A/N: Hello. This is the first chapter of "Dragon Ball M", a story where the females eventually turn into Majins (given it is their own choice)! And in this one, it starts off with the original Dragon Ball saga. Personally, I haven't seen it, so I recently watched the 1st episode. And while it has a similar premise as "Dragon Ball Z: Chiyo", it'll go in a different direction. That, I can tell you. And also, Colleen Clinkenbeard will voice Goku this time around instead of Stephanie Naldony (nothing against her; I just like Colleen Clinkenbeard better), Monica Rial as the adventurous Bulma, Sonny Strait as Bardock, Emily Neeves as Gine, Troy Baker as Boxsa (Bulma's brother, the careful one, and bconfer368's OC), Anastasia Muñoz as Tights (the mediator of the Briefs trio), Brina Palencia as Puar, Brad Jackson as Oolong, and Christopher Sabat as both Yamcha and Grandpa Gohan. It'll certainly get interesting from here. :)
Dragon Ball M
A Pair of Legends; The Story Begins
Act I
It all started when in space, the armored squadron noticed two pods with Salza speaking up upon noticing this.
"What's this? Someone's getting away. Magnify the image.", Salza spoke.
"Right. I'm on it, Salza.", Neize agreed.
"I want the interior view as well.", Salza added as Neize then filtered the monitors from four to two and then zoomed in toward one of the pods with Gine and Kakarot inside as they had hopeful looks in their faces while the latter looked a bit more confused for one monitor and Tarba and Tarble for the second monitor.
"Got it.", Neize spoke.
"Where do they think they're going?", Salza asked before Neize checked the coordinates.
"It looks like one of the pods is headed toward a planet called Earth. And another's headed for the planet called Namek. Intercept courses?", Neize asked.
"Yes.", Salza responded.
However, a different voice spoke up and had a different idea.
"Belay that order.", the voice spoke.
The voice belonged to none other than a sort of arcosian in a hover chair with a blue marking on his forehead, purple skin, and red marks near his eyes named Cooler, the direct sibling to King Cold's son, Frieza.
"Sire!", Dore spoke while bowing.
"Yes, Sire.", Neize bowed before Salza bowed as well.
"But...someone is escaping.", Salza spoke in worry before the arcosian explained.
"Frieza's the one in charge of this quadrant. Let him clean up his own mess. I've got 7 planets to destroy by the end of the day. Why should I allow myself to get behind schedule just to cover his mistake? Besides, they're just Saiyan children. And their mothers, especially that King Vegeta's wife, share the exact same battle power. They are no threat to us.", Cooler assured as he flew over to the monitor in his hover chair before showing Gine and Kakarot inside the ship headed for Earth.

Narrator: In outer space, a mother and her son venture to an off-world planet for the first time. Little could they know, high in the skies above, both their loved one and their homeworld are under threat by a fearsome enemy.
Meanwhile, Bardock quickly charged toward Frieza's men before they fired Ki Blasts at Bardock, only for him to evade them and strike back against his men five times before dashing toward Frieza, only to be elbowed on the back, trapped by a full-Nelson and punched in the gut, only for it to be ineffective before he then kicked two of his men off before shouting to Frieza.
"Frieza! Show yourself! Come out and face me, you coward!", Bardock shouted before Frieza hovered out from the hatch, surprising the soldiers.
"He's come out.", One soldier spoke.
"It's Lord Frieza.", the two soldiers spoke in surprise.
"He's joining the battle.", the fourth soldier added.
"Hey, Frieza. If you're really as strong as you say you are, you'd fight me. Then, we'd know for sure who's the strongest in the universe.", Bardock goaded, puzzling and angering the current emperor of the Universe.
After a few moments of growling, Frieza calmed himself and spoke.
"You really want to die? That badly?", Frieza asked as he hovered out of his hoverchair. "I'll warn you: I have three more transformations."
Bardock wanted to take him on at his Final Form and to defeat him with everything he's got.
"How about we just get to the point and fight at your final form already?", Bardock insisted, quickly infuriating Frieza.
