Dragon Ball Z: The Earthland Saga
Author's Note: I got this idea when I was rewatching the "Key of the Starry Sky arc", and wondered what would happen if Natsu and the gang were searching for the Dragon Balls instead. Then, I realized that if Dragon Balls exist in Earthland, then Frieza would want it, then Earthland could replace Namek, and then finally I decided to to write about it. Yay!
Disclaimer: I do not own Dragon Ball or Fairy Tail. Both are owned by their respective owners. Plus, I'm a teenager with no income, so how could I own two of the most popular anime of all time?
Chapter 1- Magic, Ki, and a Space Hitler
In a multiverse far, far away from ours, there exists 12 universes, created by a 3-foot tall super-powered being with the mental capacity of an eight-year-old. However, we won't get to that story until much later.
For now, we'll focus on the 7th Universe.
There exists two planets: The Planet Earth, and the world of Earthland.
Only 5,472 light-years away from each other, both of the planets have seven mystical items called "Dragon Balls". It is said that, when all seven are gathered together, a huge dragon will rise into the sky and grant any wish you desire.
And right now, a lot of people want them.
On Planet Earth, a scientist with a last name of "Briefs" was creating a spaceship with coordinates to Earthland, in order to get the Dragon Balls and revive his fallen comrades.
"Honey, what are you doing outside?" His name is Dr. Briefs, the richest and most popular person on Earth. His daughter, Bulma, is going to head out on the mission to Earthland with Gohan, Goku's son with a mind of Einstein and the strength of an erupting volcano. When he's angry, at least.
She was also going to Earthland with Krillin, but I don't really need to say anything about Krillin.
"Oh, sorry honey, my mistake!" Dr. Briefs' wife-who for some reason always had her eyes closed-, said apologetically.
"Remember honey-"
"Wives are for kissing, not talking!" Both of them said at the same time, laughing afterwards.
Over in West City's finest hospital, lay a certain spiky-haired Saiyan with bandages all over his body. His doctor was accompanying him, along with his master and a flying blue cat (AN: No it's not who you think it is) "I'm sorry, uh, Gaw-koo? You probably won't be back to full health for another month, at the very least. Whatever mission you were supposed to go on, well, I'm afraid you can't."
"Aw man, this sucks. I really wanted to go to Earthland. There's probably a lot of strong people there!"
Skipping on over to Earthland, in a certain kingdom of Fiore, there exists a magical wizard guild in the large city of Magnolia, who were just minding their own business.
By business, I mean beating the heck out of each other. Why? Because that's how Fairy Tail is, dammit!
"Get back here with my underwear, flamebrain!" The person who yelled was a young man by the name of Gray Fullbuster. He's a wizard who specializes in Ice-make magic. And currently...he was literally nude.
"Y'know, I would have only pants'd you if you didn't take off your clothes, you stripper!" This young man is Natsu Dragneel. He's a pink-haired Fire Dragon slayer, and thankfully does not specialize in stripping.
"YOU SQUISHED MY STRAWBERRY CAKE! I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU REGRET IT!" This redhead is Erza Scarlet, a requip wizard who is currently one of the strongest members of Fairy Tail. She also has a fondness for strawberry cake, which...pretty much explains itself.
Natsu and Gray immediately stopped bickering and bowed their heads in apology. "I'm sorry, Erza! Please don't hurt us!"
"Jeez, we just got revived after seven years and you're already fighting?!" Finally, we have Lucy Heartfilia. She's a celestial wizard-wizards whom summon spirits to their beck and call. She was hiding in the corner of the guild hall, trying not to get in the way of the brawl unfolding before her. I feel at home, at least. Hopefully nothing else bad happens. Acnologia was bad enough, anyway. What's next, aliens?
In deep space, a certain purple alien heard of the news of the Dragon Balls.
"Zarbon, how long will it take to get to this, "Earthland"?" The tyrant calmly asked, staring out the window of his circular spaceship.
"It should only take a few weeks, sir. Your men are setting the coordinates to the planet as we speak."
"Ah, very good. How many men do we have?"
"As it looks, about thousand."
"One thousand will have to do. When we get there, I want to search for the 'Dragon Balls' myself, and I want you and Dodoria to assist me."
"As you wish...Lord Frieza."
And on Frieza planet 79, Another spiky-haired Saiyan had just recovered from his battle with Kakarot on Earth, and had just received news that Frieza was setting a course for-
"-The Dragon Balls?! How the hell does Frieza know about that?!"
"Um…" One of the doctors struggled to speak to the superior Saiyan in front of him. "He actually heard it from your group when you landed on Earth."
"What? Impossible! I had my transmitter off the entire time! How could he possibly-!"
He finally realized who was responsible.
"GOD...DAMMIT, NAPPA!"
Three weeks later…
"So, are you sure this is ready to fly?" Krillin said enthusiastically. It was actually a decent day today. He didn't die from the Saiyans, which is a first, he was chosen to go on the mission to Earthland instead of Goku-who was injured-, I'm still counting that as a first!, and finally, he took out a life insurance policy of about 5 million zeni and gave it to his twin brother, so if he ever died and came back to life, he would be rich!
Bulma Briefs, who was already wearing a spacesuit, was for some reason a bit grumpier than usual. "Uh huh. Everything's fixed except for the toilet."
"Wait, then how can we-"
"You do realize you can just go in an airlock and open it, right?"
"Oh...right. Anyway, Gohan, are you ready?" the bald monk turned to the demi-Saiyan beside him.
"Yep! I just managed to escape from Mom before she could give me a haircut or a bunch of books!" Gohan smiled. He didn't really like the books he owned-they were boring to him. He much rather just look up fanfictions on the internet. Also, he hated haircuts. The Hybrid Saiyan liked his hair long and wild. "We're going now, right Bulma?"
