Much like my idea collection for possible Yu-Gi-Oh stories, I will be presenting a few ideas for Dragon Ball themed stories. All of them take place in drastically different timeliness, but the attitudes of the characters stay relatively the same. As with the Yu-Gi-Oh ideas, I will describe the stories and then present a preview. What I would like is for you guys to tell me what you think of each idea individually before you tell me which one you want me to write.

First idea: Dragon Ball Universe(DBU)

The first of the alternate timelines is one where Capsule Corp has created ships for a new Galactic Military. Goku still learns under Master Roshi, who is a drill sergeant. The story itself will actually begin when Goku is assigned to Bulma's crew.

Goku is different in this story because he knows full well that he is a Saiyan when he grows up. In fact, instead of being sent to Earth to destroy it, he was sent to try and form an alliance between Earth and Planet Vegeta for a war against Frieza's empire. But, like in canon, Goku forgets his mission. He still has his tail when he's an adult, mainly because there weren't any Great Ape incidents as he grew up. Like most soldiers/warriors, Goku wears armor that comes with a helmet that allows him to breath in atmospheres with no oxygen, which makes him a good addition to Bulma's exploration crew.

Bulma's crew has a few soldiers, but none as resilient and brave(foolish if you ask Bulma's) as Goku. Major members of Bulma's crew are Bulma herself, Goku, Tien(with Chiautzu included since their basically a set), Chi Chi and, later on in the story, Trunks. With Goku on the crew, Tien is the one who protects the ship while Goku(and Bulma if the air is breathable) go on scouting missions.

They run into Vegeta and his crew on a few occasions. During those occasions, Vegeta sends members of his crew to test Goku's strength. They will face each other eventually, that is inevitable.

Preview:

Goku followed Bulma through the barracks of the ship. She led him to a door that was a slightly darker shade of grey than the others.

"You'll be bunking with Tien," Bulma explained, "You're armor is already inside. I would suggest changing now. We wouldn't want the higher ups at headquarters to know that you're fresh out of the academy, now would we?"

"I thought they already knew," Goku said, puzzled, "didn't they assign me here?"

"Yes, but they tend to question your drive as a soldier if you're not battle ready as soon as we leave the planet."

"Oh,"

Goku entered the room and saw his armor and undersuit sitting on his bed. He stopped out of his academy uniform and put the blue undersuit and gloves on. He then put the orange cod piece on, followed by the thigh guards, then the leg guards and finally, the indigo boots. He then fastened the orange torso piece on his chest, clipping the front and back together from the sides. He put the indigo wrist guards on and looked at the helmet. He wouldn't need to wear it until he and to go out onto a planet with a poisonous atmosphere, but that didn't mean he couldn't check it out. It was mainly orange, with a blue area on top in the middle, going from the visor to the bottom at the back. There was also a filtration system below the visor and red 4's emblazoned on each side. Goku was about to put it on when the ship shook as it began to take off.

There's the first of I don't know how many ideas. Tell me what you think of it.