"I'll show you all!", Frieza shouted before he then roared as his purple aura flared out.
Then, after a while, Frieza was now in his final form, with Dodoria and Zarbon watching.
"Here's a little reward for angering me.", Frieza threatened.
However, Bardock was not the sort to be intimidated easily as he only grinned.
"Well, thanks. I was hoping to fight you at your true form.", Bardock grinned, puzzling Zarbon and Dodoria.
"Is that Saiyan mad? Fighting against Frieza at his true form?", puzzled Zarbon.
"Clearly, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.", Dodoria responded.
Outside, Bardock then raised his right fist near his head and moved his index finger back and forth.
"Tell you what, Frieza. How about you attack first, just to give me a clue as to who I'm dealing with.", Bardock goaded even further before Frieza responded.
"You really want to perish that quickly, don't you? Very well. I'll start.", Frieza spoke before he then dashed toward Bardock and punched him in the chest, only for it to have no effect against Bardock before he then grew irritated and tried to hit Bardock again, shocking Zarbon and Dodoria.
"This is inconceivable! How can he withstand that much of Frieza's brute force?!", Zarbon exclaimed.
"This guy has to be some kind of monster!", Dodoria concurred.
Frieza continued his assault before Bardock then grabbed Frieza's fist, shocking him as he then moved his fist away from his face.
"What in the..?", Frieza asked before Bardock spoke.
"Was that your best shot? Now, let me show you mine.", Bardock spoke before he then punched Frieza in the gut as hard as he could without transforming, shocking Frieza as he spit out saliva before being sent towards the front of his spaceship, much to Zarbon and Dodoria's shock.
"He-he dealt that much damage to Lord Frieza, even in his final form?!", Dodoria exclaimed in shock.
"B-But that's... Impossible!", Zarbon exclaimed before Bardock glared at Frieza and goaded him once more.
"If you really want to win, I suggest you give it all you've got.", Bardock warned before Frieza growled angrily and prepared his Supernova as Bardock grinned while it expanded to its normal height.
"That's it, Frieza. Take the bait.", Bardock thought.
"You ridiculous imbecile!", Frieza shouted before firing it toward Bardock, and coincidentally toward Planer Vegeta.
Then, the blast seemingly overtook Bardock as he screamed and had another vision of Goku facing Frieza on Planet Namek before grinning. Then, he remembered his promise and gave an angry look before exerting his power to completely cancel out his Supernova.
"No!", Bardock shouted as the Supernova Attack was being disintegrated, much to Frieza's shock.
"What?!", exclaimed Frieza.
Even Zarbon and Dodoria were blanched.
"D-Did he just..?!", Zarbon began before Dodoria answered.
"Yeah! He brushed Frieza's best move aside!", Dodoria replied.
Outside, blue electricity arced around Bardock as he shook a bit and spoke.
"That's pathetic. I...will be the one to avenge them.", Bardock proclaimed before he placed his right hand on his bandana in his forehead and clenched his fingers tightly onto it.
"Me! ME! I'm going to defeat you!", Bardock shouted before he then exerted his full power as a blue aura overcame him with a shell forming around him while his hair spiked up and moved upward, blinding Frieza, his top men, and the entirety of the Frieza Force as the scouters exploded on the due to the intense power radiating from Bardock.
When the light dimmed, only a light blue shell covering Bardock remained before the shell crumbled, revealing Bardock in Super Saiyan Azure for the first time, shocking Frieza, and all of his army.
"Wh-what is that form?! I-is it..?", Frieza began before Bardock spoke.
"Oh, this? This power goes way beyond the 'Legendary Super Saiyan'. In fact, I've gotten this far thanks to my recent adventures with my friends, I can tell you that much. What I can also tell you is that this form is known as 'Super Saiyan Azure'.", Bardock explained before Frieza started growling.
"And right now, in this state, this will change everything. Both...my fate, Gine's, Raditz's, Kakarot's, and...yours!", Bardock stated as he began preparing his Riot Javelin on his right hand before he yelled out and launched it toward Frieza.
