Age 750

The Red Ribbon Army is single-handedly destroyed by a young Goku. A vengeful Dr Gero retreats into his hidden lab and dedicates himself to the research of artificial humans in the hope of creating an android/cyborg that could kill Goku.

Sometime afterwards, Dr. Gero voluntarily robotises himself via a brain transplant performed by Android #19.

Age 764

Frieza and King Cold land on Earth with heinous plans whilst Goku remains far in space. Vegeta takes out Frieza's men and Goku uses "Instant Transmission" to confront Frieza. The Z-Fighters win the battle.

Age 766

Trunks is born. Goku dies of a heart virus sometime around November.

Age 767

Androids #17 and #18 emerge and dominate the planet, eventually killing all remaining Z-Fighters except Trunks.


These are the events that lead to the production of the "time pod", a time machine manufactured by Bulma in the hope that altering the past may procure a "better" future. But it was soon established that, due to the multiverse theory, this was not possible. Instead the production of a time machine only introduced more timelines.

This fanfiction will narrate the story line of an augmented reality uninfluenced by interdimensional being(s) nor by the production of a time machine.


Age 750

The Red Ribbon Army is single-handedly destroyed by a young Goku. A vengeful Dr Gero retreats into his hidden lab and dedicates himself to the research of artificial humans in the hope of creating an android/cyborg that could kill Goku.

Sometime afterwards, Dr. Gero attempts to robotise himself via a brain transplant - the operation fails leaving Android #19 masterless but not without a purpose.

Age 764

Frieza and King Cold land on Earth with heinous plans whilst Goku remains far in space. Vegeta takes out Frieza's men and Goku uses "Instant Transmission" to confront Frieza.

Android #19 appears and abruptly kills King Cold. Frieza, Tien and young Gohan are killed in battle. Android #19 is eventually defeated.

Following the fight, Bulma salvages data from the destroyed Android #19 which reveals Dr Gero's plans and the locations of his laboratories.


Bulma suggest destroying the remaining androids whilst they are yet dormant.

Due to trauma from the battle with Android #19, Goku and Vegeta are unable to dismiss Bulma's suggestion.


The Z-Fighters locate and destroy Dr Gero's laboratories, killing fetal Cell in the process. The remains of all other androids, and relevant blue prints, are brought to Capsule Corporation for further research as per Bulma's request.

Piccolo uses the dragonballs to wish young Gohan back to life. Tien decides to remain in the afterlife to learn the Kaio Ken under King Kai.

Piccolo, Goku, Vegeta and Gohan decide to train in the hyperbolic time chamber for three years (which is three days in real-time) in case they are faced with yet another overwhelming power. In the hyperbolic time chamber, both Vegeta and Gohan attain the level of a Super Saiyan much earlier than anticipated.


In the original DBZ story line, Goku contracts a heart virus two years (ages) following Frieza's first appearance on Earth.

In this augmented reality, he spends the time otherwise leading up to that date in the hyperbolic time chamber and consequently contracts it within the same year.


Goku contracts a heart virus and dies soon after. As a result, Goten is never born. The Z-Fighters incorrectly determine the heart virus to be a side-effect of the hyperbolic time chamber and discontinue its use. Goku also decides to remain in the afterlife to train under King Kai.

Krillin begins independent research into the sacred water and ultra-divine water on Kami's lookout. Yamcha and Chiaotzu retire from martial arts. Soon after, Vegeta borrows a spaceship from Capsule Corporation to train alone on other planets.

Age 766

Sometime around March, Vegeta returns from training to gather supplies and refuel the spaceship before heading out again.

Trunks is born sometime around December.

Age 767

Krillin discovers the source of the sacred and ultra-divine waters but not the location. Upon questioning, Korrin refers Krillin to Master Roshi. When confronted, Master Roshi responds with "the two waters were gathered, over long periods of time, from the moist of the atmosphere surrounding the fountain of youth. Drinking directly from the fountain will bless you with immortality but its discovery must be by one's own journey or it shall otherwise be fruitless".


More accurately, drinking directly from the "fountain of youth" will halt aging and nullify natural death which explains why Roshi is still alive and healthy after so many years.


Age 768

Krillin locates the "fountain of youth" and becomes immortal after drinking from it, he then realises why Master Roshi kept the fountain's existence secret; the fountain is Earth's very essence, every sip from it abridges the Earth's lifespan. Krillin then returns to his old dojo and dedicates himself to the Martial Arts.

Sometime afterwards, adolescent Gohan gradually retires from Martial Arts and meets Videl in high school.
