A/N: This is my first attempt at a Mystery Science 3000 format story, so send in constructive criticism. This will be a multi-part story, each part corresponding to a major arc in the Dragon Ball Z story. This will not feature filler episodes, but expect some stories to breach 100 chapters when I'm done here.

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Ball Z or Mystery Science Theatre 3000. I'm just borrowing the format for this story, and Dragon Ball Z is owned by Akira Toriyama.

Chapter 1: Everyone comes together! Let the reading commence!

There was a flash of light and several people appeared in a special room.

"Where are we?" A young boy with a monkey tail asked. He wore an orange gi with the Turtle Style Martial Arts insignia on it.

"I don't know, Goku." A similarly aged boy said. This one was bald and had six incense burns on his forehead. he wore a similar gi and had a halo over his head.

"KRILLIN!" Goku yelled as he ran over to the boy, embracing him in a heartfelt reunion.

Around those two were a very old man with a turtle shell on his back, a young man wearing a similar gi to the Goku and the bald boy, a blue haired girl wearing casual clothes, a blond haired girl, also wearing casual clothes but carrying a machine gun, A tall, bald man with three eyes and green pants, a small man with white and red face paint and a green and red hat on his head, a small, bipedal pig, and a cat that floated off the ground.

"Shush guys, there's a letter on the table!" A young girl said. This one was wearing a blue blouse under a white jacket with white shorts. She had long, blue hair. She picked up the letter and read it aloud:

"Dear everyone,

I have summoned you here to read about your future. These stories take place 8 or so years after current events, and will involve everyone here in some way. The first story will be arriving shortly, and will be about what will come to be called The Vegeta Saga. With any luck, you may be able to change the course of events to save many lives. But inversely, the actions you take after reading this and all the other stories we have for you may bring about Earth''s destruction. Once you finish reading everything, you'll be sent back to wherever you were before we transported you here.

Happy reading,

Pan.

Bulma stared at the assorted people. "Well, looks like we'll be reading some stories about our future. We better get started on the first book." At that point there was a second flash of light as a rather thick book appeared on the table labeled Dragon Ball Z: The Vegeta Saga. She picked it up and turned to the first page, which listed a table of contents. She turned to the page of the first chapter. "I'll read first. Chapter 1: The Return of Goku!"

To be continued...

A/N: This was my prologue chapter. I hope you enjoy it and tell me what you think.
