DRAGON BALL Z... Except Not

CHAPTER 1: Feels Like I'm In a Video Game

Sixteen years from the present day...

Two Androids with strength beyond comprehension appeared out of nowhere...

One by one, the heroes of Earth were destroyed. It is the beginning of a new era on Earth...

... an era of darkness!

Two shadowed figures are seen walking away from a burning grocery store.

Trunks and Gohan are the last surviving descendants of a powerful alien race of warriors called Saiyans.

They may be the last hope for Earth!

But frankly, these guys can't even tie their own shoes.

So we're pretty much screwed.

Outside Pepper Town

TRUNKS: "This isn't fair. Gohan, why is the narrator insulting us?"

GOHAN: "You're pitiful, Trunks. You've let the narrator get on your nerves so much, you've forgotten about the androids!"

TRUNKS: "Sorry. It won't happen again."

GOHAN: "That's enough for now. Let's do some more basic training. Use your melee attack to destroy that boulder ahead."

Trunks and Gohan walk over to a rock.

GOHAN: "To use your melee attack, press the A button."

TRUNKS: "A button? Gohan, are you on something?"

GOHAN: "... Just break the rock."

Trunks punches the rock and breaks it.

GOHAN: "Good. Now use your energy attack to destroy that other rock. To use your energy attack, press the B button."

TRUNKS: "I'm not even going to ask this time."

Trunks shoots a ki blast at the rock and destroys it.

GOHAN: "Good. Now, as a Saiyan, you are most powerful in Super Saiyan form. To activate it, channel your ki into your muscles to turn your hair spiky and golden!"

Trunks tries to turn Super Saiyan, but it doesn't work.

TRUNKS: "It didn't work!"

GOHAN: "Channel your anger too! You have to realise the Androids will destroy all the food in the world!"

Trunks tries again. It still doesn't work.

TRUNKS: gets mad "WHY WON'T IT WORK?!"

GOHAN: "You probably just need a better motivation. But if food doesn't get you motivated, I don't know what will."

The ground suddenly shakes.

GOHAN: "It's the Andriods!"

TRUNKS: "How do you know that?"

GOHAN: "What other explanation is there?"

TRUNKS: "Let's go get them before they destroy the grocery store!"

GOHAN: kicks Trunks in the Dragonballs "You stay here!"

TRUNKS: passes out

When Trunks wakes up, Gohan is gone, it's raining, and there's a wierd symbol on the ground.

This is a flight circle. It lets you fly to new areas. To use it, stand on it and press the A button.

TRUNKS: "Just what are Gohan and the narrator on?" flies off

Pepper Town

The town is in ruins. Trunks wanders around and finds Gohan being assulted by ki blasts. Also, he's just standing there, not even trying to dodge them.

GOHAN: dies

TRUNKS: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-- breathe --OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" turns Super Saiyan

Present Day Earth. I don't remember what I'm supposed to say next. Something about Goku, I think.

Goku's Home

GOHAN: "Mom, is dad going to be home soon? He did beat Frieza, right?"

CHI-CHI: "Yes, Gohan. He'll be back eventually. Now do your homework."

GOHAN: "But, mom, I want to be a martial artist!"

CHI-CHI: "NO SON OF MINE WILL BE A IDIOT WHO ONLY KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT! NOW FIND YOUR MATHBOOK!"

GOHAN: "Fine."

Gohan goes upstairs and sees his mathbook on a table.

Use the A button to pick up and interact with objects you find.

GOHAN: "I think the narrator is on something."

Gohan goes back to his room and sits at his desk. He opens his mathbook and promptly falls asleep.

GOHAN: wakes up "Huh. The window's open. I'm gonna go out and play!"

Gohan tries to fly out the window, but he falls out instead and hits the ground, face-first.

GOHAN: "Oh God, the pain!"

East District 439

After recovering from his fall, Gohan goes to the front door of his house.

GOHAN: "That's wierd. It's locked." knocks "Mom! I fell out the window again!" waits "She's not answering. Darn it! I need a bandage!"

Gohan shoots a ki blast in fustration. It destroys a nearby rock. A piece of meat falls out.

GOHAN: "... Why was there a piece of meat inside a rock? Oh well." eats it

The meat heals Gohan when he eats it.

GOHAN: "I remember dad telling me once that eating a lot of meat was good for you, but I didn't think this is what he meant!"

Gohan wanders around and finds a capsule.

GOHAN: "I wonder who dropped this here." picks it up

You found a 1 Power Capsule! Capsules will permanatly boost the stats of the character you are curently playing when you use them.

GOHAN: "... Yep. He's definately on something. But if what he just said is true, I think I'll hang onto this for now. I'll use it later."

Gohan goes back to his house and sees a giant Capsule Corp. logo on the ground.

This is a save point. If you die or turn off the game, you can continue from here.

GOHAN: "... 'k." saves

What? No comment about me being on something?

GOHAN: "No. That joke's getting old."

Gohan continues walking around aimlessly when he finds a wooden wall with a big floating '1' on it.

This is a level gate. You can break it down, but you have to be the level of the floating number or higher. Also you need a certain character.

Gohan breaks it down and keeps going. He immediately sees another level gate. This one has a big floating '2' on it.

Gohan needs to be level 2 to break the gate.

GOHAN: "Crud. Guess I'll just go the only other way possible."

GOKU: appears out of nowhere "Oh, hi Gohan!"

GOHAN: "DAD! YOU'RE FINALLY HOME!"

GOKU: "Yep."

GOHAN: "So, did you beat Frieza?"

GOKU: "..."

GOHAN: "Well?"

Goku pulls down a zipper on his neck, revealing that he is really Frieza.

GOHAN: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

FRIEZA: "Y3S! I PWNED UR D4D! H3 W4S A N00B! N0TH1NG BUT A N00B!"

GOHAN: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

Gohan catches Frieza off guard with a barrage of ki blasts. He then pummels him to death.

FRIEZA: "OMG! J00 HAX!" explodes

Gohan has achieved level 2!

GOHAN: "Whoa! I beat Frieza! I BEAT FRIEZA!"

Gohan suddenly wakes up, hits his head on his desk, and falls out of his chair.

GOHAN: "Oh God, the pain!"
