Introduction to my fanfic!

Welcome to the world of Dragon Ball as you've never seen it!
In this universe, the story has unfolded in a completely different way from the manga and anime.

The Saiyans were a treasure-hunting species that lived not long ago, pillaging each and every planet they could find.
That would soon change when the sinister Dr. Gero made his appearance. Gero researched the Saiyans and discovered the plans of the deceased King Vegeta. Their plans would eventually lead them to the Planet Earth, putting himself in danger.
After his shocking discovery, Gero sent an army of small, bug-like creatures known as the Cell Army to wipe out the Saiyan race on their very homeworld. The Saiyans, despite being known as the strongest species in the universe, stood little chance against Gero's army.
That brings us to Earth in the year 2520. Goku, a Saiyan himself, fights for the people of Earth while Dr. Gero remains in hiding as he has for 20 years. Meanwhile, the Z-Fighters, Goku's allies, aid him in defending Earth against any evils that appear.

"Assault"

[Goku, the hero of Earth born as a Saiyan on Planet Vegeta. Z-Fighter.]
[Gohan, the son of Goku born and raised on Earth. Z-Fighter.]
[Piccolo, the second mentor of Gohan, born on Planet Namek. Z-Fighter.]

In seemingly the middle of nowhere, a small army of little bug-like creatures appear and begin attacking the Z-Fighters. Goku starts making guesses as to who these things are. "They've gotta be mutated flies. Or maybe wasps. Or... beetles?"
Annoyed, Piccolo tries to stay on the subject. "Why don't we just focus on beating them, and you can figure out what they are later, when I'm not here?"
"Fine, fine," Goku replied disappointed. "But who sent them here?"
"More like who is sending them here," said Gohan. "Every time we get rid of one, they come right back within ten seconds!"
"I can fix that problem," Piccolo said through a smirk. He then began charging ki, and shortly after released a massive explosion-like burst of energy, blowing everything and everyone around him away. "Before you ask, I might consider teaching you that sometime."
Out of nowhere, a voice started talking. A rather high voice at that. "That'd be almost as good as leaving some action for me every once in a while!" The voice was none other than Pan. "It'd be something really nice to do."
[Pan, daughter of Vegeta, born and rasied on Earth. Z-Fighter.]
"Sorry, Pan, but you just gotta get here sooner!" Gohan sheepishly admitted, almost as an excuse. Pan replied, "Well, excuuuse me, but I haven't mastered flying." Goku then put his hand on Pan's shoulder to encourage her. "We can carry you next time if you want. How's that sound?"
Suddenly another voice intruded in. "So sad. Is the poor little Saiyan feeling left out? Don't you worry. I will put you out of your misery right now!" As the voice was speaking, a figure walked out to reveal itself as Dr. Gero, who had finally come out of hiding.
Goku cautiously walked towards Gero. "May I ask who you are?"
The doctor immediately fired a Ki blast at Goku, who deflected it away. "It would be pointless to tell you as you are about to die."
Gohan then asked, "What do you want with us? What did we do to y-- Oh, never mind. It's those weird bug things, isn't it?"
"OF COURSE IT'S THOSE WEIRD BUG THINGS!" the doctor yelled. "Those are my creations, the Cell Army: composed of thousands of Cells, they will be unstoppable under the proper leadership in the field. And I obviously can't have you getting in the way of my plans."
Dr. Gero proceeded to charge and fire several giant blasts of Ki at the Z-Fighters, while keeping a crazed, maniacal look on his face. "MUAHAHA! NOW do you see?! NOW do you feel my TRUE POWER?! This is the limit!! BEYOND THE LIMIT! I AM THE STRONGEST IN THE UNIVERSE!!"
He ceased fire, and after the smoke cleared, Gero found a green hand grabbing his shoulder. "So..." Piccolo said, as he seemingly appeared from nowhere. "That all you got?" The other three Z-Fighters also flew down from above. "You're not very nice, are you, gramps?" said Pan.
Gero's eyes could see, but his mind could not comprehend. He then turned around and stormed off into the distance. "Fine. I will add these calculations to the database and continue my ultimate project," he said.
Piccolo stared curiously at Dr. Gero, and couldn't help but ask. "What might that 'ultimate project' be?"
Gero continued to walk away. However, he stopped briefly to reply, "Let's just say the Cell Army is imperfect." After saying this, he disappeared in a flash of light along with the defeated Cells.
Goku looked at the ground while thinking. "What do you think he meant?" he said. Piccolo replied, "Bah, who knows? We'll just wait him out." "I suppose. In that case, let's go train!"
Gohan's stomach growled. "Can we get some dinner first? I'm starving..." he said.

