The Red Ribbon Army, the most feared and capable military unit in the world, saw a crushing defeat at the hands of Son Goku during his Dragon Ball escapades. Soon after, Dr. Gero was the last surviving remnant of the army and swore vengeance on the child for taking away all that he'd known. But what of a world where Son Goku was not the RRA's downfall... but its greatest asset?

Raditz finds himself outmatched when he comes to earth, due to a change in Goku's final battle against Piccolo five years earlier. Can Raditz find it within himself to become a hero alongside his brother, and rise to face Frieza, the androids, and more? Thanks to Nassif9000 for providing the cover image! Now with a TV Tropes page. (Yes, I regret 'Bills'. Super wasn't out yet okay)

Due to a change in Bardock's final stand, Kakarot's spaceship forsakes its original destination and indirectly leaves the Earth without its intended savior. Fate and chance had aligned during his exodus, however, leaving him to the Namekians to be raised as one of their own. Both Namek and Earth must now walk down diverging roads - one with and one without a destined hero.

AU: A small malfunction in baby Kakarot's spaceship leads to him crash landing on Kami's Lookout. Sensing great potential power and anger inside the child's heart, Kami raises him and changes the DB Universe drastically as a result.

Some lives and destinies can change with a single and simple event. In this alternate universe, King Kai had remembered the 'doomsday' that Raditz-Goku's brother-had predicted for Earth and her people, leading to a story where Son Goku arrived on time to the battlefield.

Life can change, sometimes in an instant. For Son Goku, this phrase never rang truer when his memories were erased with a blow to the skull and he was abducted into the stars by his elder brother. Of course, Goku's past life wouldn't just crumble away; he had a young son named Gohan, who dedicated his life to bringing his father home.
