." said Goku and Vegeta in unison.

After Bardock left Vegeta went back to training while Goku watched. Until Vegeta asked if Goku would train with him. Goku had to admit it was a good idea. He was wondering how Saiyans who had grown up to be fighters fought. He did fight often but only to protect his friends and home.

"So what do you say Kakarot?"

"Sure I would like that." said Goku

While Bardock went to Vegeta's father and while Vegeta and Goku was training Zetheros came back with, who Goku assumed was, Cecil, Millisar, Raymond and Teara. "Well you must be Kakarot."

"Why does everyone keep calling me 'Kakarot'?"

"Because that's your Saiyan name." said Bardock walking through the door with the Saiyan King Vegeta's father.

He walked over to Goku and said "You must be Bardock's third son. My name is Vegeta."

"Whoa." said Goku surprised at the King having the same name as Vegeta, with who Goku became fast friends. The only person he could remember becoming friends with so fast was his best friend on Earth Krillin.

Goku stayed on Vegeta for one year occasionally checking up on Krillin and the others. On the last week he was there King Vegeta, who had had enough of Frieza, had made a plan with Bardock to get rid of Frieza once and for all. He called Vegeta and Goku in to speak with them privately and to tell them of plan as Bardock had already told his and Vegeta's other children.

"The only problem we have Cerino. He's causing chaos. You boys are the strongest Saiyans I have ever seen. You boys can stop him." he said and Goku and Vegeta just looked at one another.

So Goku and Vegeta went to the cave where Cerino was. They battled with all they had but in the end Cerino made Goku and Vegeta so mad that for a brief moment their hair was blonde. They then beat him with a combination of Goku's KameHame wave and Vegeta's Galick Gun. Once they powered down and went back to the castle, they told the King that it was over. "Well with Cerino at least." said Goku

"Good the plan has been set into motion Bardock explained to Frieza about your ship Kakarot and Frieza would like to see you." King Vegeta said

"Right." Goku said. He knew that this was coming and he had already had the perfect way to get everyone except for Cecil, Raditz, and Vegeta to Earth with him.

As he walked over to where Frieza was Goku noticed that the guards just leered at him. "So your Kakarot? The Saiyan that was sent Earth?"

"Yes. I've come back to request that I take help back with me. The people of Earth are stronger than what we had originally thought and I need help eliminating them."

"Do you have anyone in mind?"

"Yes. I would like to take three of my brothers and sister, Teara. I would also like to take Akan, Zeke, Kain, Reiha, and Aldo."

"Very well."

"Thank you sir."

And so Goku took his leave with his three brothers Raymond, Zetheros, and Rage. His sister Teara. Vegeta's four brothers Akan, Zeke, Aldo and Kain and his sister Reiha. As they were on their way back to Earth something terrible was getting ready to take place. Goku, meanwhile was training hard with Zetheros. When they asked him why he was training so hard, he didn't tell them that it was because he was making up for all the sparing matches he had missed with them while he grew up on Earth. No he told that that by the time they would get there it would be a week before the World Tournament and he was going to enter again. As they got to Earth Goku landed the ship at Capsule Corp. where all of Goku's friends were. Goku went out of the ship when they got there to meet a very surprised Krillin Bulma and Roshi.

"Why are all of you surprised." asked Goku

"Well we didn't expect you to bring anyone back with you." said Bulma

"So who are all your friends Goku?" asked Krillin

"Why are they calling you that Kakarot?" asked Teara

"I'll explain that to you guys later." said Goku "And I'll explain why these guys are calling me Kakarot later." he said to Bulma Roshi and Krillin. "So you guys wanted to know who these guys are? Well these four are my family." he said pointing at Teara Raymond Zetheros and Millisar. "And these five are well… hey Bulma do you remember the last time I contacted you before I left?"

"Yeah…" Bulma said slowly.

"You remember the guy that was with me? Vegeta?"

"Yeah." she said wondering what Goku was getting at.

"Well these four boys here, Akan, Zeke Aldo and Kain are his brothers and this is his sister Reiha." said Goku and when his friends still looked confused he sighed and started to explain the plan that they made on Vegeta and then they finally understood.

"So Goku you planning on entering the tournament?" asked Krillin

"Yeah you bet I am." said Goku

So for the whole week Goku trained for the tournament not knowing that Zetheros Akan Millisar Aldo Reiha and Kain were entering as well. Then the day of the tournament Zetheros and the others surprised Goku and the others by entering as well. Krillin and the others also entered knowing full well that with seven Saiyans in the tournament who knows who would win.

Everyone fought hard until it was just Goku and Tien in the finals and even thought Goku fought as hard as he could but in the end Tien still beat him. Later on that day Goku realized that he left his power-pole and four star Dragonball in the waiting room of the tournament. When he did Krillin said that he would get them and that he would be right back.