The first encounter with Dr. Gero proved to be fateful, and there is much more yet to come. Will the evil scientist's ultimate plan be enough to defeat the Z-Fighters? Only time will tell. Meanwhile, the evil tyrant Frieza has set his sights on the Planet Earth, and his army with him. What will the outcome be of these upcoming dangers? Come back next time for Dragon Ball Universe #2 to find out!

DRAGON BALL UNIVERSE #2 | Chapter 1: Dr. Gero Saga

"Strength of a Prince"

[Dr. Gero, evil scientist, creator of the Cell Army. Unaffiliated.]

The mysterious doctor dragged back into his hidden lab, bringing many of his defeated Cells along with him.
"(How could this be?)" he thought to himself. "(My Army, defeated by a few mere Earthlings and a Namek! They will surely pay when I return...)"
Little did Gero know, the Z-Fighters are far from mere Earthlings.

Elsewhere, in a desert in the middle of nowhere, two strange alien soldiers scout the territory.
"How long do we have to do this, again?" one of them moaned.
"Until Lord Frieza has enough information!" the other yelled. "Keep your voice down, you know he can hear us!"
As fate would have it, Frieza did hear them. "Cease your insistent bickering before I make you."
Both soldiers yelped, "YES LORD FRIEZA! WHATEVER YOUR COMMAND LORD FRIEZA!"
Frieza simply chuckled from his space pod.

A few minutes of exploration later, someone appeared in front of the two soldiers.
"Eh?" said the first soldier as he examined the shadow. "Who are you? I thought there were no ki readings here!"
The figure suddenly shot a beam through the first soldier. "Think again," it said.
The second soldier could do nothing but whimper and shake. His comrade had been killed in one blast! Who could have that much power, or even those kinds of powers?!
"Wh-who are you?!..." he said, taking a few steps back.
The cloud over the sun moved, and the shadow cleared, revealing the figure as none other than Vegeta!
[Vegeta, rogue Saiyan elite, father of Pan. Unaffiliated]

"Tell me something before I kill you." Vegeta said.
"Kill me?... Oh, that won't be happening over here!" the soldier said confidently. He then proceeded to charge towards Vegeta and launch a burst of ki to his torso. "HAHA, HA HA, HAAAA! Take that, you nosy, spiky-haired..." His speech began to wear down as the smoke cleared. "...dumb, annoying... Earthling?"
Vegeta, unscathed, glared at him. "That's Prince Vegeta to you, scum."
Suddenly a massive explosion enveloped the landscape. The only one in one piece was Vegeta.

In Frieza's pod drifting in space, a soldier reported in.
"Lord Frieza, I regret to inform you that our two scouts on Planet 4032-877 have been terminated."
Frieza didn't open his eyes and simply asked, "By who?"
"We're not certain, but it may be the missing Saiyan King."
Now Frieza's eyes opened. This caught his interest. "I must know more," he said.

Back on Earth, in Goku's house, him and Gohan ate ravenously. Gohan's kid brother Goten was standing by. "I'm glad you guys don't eat like this all the time. That would be seriously annoying..."
"So?" Goku said, stuffing his face. "You and your mom make the best food! If you want us to eat normally, stop making such amazing stuff!"
Gohan just gave a thumbs-up. "Speaking of which," he said, "where is Mom?
"Oh," Goten replied, "she's out getting food for Pan. She says Vegeta is a bum and needs to get a job to take care of his daughter."
"Harsh," said Goku.
"Yeah, well... I'm just glad you guys are back home! I'm still wondering about what those Cell things are, and where they came from."
After eating all the food off his plates, Gohan said, "We'll have to try finding that Dr. Gero guy and see if he knows more. He mentioned an 'ultimate creation' of some sort.
Goku finished eating as well, and got ready to head out. "I don't see why we don't start looking now. Eating is important, but let's face it. There are other things that need more attention." He walked out the door, grabbing a cupcake on the way.
Gohan and Goten just stared.
"What? Dessert!"

Vegeta has appeared on the scene, and a group of the Z-Fighters heads out to find Dr. Gero! What will these new developments mean for the future? Will the Z-Fighters meet with Vegeta? When will Frieza arrive on Earth, and will the heroes be prepared? Come back next time for Dragon Ball Universe #3!

Feedback is appreciated, and I'd love to know what you have to say!
