The Transfer: Intro

Hello and Welcome!

Hi, my names Adelae and I'll be your pilot for this ride. I advise you to fasten your seatbelt and put away your tray table because we might experience some turbulence.

This fic started out as a wistful 8th grade exploration into the world of Dragon Ball Z. What once started out as basic outlines and character charts has now amassed into this 60k+ story.

I would like to thank everyone that has been here since the beginning. I know that when I first started my writing was painful to read, but like a flower I bloomed over time.

I am constantly reworking this fic and fixing grammer, sentence structure, and plot holes. If you read this fic a year ago and are now rereading it, don't worry you're not hallucinating nor do you have a faulty memory. I have rewritten these chapters many times.

Let me start with my life story. It all started one sunny April day when a-just kidding. I won't go back that far.

It all started when I got a laptop for Christmas my 8th year. And then marrathoned all of Dragon Ball. And off of Z. And all of GT. Plus all the movies and TV specials. Let's just say my Christmas break was well spent. So with my brain bursting with ideas I started writing.

This was before I had discovered this beautiful website. I wrote just to write.

And the rest is history, I guess. I dunno, if I become famous someday I'll write an autobiography or something.

Um…what's that? The whole LINE HERE business?

Well, as much as I love the cute little line segments fanfiction gives us, they aren't always there depending what app or phone you are using. I chose to put in my own divider so readers weren't bashing their heads in to the wall every scene change.

STORY INFO

This is, unfortunately, another Gohan goes to high school fic. I know so creative. But hey, I was 12 when I started this. But don't you worry, other than some cliché situations that every Gohan in high school fic has, I will be as original as possible. Yes there will be "Gold Fighters" in a sense. And sadly Saiyaman will not be making an appearance. Unfortunately to the plot he is irrelevant.

Hello everyone! I'm Adelae and this is my first fanfiction. DBZ was my first "anime that I actually knew was an anime" and was my introduction to this wonderful world. Yes this is another Gohan goes to high school fic. But don't worry. Other than some cliché situations that everyone Gohan in high school fic has to go through, it will be entirely different. There will be gold fighters, but NO SAIYAMAN. Yes, I know, cry. Saiyaman is undoubtedly one of my favorite alter egos of the DBZ universe, but he is irrelevant to the story.

I will be using my own version of the Saiyan Language and Saiyan Alphabet which I am calling Saiya-go. Though alternative names for the language is up for suggestion. (PLEASE) A translation will be given at the bottom of every page that requires it. And how it all works (AKA the alphabet line up) is on my profile. How to pronounce it though, well that's in my mind. Locked up. Forever. Nah just kidding. Just sound it out. It's a garbled warrior language derived from grunts and war cries.

Everything until Cell is exactly as it was in the anime. All canon afterwards…well erase it from your mind.

I have the story broken up into segments. This is basically how I kept all the bits in order when I first started. I you want a look into the future of this story, go ahead and take a look. If not skip to the bottom of the page and read on.

Timeline of Events

Phase 1: Infiltration

Go to High School and befriend humans. Make them trust you and let them believe that you are human just like they are

Phase 2: Doubtification

Make them start doubting things that have been said true their entire lives. Have them open their minds to the impossible

Phase 3: Initiation

The humans learn about aliens. Be there for them and help them understand. Don't be mad if the humans suddenly don't treat you the same.

Phase 4: Naturalization

Make the humans at home on your planet. Have them feel comfortable and let them make connections.

Phase 5: Relocation

If the humans want to stay, let them. If not send them home.

Phase 6: Continuation

Help the program continue. Let information about it spread in a positive way.

And then as tradition dictates, I present my original intro from my original publishing:
