Two hundred years ago, one of the most powerful villains the Z-Fighters ever faced, Majin Buu was destroyed by Son Goku, the Earth's Saiyan champion, with the all-powerful move known only as the Spirit Bomb.

Since then, many evil forces have tried to wreak havoc upon Earth but have all been destroyed, by the Z-Fighters, whose founder, Son Goku, takes a lead role.

Hirudegarn, Janemba, Beibi, Super Android Seventeen and the most powerful yet, Omega Shenron, the evil dragon crafted out of the evil Black Star Dragon Balls, which were created through the Seven Dragon Ball's wish over-uses by the people who used them.

Goku's great-great-great granddaughter, Pan's great-great-granddaughter begets Goku Jr., who is the Earth's most powerful hybrid human.

After going on a journey to bring wellness to his great-grandmother, Pan, who had a stroke and was hospitalized. She gives him the Four-Star ball and he hopes to make her well with a wish by finding all Seven Dragon Balls.

He meets Goku, his great-great-grandfather, after he is unable to gather the six, by tossing the ball to the side after pleading "Shenron" after it fails. Goku Sr. appears and tells him that he needs seven Dragon Balls to make a wish. Five years later...

Hercule Jr., the grandfather of Goku Jr. walks into the New World Tournament podium and the crowd goes uncontrollably crazy. He descends the great Hercule, hero during the time of Cell, the one who promised to destroy Majin Buu, and indeed helped in his destruction.

Hercule Jr. holds both arms up in fists and shouts, "Yeah!" The crowd can be visibly seen almost all holding up their arms, and shouting 'Yeah!' in unison, copying him. He is their hero, and with his grandson Goku Jr. behind him, Hercule now does somethingunlike his great-great-great grandfather, promoting someone other than himself.

"The New World Tournament this year is open! And this is everything you've been waiting for! The preliminaries! I, Hercule, wishes those of you here wish our current champion some good luck!" Goku looks up at the sky and notices a faint disruption of the flow of ki in the Earth.

Maybe it's another natural disaster...so... I hope. The young junior thinks. He wears a blue karate gi with the back cloth emblazoned with "孫 悟空 (Son Goku)" in thin Japanese characters, a white sash around the top and the bottom gi gear

He also sports a red headband which most likely represents the memorial of Bardock, father of Goku. On their wack back to the podium's elevator, Goku Jr. stares into space while

his grandfather wonders Those really weren't light shows... that was the real deal back then... I think my Grandpa Hercule was wrong.

Z TV's camera zooms in on the the two boys, Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr., both Saiyan hybrids. Goku charges power and his hair turns blond. Vegeta does the same. The golden power surges light up the arena- and the crowd, with an enormous amount of spiritual energy.

"This is amazing! What is going on?! The last time something like this was witnessed in the history of Z TV, urgh!" The reporter is blasted off camera by a wind wave.

The camera turns to his direction, only showing him holding on to the crowd barricade, some of aura eminating from these amazing boys!"

He says holding on to the edges of the the barricades for his life. the surprised crowd jumps back. He continues with his feet in the air, holding on to a Z TV channel station microphone in one hand. "...H-has to be around... a century ago! These two fighters' hair changed, the entire arena is filled with some type of golden aurora!"

"Hey, that's awesome! I didn't know we both could go blond!" Vegeta says to Goku Jr. as the heat of battle finally resumes.

That day was the best tournament in the the last few decades. The news has now gotten involved in the latest Tenkaichi Budokai. Heh... he's grown so much since then. That was the last time I saw him... I wanna see what new skills he's acquired. I wanna see what he's made of!

Goku notices his grandfather looking his way and he stares at him for a while.

"Huh, What is it, Junior?"

"What's wrong? Why were you dazed? You sure you're okay?"

Hercule smiles and gives Goku a thumbs up.

"Definently! Heh,heh,heh, yeah!" Goku Jr. stares at his grandfather for a while awkardly.

"...It's just... that I've noticed something about you. You've grown since then. How was your intermediate training with your grandmother?" Hercule says.

"It went really well. She was tough on me, now I have a huge arsenal of moves I want to try out during the tour!" Goku Jr. excitedly says.

"Ha! Good! Well, before you get crackin', I've arranged your own suite and guess what?"

Goku Jr. looks surprised. "What?"

"You got the place to yourself! Since this'll be the first all around tour, you need a place to stay at!"

"Uh, I don't know... I was gonna stay at my Grandma's!"

"C'mon!" Hercule starts. "Phone her, let her know and I'll take you straight there!"

"Alrighty..." Goku Jr. nervously responds.
