Dragon Ball
Part 1: The Monkey's Tale
Prologue: Bulma and Son Goku

Author's Note: This goes for every single chapter: I do not own Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, or Dragon Ball GT. I do not own Viz Communications which translated the manga I am using for this fan fiction.

This begins a story of friendships, struggles, power, and Dragon Balls.
This is the great tale of Akira Toriyama, a master of the manga genre. This story retells Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball, a series based on a manga, Journey to the West, involving "The Monkey King" Son Wukong, with his magic staff Nyoi-bo and his magic cloud Kinto'un. Dragon Ball is only slightly based on it, and not limited to it.
For those who have only seen the FUNimation dub of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z on television, I strongly advise you to read this, as it tells the real story of a great manga and anime.
This story (the one I am writing), tells the real story of Dragon Ball, from Mr. Toriyama's original plans. It only tells the story of the manga, and though the anime has everything that the manga has, the manga doesn't have everything the anime has, and this is even more true with Dragon Ball Z. From the Saiyan Saga alone there are so many elements missing in the manga (the manga came first, mind you: The anime added the extra parts), such as the Nappa and Vegeta's landing on Arlia, Tenshinhan, Chaozu, Yamcha, and Kuririn training in the "Pendulum Room", Son Goku actually having gone into the Room of Spirit and Time during Dragon Ball, Son Goku hitting Gregory on the head with a hammer, Son Goku falling off of the Serpent Road into Hell, Son Goku meeting Princess Snake, most of the Kami-sama training in early DBZ, Son Gohan's second oozaru transformation, and much of Son Goku's and Son Gohan's adventure in training for the Saiyans (all of the filler stuff). Though I am not sure about the later Tankoban of Dragon Ball Z about the Anoyoichi Budokai (Heaven Tournament) and the Great Saiyaman Saga. It would be appreciated if you could contact me at Supersmash20@aol.com if you know the answer to this.
From Son Goku fighting the Big Fish to Son Goku Jr. fighting Vegeta Jr., from the Searching for the Dragon Balls Saga to the Evil Shenlong Saga, from Son Goku's first Jan-Ken Rock, to Son Goku's last Chou Genki Dama, from Dragon Ball Vol. 1 to Dragon Ball Z Vol. 42, to Dragon Ball GT Episode Sixty-Four, sit back, relax, and enjoy, the wonderful tale...of Dragon Ball.
