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."
