Representing the Dragonball
Chapter 1
Years passed by normally for the first time in what seemed like ages for the residents of the Planet Earth. Through the efforts of the Z warriors the world had experienced true piece with the only threats of violence coming from smaller acts of robbery and other such crimes carried out by their human peers. Absolute peace didn't seem like a possible thing but for once things were normal considering the planet had one valuable prizes in the universe, the Dragonballs. Not only were these precious treasures being guarded by the special forces but were under the watchful eye of the survivors of the Saiyan race. Although these powerful warriors were once called upon by other races to eradicate native people from other worlds, the Saiyans of today completely changed their overall mission in life. Protecting the innocent and safeguarding the dragonballs from evil were the main objects. These sweeping changes came from the example laid down by Son Goku, who like all Saiyans was once given the mission to exterminate the planets inhabitants.
Goku may have been able to persuade others of his kind to change their ways and follow a new path of good but that didn't mean he was finished protecting the world. There were always others out in space that would seek out power much like the Saiyans and Frieza did in the past. Deep in space in another galaxy word of the dragonballs had reached the attention of a race equally as adopt at fighting known as the Kanjins. For generations the Kanjins and the Saiyans had fierce conflicts that ultimately led to some seriously bad blood between the groups. Instead of working together to defeat a common enemy like Frieza, the groups turned to each other and became bitter rivals. After learning of the dragonballs existence it appeared as though the leadership of the Kanjin race wanted to use them for their own selfish purposes. Almost immediately a conference was convened on the Kanjin's home planet to devise their strategy for one taking on the Saiyans and gaining possession of the magical dragonballs.
Like with their Saiyan counterparts, the Kanjin race had several traits that were similar among the individual members of the species. While Saiyans were known to mainly have various shades of black or brown for hair color, the Kanjin race was made up of individuals that had white, red or various combos of the two. The society in general was also broken down into categories of royal, high, middle, and lower classes. Unlike the Saiyans who choose power level to be the dividing element the Kanjin's used pedigree.
To symbolize their status within society each individual would have a colored diamond embedded in their foreheads from birth. At the head of the social pyramid stood the red Kanjin's class which were comprised of the royal family. The natural abilities of energy absorption and telepathic powers were the strongest among this class. Below them stood the Blue class Kanjins. These individuals were from noble birth and served the members of the royal family rather closely. Their individual powers were highly developed but not nearly as well as the red class. Blue class Kanjins were divided amongst the government agencies and army core. The low class were classified as Green Kanjins. These individuals are rarely seem on the battlefield due to their extremely low fighting strength. Green class Kanjins are usually found tending to the shops, crops or other non-combat roles within society. The lowest of the low are the yellow class. These members of society are treated as outcasts due to their mixture of bloodlines. Despite their advanced combat abilities, pure blooded Kanjins don't generally accept them and refer to them as a whole other race known as Sankanjins.
Several hours had passed since the news of the dragonballs existence reached the nerve center of the Kanjin people and key players involved in decision making were on their way to the meeting room. Loud footsteps could be heard echoing down the halls as the final individual made their way to gathering. At the front of the room stood the current leader of the race, a young female named Ukyo. A rather serious expression appeared in her green colored orbs as she looked out to group gathered. The only non-threatening element of her aura at the moment was her purple flowered kimono and her free flowing red and white streaked hair. Just as she was about to open her mouth to declare her intensions the door swung open to reveal another regal figure, a male roughly a few years older than Ukyo.
The Kanjin queen turned in shock to find her sickly elder brother standing within the door frame. While she was pleased to see his condition had improved, it still worried her that rightful leader was pushing himself rather hard. Despite the situation he gazed into the room with his typical kind expression and brushed his long silver/white strands of hair away from his sapphire eyes. After standing within the doorway for a few moments Keiko gracefully walked through the door and joined his sister at the head of the meeting table. Carefully he cleared his throat to gain the attention of those who gathered and stated with a somewhat serious tone, "Thank you for all coming on such short notice. We have just received a disturbing report detailing recent Saiyan activity on a planet called Earth. Intelligence reports state that they are in possession of dragonballs that allow to have any of their wishes come true. Knowing the power they possess, it would be unwise to allow this to go unchecked any longer."
Ukyo once again shifted her attention from her elder brother back to the advisors and other Kanjins present at the meeting of the minds. "Learning of this has forced us to act. We cannot allow the Saiyan's to remain in charge of these objects knowing what they have done throughout the universe." Not only was this a matter of security for the entire universe but this journey would help Ukyo realize her personal vengeance against the Saiyans for their crimes against the royal family all those years ago.
One of the advisors at the meeting seemed rather thoughtful as he considered everything that was being put on the table. Having the dragonballs would prove valuable to them in the long run and sparked another idea. "Your Highness, If I may be so bold... may I suggest you take a number Sankanjins with you. If the rumors are as true as they say the Saiyans have grown increasingly stronger since the defeat of Frieza."
Ukyo narrowed her eyes as the elder man spoke but before she could act out on any of her reactionary thoughts, Keiko grabbed hold of her wrist and lightly shook his head before turning his attention to the advisor. "Such precautions have already been prepared. I've gathered several talented warriors to accompany us on this quest." Almost immediately there was a communal sense of surprise spreading through the room as Keiko implied he was undertaking this mission as well. Before anyone could even argue the point, Keiko narrowed his eyes and increased the intensity of his facial features and stated, "I've taken precautions and there will be no further discussion on the matter. We leave first thing in the morning." With that he turned on his heel and immediately exited the room surrounded by a fierce intensity. Ukyo could tell that her brother was determined to see this out to the end and wouldn't be persuaded otherwise. Although she found a unpleasant taste in mouth from having to travel with those she hated most it almost seemed fitting that they would use those decent from their rivals to destroy them once and for all. 'Those dragonballs will be ours.'

A/N: Hey everyone. It's been ages since I last wrote anything from the Dragonball Z Universe but recently I've decided revamp some of my older stories that have remained idle for some time. This is the updated version of the story "Representing the Dragonball" that I started back in 2005. Hope you all enjoy this new version. Don't forget to leave me a review. I love to hear your thoughts on my work.
