After two long years of searching and fighting across the entire planet Earth, leaving their homes and dropping out of school, three teenage boys, Kyle (age 17), James (age 17), and Will (age 19) had finally managed to gather together the genuine, real life Dragon Balls.
Out of them all, James was by far the smartest one of the three, but, while he still had above average strength, he was also the weakest of the three friends. Having been inspired by the combat skill of his friends, James decided to start studying martial arts roughly five years ago. James was a slightly above average height, caucasian boy, with short cut hair, and he had a fairly well toned build as well.
Will was the oldest and best looking of the three friends, as well as the second strongest out of them. Will, while he was by no means stupid, he wasn't smart either; his intelligence was, by every definition, average. He was a Junior Marine before he decided to go searching for the Dragon Balls with James and Kyle. Outside of his Marine training, Will was also fluent in sword fighting, and Judo as well. Will was an average height hispanic boy with fairly long hair that he kept tied up in a small pony tail. Will has a very muscular build, not to the extent of a body builder mind you, but his build definitely does reflects his military background.
Kyle was the strongest out of the three, as well as the kindest and most light hearted, at the time. Kyle is fairly intelligent and is a good on the fly strategist, as well as a natural leader.
Kyle was the most skilled fighter of the three, having studied mixed martial arts since he was just four years old. Kyle was a couple of inches taller than James and at least five inches taller than Will. He was a caucasian boy with very long hair that easily covered his ears as well as the back of his neck, but he made sure to cut his bangs short enough so that they would not be covering his eyes so that it wouldn't impede his fighting abilities. A notable trait of Kyle's physique was that he was actually slightly on the skinny side, not horribly skinny, but still noticeably skinny. But do to his constant exercise, any meat that was on his bones had become pure muscle.
The three friends had traveled to the middle of a desert, so that they could summon Shenron in privacy, because they didn't want anyone else to be freaked out by the giant Chinese dragon appearing in the sky, and they also just didn't want anyone to try and take their wishes from them.
The three of them had gathered into a circle around the Dragon Balls and just looked at them in awe and disbelief for a moment.
After the three of them spent nearly five minutes in silence looking at the seven magic orbs they had spent so long acquiring, Will turned to face Kyle and said to him in a slightly threatening, but still obviously playful, tone of voice "You know, this had better work, Kyle! After all, it was YOUR idea to look for these things! I could have stayed with the Junior Marines and become a lieutenant after I graduated from college, so I swear to God this had better work."
After being caught a little off guard by Will's statement, Kyle recomposed himself and just gave off a giddy smile at him in response to his concerns.
He then put his arm around his friend's shoulder and said to him in a tone of both encouragement and excitement "After all we've been through together, you're doubting me now? I thought we were brothers, dude. Listen, Will: We got our first Dragon Ball when a 'round stone' crashed into my backyard and, after a year went by, the stone showed us what it really was, a Dragon Ball! We wanted to see if it was the real thing, so we tried to smash it with everything we could find, but it didn't work; not a scratch was put on that beautiful little orb, and every other Dragon Ball that we've collected after that has also passed the same tests. And the Dragon Balls are supposed to be made of unbreakable materials, right? So, relax, man. I think we've found the real things."
James was starting to get a bit impatient with his friends' conversation, so he looked away from the Dragon Balls and over at Kyle and Will as he asked them in a slightly annoyed tone "So, guys, are we just going to keep talking about the past or are we going to actually make our wishes?..." Kyle and Will bot quickly picked up on James' tone and recomposed themselves.
Kyle, then, replied to James in an embarrassed tone "Oh, sorry about that, James. Let's get this ball rolling!" Will folded his arms and added hi own sentiment to the apology "Yeah, my bad on that one."
The three of them made sure that they were properly gathered around the Dragon Balls and then, after a tense moment of silence, all three of them, in unintentional unison, said with great enthusiasm in their voices "Rise, Eternal Dragon! Grant our wishes!" Saying this caused the sky above them to turn pitch black and then, in a moment that nearly caused all of their hearts to stop, the Eternal Dragon Shenron appeared from a flash of yellow light that shot out of the Dragon Balls.
After being summoned, the magical beast called Shenron filled up almost the entire night sky with his massive body, looked at the boys below him, and declared to the three people who had summoned him in a cold and power filled tone of voice "I AM THE ETERNAL DRAGON SHENRON! I SHALE GRANT YOU TWO WISHES! STATE YOUR FIRST WISH AND I SHALE GRANT IT!"
Still in awe of the fact that they really had succeeded in gathering the real Dragon Balls and the Eternal Dragon had actually appeared before them, the boys had to take a minute to recollect themselves before making their first wish. After quickly talking it out between themselves, they agreed that, since Kyle was the best amongst them at phrasing things properly, he should be the one to actually tell the Dragon what their wishes were.
After thinking in great detail about how to phrase the first wish, Kyle said to Shenron in a very serious, yet respectful tone "Shenron, the three of us wish to have Saiyan bodies that look as close to our current bodies as Saiyan bodies can be. Also, we want to keep our personality's intact and full knowledge of how to use our Saiyan powers!"
Shenron, as his already glowing red eyes glowed even more intensely, replied to this in the same cold and powerful tone from before "YOUR WISH WILL BE GRANTED IN A MOMENT! AFTER YOUR BODIES FINISH TRANSFORMING, STATE YOUR SECOND WISH SO THAT I MAY RETURN TO MY SLUMBER!"
Kyle was about to tell Shenron what their second wish was, but before he could, the three teenagers were suddenly enveloped by a bright light. After the light had vanished, all three of the boys fell to their knees. After standing up and looking at each other, all of them realized that they now had pitch black hair and irises, and not only that, but they all had grown, what looked like, monkey tails that had wound up punching holes in the backs of their pants.
After he and his friends had somewhat adjusted to their new Saiyan bodies, Kyle looked back over at Shenron and said that he already knew what their second wish was going to be.
Kyle, while excitedly raising his fist into the air, said to Shenron with an ecstatic smile on his face "We wish for a hand-held radar that will allow us to locate the Dragon Balls once they become active again!"
Shenron was a little surprised by this wish at first, but he quickly got over his initial shock and responded to Kyle's request in his normal booming tone of voice "YOUR SECOND WISH IS GRANTED." As soon as Shenron said this, a small, round, metal devise fell from the sky and into James' hands.
Realizing just how valuable this device truly was, he quickly put the Dragon Ball radar into his backpack for safe keeping.
Shenron, while flying off into what looked like a portal of light in the pitch black sky, stated dramatically to the people who had summoned him "UNTIL THE NEXT WISH!"
The seven magic Dragon Balls then floated into the air, turned into regular stone balls once again, and, then, launched themselves to the farthest reaches of the Earth, leaving the three new Saiyans standing with no one but each other in the dessert.
Power Levels.
Kyle: 15
Will: 14
James: 12
Note of importance: In this story's universe, the Dragon Ball series was never quite as popular as it was in our world. Because of this, the series had very low quality animation and ended at the end of the Cell Saga.
