Overview[]
The Dragon Ball in the desert
The Z Fighters regroup there in Age 764, after they sensed Frieza heading towards Earth, along with another high power level. When Frieza and King Cold land here, they are confronted by a mysterious youth, who easily destroys Frieza, King Cold, and King Cold's soldiers. A few hours later, Goku lands on the Northern Wastelands too, and Future Trunks tells him about the Red Ribbon Androids. In Age 779, 14 years after the death of Frieza, King Cold and their soldiers by the hands of Future Trunks, Sorbet and Tagoma went to this location that Frieza was killed in, in order to revive him, using a wish from the Earth Dragon Balls collected by the Pilaf Gang. They successfully revive Frieza, and Frieza later ventures to Earth, with his army of a 1,000 soldiers, to exact his revenge against Goku, after training for 4 months in preparation for battle.
