Introduction Saga
It's been many years since the battle between our heroes and Majin Buu. The earth is enjoying peace and prosperity. But many still carry hatred towards those who have saved the universe. The universe it's greatest hero, Son Goku is still the strongest in the universe. But there are those who seek to destroy him, in the future they may come from all different corners of the galaxy, or even plains of existance. But for now Son Goku and his family and friends enjoy peace, Goku has almost finished training Uub to become the next protector of planet Earth. The hope of a future generation. Uub the reincarnation of Majin Buu. The demon that threatened the Universe, is now defending it's lifeforms.
But as Son Goku's efforts to train the next generation continue, an enemy from almost forgotten times. Times in which the Universe it's greatest protector was merely a child.
'Mai! Shu! Quickly get over here!' A small impish human with blue skin said as he climbed out of the cockpit ofhis aircraft. His henchman Mai and Shu looked like they had seen better days, but they where still with their master. The so called Emperor Pilaf. Who's face was full of wrinkles and who's wicked smile only bared a few remaining teeth. 'We're here my Emperor!' Shu the ninja dog said.
' Good, so this is the lookout of earth's Kami? Not bad! When I rule the world I will make this my residence!' The imp Pilaf declared as such and his two henchman quickly bowed before him. 'Now we have to be very careful, the servants of Kami are most likely patrolling this place. So let's get inside!' Said the aging beauty Mai. Shu was still confused as to why they would take the effort to reach this faraway palace. To which Pilaf explained the following, 'Isn't it obvious Shu? We've never been able to find any dragonballs anymore ever since that damn pig wasted my wish! Now I figured that Earth's Kami had to hide them up here. To protect them, but his efforts won't stop me the great Emperor Pilaf!' Shu started to applaud him, but this earned him a slap from Pilaf. After they had to be at least somewhat discreet around here.
'Alright my servants, search the Palace of Kami. I'm sure the Dragonball have to be around somewhere.' To which the two henchmen replied, 'Yes great Emperor!' As they scattered through the rooms of Kami's palace. And mind you the Palace of Earth's Guardian was certainly something to behold. It's many secret and hidden rooms harboring many secrets. Secrets from the previous guardians, but also those of Earth's forgotten histories. Even the old Guardian Namek who precursed the current Guardian, Dende. Had not known of all it's chambers and secrets. And now three earthlings where activly searching through the palace for it's secrets. It just so happens that Popo only frequented the chambers he knew off. While Dende was meditating in a sealed area, trying to improve his skills. Skills that only few Namekians had anymore. This gave Pilaf and his henchmen the time they needed. And their search soon payed of, as Shu found a room in which 7 magical balls lay bare. He quickly called in his superior and fellow henchman. And the little imp was exploding with joy, his theory had proven itself correct. And now he would become the ruler of the world! But… something was different about these balls, the stars! Yes the stars are different! But then again who really cares? 'Mai, Shu take the balls, I will summon the dragon outside!' And as commanded the two henchmen took the balls and ran to the plaza of the lookout.
As the imp Emperor and his henchmen called out the dragon the sky darkened, the balls started to emit light. And bolts of lighting came crashing down of the heavens. A massive red dragon emerged from the Black Star Balls. 'It's huge my emperor! Said Shu, to which Pilaf replied. 'I know Shu! It's much bigger than the one we summoned years ago.' Mai agreed and suggested that maybe the dragon that they summoned was a younger one, but before she could present this idea to her Emperor the dragon interrupted her. 'TELL ME YOUR WISH AND I SHALL GRANT IT!' the thunderous voice declared. Pilaf had been preparing for this wish for his whole life. And he wasn't going to waste it this time! He considered the two options he had pre chosen. Immortality or ruler of the world. Considering that with his genius intellect he could conquer the world anyway if given enough time. He wen't with the obvious choice. He shouted, 'Dragon! Grant me immortality!' The Dragon laughed, 'BEFORE YOUR WISH IS GRANTED, KNOW THAT THE EARTH WILL BE DESTROYED IF YOU DO NOT BRING THE DRAGONBALLS BACK TO EARTH WITHIN THE SPAN OF ONE YEAR!' Pilaf was shocked, 'No wait! How do I find them! I can't rule a world that no longer exists!' The imp and his servants shouted out cries of fear.
