A/N: I do not own Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Z Kai, Dragon Ball Super, or Dragon Ball GT. I will however use those in this 4 part fanfiction series.
Saiyan's Pride of Dragonball
Prologue
Twelve years ago an old bald man wearing black clothes with a brown vest and a green cap over his bald head was searching through the woods when he came across a baby boy with black hair that had four spikes on the right and three on the left and a monkey tail wearing what looked like a damage ear and eye piece machinery.
The old man was Gohan and he soon adopt the baby as his grandson and named the child Goku and kept the technology he found Goku with hidden until he can figure it out, hoping it might have some clues to Goku's heritage once fixed.
It wasn't easy raising Goku at first, as the child had proven to be wild and ill-tempered, throwing anything he didn't approved at his adopted grandfather, and refused to stay in his carrier when they traveled.
At first Gohan thought it was just Goku being a stubborn child, but in reality Goku was following his true nature. See, Goku wasn't your typical child with a monkey tail, but rather an humanoid alien race called the saiyans send to earth to destroy it. And the reason for his behavior was that he was aware of his mission as the only way for a Saiyan to forget his ways is if they suffered a traumatic head injury causing amnesia, and Goku knew one day he might have to kill the man who took him in, so he tried to detached himself from the man—especially on the night of a full moon when his race transform into a giant monkey that can destroy anything in it's path.
Then one day, Goku's restlessness got out of control that while Gohan was carrying him around the mountain of their home, Goku jumped away from his grandfather only to almost fall into a ravine with a waterfall on the otherside. But before Goku could meet his doom, Gohan managed to save the young child.
It was then Goku looked at the waterfall and the base of it down bellow, and saw the beauty of it and realized this planet might be worth more than just a colony to his Saiyan race, but a beauty that even his home planet couldn't offer. It was also then Goku realized to preserve this planet, he would have to avoid the full moon he
After the save, Goku decided to give his new grandfather a chance in order too learn more about the beauty of the world he was send to, and in time Goku came to love his new planet.
At the age of three, Goku decided to come clean and tell Gohan his Saiyan heritage and his birth name Kakorot and his quest as well as why Goku never stay up at night during a full moon as it cause a transformation to a giant ape.
To much of Goku's surprise, it didn't scare his new found grandfather away, much less kept Gohan surprise of the fact of what Goku was.
Then Gohan went to a trunk he had and opened it and took out the device he found Goku with and revealed he always figured something was different from Goku, and that Goku's story only confirmed it.
With returning Goku's device that Goku recognized as something called a reader his Saiyan parents use to wear, Gohan also showed Goku an orange ball that fit perfectly in the size of his hand.
"Goku, if ever a time you question about earth's safety, this ball will give you the answers you seek," Gohan said
"But what is it?" Goku asked.
"A dragon ball, my dear boy, something I have only found on earth, but maybe one day maybe you can prove me wrong," Gohan said. "A lot of bad people go after this ball, and it is up to us to protect it."
Goku took the ball and looked at it. Nothing seemed special about it, but Goku figured if his grandfather felt it was important, then Goku must trust him. Little did Goku know, that orange four star ball will eventually shape his life and further extend his interest of his new home planet.
A/N: Since this is a new story I be working on this story and this month's winning story this month. By the end of this month this story will be among those waiting to hopefully win a poll.
As for why I decided to start a story now, I felt I was in a rut lately with helping taking care of two of my nephews that whenever I do get to working on the monthly winning stories, I hit a writer's block. So I thought I try something new for once since I been over due, by which I mean a fanfiction for an series I like and yet not have a fanfiction for, and I had this idea for a dragonball cannon series for a while. The only reason I haven't posted it earlier was because until this morning I didn't know how to work the chinks out of how to have Goku keep his memories of his Saiyan heritage but not have him destroy the earth right away. So I hope you enjoy
