DBZ 101

return to About DBZ

 

I was trying to wait until it was 100% complete but I decided I am far enough to at least share what I have.  This goes all the way thru the end of the Cell Saga.  The forward introduction is written in a first person perspective.

 

Once upon a time there was a world without dragonballs.  What a sad time it was.  But then one day... I found some.  My life was never the same afterwards.  I have put together the things in my life and the lives of others around me.  Sometimes it isn't in order because we didn't get it "in order".  Like when my son from the future came... it was sort of not clear to me. Anyhow, I put this together so future generations will always know the events of my life.  I know without the Saiyans my life would have been over long ago - but without me... theirs wouldn't have ever been the same either.  Just call me Ms "Bail the boys out".
