Dragon Ball Z: The Great War

Chapter 1: A Threat and the First Attack

Vegeta landed on Earth with a loud bang, and exited the pod. "Hm…so this is the planethuh?" said Vegeta in distain. He jumped out of the crater in which he stood, and looked around at the broad mountain range. BEEP! BEEP! His scouter rang detecting a high power level in distance. "Hm, I'm detecting an odd power level coming from the eastern direction. Maybe I will find a good fight before I have to evacuate this pitiful excuse for a planet. It may even be that Kakarot child from that third-class monkey Bardock."

Vegeta zoomed east towards the power level and found a green man meditating. "Who's there?" asked the green man. Vegeta landed, and activated his scouter. His power level is weak, he wouldn't stand a chance against even a third class saiyan, let alone King Cold's foot soldiers, thought Vegeta.

"I am Vegeta, prince of the race known as the Saiyans. I was sent here to evacuate this planet due to a planetary war against a tyrant known as King Cold. Either you follow my orders or you die, weakling." answered Vegeta aggressively. The green man chuckled at Vegeta.

"I follow orders from no one, as if I truly cared what happened to the people on this planet." replied Piccolo.

"I'll kill you for talking back to Me." said Vegeta shooting an energy blast at him in rage. The green man dodged and attacked Vegeta with two energy balls. Vegeta blocked them and did a high kick towards the green man's face, causing him to fly back.

"Destructive Wave!" yelled the green man, shooting a ball of what looked like lightning towards Vegeta, and hit him directly in the chest. The green man smiled victoriously, but hid frown quickly turned into an expression of surprise when he saw Vegeta without a scratch on his body.

"Was that supposed to be an attack, this planet is surely going to be in trouble if this is the strongest worrier they-"-BEEP-"I'm detecting a slightly larger power level coming from the south direction, farewell, I'm sparing you this time, but the next time you won't be so lucky." warned Vegeta flying away.

"Come in, come in Prince Vegeta." said a staticy voice, and he pressed a button on his scouter.

"This is Vegeta, what do you want?" asked Vegeta.

"We just got word that one of King Cold's commanders is on its way to your destination. Precede with-" before the saiyan could finish talking a loud explosion was heard, and the communication was disbanded.

"It looks like this is going to be harder than I thought," said Vegeta to himself. Eventually he stopped over a small island with a pink house with the name KAME HOUSE printed on its left side and then a group of people looked up at him in alarm as he landed on the beach.

"Who are you?" asked a man in an orange jump suit with black spiked hair, and young boy at his side. The scouter beeped and showed Vegeta his power level. His power level is only 330, just ten points above the green man from before, this must be Kakarot, thought Vegeta, looking at the rest of the group of the people. One was a very old man, while the other two were a light blue haired woman and a bald man also wearing an orange jump suite.

"Kakarot, do you not remember your Prince?" asked Vegeta shocked at his reaction to his arrival. Kakarot looked confused, and went in a fighting stance. The boy beside him looked on the verge of tears.

"I have no idea who you are, and frankly I'm not sure if I want to know." replied Kakarot.

"How dare you speak to me like that you third-class weakling? Bah! Never mind, I have come to warn you, and regretfully save your pathetic life. A race more powerful than mine is planning to attack this planet, one of its soldiers is on its way here now. You only have hours to have this whole planet evacuated or else this entire race or even planet will be obliterated." explained Vegeta.

"There is no way we can do something like that! We can't evacuate a planet in such a short time, let alone get enough ships to do so, how do we even know you are telling the truth?" asked the light blue haired girl.

Then the green man fell to his ground on the beach. "G-goku, he's telling the truth, the soldier is on his way here now, he's twice as strong as any of the enemies you may have fought in the past." said the green man, and then he fainted.

"N-no way, P-piccolo defeated this easily." said the bald headed man in fear and surprise. Kakarot looked over at Vegeta and then towards the green man.

"Krillin go get one of Master Roshi's spare sensu beans from the kitchen." said Kakarot.

"A-are you sure? I mean this is Piccolo we're talking about." said Krillin. Kakarot nodded his head, and Krillin went inside the house, and ran back out with a small bean in his hand, and put it in Piccolo's mouth. Piccolo opened his eyes and stood up.

"Goku, the soldier is extremely strong; my attacks didn't even faze him. It looks like the only way we can even remotely have a chance is if we join forces." stated Piccolo standing up. Vegeta nodded, and reluctantly agreed. Kakarot was hesitant and turned to Krillin and Mater Roshi, until a loud explosion and a flash of light came with a missing child and a destroyed house.

'Gohan! GOHAN!" yelled Kakarot worried and angry. The light blue-haired girl got up along with Master Roshi and Krillin. "GOHAAAN!"

"He took my son!" yelled Kakarot in anger.

"It looks like he's trying to lure us in." said Piccolo.

"Fools, you'll die if you try to fight him, we must wait until more saiyans come to my aid." said Vegeta, uncaring about the child that was taken.

"Fine you can stay here, but I have to go get my son." said Kakarot. "NIMBUS!" and then a gold cloud zoomed towards Kakarot, and he hopped on.

"Fools, it looks like I must come, my mission is to assure no casualties.

"Yeah, I'll come too, there is no way I'm going to let Goku die unless I am the one killing him." said Piccolo.

"Yeah, I can come too, you guys can just wish me back to life with the dragon balls." said Krillin.

"No we can't Krillin, we already brought you back to life a long time ago." said the light blue haired woman, and Krillin frowned, and looked a little depressed.

"Let's go." said Vegeta, getting annoyed by there talking. "Before I change my mind and kill you all myself." Everyone looked untrustingly to him, and then Piccolo, Kakarot, and Vegeta set out towards the formidable foe, with great ambition and little power.

"Tell me Kakarot, what are these dragon balls the bald man was talking about?" asked Vegeta curiously, as they were flying towards the enemy. Kakarot looked ahead.

"They are seven orange balls with starts according to their number, if you gather all seven you can summon the great dragon Shenron who will grant any wish as long as it isn't out of his power." answered Kakarot, and then he remained silent until they reached the other worldly villain.

They landed, and saw a fainted Gohan laying in front of them. "Gohan!" yelled Kakarot in worry. Gohan began to open his eyes and then he grabbed his father's arm. Kakarot grabbed his hand.

"D-daddy run, it's a trap!" yelled Gohan.
