Dragonball Fanfiction

On the other hand, he is a Prince though.

Somehow I don't think younger Bulma would be horrified.

I mean. That would imply Bulma has moral principles. Which isn't quite the case?

Like. She's capable of being nice, but not out of some sense that it's the right thing to do?

She does the right thing sometimes, but not because it's the right thing.

Which. Is true of a lot of the characters, actually.

Like. She's not mad at King Piccolo for being evil, but for hurting her friends and threatening her way of life. She doesn't do big abstract moral judgments.

The fact that Vegeta committed a lot of atrocities isn't quite something she seems to actually care about.

Also, I don't think Future!Bulma from that one timeline aged as well as Bulma has in Super and the end of Z. Which can be chalked up to how fucked that timeline is. Stress. Fear. Paranoia. Malnutrition.

Seriously, when food is already short, having to sustain a half-Saiyan would suck.

But anyway.

Goddamn I like this idea. Thank you Rob for having it.

Bulma has miniaturization technology, which could have helped to hide a lot of people from the androids, come to think about it.

I wonder if the androids ever reached Penguin Village. Arale's reaction to them would have been damn funny.

Thanks.

Too bad I'll probably never get to it. Well, not in this century that is. But it's something to keep in mind.

Double post.

Maybe as part of the idea I already mentioned, or maybe as something separate.

Jaco takes note that some earth technology is far more advanced than stuff in the rest of universe.

So he goes out to recruit Earth's two most prominent scientists: Dr. Gero and Dr. Briefs. The latter provides his incredible cyborg tech, while the former gives his capsule technology. Eventually, when she is old enough, Bulma is also recruited, and with her genius, she studies both diciplines and improves it. The result:

Powered Armor.

Just gonna leave this here first.

So yeah. As such, using this tech (especially the infinite energy generator and the energy absorbing tech) the Galactic patrol begins putting the boots to the Planet trade, actually pushing back Frieza's army. They may or may not prevent the saiyan recruitment into said army.

Note that since Gero became part of that group, he never joins the Red Ribbon, which prevents them from being too much of a threat either.

This one is still just a twinkle in my eye really, but I swear, I will create Powered Armour in Dragonball Z or kill all of you trying KILL MOST OF YOU TRYING.

What?

If Gero's there...

Why are they bothering with Power Armor when they can just have him make an army of Cell clones?

Since he's recruited before the Red Ribbon army is destroyed, he never gets far enough to consider making Cell and focuses on pure technological studies.

Also, I really want Powered Armour, so SHUT UP! That's why.

Why wouldn't he get the idea for Cell?

He'd kinda need to once Freeza enters the picture.

He'd need Namekians and Saiyans too.

Because I want Powered Armour Dammit!

Cell is in the way of that!

Don't try and mess up my dreams!

@Rob's Crisis-like multiverse idea: if GT is in there, does that mean that Dragonball Evolution is as well?

No.

There's literally nothing that would allow that world to exist.

I mean.

No, I think Dragon Ball Evolution would make it. Unfortunately.

Over my dead body.

They'll just bring you back to life with a Kamehameha.

Kamehamehas don't work that way!

No Evolution! No no no no no no no!

I will kill as people as possible to prevent it from finding it's way into my story.

Being Gokuhan is suffering.

That's because he deserves to suffer.

His mere existence is a crime, and anyone who helps him is guilty by association.

Your hatred only inspires amusement in me.

Thing is, he has very little of either Goku or Gohan. In fact, he's just a teen movie protagonist. Very little in common to the nonstandard teen drama protagonist that was Gohan ('cuz, you know, Gohan wasn't a moron controlled solely by his hormones like your average teen drama protagonist).

He's not a Composite Character.

He's basically an OC.

Pretty sure power armor is a thing in Dragon Ball.

Not really.

Frieza soldiers wear armour, but it's just like flak jacket type stuff.

No powered endoskeletons here son.

You might be confusing them with Mini-Mecha.

"Tales of the Monkey Queen" Chapter 35 on AO3. In which we see Goku throw down and get thrown down.

Also more stuff from Piccolo's perspective and stuff with Roshi.