It was at that moment that Son Goku and his disciple Uub emerged from the Palace at high speed. Having felt the disturbance that the Black Star Dragonball caused they quickly stopped their training. They where followed by Dende and Popo, who where both in a state of shock. 'What kind of Shenron is that!' Screamed the Kami of Earth. Goku was suprised as well, but Uub who had never seen either Shenron was just trying to keep his jaw from dropping to the ground. Pilaf turned towards the group, 'No! Not you! You're that kid!' He pointed at Goku, who had trouble recognising the imp Emperor. 'Wait is that you Pilaf?' Goku's smiled broadly for a moment, then his look changed. 'Did you summon this weird Shenron?' His expression was stern and powerful, what one had come to expect from the savior of the universe. 'Ehm yes… You see! These two forced me to do so! I was trying to stop them but they made me do it! And then the dragon claimed that the earth would be destroyed in a year if I made a wish!' The small imp Emperor was producing more nonsense than possible, and Goku slowly walked towards him. Then he put his hand upon the head of Pilaf, and read his mind. Goku stood silent for a few moments, 'You fool, what have you done?!' Goku's face had changed, his normally gentle expression had turned into that of a stern and angry father figure. He then turned towards Popo, 'Could you pleaselock up this fool until we can solve this disaster.' Popo nodded and teleported next to the imp. Who quickly screamed, 'Dragon I accept! I accept! Now give me immortality!'. The Dragon spoke, 'VERY WELL! YOU HAVE HEARD MY WARNING, YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED! THE DRAGONBALLS WILL BE SPREAD ALL OVER THE NORTH GALAXY, FIND THEM WITHIN A YEAR OR PERISH!'
Pilaf started to glow, he could feel it! Immortality was his! But soon after the Dragon dissappeared. The Dragonballs where spread all over the North Galaxy. A vast area for anyone to travel through.
Dende then asked mr. Popo to lock up Pilaf for now. He then asked Goku to instant transmission his two henchmen to some village. Goku grabbed the two henchmen and was back within a few seconds. Uub had been watching the scenario unfold itself, he was quite shocked. The earth would be destroyed within a year! And he didn't even had a chance to protect it yet! Dende then spoke, 'Goku, Uub you must go to Bulma. She has the only spacecraft available on the planet. See if you can figure out something.' Goku regained his inner peace again and replied, 'Sure thing Dende, thanks for the training room! Seeya later!' And then he Instant Transmissioned to the Capsule Corporation.
Goku and Uub appeared within Vegeta's training room, which currently had it's gravity increased to 750 times earth gravity… Uub was immediatly pulled towards the ground and struggled to stand up. Goku however just moved a bit slower then usual. Vegeta was training in his base form. Though his Ki had been much greater a few moments ago. He had sensed Goku's or rather Kakkarots arrival and quickly dropped out of his SSJ3 form. Not wanting his old rival to know that he too had gained the pinnacle of Super Saiyan power. Goku casually walked towards the gravity controls and brought them down to normal gravity. Vegeta scuffed at this, 'What are you doing Kakkarot, I am training here. What reason do you have to just drop in like this!' Uub got up, embarrassed by his pitiful performance in the high gravity.'Goku Sensei, I think I might need to some gravity training in the future.' Goku cheerfully agreed, 'I know Uub, but that isn't important right now. Ehm Vegeta can you bring Uub to Bulma? And gather your kids as well. I will get my family and friends.' Vegeta growled and walked towards the door of his training room. When he reached the door he slowly turned around, 'Is the earth in danger?' he asked. Goku stared at him and then instant transmissioned to his own home.
A few moments later Goku returned with his two sons, his wife and granddaughter. And a gathering of his friends, including Krillin, Tien, Chaotzu and Yamcha. Bulma, Vegeta and Uub where already waiting on them in the garden. Trunks joined the group shortly after. Goku started to speak, 'So you guys, there is a bit of a problem. Someone has summoned some different form of Shenron. A Shenron with Black Star dragonballs. This person has made a wish upon the dragon. And the Dragon claimed that if we don't find these Black Star dragonballs within a year. The planet will be destroyed!'
Everyone was in shock, however Krillin was the first to speak, 'So wait what?! How is this even possible! Where did these new dragonballs come from?' The others recovered as well and demanded similar answers. Goku was a bit overwhelmed, he had previously asked Dende the same thing.
