Prologue

Forrest Gump said that life was a box of chocolates you never know what you'll get. Well in terms of candy I like to think my life is like sours balls, sucks big time. Little did I know I was in for a change of major fortune. I also notice how cliché life changing things can happen, especially when involves being transported into a different reality and time frame. It's either a dark pitch black portal appearing out of thin air, an electrical storm and electronic equipment, or something appearing in a dream causing death in the mind. As cliché as all that, I fell into category number two, the old electrical rain storm and electronic device shtick. The electronic device in question was my Television and I was watching Dragon Ball's last episode. It was raining outside and I wasn't feeling well, frankly I felt like someone could kill me in the most painful way possible and I would thought it was a release. Anyway, the lightning got worse and of all things that I've seen in my life I've never been up close and personal with them before, nor do ever want to again.

The lightning lanced down from the sky, a divine instrument of god lashing out striking our direct TV dish, the bolt fried out our receptors apparently mind had a faulty wire somewhere inside the casing. Because the next thing I know I'm struck by a lightning bolt, sending 1.21 gigawatts of electricity into my body which was beyond words of pain, and instead flying back or something I fell forward slowly feeling my mind begin to shut down, then before I think my life ended I felt a pull forward then nothing.

When I first came too I realize two things, one I wasn't dead, the pain surging all over my body told me I wasn't and the second thing was, I was outside because I felt a breeze and smelled outside air. I also heard voices both vaguely familiar yet not my sister, her boyfriend, or my dad. "You think he's alright?" a woman's voice asked .

"Don't know he smoking, but he's breathing," another voice this time male. I groaned and tried to open my eyes. After reorienting my head I was finally able to do just that, and regretted it. I gasped in pain at the sudden amount of light hitting my face I closed my eyes and put my hands in my face. "hey you're okay," the male voice stated gently. I felt myself being lifted and actually cradled by someone, the fact that I felt breasts meant I had been picked up by the woman.

"He's so cute," the woman gushed and since my eyes were extremely sensitive I decided to let my other senses fill my brain in on the major wrongness of being picked up by a woman. I'm twenty-eight years of age in order for a woman to pick me up in a cradled position, I'd either have to sitting in the woman's lap or the woman was extremely strong. The fact that I could feel from my shoulders and knees that she lacked the right muscle tone to be super strong. Though I could tell she was athletic, she was muscled but they were defined or trained, and judging by the fact my left thumb was lightly poking her on the underside of her breast meant she was well endowed. Next I decided to do something else, take mental measurements of myself, the first thing a realized was I fit rather snugly in the woman's arms and could hear that I wasn't giving her any problems carrying me. After all these things came together it all added to one thing, somehow the lightning strike made me shrink.

"Goku, how did he just appear out of thin air like that?" the woman asked, causing me to frown a bit. Goku was very much a borderline Chinese and Japanese name, and happens to be the name of one of my favorite anime characters.

"I don't know Chichi, um, how old do you think he is?" Goku asked sounding utterly confused.

The answer was what I was waiting for, and I had a feeling I wasn't going to like it. "I'd say he's about four Goku," Chi stated and the pit in my stomach seemed to cave in on itself. Somehow the lightning storm not only caused me to apparently appear out of thin air but also beyond reasonable doubt sent me into the body of a four year old child. I risked opening my eyes again this time there was no pain just a slight wince as I adjusted to the light. Finally I looked at my surroundings, which I had a hard time doing considering I was in the arms of Son Chichi cradled against her impressive bust. The surrounding area was a mass of rolling grassy hills, huge mountain plateau's, lush green forests, and a small house on top of the hill. "Oh look Goku he finally opened his eyes, he's adorable," the woman cooed tightening her hug on me. Many things in my life before this moment could be considered milestones, passing my driver's test, graduating from high school, going to the 2005 Royal Rumble, all the times I went to Disneyland, this was another huge milestone to me, being hugged by one of my favorite anime mothers easily tops right along side Kushina Uzumaki. That was until I looked at my body, I was dressed in what was left of my clothing, which was beginning to stop smoking, my shoes were gone, my jeans were ripped in several places, and my shirt might as well be ash. I looked up at the man and kept the surprised from my face that Goku was was indeed the same Goku I knew from Dragon Ball by doing the one thing that most four year old's did when they're in pain, scared, and lost, I cried. Chichi apparently thought Goku was scaring me because she held me closer and scolded Goku. "You're scaring him Goku."

