Author's Note: Since my LXG story is lacking a carry on from other writers in the Killermovies.com forums, I decided to post it here!

I've had an idea for a different version of LXG for a long time. Instead of characters from classical literature, I chose familiar faces from animes/mangas I knew. I only picked ones that I was familiar with, so that I wouldn't mess up with the material. I may have good notes for this fic, but I have no idea how this story should start out and don't have a plot quite yet. So, I thought I'd post this and have you fellow fic writers help me with it! I hope to see some of my pals here soon. Come on Lavie, x- women, airangel, tigertears, and whoever else! here is the list of LXG members that I chose:

Prologue

Rated: PG-13

Category: Anime Crossovers

Genre: Action/Adventure/Fantasy

Synopsis: ? *the plot is spontaneous and is up to you writers to give me suggestions and when I think of my own.*

Spoiler: This story takes place after the Kid Buu Saga in Dragonball Z and ignore the part where Goku was training Uub.

Completeness: Prologue with more chapters on the way

Disclaimer: Of all the anime characters that I'll soon introduce into the story later on, do not belong to me but to the wonderful people who created them. The Airax and Lupin are of my original creations, so no one can use them without my permission! Jonathan and James are original characters, from which I went with a suggestion from one of my ff.net reviewers.

The League of Extraodinary Gentlemen

~Prologue: The Mysterious Strangers~

Location: Japan; Time: Present Day (2003)

A tall man, that looked to be in his mid 30's and with spikey ashen colored hair, shifted slowly into a fighting stance. His gaze was focused on his son standing opposite from him in a wide open field edged with a forest and a single capsule hut that was their house. After Goten followed suit of his father's stance, Goku nodded and asked, "Ready?"

The seventeen year old nodded his consent, just as a gentle breeze began to blow across the field. "Alright, here I come!" yelled Goku in response. Suddenly, the man's image began to waver, as if he were an image on a television screen going out of focus. Goten heightened his senses and tried his best to focus on his father's energy signature.

While his son was trying to sense him, Goku had appeared behind the boy. He decided not to attack just yet, wanted to see what the boy was ready to do next. Suddenly, Goten whipped around to face his father and yelled, "Ah ha! Found you!" Quickly raising his hands up and together out from his chest and a light blue sphere of energy began to form and grow bigger. Just when Goten was about to release the deadly energy blast he held, Goku immediately did a back flip right over his head to land behind him.

Before the boy even had a chance to do something about it, his father crouched down with a leg out and brought Goten's feet from under him. With his mind distracted by the unexpected move, Goten accidentally released the blue sphere. Just when you thought he was going to fall to the ground, the demi-saiyan used his ability hover to prevent hitting the grass. Shifting tactics before he decided to land, Goten rammed his left elbow to try to slam it into Goku's stomach. Which, to his surprise, made contact.

Goten's raven hued eyes flickered to gaze over his shoulder and saw that he had sent his father crashing to the ground. Shifting his angle in mid-air and raising his fist, brought it down towards the body. But, the only thing that his hand accomplished was phasing through one of his father's illusions. Goku had learned that technique many years ago from Master Roshi, of when he was just a young lad. As Goten stared at the fading image, someone from behind suddenly hit him hard across the back. (A/N: I've never seen Goku use this technique in Dragonball Z, so I thought it would be nice to hear of it again.)

The blow sent Goten to the ground. Lying on his stomach, he quickly raised himself to a push-up like position, tucked his legs under him, and then kicked off the ground. Flipping himself upright and back on his feet, Goten launched into a double team kick towards his father standing nearby.

Goku took to the air as his son whizzed by him, right underneath his booted feet. Within a matter of a few split seconds, he flew over and appeared behind Goten's flying form. Since the boy's back was in the open of no protection, Goku delivered a swift kick to the place just between the shoulders. All of a sudden, he saw his foot phase right through Goten's back! Goku smiled as he came to a landing on the soft grass and thought to himself, 'Smart boy!'

Shortly after Goku had just landed, his sense heightened to reveal a big energy signature coming in from his right. With the sudden scent of soil filling his nostrils, he raised a muscular arm up to block Goten's blow. Sure enough, the man soon felt the impact of heavily dirty boots smashing against his arm.

As the two saiyans were frozen in that position, Goku said, "For a second there, I was worried that your back and feet were becoming your weak points." With that line said and done, the two warriors resumed their warm- up battle. Son and Father spent the rest of the morning and afternoon tearing up and down the whole field. They used physical attacks when they were grounded and energy blasts when airbourne. Some of the trees soon became bare of all its leaves from too many shifts in the wind that held such force. The lush, grassy field soon became filled with dug up, dirt scars. Sadly, to nature's dismay, the saiyans took no notice of this and continued their rough housing.