However, before it could make contact, Frieza barely managed to stop the blast with one hand, although proving to be greatly difficult as he strained before he suddenly screamed as it then exploded.
After a moment, though, the smoke cleared, revealing that Frieza did survive, but with but a wound on his hand as he panted before then turning to his men, who were murmuring concerns for him.
"I believe a strategic retreat is in order.", Frieza stated, puzzling Bardock.
"What?", Bardock puzzled.
"I don't know how it is that you've managed to unlock that transformation, but the next time we meet, it won't be enough to defeat me, let alone destroy me. That, I can personally guarantee. Until then, consider your homeworld spared.., for the moment.", Frieza smirked.
Then, just as the spaceships started turning tail and taking off, Bardock looked up and spoke in his thoughts.
"Kakarot, my son. You must succeed where I have failed. One day, you must rise up to liberate the Saiyans of Planet Vegeta. Redeem the pride of our race.", Bardock thought as Kakarot and Gine arrive on Earth and were shown to be on Earth as Gine carried Goku and walked across the Bamboo forest before coming across an elderly man with a hat and a white mustache.

Narrator: So it came to be that this mother and child from a far-away planet fell to Earth.
"Oh, dear. Are you two lost?", Grandpa Gohan asked.
"Well, we were just looking for somewhere nearby where we could rest.", Gine replied.
"Well, I can't very well leave you two out here all on your own.", Grandpa Gohan responded before he then led the two to a sort of village nearby.
Narrator: "And thanks to the kindness of a stranger, they would make their new world their home."
"So, what is your son's name?", Grandpa Gohan asked.
"Him? Well, his name's Kakarot.", Gine responded.
"Kakarot? That sounds like a vegetable. How about we call him…Goku?", Grandpa Gohan suggested.
"'Goku'… I like that.", Gine grinned before Grandpa Gohan lifted Goku up and then showed a little girl in a blue bikini, pink gloves and boots, a green cape and her pink helmet playing around in the Ox Kingdom when she suddenly stopped and noticed a small pink egg on the ground before going over to it while picking up a stick nearby.
Narrator: "But meanwhile, in the Ox Kingdom, a little girl named Chi-Chi was playing around when she noticed a peculiar item on the ground."
"This wooks wiewd. What this?", Chi-Chi spoke as she poked the egg lightly before it suddenly burst out pink dust, which covered Chi-Chi.
"Hehe this tickwes.", Chi-Chi spoke before Chi-Chi's skin color had now turned pink while her tail grew from behind her and her sclerae turned black with her blue irises developing before the pink dust vanished with Chi-Chi looking at her new form in excitement.
"Mama, Papa, wook! I have a taiwl!', Chi-Chi shouted as she ran off away from the egg and to her parents.
Then, as little more than 10 years passed, it showed Goku getting into some mischief, although Bardock and Gine were helping straighten out his behavior over time so he may grow to be a good Saiyan like them as it then showed sunlight across the mountains before then showing him training as he did some poses as Bardock, Gine, and Grandpa Gohan watched.
Narrator: "10 years later, Bardock and Gine have raised this young child who came to be known as Goku while Grandpa Gohan's teachings have helped forge him into a defender of his mystical possession: a Dragon Ball."
Goku was walking on a big log as a deer drank some water, some fish swam across the river, and a purple pterodactyl took off into the air before a monkey hung down from another monkey's arm and hooted.
"Hi there! Just hanging around, huh?", Goku greeted as he rolled down before the logs started to pick up the pace in speed and tumble, although he managed to flip forwards once in a while to get the balance back as he went down.
Later, as Bardock, Gine, and Grandpa Gohan watched, Goku then practiced his kata for a moment.
"Is he just psyching himself up or what?", Bardock puzzled before Goku then picked up the log and tossed it up into the air.
After that, he jumped up and punched it into pieces with the pieces then stacking up like a neat pile of logs.
"Wow. Look at him go.", Gine grinned.
"He certainly has progressed far.", Grandpa Gohan grinned.