"Uh huh." the bluenette started marching toward the open door of the ship. "Get in, or I'll leave you here."
"Oh, um, okay." Krillin and Gohan turned to each other, a bit confused, but followed the woman's orders anyway.
As soon as they got in, Bulma was already strapped to her seat. "Put your stuff wherever, then sit down and shut up."
"O-okay." Gohan set down his spare gi on a nearby bench. "Bulma, are you sure you're oka-"
"WHAT DID I SAY?!"
"Ah! Okay, jeez…" Gohan quickly strapped into his seat, Krillin following suit.
There was at least fifteen seconds of silence before Krillin finally broke the tension. "So..how does this thing take of-"
"Popo."
"AHHHH!" Suddenly the ship burst up into the air, escaping the atmosphere and Earth's gravity in literally seconds. Only five minutes later, and they were in deep space.
Earthland, Age X791
As literal chaos and fighting occurred around her, Carla stood still. The Exceed's eyes shrunk as a premonition flashed before her eyes.
"Argh…" Before her lay the whole Fairy Tail guild; Lucy, Erza, Gray, Macao, Jet, Droy, Happy, everyone was unconscious. Natsu and Gildarts were the only ones still standing, Makarov and Laxus were nowhere in sight. "Damn...you…" Natsu punched the ground, fire forming around his hands.
"Stay...out of this, Natsu. This is my fight." Gildarts brought up an arm in front of Natsu.
Before both of the winded wizards stood across a purple and white alien with horns on his head. He wasn't tall at all, but the power coming off him was beyond anything Natsu or Gildarts could imagine.
"Dammit, Gildarts, let me help you-"
"No! Natsu, you'll die! This guy feels twice as strong as both of us combined; and it seems like it isn't even a fraction of his true strength…"
"Eheheh. So this is the strongest person on the planet huh? How disappointing." The alien brought a finger up to the wizard and fired a beam of purple light. It was nothing like anything Carla had ever seen.
"Gildarts! Look out!" Natsu rushed in front of him, the beam heading straight towards the Dragon Slayer's heart. It came closer and closer, and then…
"CARLA! WAKE UP!" Carla shot her eyes open, only to see Wendy above her, casting a healing spell on her. "Are you okay?"
"Yes...I'm alright…" The exceed murmured.
"You screamed and passed out of nowhere, so we tried to heal you as fast as we could." Gray explained.
"What's wrong, Carla? You seem a little down." Happy said, "Want a fish to make you feel better?"
"I...had another vision."
"What?! Seriously?!" Everyone's eyes widened, "What happened in the vision?"
"Fairy Tail...it will fall…to a tyrant from the skies."
Meanwhile, Lord Frieza was currently on a skype call with a purple man with horns on his head. "And if anything goes downhill, I'll let you know if I need assistance."
"Alright, my men and I will head over if you need help. Right now, We'll proceed with our mission to take over this planet. This 'Remnant' place is pretty weird. Everyone has guns on their weapons." The figure started to digress before Frieza cut the transmission. Suddenly, Zarbon entered his quarters.
"Lord Frieza, I just received word that the average power level on Earthland is 100."
"A power level of 100, you say?" I probably don't even need their help...Frieza scoffed. The average power level of his men was 2,000, and Zarbon and Dodoria's were at least 24,000 each. He really had nothing to worry about. "Finding the Dragon Balls will be easier than I thought."
After the initial shock from Carla's news, the guild finally started to recover.
"'It will fall to a tyrant in the skies'? What does that mean?" Erza asked inquisitively.
"The tyrant's name...Lord Frieza...He'll come with a thousand soldiers, and all of Fairy Tail, no, the whole country of Fiore, will fall before him!"
"WHAT!?" Lucy jumped back in surprise, "Damn, we just came back from a 7-year sleep and we're already dealing with genocide? What luck we have…"
Natsu, however, took the news with vigor, "Whatever that guy is, I'll burn him to a crisp!"
"No…" Carla trembled. "I saw it...Natsu...you got shot in the heart."
"HUH?! I DIED!?" Even Natsu started shivering.
Natsu was defeated by this Frieza guy?! Lucy screamed in her head, How strong is he?!
"Yes. In fact, everyone here will cease to exist. Even Gildarts couldn't last very long."
"If Gildarts died against them, then we're going to be in trouble if we don't do something." Makarov chimed in.
"Makarov!" Mirajane said anxiously, "What do we do?"
"If what Carla said was true, then all of us will have to train as much as we can until this 'Frieza' comes. His thousand-man army will be a bit of trouble, as well."
"You heard the old man, we're gonna train!" Natsu bashed his fists together. "And when this Frieza guy gets here, we're all going to beat the crap out of him! Who's with me?!" A cheer erupted from the guild hall, and the low morale that was upon the guild was washed away.
"I don't know…if...no, when Frieza comes…" Carla murmured, "Gr...why are people so optimistic? I've lost hope; this might be the end of the world."
Earth, Age 762
"Yes! I'm back to full health! Thanks for the senzus, Yajirobe." the Saiyan, now back into his regular gi, gave a thumbs-up to his friend.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, it's no big deal. I'm gonna go back to Korin's." Yajirobe turned to the door, and left as fast as he came.
"Well, it seems you're going to Earthland, now." Master Roshi guessed.
"Mhm! I'm going to go and help my friends! Besides, they probably need it."
"Krillin?"
"Krillin."
"Well, I'm going to go now. See ya, Master Roshi!" He jumped out of the window, Nimbus catching him as he fell.
Roshi's eyebrows furrowed. "Be careful, Goku."