Also, gone unnoticed by Goku and Goten, was that the fact there was a helicopter up in the sky less than a mile away from their location. The mysterious helicopter was of a metallic shade of silver with no signs of this contraption coming from Capsule Corp. Sitting inside were two passengers dressed in expensive suits and two pilots up front flying the chopper towards the fields of Japan. One of the men that was dressed in a deep blue suit and had hair as black as night, had his deep blue eyes searching the landscape outside his window.

The man sighed heavily and leaned the side of his face onto his fist, he was extremely bored and tired of sitting in one place for so many odd hours that he didn't even want to keep count of. The blue eyes gazed over tree tops and could see a break in them not far ahead. Suddenly, flashes of blue and yellow light came flaring up from the tree tops. For a while there, the man arched an eyebrow in mild surprise, but soon remembered what those flashing lights could be. "It looks to be like we are getting closer to meeting this great and legendary super saiyan that is known as Goku, my friend." The man spoke to his assistant without looking at the crimson haired man in a black suit next to him. His ward said nothing for they were coming into view of the saiyan's field. (A/N: Not sure if these men should have accents, for I am not sure of where this story is going to take place most of the time over the course of the league's adventures.)

Down on the ground in the field below, the two battling warriors had paused for a temporary break in their warm up. Both were sweating heavily and their bodies covered in dirt, cuts, and minor bruises. Out of nowhere, Goten could sense something coming their way and pricked his ears up to listen for any noises to hint to him at what it was. Closing his eyes to focus, the demi-saiyan could hear a faint sound of revolving propellers in the not so far distance towards the forest. Concentrating harder and digging deeper into his saiyan senses, he could now get a flash of an image of a silver helicopter flying over the tree tops. Scrunching his eye lids down tighter, Goten got an image of a four men in suits on board.

"Someone's coming!" Goten heard his father yell and point skywards. Snapping his eyes open to look up, Goten announced, "A helicopter with four men in suits are on board." Pausing for a moment and trying to remember the images he received, "I can't seem to pick up what kind of energy they have. Good or bad."

Goku observed the model of the plane, there were no gun barrels loaded onto the wings or head of the chopper. So, he flew over towards the unidentified aircraft since seeing the lack of weapons. Feeling a couple of shifts in the air behind him, Goku knew that both of his sons were right behind him. The trio flew up right to the windows and hovered there until the chopper came to a landing upon the ground not far from their house. As Goku looked into the windows, sure enough, there were four men inside like Goten had said.

Goku ascended down to the ground near the side doors of the chopper. Meanwhile, his sons followed suit and guarded the other doors, passenger and controls. The side panels slide open and two strange men in suits climbed out. For some reason, their energy signatures were unreadable. So, the saiyans couldn't tell if these new arrivals were good or evil.

The one in the cerulean suit and carrying a suitcase spoke first, "I'm assuming that this is the Son residence. We need to talk to Son Goku of this prefecture, it's of the utmost importance."

"I'm Goku," said the latter stepping forward. "What do you want to talk to me about?" Personally, he thought this could be about the bills or politics.

"We have a preposition to offer you, but let's not discuss this out here," the raven haired man spoke again. He looked about the place over his dark shades suspiciously for a few seconds before bringing his gaze over to the house of the saiyans. "May we come in?" The man jerked his head towards the direction of said place.

"Sure," replied Goku as he lead the gathering over and into the tiny house. He sat them down in the kitchen, but decided not to offer them lunch until he knew full on what this was all about. "Speak." The saiyan had said that a little harsh without meaning to. His attitude always had an edge after he didn't eat directly after training all day. 'Gosh, I start to sound like Vegeta when I'm hungry!' Goku laughed to himself.

"I would prefer to talk to you alone on this matter, saiyan, but it looks as though your sons are not willing to leave your side. So, I'll start this by saying my name is Jonathan Vale. My assistant here is James Ryan. We are here to offer you the opportunity of a life time. And no, we are not solicitors trying to sell you something. Son Goku, it has been your history to save the world over and over, so we are wondering if you would like to save this earth once more."

"I get that, but."

"What do you want our father to do?" interrupted Gohan, who was sitting to his father's left. "Mr. Vale, you keep saying that you want my dad to do something of importance for you, but why not cut to the chase?"