"Well, that takes care of that.", Goku spoke before his stomach growled.
"Wow. I'm hungry.", Goku spoke.
Meanwhile, a vehicle was driving across a hill before it stopped with a few people getting out.
Narrator: Little did Goku and his family know that a few visitors were approaching their remote mountainside home and that their lives were about to begin a radical new phase."
Those three people had blue hair, well 2 out of 3 did (one was a girl with a pink dress while another was a man with a blue suit), while the 3rd had blonde hair as they looked out into the horizon before the man turned to the girl.
"So, how close are we to that dragon ball, Bulma?", the man asked before she got out a sort of handheld detector as it beeped.
"Actually, we're almost there. That dragon ball's as good as ours.", Bulma spoke.
"Well, it'd just better be at a safe spot.", the man responded as the 3 then get back inside the car and drove onward.
Meanwhile, Goku put his power pole back on.
"Well, time to go get some food.", Goku grinned as he then tied the rope to his waist.
"That makes two of us, son. Never mind three.", Bardock grinned.
"Then, let's get going.", Gine asked as Grandpa Gohan chuckled warmly.
"Yeah.", Goku nodded and chuckled before the 4-star ball suddenly glowed, astonishing all.
"Huh?", Goku puzzled.
"Bardock, are you seeing this? It just got shinier than before.", Gine spoke.
"Shinier? I'd even say it glowed.", Bardock responded before the glow on the ball ceased.
"What was that about?", Gine asked.
"Well, I think I might know something about that. But I'll explain over lunch.", Gohan responded.
"Okay.", Gine nodded.
Later, Goku and his parents walked out across the forest.
"Do you remember where the apples are, Goku?", Gine asked.
"Yep.", Goku responded.
"Not that I'm against that, but they're more of a snack for us. But fish? Now, that's a meal.", Bardock responded before Goku's stomach growled again, making him giggle.
"Okay. I guess I am a little hungry for fish.", Goku grinned.
"Well, then let's go get some. And if we find some apples along the way, who knows? We might pick some up as appetizers.", Bardock responded.
"Okay.", Goku grinned before he, Bardock, and Gine went ahead and got up to a tree with Bardock and Gine sitting on a branch while Goku hung upside down via tail as they all ate apples together.
"That was tasty.", Goku spoke before he tossed his finished apple out, worrying Gine.
"Goku, be careful with that!", Gine shouted in worry before the apple core then landed on a sabertooth tiger's head, prompting him to look up to see Goku and his parents up a tree as Gine grew afraid as the tiger glared at them, her tail practically puffing up in shock as Bardock sighed while Goku noticed it before the tiger then tried lunge at Goku and bite his face off only to miss as Goku managed to duck away and get off the branch.
"Missed me!", Goku exclaimed.
"Kakarot!", Bardock shouted before he and Gine followed after him as the tiger then ran after the trio with Goku laughing.
"Come on! Catch me if you can!", Goku giggled giddily as the tiger ran before Goku just fell down as Bardock and Gine jumped off, floating, while the tiger then found himself no longer on the ground and exclaimed in shock before yeowling as he fell down into the river, passing by Goku, who was hanging on a branch, before the tiger splashed into the water.
"Now that that's out of the way, where's Goku?", Gine asked before Bardock descended and noticed Goku.
"There he is.", Bardock spoke before giggled only for the branch he was holding on to to break apart, causing him to fall before getting caught by the tail by his father.
"After lunch, we're going to have a long talk about picking fights.", Bardock responded before Goku chuckled nervously.
Then, later Goku, Bardock, and Gine were now standing on rocks as Bardock spoke.
"Well, this looks like a good spot for tail fishing.", Bardock grinned before he, Gine, and Goku brought their tails out to the water.
"Come on, little fishy. Take a bite.", Goku spoke as Gine giggled a bit.
And sure enough, when a few big fish happened to arrive, they saw the tails and then leapt out toward it, about to bite into them, when the Saiyans moved back and then smacked the fish unconscious in one blow before they fell back into the water with Bardock, Gine, and Goku diving in after each fish and then picking them up.
