Dragon Ball Alternate Paths

by Awareness Bringer

Just a couple of "what if" scenarios for Goku/Kakarot's upbringing based on a couple of canonical sources and personal reinterpretations. Can be seen as up for grabs, but I may write some full stories of my own based on these one-shots. Please review when you can and do it constructively since they are important after all. Characters aren't listed in major roles, except "Goku".

Just before his Armored Squadron could move ahead with destroying the Attack Ball and the infantile Saiyan inside of it, Cooler intervened. Immediately, he thought of ignoring the unthreatening child and focus on the task at hand, but then another thought came to mind.

"Keep that Attack Ball within our range of communications and tracking, and leave behind certain instructions for the boy to follow once he lands on Earth."

Captain Salza appeared surprised. "Lord Cooler?"

"The Saiyans will be a rare commodity in the days to come, but this wayward offspring might prove useful to both my family's empire and my own ambitions." Cooler explained with a devious smirk. "If he dies on Earth at such a ripe age, I lose nothing. But if he remains within reach, I'll claim Earth as my own territory and mold that boy into an instrument to claim what is rightfully mine from my foolish brother and father once and for all."

And so, the Attack Ball was tracked on it's way to Earth where the Saiyan inside would follow Cooler's order, one way or another.

Had this thought in mind for a long while, and it seemed fitting since I intend to conclude Dragon Ball Alternate Paths. Have other things to do, you know. I don't know if I'll want to do a long story version of this, even if the upcoming movie finally introduced a non-Saiyan female in the Frieza Force in anime form, but I'll think about it. In the meantime, be ready for a version of the first Dragon Ball anime I'll be writing about which will have Goku/Kakarot raised by Bulma's family.

By the way, sorry it took me a long while to get back to this. Writing about multiple fandoms isn't easy, that's for sure. Anyway, I just want you all to know that with this update as well as my others for Dragon Ball Alternate Paths, Fairy Tail Alternate Paths, and Possibilities for Sonic Chronicles, I'll be taking a long break from writing about one-shots and challenge stories, so that I can focus on longer story writing, regardless of the length. I'll also be posting my stuff on Ko-fi a month before I do so on FanfictionNet, DeviantArt, and Archive of Our Own, so if you want, you're more than welcome to be on the easy access lookout.