Before Jonathan could answer, James (A/N: the crimson haired one) spoke up, "This mission we are sending your father on requires him to travel through time to gather a league of history's finest warriors. But, he must do this alone, for he-" But, the man did not get the chance to finish his speech for there came sudden noises of thundering feet and something crashing into the walls of the capsule house. Such outside force was causing dust to fall from the ceiling and objects to rattle in their places.

Alarmed, Goku and the gang jumped from their seats and raced over to the family room window to get a peek outside. The men in suits stood at either side of the saiyan. Behind their dark shades, their eyes narrowed as they realized what was going on. "No Ryu." Both said under their angered breaths. (A/N: "No Ryu" is plural for "dragons," I think.)

For out in the fields around them, there were slender bodied, oversized reptilians running about and trying to break down the little hut by force. The dragons had a similar body structure to a veilosorapter (A/N: Remember Jurassic Park!) with an emerald hue to their scales. They had big, vicious looking set of golden eyes, fangs, and claws. As some rammed their bodies against, their magenta manes would flop about in the wind and their silver armor would glitter in the sun light. The others were blasting red energy spheres from their mouths or hands as they destroyed the field further.

Not able to take this any longer, all the occupants of the hut came bursting through the front door to try and stop this madness. The saiyans were shocked as their guests followed them outside, for they had assumed that those two had very little to no battle experience. Oh, but the surprise didn't end there!

To Goku's left, James Ryan leapt to the air and his body structure began to waver, then transfigure into something not human. The man's skin began to grow crimson fur as his eyes changed from green to silver. As James' head starting to alter its form, his arms transformed into huge feathery wings that tore the sleeves of his coat down the seems. The bones in his legs began to shift, making his knees bend the other way. One way to tell that his legs were so different now, was when the claws of his eagle like feet were sticking out of the new holes in his shoes.

With his transformation complete as soon as the silver mist cleared, James soon became a blur of blue and red within the sky as he jetted about the field with incredible speed. When he was visible, the saiyans could now see an enormous bird dressed in a torn up blue suit, with the upper body and head of a kitsune. (A/N: Kitsune means "fox." By the way, James is an Airax, a creature of my own creation. The Airax first appeared in my dragonball z/harry potter crossover story. If you have the time, I suggest you read that story!) After an exact minute, the blur had knocked out nearly a dozen no ryu to the ground unconscious or dead.

Wanting to see what happened to Jonathan Vale, the saiyans brought their gaze to ground level to see a mist of blue smoke surrounding the man's body as he ran towards the middle of the larger group of dragons. Vale instantly transformed into a creature that looked somewhat like an ookami, but bigger. (A/N: Ookami means "wolf.") The saiyans weren't able to see the rest of the transformation for the fog around the wolf had thickened, obstructing their view. Suddenly, James came flying over the mist, blowing it away to reveal a creature that looked to be a cross of a wolf and a suicone. (A/N: You are familiar with Pokemon right?)

With a forget-me-not blue, diamond shaped horn crowned upon that proud baby blue head with a white muzzle and a single dark pink stripe on either cheek. A huge entrail of silky, deep purple mane came flowing from the head to almost past the fluffy tail. The striped body and white paws pounded heavily upon the ground, flinging dirt skywards as it went. Seeing the intruder, some of the dragons came racing towards the Lupin. (A/N: I know it wasn't very original to use the Harry Potter character's name, but it sounded good to me. Another original creature creation of mine!)

Coming to a screeching halt, the Lupin just stood there as it waited for the foolish dragons to get closer. Once the creatures were in range, Vale unleashed four of his silvery, head ribbons from their hiding spots amongst his mane and sent them out to whiplash the dragons in the face. He alternated the ribbons to also grip and throw his foes about. When the Lupin's ribbons were full and a dragon was charging him head on, Vale opened his mouth wide and a fine jet of icy breath came shooting out. The mist enveloped the ryu that immediately became a huge frozen statue of ice.

The saiyans had joined in the rough housing shortly after Jonathan had finished transforming, but they still couldn't believe their eyes at what they were seeing! (A/N: NEW CONTENT STARTS HERE.) Once men.now beastials? What the heck was going on here? As the battle continued and more dragons were taken down, the no ryu's numbers were decreasing, so the clan began to race about the group of justice warriors. Soon, their bodies became colorful streaks as they raced about jabbing the saiyans and youkais with easy getaways. The saiyans almost stopped battling, for they had not expected the dragons to be quite so fast, but that wasn't a problem, they had that technique too. Goten and the Lupin were the only ones struggling a bit to keep up with the speed of their opponents.