"I'm sorry Chichi," Goku stated. I looked out from the crook Chichi's dress to see how Goku reacted and felt a bit guilty at the chagrined expression on his face.

"hey what's your name, little one?" Chichi asked her face was extremely gentle and something I had missed since my own mother passed away. I couldn't really think of a name at present most were names I used in fan fiction or RPG's I've been in over the years and none I wanted to use.

"I don't know," I stated softly the distress was real.

"Um, did you get knocked in the head real hard?" Goku asked.

I shaking my head, "lightning got hit by it," I stated trying not to use complex words. I also made a body movement showing I had been electrocuted. Chichi immediately took pity on me, holding me close.

"He's staying with us, besides Gohan would love an older brother," Chichi stated and Goku nodded with a bright smile.

The days went by Chichi introduced me to one year old Gohan, she even gave me a name, Son Shiro. As such I began to take my role as older brother of Gohan as seriously as older male siblng could, I pestered him, teased him, or played with him. This caused Chichi no amount of irritation but she was unbelievably patient with me, as well as extremely loving towards me. As for Goku I would sit and watch him train, and after a week I started to mimic him, causing him to laugh, and decided to train me. This got him into trouble with Chichi until I said I was having fun, after that she reluctantly agreed to it. So my martial arts training began in earnest, with surprising results. About a month after my training began, I could spar with Goku almost the entire day before getting tired. It was after one of these training sessions that I found the four star dragon ball. Goku saw me looking at it, "I see you found the dragon ball."

I looked at for a moment, "What is a dragon ball, dad?" I stated.

"Well there are seven balls in all, if you collect all seven then summon a Dragon, the Dragon grants you any wish you want provided it's within the power to grant," Goku explained having memorized Bulma's mantra for the dragon balls.

I had the good sense to let my eyes bulge at the prospect because I had a keen idea at the same time. "Say daddy can I make a wish?"

Goku brows furrowed, "But Shiro I only have two of them, we'd have to look for them."

I looked down and pouted, I was getting good act acting like four again, "Oh."

Goku was scratching his head and looked to be grinding his gears like crazy trying to figure out what to do. Until it came to a grinding halt, "I got it, just hope your mother don't get mad," he stated then walked into the house a few seconds later I hear my new mother.

"WHAT! GOKU ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!" she screamed I winced. I never ever understood why Goku and Vegeta had been afraid of their wives. I mean at the end of the series they were the strongest beings in the universe, yet the one thing they could beat them were the women they were in love with. So I figured the sex must be good.

A few minutes later Goku emerged with a bright smile though he looked a little battered, "Let's go son, your mom said we can go hunting for the dragon balls, and along the way we can train."

After making a trip to West City to meet with Bulma to get the dragon radar and introduce me to his first childhood friend. Meeting Bulma was interesting, he of coursed explained everything to her, and Bulma gave me her utmost sympathy as well as a kiss on the forehead. Needless to say I didn't wash my forehead for awhile. After that Goku and I made good time looking around for the dragon balls as for the training it went along great, I still couldn't land so much as a kick on Goku but I was getting better. As we collected the last dragon ball, we made our way back home. Chichi ran out hugged me and kissed me then brought both of us into the house. After dinner was done, Goku set the dragon balls out and called the dragon. To say I was impressed can be considered an understatement, the dragon in real life was huge, and menacing. "Okay Shiro make your wish."

"Um, dad can I have second alone, with the dragon," I asked sweetly. Looking confused but nodded and left me alone with the huge serpent. I looked up at the monster with determination not sure what would happen. "I wish to become a Saiyan," I stated the dragon's eyes glowed red then I felt my body turn into a thousand knives. I dropped to my gritting my teeth as the transformation finished. I stood up weakly and saw my tail out the corner of my eye.

"You're Wish Has Been Granted!" the dragon bellowed and in flash the dragon balls scattered well, most of them. Goku leapt into the air and caught the stone four star ball. I quickly grabbed my tail, and yanked hard, and to say it was painful pulling it out is like saying pulling out teeth without novacain. So I held the limp brown fur in my hand, then tossed it into the forest, just before Goku reappeared.

He walked up with a smile, "So did you get your wish?"