"Hey Krillin be careful." said Zetheros. He didn't know what it was but there was something wrong. He could sense it. In the short time that they had been here Goku taught him and the other Saiyans how to sense powers instead of using the Scouter.

"Okay." said Krillin

So Goku and the others waited for Krillin to return but he never did. After a while they went out looking for him. They all searched for Krillin however it was Goku that found and what he found he wasn't happy about. Krillin was dead and his Dragonball was gone. Goku was enraged and he took off to find Krillin's killer ignoring his brother's calls

"Kakarot wait!" Zetheros yelled again. However Goku was long gone and he turned to Bulma and asked "Does he always do that?"

"Yes. But only when its his friends or he thinks someone isn't being treated fairly." said Bulma

"Just like Father and Grandfather."

"I guess he had to get it from somewhere." said Bulma

Goku looked for Krillin's killer and finally found him. However when he defeated him he found out that the real enemy was someone called King Piccolo. But when Goku faced him he was easily defeated for a Saiyan. Yajirobi, who he met before he fought Tambourine, suggested he train at Korin's tower for a few months and he did. After six months Goku once again faced King Piccolo. But this time he was better prepared and he defeated him. However before King Piccolo died he spat out another egg that would one day become the Piccolo that made friends with Goku's son, Gohan. After the battle Goku remembered that King Piccolo destroyed the Dragonballs after he had made his wish for eternal youth. Korin suggested that he go to Kami's Lookout and talk to Kami, the creator of the Dragonballs. So Goku left Korin's tower and flew on the Nimbus up to the Lookout for the first time. However when he got there he was shocked to find that Kami looked exactly like King Piccolo. Kami told Goku that in order to recreate the Dragonballs he had to spend three years training on the Lookout. Goku agreed and so his training began.

It had been three years since Goku's friends and family had seen him. It was the day of the World Tournament and everyone was there, including Krillin Tien Chiaotzu and Roshi. They were waiting for Goku to show when they saw the Nimbus. However the guy they saw riding it wasn't the same Goku that they had always known. To be honest they didn't even think it was Goku.

Suddenly the guy jumped down and landed in front of them. "Hey Guys."

"Goku? Is that really you?" asked Bulma

"Yep."

"Dang when Korin said that you were training he wasn't kidding." said Teara

"Well it looks like you haven't let up either Teara." said Goku smiling at his sister.

"Yeah well someone has to keep Akan and Kain in line since all they do is fight."

"Sounds like Zetheros and Cecil." said Goku looking over at his twin.

"Funny Kakarot." said Zetheros shaking his head. "I suggest if you're going to enter the tournament that you get registered. Everyone else already has."

"Right." said Goku suddenly serious. Zetheros noticed one thing that he had in common with him and his father he may be Saiyan and he may protect the Earth but he's still a Saiyan and Saiyans love to fight.

When the tournament began Goku was in the first match and the fighter he was facing was Chi-Chi although he didn't know it was her. After he won the match she told him who she was and reminded him of the promise that he had made to her when they were kids. He thought back and remembered that he promised to marry her and he told he that he would right after the tournament.

'Leave it to Kakarot to put fighting first and love second. He's defiantly a Saiyan' thought Akan.

After that the tournament continued until it was only Tien, Goku, Piccolo, and some mysterious warrior. Goku and Tien fought with Goku winning this time. And Piccolo or Majunior, beat the mysterious warrior which turned out to be Kami and was facing Goku. It was quick into the battle that they figured out that Majunior was Piccolo Jr., King Piccolo's son. Goku and Piccolo battled and finally Goku won. Kami offered him to come back to the Lookout to be the next Guardian of the Earth, but Goku refused saying that he was going to marry Chi-Chi like he promised and he called for the Nimbus.

Back in the present Raditz took Gohan and told Goku that in order to get him back he had to kill one hundred people. Shortly after Raditz left Piccolo showed up and said that they couldn't defeat him with out Piccolo's help. So Goku accepted his help and they took of to find Gohan and Raditz. When they found him however they found that he was too strong for them even together and they were the most powerful fighters on the planet as Goku's and Vegeta's other brothers went of into space to train for their battle with Frieza. And their sisters didn't really fight anymore.

"Piccolo do it!" yelled Goku as he held onto Raditz

"Don't be a fool Kakarot. His attack will kill us both!" Raditz yelled as Piccolo shot a beam through the both of them. It was after that Raditz told Piccolo that in one years time two more powerful Saiyans would arrive. Not knowing that his brothers were still alive and that he Vegeta Nappa and Goku weren't the only Saiyans like they had thought.

"Thanks to you we can train and prepare for it." said Piccolo

But can they really? He didn't know how much they could do without Goku there. But he knew they at least had to try and survive. And so Piccolo decided to train Gohan which would lead to a lasting friendship between the two. But could they actually defeat two more powerful Saiyans. Piccolo didn't know.
