Buster Squad:
Hi readers! This story is based on the Multiverse Concept. Basically, it brings together several characters from different universes.
The thing is, I've always been intrigued by the type of fan-fictions which deal with more than two universes, You know... the types where heroes are brought together from different universes to face a common threat, or the types where a group from one universe gets the ability to explore all the other universes. However , I feel that the core problems with these sorts of fan-fictions are that they can only be understood by people who know about all the universes in that particular story.
So maybe if you don't follow a lot of manga/anime or comic books, You might find yourself a bit lost during the narration of the story, which is why I'll try my very best to make you people familiar with these characters. However, I can't promise that you'll be able to understand anything unless you have a faint idea about that universe...
...
...
Dang... I think I should have mentioned that at the end of this chapter. I wonder if any of you even bothered to read all of that.
Well, I hope you're all familiar with the Dragon ball universe (Since this is a dragon ball-z x-over after all.)
And another thing...
"42"- speech
'forty two'-thought.
Note: I do not own any of the characters in this story.
Chapter-1:
"A long, long time ago, we believed that we were the only ones in the world. That we were unique. But that belief of ours was challenged with the emergence of the god of destruction- Beerus and his assistant- Whis. From them, We learnt about the thirteen universes- roughly similar to our own.
It was a shocking discovery. We were not alone. And we were not unique. "
"Still, now we have made an even greater discovery. There are, in fact, not just thirteen, but an infinite number of universes, some identical to ours, and others completely different."
"This is the age of the multiverse. The age where people have started visiting other universes and expanding their reach to infinity and beyond. It is thus inevitable that we, like many others before us should also-"
"All that's fine King Kai, but why does that have anything to do with me!" Goku complained.
They were on a small planet- a seriously small planet, which was about 30-40 meters in diameter.
Goku looked like he was going to fall asleep.
King Kai's face turned red. "It has a lot to do with you! And don't you have any manners, Goku! Why did you have to interrupt me in the middle of my speech! Do you have any idea, how many hours I've wasted trying to perfect it!"
Goku shrugged. "Nope."
King Kai opened his mouth, but shut it again.
'What was the number of hours again?'
He pushed the thought aside. "I don't know either! But that's not the point! You're supposed to be quiet when I'm speaking and wait for your turn!"
Goku frowned. "Come on, King Kai! This is so boring! This new planet of yours has the same gravity as earth, so I can't train much. And I also have to take care of these two kids." He said, pointing towards Goten and Trunks who lay snoring next to a tree.
King Kai scowled. "First of all, It's your fault that my previous planet is broken and is undergoing repairs at the moment, Since you punched right through it. And secondly, who told you to bring these two kids with you!"
Goku looked embarrassed. He rubbed his head, making his hair sway in the process. "Well you see, Chi-chi sort of yelled at me for not being a good father and then forced me to take these two kids with me. so..."
King Kai nodded wisely. "I see... What did they break this time? The kitchen?"
"Nope, the kitchen's the only part which is intact. Everything else is broken." said Goku staring at the duo.
King Kai shuddered at the thought. From what Goku had told him, his wife was apparently more dangerous than he was.
There was a moment of silence.
"Fine..." said King Kai. "I'll make it as simple as possible."
He cleared his throat and then continued.
"You remember, the West Kai? The one with Pikkon? Well, he recently started boasting about a team he had formed recently. Apparently, his team has made such an impression that they have been offered the position of an elite disaster management squad."
When he noticed that Goku hadn't understood, he explained. "A disaster management squad is one which takes care of problems arising in several different universes. They act like some sort of police force, solving problems like catching criminals who are on the run, protecting the lives of the innocent people..."
"Ok,I get it." said Goku though he clearly didn't.
'Anything to end the lecture quickly.' He thought.
King Kai carried on. "Well, he kept showing off about how his squad was so good, and that they had made him proud and that no one else could challenge them."
He stared up, trying to act like some old, wise man.
"Do you know what I decided after I heard that Goku?" He asked in a soft voice.
Goku felt a chill in his spine.
"You decided not to bring yourself down to his level, but ignore him instead and go on with your business?" He asked hopefully.
King Kai turned to face him. "Of course not! I decided to make a team of my own! A team which will surpass the West Kai's team in every way. The best team in the world!" He raised both his hands to the heavens. Lightening stuck the tree which Goten and Trunks were sleeping next to, but they didn't even budge.
Goku's jaw hung open. 'What's with the lightening?' He wondered.
"And who all have you decided to put in this team of yours?" He asked King Kai innocently.
King Kai grinned. "You'll see. After all, they will be here in about five minutes..."
Goku jumped. "Five minutes! What's my role in all of this?"
King Kai's smile turned to an evil grin. "Your role? You're going to be training them!"
Goku groaned. 'He's kidding me!'
And then, there was a really weird noise- as if fifty people were sneezing at the same time.
King Kai's tentacles stood straight up.
"Well actually, a bit less than five seconds." He announced. "In fact, they're here."
End of the first chapter! How was it? Feel free to let me know!
See ya in the next chapter.