But the young Guardian didn't have much knowledge about many parts of the lookout yet. Goku was stumbling upon his own words trying to explain the situation. But then a figure emerged from the shadows, a tall green skinned humanoid walked forwards. It was the mighty Namekian Piccolo, or more relevant for this situation. The recombined essence of the Namekian Katas who landed on Earth hundreds of years ago.
Gohan and the others greeted the Namekian with bliss, to Gohan the Namekian had been a mentor. And to many others one of the greatest allies one could hope for. The Namekian spoke, 'These Black Star Dragonballs have been made by the Namekian I originally was. The memories of Kami and my father confirm this. They had been lost in time and obscurity, never been proven to properly work. But as it seems the balls had absorbed enough energy for this one wish in these last hundreds of years. It's a shame someone was able to find them.' Goku sighed with relief, he couldn't have explained the situation in a million years. 'Alright guys, I think the best thing we can do is get a spaceship and find those Black Star dragonballs!' Said Goku, the others agreed. But then the next problem arose, Bulma spoke. 'And how do you even hope to use the Dragonradar at such distances? I mean I could probably fix that in a month or so but still!' Doctor Briefs entered the conversation, 'Also how many of you want to go up there? I can maybe build a spaceship to accomodate 3 people for a year in a month tops. But if you want to go with more of you it will take time…' Vegeta then stepped forward. 'Well isn't it obvious who's going to go?! Kakkarot of course! He could have prevented this whole debacle! And while you're at it take my lazy son with you, some harsh galactic touring should do wonders for his training!' He pointed at Trunks who was staggering back to the house. But it was useless, Vegeta had already teleported behind him. Goku then said, 'Great idea Vegeta! And I think I know someone else who needs some extra training.' He then glared at Goten who was also trying to move away casually… Without any avail off course.
Then Pan jumped forward, the young daughter of Gohan and Videl was as energetic as ever. Still having that early Saiyan battle lust most hybrids showed in their early years. 'Grandpa I wanna go into space as well!' Goku smiled and looked at his son, Gohan who said. 'Sorry Pan, but you can't just not go to school for a year. Tell you what, if you stay I will help you with your training some more!' Pan's eyes began to shine as she heard this, but she quickly recovered from her enthusiasm. 'But I wanna go into space!' Gohan replied with a stern face, 'No Pan, and that's the last out of you!' Pan turned to her grandfather, but Goku agreed with his son. Even though he would love it if his granddaughter would join them.
Trunks and Goten had been plotting with eachother for a few minutes now. They didn't want to go into space! They had their lives back here on earth! Dates, parties, school… The duo then jumped forward, 'Hold on for just a second! If we all leave that means only Vegeta /dad could stand up to a threat like Maijin Buu! While we could fuse and beat up anyone with our SSJ3 powers!' Vegeta glared angrily at his son and Kakkarot's boy. Goku however understood the idea, and he would have letten them get away with it. But he had a better idea. 'Okay boys, I see your point. If you want to stay here that's fine. Ill take Uub with me.' He looked at Uub. 'Consider this your final examn' Uub's face lit up, he was obviously happy about going into space with his mentor. He had off course heard the stories of Freeza and his Empire. And wondered if he could get stronger out there. Goku then turned towards Goten and Trunks. 'You know boys, even if you may have the power of a SSJ3 when fused. I think there are others here that have something similar in their arsenal.' He looked at Vegeta who understood his intentions immediatly. 'Indeed runts, tell you what. If you stay on earth you have to train with me in the weekends and during any vacations you may have. Is that okay with you Kakkarot?' Goku nodded in agreement. Goten and Trunks already collapsed in pre-emptive exhaustion, Trunks especially knew how ruthless his father could be during training.
Vegeta spoke again, 'Oh and if you don't show up… I will make sure you'll regret it.' a sinister grin appeared on his face. Everyone had a laugh and with these essentials decided they would meet up again in a month. Then Goku and Uub would launch into space!
A month later Bulma and her father finished the construction of a ship similar to the one Goku used to travel to Namek. But this one was bigger and faster, their families gathered for their departure and Goku's granddaughter Pan sneaks on board with her luggage.