I nodded a bright smile on my features, "Yeah, wanna spar dad?" I asked he quickly got into a stance and I launched into an attack.

Days turned into months, months became years, and five months before Gohan's fifth birthday the Z arc in the Dragon Ball universe began. Gohan and I were taken to meet Krillin, Master Roshi, and Bulma I knew what was going to happen and really dreaded it. Goku was my father now and the thought of what was going to happen to him before the day was over was depressing. There was also another thing that kind of depressed me, was the fact I couldn't ride on the Nimbus cloud unless I rode on Goku's lap. I always dreamed of riding it you see, but I also knew that the thing couldn't stand the weight of negative, perverted, or dishonest thought. Being a grown man in a nine year old body, I had a history of lies, perverted thoughts, and wanted one person dead for one reason or another, so the first time I tried to hop on to the nimbus I fell straight through. Goku and Chichi wondered why though, I held out a toy that took from Gohan's toy chest to cover it up, I got scolded and nearly grounded by Chichi, but Goku quickly quelled her anger.

Anyway the reunion went off without a hitch and actually was longer than what the anime showed, after all it cut to the fight between Raditz and Piccolo during the reunion. It was fun, Goku and Bulma explained I had been adopted, then they met Gohan. In the mean time I was standing looking up at the sky, when I sense him. "Um, dad, something's coming."

This was beginning of the biggest hell of my new life, things that happened between Goku, Piccolo, and Raditz happened. I could fly now but I wasn't very fast, so I went with Bulma and the others. Things that happened afterward though changed slightly, apparently Piccolo sensed the potential in me and brought me along with Gohan, unfortunately for me, I didn't stay with Gohan. Since I was older and had more training, I didn't need to go through the survival training Gohan went through instead, Piccolo put me through his version of training. Every night I went to bed sore, every morning I found myself kicked into the sky. It went like this for six months then, Gohan joined me in misery. After three months the triple threat fights were off between me and Gohan as we united against the common threat, the two of us together were able to put Piccolo into traction more than once.

This went on until Nappa and Vegeta appeared, things started out pretty much same except I wanted to buy Goku enough time to get here. So I challenged one of the saibamen, then drug the fight on as long as possible, needless to say I must of impressed some of them, when I sensed Goku arrive I made sure the fight stayed focused on me and when I saw Gohan feel it, and about to shout I let the Saibaman kick me in his direction, forcing my step brother to duck. I did a neat flip and launch back at the thing this time using a Ki blast point blank, in the green goons, killing it. I felt a bit of remorse killing it, but in a fight of life and death I didn't hesitate. The fight overall changed because of my being there Yamcha, Tien, Piccolo, and Chaozu were never killed by the Saibamen nor Nappa, because the moment I killed the Saibaman Goku appeared.

Because of this though the battle with Vegeta had taken on a new meaning, Goku wasn't as badly hurt and therefore recovered faster. However Piccolo still was killed, Gohan unable to move when a stray ki blast was directed at him, Piccolo jumped in front of it and saved Gohan's life.

I wasn't able to go to Namek, Chichi refused to let both me and Gohan go at the same time, she cried at the thought of losing both her sons. This gave me pause, Chichi had become my adoptive mother and did so with her entire heart and soul, she may not have given birth to me but to her I was her son. I stayed because of that, still didn't get me to stop training though, instead I asked Doctor Briefs to make another ship with a gravity generator after Goku left so I could train in it. He did so gladly and I started as Goku did with 10 times Earth normal gravity and put myself through the paces like he did until I reached nearly 200 times Earth's normal gravity, I stepped out a month later clothing stinking, face drench in sweat, but I was good to go. Next I went into the deepest forest and tried to become a Super Saiyan. It wasn't easy but unlike Vegeta I had examples to follow, namely him and Goku's transformations. It took a while but one night it happened, and it happened during a nightmare, one whopper of one too. I woke screaming in a blinding rage and then everything around me went yellow. When the Androids came and then later Cell, I fought the Android to a stand still before Goku called me off and had Gohan finish the fight. I reluctantly agreed, more because I was hoping to go Super Saiyan 2 before Gohan, but that didn't happen then. Gohan transformed, Cell blew himself rematerialized killed Trunks, Gohan killed Cell, we wished Trunks and those killed by Cell back to life, Goku remained dead. Now it's time for the real story to begin.
