Author's Area

Salutations! This is my first story that I have written. The story is a crossover of Dragonball Z by Akira Toriyama and the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. I hope that those that read this will also review. I accept all criticism, but if you are being unnecessarily mean then I won't pay you much mind. I hope you all like the story.

-Prologue: My Wish Fulfilled-

My name is Son Gohan. I am sixteen years old. I was born on the planet Earth to my Earthling mother, Chi Chi, and my Saiyan father, Son Goku. The odd joining of two different beings was the beginning of a life that nobody could call normal. I lived in the mountains with my parents. My mother thought that it would be better for me to be home schooled. This was partly due to the fact that she felt she could teach me better, and the fact that we were far from any town. Needless to say, I had a very sheltered childhood, but that changed on that day long ago.

At the age of four I was abducted by my father's brother, Raditz. That was the beginning of my life of fighting. I was half Saiyan, and I was the son of the world's strongest fighter; I guess that I should have known it was inevitable.

All of the times that I have gone into space, I ended up in a fight. It seemed to me that my destiny was to fight all of the evil this universe could produce. My family and friends fought against many dangerous opponents. We helped to save many people and many worlds. Why I thought I could go into space and actually relax still astounds me today.

I had planned to look for new and interesting sights to see. I wanted the chance to see a part of the universe that I had done more than my share of protecting. To go to other worlds I chose to ask my father's friend, Bulma Briefs, to help. She understood my wish a lot better than most people would. She took up the challenge of creating a spaceship that would ferry me across the stars.

She completed her project in short time. After saying goodbye to my mother, brother, and friends, I entered the large craft and began the take-off sequence. In just minutes I shot off the ground and found myself flying through space.

Bulma had equipped the craft with an experimental inter-dimensional drive. She had been working on it in order to shorten the length of time it usually took to fly to other planets. I probably should have felt a bit wary of the fact that it was experimental, but I did not at the time. So, I activated the drive in order to see how it worked. I guess I could say that it did not.

I felt as though I was being torn apart. The last thing that I could recall was the ship's alarms continuing to screech as I blacked out from the strain on my body.

My name is Son Gohan. I had left my world seeking adventure, and the chance to experience other cultures. I guess I got my wish.