With is heart and mind racing, Goten took a deep breath and tried to concentrate on his timing to smack the sense out of a dragon. He could feel the wind whipping by him, then suddenly felt a slight pain for claw marks had appeared on his back and arms all of a sudden. Goku hovered in the air nearby his son, to keep an eye on him as he smacked two of the dragons' heads together and sent them hurtling toward earth.

No matter how many of those pesky dragons the group took down, more seem to come racing to their fallen comrades rescue. Where were they coming from? Some of the new fleets seemed to be racing out of the forest and some from the tree tops to join the battle. Goku assumed they were great climbers since the dragons could climb and leap about the branches with ease and not fall once. Jetting over to a nearby tree, the saiyan reached over and yanked one down from a tree by its slender tail. The reptilian released its grip and allowed to be pulled away to then whip around and snap a mouthful of fangs for Goku's face. Given to a saiyan's great agility and strength, Goku was quick to grab the dragon by the scaly neck before the teeth reached his skin. Holding the creature back, proved to not go over well for it lashed out with one clawed hand and left bleeding gashes along the side of Goku's face. The saiyan only grimaced in response, not about to show the dragon that it hurt. No sooner had he recovered from that and was trying to squeeze the life out of it through the armour, a sudden prickling pain shot through his hand. Yelping in pain, Goku released his grip on the dragon and turned to look at his hand.

With no strength holding the tail, the dragon slid it away like a viper. Watching this, Goku noticed the huge spikes that trailed along the top of the dragon's tail suddenly retracted a few inches, back to its stubby length. Pissed off, Goku decided that he had enough of playing gentle with the wild life and aimed his palm towards the ryu that had stabbed him. At that exact moment, the saiyan could sense another dragon coming his way from behind. Shifting his stance, so that both palms aimed in the proper directions, yelled at the top of his longs, "Ayumi-yoru!" (A/N: Ayumi-yoru means "split the difference" in Japanese.) Huge blue spheres of energy began to form in his hands. Concentrating his strength of the mind outwards, the blue spheres rocketed away and slammed into the dragons' chests hard. The reptilians were sent flying to crash into another part of their clan, plus their suits of armour shattered to pieces upon impact.

Inhaling a breath of fresh air to calm his nerves, Goku smiled a small smile despite the aches and pains all over his body. His smile soon faded once he realized that someone was tugging at back of his battle suit's collar. Not sure of who it was, Goku whipped around and grabbed at the feathery beastial by the scruff of the neck that flew a few inches away from his head from the sky. Raven eyes focusing upon silver ones, it soon dawned on Goku that this was only James Ryan in his Airax form. The saiyans ash hued hair flapped about in the breeze that James was creating with his might wings. "Goku," said the Airax in a rough voice with a slight screeching sound that made it sound edgy. "We must go now for there are too many of them upon us!" Following the creature's order, Goku took to the sky and out of the dragons' reach.

Above an angry heard of dragons that were madly trying to leap to the air and get at them, Goten fly over to where he saw the Airax and his father hovering. With Vale (Lupin) slung over his back and paws around his neck, the demi-saiyan joined the others. "Vale, what do you want us to do now?" he asked.

"What's the quickest way to the Lookout?" asked the latter. When he received a quizzical look from the saiyans, "I'll explain later, just get us there!" The last line was said in a matter of alarm, for some of the dragons had gotten wise and began leaping from the trees at the warriors in the air.

Feeling the some of the claws coming too close for comfort, Goku ordered them all to hold hands and float close together for him to perform Instant Transmission.

~TO BE CONTINUED~

~Author's Notes~

Someone once said "wouldn't Goku over power the rest of the league with his powers?" yes, basically, but his powers and knowledge will have limits on the mission and throughout his travels with the league. The mission will almost always testing them. Good or bad.

Those aren't bad ideas, but I was aiming more for a couple of guys *can be familiar faces from other animes/mangas* that can inform Goku of the mission and/or help Goku gather the other members of the league. *keep stuff from the actual LXG movie in mind.*

Attack Guide:

Ayumi-yoru = split the difference

Goku's attack, the Ayumi-yoru, may not exist or be called by that name in Dragonball Z. Since I didn't know the proper name, I just made it up. This technique was originally going to form between two closed hands pressed together and then spread apart. The blue sphere that formed would split in two after the battle cry and be blasted towards the enemy. But, since Goku already had his hands at the ready and in the right stance, therefore I didn't feel the need to do it that way.

*Do I need to explain the other techniques from this chapter? I guess I can just put down original or originally named ones down here.*
