A Note from the Author:

Hi. Stucklord100 here. This story, Dragon Ball Z - The Ultimate Evil Saga, is one of my many DBZ fanfics that I have come up with. However, this is the first one that I have broken down into an entire saga, which consists of 46 total chapters. Most of my other works are movies that feature original characters. However, this saga contains the first villain that I have created that I actually wanted to go in-depth with. Each chapter is written like an episode of the show, so if you can use your imagination, you can probably picture what it would be like if it was a part of the show.

This saga is set exactly one year after Kid Buu was defeated by the Spirit Bomb. This saga was written as a precursor to the movie Battle Of Gods, and, as such, features spoilers for the movie, but only in the final chapter. The main villain of this saga is an original character named Elzarre, who is, as the title suggests, the ultimate evil. This saga follows the series canon for the most part, but sometimes will include characters from the various movies of the series. However, to accomodate for the storyline, one or two changes were made to the canon.

Also all the text in the story that is in bold indicates parts that the narrator would read in an episode.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this saga as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

Thanks for reading

Chapter 1 - Arrival

One whole year has passed since the defeat of Majin Buu. The past year has been a time of peace and prosperity, although, for Goku and his friends, it has also been a tough one. Knowing that the peace they fought for wouldn't last forever, the Z-Fighters continued to train. Now, with our heroes stronger than ever, a new chapter in Goku's story is ready to begin!

Hidden away, far to the east, lies Mt. Paozu, which also happens to be the home of Goku, his wife Chi-Chi, and his two sons, Gohan and Goten. Today, they are scheduled to go and visit one of Goku's greatest allies, and also his greatest rival, Vegeta.

Goku pokes his head down the hall and yells, " Come on everyone. We don't want to be late! Bulma will kill me if we're late!" "Coming dad!" comes the shout of his eldest son Gohan, from across the hall. Goten walks out, dressed in his fighting gi. "Why are you dressed like that Goten?" Goku enquires. "Well, Trunks and I are going to have a little competition again!" Goten answers enthusiastically. "And this time, I'm going to win!"

"And where is your fighting outfit, Goku?" Chi-Chi asks in a sarcastic tone. Goku, not fully understanding sarcasm, replies jubilantly. "Oh, I've got in on under this suit. Don't worry! I'm ready for a fight if anything comes up!" Gohan comes running out of his room wearing his best suit. On his face, he wears a pair of glasses. "Alright! Everyone ready?" Goku asks. "Do it dad!" Goten says excitedly. Everyone grabs hold of Goku, who raises two fingers to his forehead, and then they disappear.

. . . . . . .

Suddenly, they reappear, right in front of Capsule Corp, the home of Vegeta, Bulma and Trunks. "All here in one piece?" Goku checks to see if everyone is still with him. "Good. Because I'm starving!" Goku is just about to knock on the door, when it is flung wide by young Trunks. "Hey guys! You're finally here!" "You seem really excited Trunks." Gohan states. "Are you and Goten going to have another round to see who's the strongest?" "Of course!" Trunks states, with a cocky grin. Trunks walks them in to the greenhouse, where Bulma sits at a table, with beverages already set out. Goku scans the room, and notices Vegeta standing against a nearby tree.

"Hey everyone! How you doing?" Goku asks. "Well! Look who finally decided to show up!" Bulma jumps out of her chair, and walks towards Goku. "You could have visited earlier. I've been inviting you over for a whole year!" Bulma shouts accusingly. "Gee... Sorry Bulma. It's just that I've been so busy with training, that I haven't had time to!" Goku laughs. "So, you have been training. Good to know, Kakarot!" Vegeta says, as he walks towards the group. "Vegeta! How are you going?" Gohan asks. "Good. How about you?" Vegeta replies. "Great! I've really been studying hard this past year. But, I've been training just as hard as I've been studying!" Gohan answers.

Suddenly, Gohan's watch begins beeping like crazy. "What is that infernal racket?" Vegeta asks. "Hehe... Sorry everyone. That's Videl. I'll be back in a moment!" With that, Gohan heads into the main house. Goten and Trunks step in, and Trunks is the first to speak. "Goten and I are going to have our fight!" "Okay, but remember, make sure you're a safe distance away from the city, okay?" Bulma reminds them. "We don't want a repeat of the last time!" Trunks and Goten go bright red as they recall that 'last time', they accidentally destroyed a whole building. "Don't worry! We won't do that again!" Goten replies. With that, the two boys go running out of the building and take to the skies.

. . . . . . .

Gohan has entered the lounge room, which is completely void of people. He pushes a button on his watch, and Videl's face pops up on it. "Hey Gohan!" Videl states. "Hope I didn't catch you at a bad time. How are you?" "Good. I'm good. We've just not long arrived at Bulma's." Gohan answers. "I think that Vegeta's a little mad at me though. I think he called the noise that the watch made 'an infernal racket'!" "Haha. Well, that's Vegeta for you." Videl replies. "So, how have you been? I haven't seen you in a week." Gohan asks. "Well, it's been a bit hectic here. I've been finishing up my studies. I'm on my final essay now. When I'm done, I promise that we'll spend some time together, just you and me." Videl responds.

. . . . . . .

Goten and Trunks are soaring through the sky as they head far enough away from West City. "Hey Goten! That place looks good! Let's have our match over there!" Trunks shouts. "You bet!" Goten replies. The two boys land, and take their ready positions. "Same rules as last time?" Trunks asks. "Yeah!" replies Goten. "Ready?" "Ready!"

Trunks kicks off hard from the ground, and hurtles towards Goten, who does the same. The two boys meet in the middle, and both manage to avoid the other's punch. They both jump back, and then shoot off into the sky. Goten comes to a sudden halt, and yells "Take this!" Energy blasts explode from Goten's outstretched palms, and soar towards Trunks.

Knowing that he can't dodge them all, Trunks lets out a mighty yell, and a golden aura appears around him. His hair stands on end, and has become a golden blonde. The energy blasts make contact with Trunks, but they don't seem to phase him. "Hah! You're not the only one who can go Super Saiyan!" Goten remarks, and he too transforms.

. . . . . . .

A small, round, metallic ball can be seen hurtling past the moon, and entering earth's atmosphere.

. . . . . . .

Immediately, as the ball enters the atmosphere, Trunks, Goten, Goku, Vegeta and Gohan can sense the extreme power that emanates from the pod.

"Whoa! That's one strong power!" Goku remarks.

"It's strange... That power... Feels familiar to me... But how?" Vegeta thinks.

"I'm sorry Videl. I'm going to have to talk to you later. Something's wrong." Gohan tells Videl.

The two boys cease their match, as they watch the ball plummet down to earth. It lands with a deafening crash, creating a giant crater around the landing zone. As the dust settles, the pod opens, and out hops a man who bears a striking resemblance to Goku. "So. This is planet Earth..." the mystery man remarks.

Just who is this mystery man? And why has he come to Earth? What is it about him that feels familiar to Vegeta? Discover all the answers, in the next exciting chapter of Dragon Ball Z!
