Chapter 1: Emperor Pilaf & The Dragon Balls

Episode 1: Android 21's Arrival in The Past

A small, blue, imp-looking creature wearing a green, red and black tunic with a frill on the neck calling himself Emperor Pilaf and his two underlings, Shu and Mai, had just found the One-Star Dragon Ball in some dungeon. This was the so-called Emperor Pilaf. Shu was an anthropomorphic dog (a Shiba Inu) dressed as ninja while Mai was a serious looking tall woman with blue eyes and long black hair with bangs. She wore teal trench coat with a red star insignia on each shoulder, a brown belt with a pistol holster attached to it from the right hip, beige slacks, and brown combat boots. Emperor Pilaf grinned callously, "I got it at last. Soon the world will be mine." He laughed evilly.

Mai however reminded him, "We still need to collect the other six of them to summon Shenron the eternal dragon before we can wish for world domination"

Emperor Pilaf said, "No matter. I am now one step closer to my goal." He motioned to Shu who picked up the ball. "Nothing can stop me now."

As on cue to Emperor Pilaf's statement, an even taller woman with pink skin, pointed ears and a tail known as Android 21 arrived in a machine made of scrap onto a field of wheat in the middle of the night. She wore a black tube top with black arm sleeves and white baggy pants. Her eyes were red, and the normally white outer layer of the eyeball was black. The machine then broke apart from the stress not that the woman cared as it had served its purpose of allowing 21 in escaping the powerful fighters of the future. They had been stronger the records shown when they came to stop her from attempting to feed on normal humans. She hadn't had absorbed enough energy to beat them in open combat so had fled back to her creator's lab where she had laboured in creating a time machine. She wasn't stupid enough to face them after what happened. Knowing that they would stop her, she had decided to flee away from them. 21 stepped away from the wreckage and licked her lips as the entire world was now an open buffet for her. Only a few people should be strong enough to be able to fight her currently. However, if she were to eliminate the weakest of them first then the others will fall as she will absorb enough energy to become strong. No one in her records should be strong enough to stop her now. She strolled towards the farm where a farmer came out holding a gun. He demanded, "Who is there."

21 said with a grin, "The last face you will see." And with the flick of her fingers and a little bit of effort, the farmer was turned into candy. He was quickly eaten. It wasn't the best she had eaten but it would do. The rest of the farm hands who lived on the farm were soon eaten and converted into energy. Slightly increasing her strength. Now her hunger was satiated for the moment, she realized that the best course of action was to head to Capsule Corp to steal the Dragon Ball Radar. These were the biggest threat to herself and the quest would give her purpose in the meantime. Plus, the quest would ensure that she would of opportunity to gain energy. Perhaps enough to absorb the dragon at the end. 21 had the perfect plan in stealing it. Frist she would transform back into her human form so she can walk right into the building without drawing attention to herself. But before she would do anything else however, it was time from another snack. She stalked off in the rough direction of Capsule Corp.

In the distant future a slim yet well-built young man with purple or lavender hair named Trunks slipped away from his mother's party to investigate unknowingly to him Doctor Gero's Lab. He wore an indigo jacket reaching his abdomen with the Capsule Corporation logo on the left sleeve over black tank-top, dark grey trousers with a white belt and golden boots. His broadsword hung on his back. While everyone was happy that they had defeated the fearsome Android 21. Trunks was worried that she was still a threat so tracked her down to this lab. As soon as he entered, he found had intermediately found a dead elderly man on the floor. Trunks recognized him from a picture at Capsule Corp as Doctor Gero. Looking into the lab further he discovered Android 21 had fled to another universe with a time machine designed by Doctor Gero. Plans for a time machine were open on a table and technology had been taken apart. According to a couple of undisturbed records, Doctor Gero had constructed a prototype time machine with an abandoned scheme to send androids into to the past to help the Red Ribbon Army and kill Goku. According to his notes, his brief trip to the past resulted in another timeline so he did not brother continue with this plan. Trunks then became worried about the other universe that 21 had fled too. It would be in danger. The weakened 21 was still a threat despite Goku and his father Vegeta uttering destroying her in a fight. Especially with the DNA of Frieza, Frieza's father King Cold & Majin Buu mixed with the Human, Saiyan & Namekian DNA. Frieza, King Cold & Majin Buu were powerful threats by themselves so combined meant 21 would be even more dangerous then them. He hurried to find Doctor Gero's prototype and any documentation on 21.

Elsewhere back in the past on Mount Paozu, a black-haired boy with a monkey tail had arrived to his little house with his dinner he caught himself. He was living by himself after his grandfather Gohan had passed away. Gohan had trained him as a fighter so Goku was strong enough to hunt by himself and was able to live by himself. He glanced over to The Four-Star Dragon Ball that Gohan had just given him before his death. Satisfied it was still there, he got onto eating his dinner.