"Wow...! Now, that's a fish!", Goku gurgled.
Sometime after, the trio were walking away with their fish in hand.
"This'll last me until dinner.", Goku spoke with a chuckle before they heard revving from far away.
"Huh? What's that noise?", Goku asked.
"Wait. I hear it, too. But where?", Bardock puzzled before Gine turned and saw what was going on ahead of them as the car was speeding up.
"Bardock, look!", Gine shouted, pointing to the vehicle.
"Be careful, Bulma!", the man shouted.
"Shut up, Boxsa!", Bulma shouted in retortion before the trio gave looks of shock with Bulma then noticing this and then stopping the car as best she could with Bardock and Gine backing up as she pulled Goku away before the car could hit them.
"Oh, man. That was close...!", Bulma sighed.
"And that's why I should've been the driver. I'm nowhere near as reckless as you!", Boxsa scolded to Bulma.
"What the...?", Goku spoke in surprise.
"Are you three okay over there?", Boxsa shouted.
"That was a dirty trick! If you think you can take our fish, you better think again!", Goku shouted before he then lifted up the car all by himself, surprising Bulma, Boxsa, and Tights.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!", Bulma shouted in fright as Bardock and Gine looked on.
"This is for hitting me!", Goku grunted before tossing it only for Gine to rush over and catch the car.
"Goku, stop! Those drivers didn't mean any harm.", Gine assured as the three people inside shook in shock.
"What? Drivers?", Goku puzzled.
"She means the three people inside that thing.", Bardock responded.
"Yeah, kid. You're parents are right! We're not monsters!", Boxsa agreed.
"So, you can stop trying to kill us now!", Bulma added.
"Please, because that was actually scary.", Tights added in worry.
"I am so sorry for the inconvenience.", Gine apologized as she carefully set the car down with a blush.
"Well, no harm done, right?", Boxsa responded before the trio stepped out.
"Wait. You two are girls like my mom, right?", Goku asked.
"Uh, yeah. That's right.", Tights responded.
"You mean you haven't seen other girls before?", Bulma asked.
"Nope. Besides my mom, you two are the only ones I've seen.", Goku responded.
"Well, there's definitely more than one out there, that's for sure.", Tights responded.
"And Grandpa told me that if I meet other girls like you, I should be as polite as I could possibly could.", Goku added.
"I see. Well, what a nice thing to say. Your Grandpa sounds like a very wise man, doesn't he?", Bulma grinned.
"He sure is. And how'd you get that monster to do as you say?", Goku puzzled.
"That's no monster, silly, it's a car.", Boxsa responded.
"Wow...", Goku spoke as he then examined it.
"So, this is a car. Grandpa told me about him, but I never actually saw one.", Goku responded.
"I guess it's your first time seeing something like those, huh?", Gine grinned.
"It sure is.", Goku responded.
'You know, for a little kid, you sure are strong. Just like your mother.", Boxsa spoke.
"Thanks. Mom, Dad, and Grandpa trained me to be as tough as steel.", Goku responded.
"And from what we heard, that car you're driving. Does it come from one of those big cities by any chance?", Goku asked.
"You got it.", Tights responded.
"Wow.", Goku spoke in awe.
"Why don't you three come over for some lunch? We'll make you some.", Gine offered.
"Yeah. You could even tell us about the city you're from. Come on!", Goku spoke eagerly.
"Could you wait for a second?", Bulma asked before getting out the dragon radar.
"It looks like the dragon ball could be in that little boy's house down the road.", Bulma thought as Bardock noticed.
"I think it's safe to assume we're having those for lunch.", Tights spoke.
"Well, as long as they're cooked.", Boxsa responded.
"All right. So, what's on the agenda?", Bulma asked.
"Well, we could eat some lunch, talk, and even play games together.", Goku responded.
"All right. But if you even think of doing anything improper, you can forget it.", Bulma warned.
"Improper? What does that mean?", Goku puzzled.
