Chapter 1

By: Scott Douglas Davidson

Warnings: Some swearing. Look for the rating to skyrocket in later chapter. ^_-

Disclaimer: I own the researchers. Alright, I didn't flesh their characters out much... But they're in my mind and they're mine! Everything else in this chapter though, belongs to someone else. I'm just playing with them for a while. Bardock makes a good toy. ^_^

The two zoologists grinned to themselves as they set the last two dragonballs down in the grass. The woman held her arms up in the air dramatically and called out.

"Arise mighty Shenlong, and grant our wish!"

The sky darkened and the Dragonballs glowed with a golden light. Lightning struck down and a pillar of light, golden and pulsing, shot into the sky, twisting and twining around itself, darkening and refining itself into a jade Dragon, longer than any river, taller than any skyscraper. It's head lowered down, nearer to them, and its eyes, glowing with an eerie, dull, red light, peered down.

"Why have you summoned me?" Shenlong intoned, "What is your wish?"

The woman held her hands out, beseeching the Dragon, "Please! We wish for all the extinct species on Earth to be brought back to life! "

Shenlong gazed down at the humans before him. "Your wish cannot be granted. You must choose another."

"WHAT?!" the woman was mildly upset. "What do you mean you can't grant my wish you overgrown lizard!?"

"Extinct species may not be granted life again."

"Um," the man spoke up for the first time, "how about you triple the number left of each endangered species on Earth?"

Shenlong's eyes flashed. A portal opened near the Dragonballs, out of which rare animals began to stride out, most looking up at the Dragon and bolting into the forest in fear.

"Your wish is granted, fare you well." Shenlong faded away, and the Dragonballs shot up into the air, and across the sky, disappearing in the distance. The two researchers looked over at the portal as the animals poured out.

"What the fuck is this?" a deep, masculine voice came from the portal.

"I don't know. Maybe we should check it out." a second voice suggested.

"Of course we should check it out! Baka!" a third said.

The researchers were quite stunned as four men, in spandex and strange armor, with brown fur belts, strode out of the portal, glancing around.

Two of them looked almost like twin brothers, except one had a dark tan, and the other an x-shaped scar on his cheek and a red bandana. They both had identical wild black hairdos, looking like they went through more hair gel than food. The third was huge, tall and bald, looking smugly down at the humans, his eyes showing the kind of amusement a young bully has before kicking a puppy. The last man was shorter than the bald one, but broader. His hair was long enough to brush the backs of his calves, yet still managed to spike out quite a bit.

"Well," commented the tanned one, "what have we here? "

The bald one smirked. "Looks like food to me." He took a few steps towards the researchers.

Just as both humans were getting about ready to wet their pants, the saber-toothed cats running past not helping, the man with the bandana interposed himself between the researchers and his companions.

"Knock it off." he said, "We'll need them to help us get accustomed to this world. Unless you all want to die from your own stupidity again."

The tanned man and the bald man grumbled to themselves, and the longhaired guy looked embarrassed.

"Er... Excuse me..." the woman began timidly. "Who are you, and why did you come out of the portal? We were only wishing endangered species back to life."

There was a four-way exchange of glances.

"Lady," the guy with the bandana said, shaking his head sadly, "I don't know what race you're mistaking us for, maybe your own, you look enough like us, but we're probably the most endangered species on this whole damned planet."

Neither human knew exactly what to say to this. Finally the man spoke up.

"What are you then? And who?"

The man with the bandana grinned. "My name is Bardock. And we're Saiyajin."
