Catalyst: a person or thing that precipitates an event or change. A traditional encounter is changed, and begins a series of events which will alter the fate of millions. From the beginning of the Saiyan Saga forward. Rated T for violence and themes.

AU: Abducted at the age of three and a half, taken through thirteen years of bloodshed and strife, Gohan finds his way back to Earth... to finish a backlogged contract. On Earth, he will either overcome what he is, or be destroyed by it. Rated M.

What if Vegeta was the hero who killed Cell at his most powerful? What if 17 & 18 were given bigger roles in future Arcs? What if Tien Shinhan and other long forgotten characters were suddenly important? This is the series in which those characters get those big roles, and where the DBZ series is retold through their eyes and their perspective. This is...the Vegeta Chronicles!

With Vegeta left to be among the strongest heroes to defend Earth from the endless forces of Evil, what is Goku up to? A parallel story in which Goku's exploits in Other World are told, and entirely new and memorably old ones get to see him in the land of the dead! (Hiatus Enacted as of 7-27-14)

Something monstrous is growing up inside him following his ascension during the Cell Games, a raw, animalistic power that he can barely hope to control. When a seer from another dimension predicts the end of the universe at Gohan's hands, steps must be taken to make sure that this can never come to pass, even if it means subverting the natural course of destiny.
