Super Saiyan Saviour

by Quatermass

A year after the Cell Games, an argument with his mother leads to Gohan ending up in a vast underground world beneath Mount Ebott, where the Supreme Kai sealed them. But he has seen the monsters before, in dreams of a life of a misanthropic child who lived long ago. But will Gohan be the monsters' saviour? And will the Supreme Kai allow them to emerge?

1. Foreword

FOREWORD

I really have to stop these plot bunnies from copulating. This is getting ridiculous. And yet, it happens. I blame my newfound obsession with Undertale. I've done two crossovers beforehand: a one-shot with FEAR called Dum Spiro Spero, and a lengthier one with Final Fantasy X called What Lies Beneath.

I decided on doing a crossover with Dragonball Z, after a brief flirtation with doing a Harry Potter fanfic. I actually thought that the pacifist themes of Undertale fit in very well with Gohan, who's very much someone who doesn't like to hurt people if he can help it. Plus, the Dragonballs do have some potential in helping out certain characters of Undertale. And given that Gohan doesn't really get to be the hero of the Dragonball story as much as he should, well, I thought he'd be ideal here.

Incidentally, I didn't know until I had written the first six chapters that a writer called Yakuman had actually written an Undertale story where a four year old Gohan falls into the Underground. It's called Gohan in Underland, and it's marked as a pure Undertale story as opposed to a crossover. Just a warning: I had no idea this story existed until I had written those chapters. This story was originally called Gohan in the Underground, but to distance itself from that story, it is now called Super Saiyan Saviour.

Anyway, time for the usual disclaimers. Firstly, there will be spoilers for both Undertale and Dragonball Z. If you want to avoid spoilers for the former especially, don't read. This is also something of an AU for both, enough so that they fit into their respective universes.

Secondly, there will be heavy annotations, as is usual for my works. You have been warned.

Thirdly, this is an M-Rated work. There will be coarse language, violence, and dark themes. Again, you have been warned.

Finally, the following is a fan-written work. Undertale and Dragonball Z are the properties of their respective owners. Please support the official release. Otherwise, Undyne will turn you into a shish kebab…