"Oh, never mind.", Bulma spoke.
"Wow. He really doesn't know, does he?", Boxsa asked.
"Yeah. He's practically as innocent as a baby.", Tights agreed.
"Well, let's get going already!", Goku spoke excitedly.
"Okay. We'll follow by the giant fish.", Bulma responded as Goku then led the way with Bardock and Gine, each carrying their fish, following him as Bulma, Boxsa, and Tights followed the giant fish Goku was holding.
"So, who are you three, anyway? And why are you here?", Bardock asked.
"Who are we?", Bulma asked before Bardock nodded in reply.
"Bulma.", Bulma responded.
"I'm Boxsa, her brother. And this is Tights.", Boxsa responded.
"Nice to meet you.", Tights grinned.
"Those names sure sound funny.", Goku grinned with a slight chuckle.
"Like yours is any better. What is it, anyway?", Boxsa asked.
"My name is Goku. G, O, K, U.", Goku responded before giggling.
"My name is Gine.", Gine greeted.
"And I'm Bardock.", Bardock added.
"Okay. I'll give you that one for your name, sir.", Boxsa spoke to Bardock.
"Yeah, but Gine and Goku aren't exactly normal, either, so there.", Bulma spoke.
"Yeah, but they're not as weird as yours.", Goku responded before giggling.
"I'll have you know that 'Bulma' happens to be elegant.", Bulma commented.
"And my name is totally cooler than that, too. And they're definitely a lot better than 'Goku', that's for sure!", Boxsa scolded with a huff.
"No offense to your name, though, Gine.", Boxsa assured.
"Oh. None taken.", Gine grinned.
Act II
Grandpa Gohan was waiting outside to see Goku, Gine, and Bardock returning with a few stowaways.
"Ah, Goku. There you are. And I didn't expect to see any company here.", Grandpa Gohan grinned.
"Hiya, Grandpa.", Goku greeted.
"Yeah, we ran into those three on our way back.", Gine explained.
"Or more accurately, they nearly ran us over.", Bardock responded.
"Wow. That little place sure is nice, Goku.", Boxsa spoke.
"Thanks.", Goku spoke before he went over to Grandpa Gohan, who spoke to him.
"Oh, and as long as you are here, there is something I've been meaning to explain for sometime now.", Grandpa Gohan responded before he then opened the door with the group stepping inside the small house to see the dragon ball glowing again.
"It's glowing again.", Goku spoke.
"Do you remember how I said that this ball is quite special?", Grandpa Gohan asked.
"Yeah. Why?", Goku asked.
"Because this ball isn't a normal one like the others. This one is a Dragon Ball.", Grandpa Gohan explained.
"You mean you had that dragon ball this entire time?!", Boxsa shouted in surprise with Bulma and Tights just as excited just before Bulma then shoved Goku aside and then picked it up, only to meet with some resistance from Goku.
"Hey! Give me my ball back now!", Goku shouted before he grabbed it.
"Easy, now Goku. Remember what I said about being proper. Besides, you didn't let me finish.", Grandpa Gohan spoke.
"Oh. Sorry, Grandpa.", Goku apologized.
"It's quite all right. Now, as I was saying, this dragon ball is but one of 7 scattered across the world. Once you gather all 7, they're necessary to call forth the Eternal Dragon Shenron. Once he's summoned, he shall grant anyone who summons him any one wish.", Grandpa Gohan explained.
"Wow! That's amazing! You can wish for whatever you want? And it will come true?!", Goku spoke in awe as Gine and Bardock were just as astonished.
"That's right. And the only way that ball would be glowing is if the other dragon balls were nearby. But that doesn't seem possible. Unless...", Grandpa Gohan began before he realized something surprising.
"Unless what?", Gine puzzled.
"I thought you'd never ask.", Bulma responded before she got out two more dragon balls, one of which had 5 stars while the other had 3.
"Oh, my. You found 2 already?!", Grandpa Gohan asked in surprise.
"Yep. Try putting yours down with the others.", Bulma responded as she then spoke to Goku after her reply.
