This story is set after the Baby incident, but before all hell literally breaks loose.
Disclaimer: I do not at time of writing own Dragonball Z or any of the other franchises featured in my story:
The Multi-Dimensional Crossover To End All Multi-Dimensional Crossovers
This is the real title of my story, but it wouldn't fit in the title bar. Now, lets get on with the show.
Bulma held the torch in her mouth with the kind of expertise that only comes from working without sleep for days. She currently had her head poked inside the underbelly of a massive, metallic cube on legs and was fiddling intently with some inner mechanism.
"Come on you stupid thing" she shouted, despite having a large torch wedged between her teeth.
"Why won't you just connect? You stupid piece of! Hey, it's done!" Bulma leapt into the air, or would have done if she weren't lying on her back underneath a massive mechanical err…erm…thing, well I guess that's the only way to describe it. She shot out from under her project and jumped in the air, her head and torso covered in oil.
"Yes! Go Bulma go! Go Bulma go! Oh I am the best, I can't wait until everyone hears about this, Miss Briefs you are a genius!"
Meanwhile…
"Goku! Goku! Come in here and lay the table for me!" Chi Chi roared up the stairs at her infant husband. Within a split second the table was immaculately set, and Goku was back upstairs, playing Super Smash Bros with Pan, Trunks and Goten.
"Hmm…I'll never understand that man, can't keep a room tidy for five seconds, but he can lay the table perfectly. Oh well, back to slave over a hot stove while they have fun."
Upstairs was a different place;
"Come on guys, that's not fair you should have paused, I was downstairs for ages and you beat me up while I couldn't defend myself." Goku whined, the Saiyans' reactions were much to fast for the normal game, so Bulma had pulled a few strings and had a 1000x speed game made for them.
"Wouldn't have made much of a difference if you had been here ha ha ha ha!" said Pan, teasing her Grandfather.
"Ha ha, good one Pan," laughed Trunks.
"Grr…I'm gonna get you for that Pan. Take that!"
"Too slow!"
"How about that!"
"Ha ha"
"Dinner's ready!" Chi Chi hollered up the stairs to the gang of Saiyans and was nearly blown over by the force of the displaced air as they shot past, but was grabbed by Goku.
"Hmm thank you Goku." Grumbled Chi Chi, embarrassed. "Someone get the phone!"
She then fell flat on her face as Goku sprung over to the buzzing phone, holding off Goten with a well aimed kick (our heroes were on a sugar high from sweets because they couldn't wait the two hours till their next meal)
"Hellowhoisit?" Goku blurted into the phone.
"Pardon Goku, what did you say?" said Bulma.
"Hellowhoisit?" a hyper Goku repeated.
A well-aimed frying pan sent Goku flying from the phone and Chi Chi caught the spinning handset in mid air.
"Hello!" she said in a warm, happy voice.
"Oh, hello Chi Chi" replied Bulma "Listen, I have something really important to show you and the others, so would you mind coming over."
"Ok, we'll be over right away, they've finished their dinner now. Bye!"
"Bye!"
Chi Chi lowered the handset, but it shattered under her iron grip before it could reach the nearest surface. The normally pleasant housewife turned around, the room warped under the force of her energy.
"I slave all day to feed you, and how do I get repaid? Nothing, not even a thanks!"
The sugar's effect wore off almost instantly as Goku nearly soiled himself in fear.
"No Chi Chi" please, I'm sorry please Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!"
The last group to arrive at Capsule Corp was the Son family, many of them sporting more than just minor injuries, they joined the rest of the Z-Senshi
"Wow Goku, what happened to you lot? Were you attacked by something or-?" yelled Krillin, but Chi Chi gave him a chilling death-glare that would have made Vegeta proud. This threat made the words die in his throat and he became very interested in anything that didn't involve Chi Chi.
"Now that you're all here, I can tell you the good news!" said Bulma, her happiness cutting through the tension like a buzz saw through paper. "My latest miracle invention is finished! This is like nothing that I have ever made before, and only someone of my brilliance could have even conceived the idea!"
"Blah blah blah. Woman just get to the point, I don't have all day!" Vegeta moaned.
"Grr…Vegeta if you don't shut up I'll shut you up, now sit down in the corner and keep your mouth shut" roared Bulma, the proud Saiyan prince nearly jumped through the roof, much to Goku's amusement.
"And you Goku!" Bulma snarled, before her sunny composure returned. "This device is an interdimensional transporter!"
"Oh, erm, I've always wanted one of those," said Videl, in an effort to be nice seeing as no one had any idea what she was on about.
"You know, an interdimensional transporter!"
"Oh, an interdimensional transporter, I thought you said outerdimensional transporter." Said Chi Chi, hopelessly lost.
"Ah, good to see one of you knows what I mean!" Bulma was too happy to be brought down by the ignorance of her friends.
"Now its only very weak, so we can only go to other dimensions in this reality, you know, like otherworld or that weird game show place that Goku went to."
"So we could…go…see Piccolo?" said Goku, his brain suffering slowdown as he tried to get his head around the idea.
"Even better than that, we could bring him back here, but the thing is I called you guys here to see how much ki this thing can transport, so I'm afraid that Chi Chi and Videl are gonna have to stay here, the rest of you, get up that ramp!"
The rag-tag group ran into the huge vehicle followed by Bulma,
"Bye you two, be back soon!" She waved back at the two mothers, a relieved look on their faces, they were glad because they didn't have to test out Bulma's machine, but also because they would have some peace and quiet!
Inside, after a brief and brutal seating argument, the Z-senshi were all strapped in, and after some furious typing into a control panel Bulma shouted;
"Then we get to other world we'll conduct our experiment, until the, lets test this thing out"
"What?" yelled Vegeta, a look of horror smacking him "You, you haven't tested this thing?"
"Don't tell me big old Vegeta is scared, now, lets go!" she whooped as she hit the obligatory big red button, and the machine whirred and disappeared.
Tell me what you thought, and remember to tell me where you want then to go, anything welcome.
