This entire is going to be one big authors note, while I try to fit into place all of my rather loosely organized ideas.

While I watch all of these shows, I started to wonder why it is that everyone is sometime obvious to the goings on of those around them, particularly in the Dragon Ball series of shows. I mean, gigantic battles that must break every local Richter Scale in town and no one cares to notice. No one ever proclaims any surprise at the apparent God-like strength of some of the main characters.

What's up with that?

I'm not sure when this present idea fell into place. Probably when I was thinking what would happen if the Z Fighters somehow existed in this reality. Probably wide-spread panic for a bit then we'd settle into the routine of invasion, death, resurrection at some later point. I then combined this idea with an episode of Justice League I saw where a few of the Leaguers got transported to an alternate universe which, oddly enough, was sending sub-conscious memories to a comic writer. What if those T.V. shows were just sub-conscious memories of parallel universes?

I also want to give credit to the book Childhoods End from which I got some ideas about how to fit everything in, as well as the show Yu-Yu Hakusho for ideas. After I get done with the framework of the story, I think you'll see just how intricate a web I have woven.

I have to stop there, because after that I start delving into too much of the plot, and why things are, but I can say this. As I developed the reluctant hero of Inrandel Strongblade, a forgotten saiyan boy transported from the soon-to-be-gone planet of Vegeta for the safety of the entire multi-verse, I decided that I simply needed more shows to amalgamate into my little scenario to provide some half-way decent storylines. To put it simply, let me say that those other universes have to run smoothly, and intervention on one side must be met on the other.

I plan on having each chapter be a separate adventure, so to speak, such as, "Inrandel and the such-and-such", so there may arise a dichotomy in the lengths of chapters, and I apologize. I also would like to test my character development skills by having our intrepid hero, Inrandel, be changed over time. He'll start off cautious and unsure of himself, move into being a cocky bastard, and end off being the confident superhero we all adore.

This work is rated R for a few reasons. First, the language. Second, the violence. Third, the sexuality. This is not for my own pleasures, rather, I think it only fair to explore all of the aspects of the life of this super-hero to be, rather than focusing solely on the punching part.

At the beginning and the end of each chapter will be Authors Notes with commentary and explanations, respectively.

Before I forget. I do not own Dungeons and Dragons, Dragon Ball (Z, GT, or otherwise), G Gundam, Charmed, Angel, Diablo 2.5, Justice League, X-Men, or Lord of the Rings. As well, I may easily bastardize any number of points about the shows within my ensuing tale. Please try not to focus on the other stories, but on the story I am presenting.

So, without further ado, I give you, Requiem for a Hero.