"Well, all right. But only for a second.", Goku spoke before the 3 dragon balls glowed altogether.
"Pretty great, huh?", Bulma grinned.
"And you already know what they're capable of. But any wish could be used for good or evil. And if someone really horrible got their hands on all 7, I'd hate to think what will happen.", Boxsa responded.
Meanwhile, another dragon ball, this time with 1-star, was on a pedestal pillow when the doors creaked open with three people named Shou, Pilaf, and Mai present.
"Ah, there it is.", Pilaf grinned.
"It's awfully dark in there, sire.", Shou spoke in worry.
"Shut up, Shou!", Pilaf shouted before they then stepped forward with Pilaf picking up the dragon ball.
"Yes. Come to Emperor Pilaf, my precious.", Pilaf spoke before a skeleton in a suit of armor tipped down and landed on Pilaf.
"Get off of me, you bonehead!", Pilaf shouted before he pushed the suit off him, the skull falling off and rolling onto the ground before a couple of bats flew out of the skull.
"Well, then. I'm finally ready to have my wish granted.", Pilaf spoke.
"Sir...", Mai spoke up.
"What?", Pilaf asked.
"I hate to break it to you, but you can't just make a wish with just one ball. You need the rest of the balls first before you can make a wish, remember?", Mai asked, surprising Pilaf.
"Supposedly, there are 7 in total. They all have to be gathered before you can even summon Shenron.", Mai continued.
"More searching...?", Pilaf groaned.
"It may be difficult now, but sooner or later, gathering all 7 will someday be worth it. On that day, a beautiful burst of energy will light the sky and in a blaze of surging fire, the eternal dragon will awaken for the sole purpose of granting whatever wish you want the most.", Mai stated as it then showed all 7 glowing before then showing Shenron being summoned and present.
"Oh, yes! I can see it now. Oh, very well. I guess I could do with a little bit of searching. In that case, my penultimate wish is total domination over the world!", Pilaf shouted.
Meanwhile, Gohan explained further.
"It turns out there are very few who knew about the Dragon Balls and the Eternal Dragon Shenron, including myself.", Grandpa Gohan responded.
"Just try not to mix up the ball with yours, okay?", Goku asked.
"I don't think you need to worry about that. Each ball has a different set of stars in it. Take this one for example. It has 5 stars while this one had 4.", Boxsa assured.
"Oh, yeah. That makes sense.", Goku grinned.
"And now, you're up to speed.", Grandpa Gohan spoke.
"This is great! We already have 3 Dragon Balls! At this rate, I could finally get a perfect boyfriend by the end of the day, never mind the end of a month! You are going to let me use the dragon ball so I can make my wish, right?", Bulma asked.
"I don't know...", Goku responded before turning to Grandpa Gohan, who nodded.
"Well, okay.", Goku responded before he handed her the ball.
"Well, how about we go around the world to look for the other dragon balls. Like partners? What do you say?", Bulma asked.
"Really? A hunt for the dragon balls?", Goku asked.
"Sure, why not? You'd get to see so many new things and learn so much, even all about the great cities crossing the desert, and seeing the ocean.", Bulma responded.
"Well, she has a good point.", Grandpa Gohan spoke.
"Okay. That sounds like it could be fun. I guess I can go.", Goku grinned.
"This'll be great. So, we're partners, then?", Boxsa asked as he snapped his fingers.
"On one condition. Gine and I get to go with him.", Bardock responded.
"Okay. I don't see anything wrong with that. After all, the more the merrier.", Tights responded.
"Well, here we go. The start of a great adventure.", Bulma grinned.
"See you later, Grandpa. Hope to see you again, soon!", Goku waved.
"Take care, Goku!", Grandpa Gohan waved back.
"So, how do we look for those things? They could be anywhere in the world and we only have 3.", Goku asked before Bulma chuckled.
"Just who do you think you're dealing with here, kid? We're no amatuers.", Bulma responded before she then got out the radar form her bag.
"Look at this.", Bulma spoke before turning on the radar as Goku, Bardock, and Gine noticed.
"It's a special radar the tracks the signature of energy the dragon balls give off, active or otherwise. You see those three dots there? Those are the dragon balls we have.", Boxsa spoke.
"And according to the radar, the closest one around here is 750 miles to the west.", Tights responded.
"Really? Sounds very far.", Bardock responded.
"Well, it's just as well considering it's out of our walking distance. Good thing we still have a car to drive with.", Bulma grinned.
"Yeah, but can you guys even fit in the car?", Boxsa asked
'Oh, I don't think you have to worry about that. Gine and I have our own methods.", Bardock assured.
And sure enough, later, as Boxsa drove the car this time, Bardock and Gine flew next to the car.
"What the...? You guys didn't tell me you could fly!", Boxsa spoke in surprise.
"Well, now you know.", Gine grinned.
Meanwhile, a monkey was enjoying an apple when it saw Bardock and Gine flying next to the car with Bulma, Boxsa, Goku, and Tights inside the car before becoming quite surprised as it hooted and dropped his apple.
Sometime afterward, the car had just went down the hill when Bulma spoke up.
"Uh-oh. Excuse me, Boxsa. Can you stop here for a moment?", Bulma asked.
"Uh, sure.", Boxsa responded before parking the car for a moment, puzzling Gine and Bardock.
"What is it?", Gine asked.
"Are we here already or what?", Bardock added.
"Actually, I just need to take a pit stop.", Bulma spoke.
"Okay. I'll come, too.", Goku offered, shocking Bulma, Boxsa, and Tights before Bardock spoke up.
"I don't think so, son. Let's just say this is one thing she'd prefer doing alone.", Bardock responded.
"Thank you.", Bulma responded before she then went over to a rock before she suddenly shouted.
"GUYS, COME HERE QUICK!", Bulma shouted, alerting the others.
"Perfect...", Bardock sighed before he and the others came around.
"You can't expect us to...", Bardock began before noticing a blue, mischievous pterodactyl, who has the panicking Bulma in his claws, as the others caught up.
"Who the heck are you guys?", the pterodactyl asked.
"We're the guys who are gonna pound you if you don't let my sister go right now!", Boxsca warned.
"Not if I take you first!", the creature retorted before then grabbing Boxsa as well and taking off as the two screamed.
"See ya.", the creature responded before he was then turned to the two victims of his.
"Hey! Stop being such a downer, lady. I'm in a mood for a Happy Meal.", the Dino spoke before laughing.
"Oh, no you don't!". Bardock growled before charging a blue energy blast, but mizimized, and launched it toward the creature, who turned to see the blast headed right for his head before it hit him squarely in the face, singeing it.
"AAAGH! MY FACE!", the dino shouted before Bulma and Boxsa screamed as they fell.
"Hang on!", Gine shouted before she flew up and managed to catch the two humans while the pterodactyl fell down toward the ground where the water was supposedly dried up, leaving his eyes swirly and stars floating around his head.
"Heh. That guy got what he deserved.", Bardock commented as Gine gently floated back down and set Bulma and Boxsa down.
"Gotcha. You two are safe now.", Gine assured before she set them all down.
"Thanks, Gine.", Bulma sighed in relief.
"You're welcome. Now, let's get going, shall we?", Gine responded.
"You have gotta tell me how you two flew in the air and blasted that dinosaur sometime, though.", Boxsa insisted.
"Maybe later.", Bardock responded.
"Aw, come on.", Boxsa responded as Tights grinned at the scene before later, Goku, Bardock, Gine, Bulma, Boxsa, and Tights were continuing down the same road into the sunset as Bardock and Gine flew next to the car.
Narrator: "As Goku and his friends and family continue their quest, what will befall them next? The race is on as both good and evil forces converge. Which force will be the first to unlock the mystery of the 7 magic Dragon Balls? The adventure continues, next 'Dragon Ball M'!"
A/N: And they're off! The adventure has just begun. That oughta start things off a bit livelier, right? :)
