Gohan's Adventure in Other-Dimensional-Tokyo!

Author's note: Hello readers. Welcome to the story. This is a DBZ/SM crossover in which a teenaged Gohan travels to Sailor Moon's Tokyo to help with a problem that has been predicted by Pluto. Of course, the foreseen dilemma is no biggie to our omnipotent hero, but what of these other "perks" he must endure from a certain plotting deity, his study-crazed mother, and drooling teenaged girls? There may be a bit of romance later, but for now it will be my secret as to who the lucky girl will be! This is obviously a major AU, and the characters may be pretty OOC at times because I want them to slightly parallel other characters. Ages may be altered slightly too. This is largely due to the fact that I want this fic to sort of follow the Saiyaman Saga, only in the SM Universe, and that I have neither watched, nor read any anime or manga, respectively, in quite a few years and my memory may betray me.

Disclaimer: Let's make this short and sweet: I don't own anything.

Chapter 1: A Disturbing Premonition

It was a breezy, but warm day in early autumn. Leaves were just beginning to take on yellow and orange hues and wispy clouds were lacing deep blue skies. A sparkling, morning sunshine shone peacefully down on Tokyo's Juuban District, only to be interrupted by the quick patter of running feet and loud panting.

"I'm sorry Luna! I guess (pant) it's just (pant) a habit I'll never (pant) break!" Serena Tsukino shouted at the small purple cat that was running alongside her and scowling. She couldn't remember a day that she hadn't been late since junior high school, and now, on the first day of school of her junior year in high school, nothing had changed.

"I'll change it yet! Tomorrow, you will be on time!" Luna hissed before bounding back towards Serena's house.

Serena sighed in defeat and continued sprinting to Juuban District High School.

Meanwhile, Lita Kino was seated in class waiting for Serena to appear and claim the seat next to her. She knew Serena would be late, so she had piled her belongings all over the desk and chair so that no other students would make themselves comfortable there. She pulled a small bento box close to her and began munching on a bit of rice while waiting for the bell to ring.

In a classroom down the hall from Lita, the other members of their close-knit group of friends were choosing their seating. Raye Hino, Amy Mizuno, and Mina Aino occupied a row with an empty seat on the end next to Mina. Either Molly or Melvin would have taken the seat, as they were both good friends with the girls, although they were unaware of their Sailor Scout identities, but since they had become a couple over the past few years, they opted for two of the seats in the row ahead so that they could be next to each other.

Far away, at the Gates of Time, Sailor Pluto mentally watched over the girls and a sincere smile graced her lips.

It's so wonderful to see them so happy and content with their normal lives. These years of peace have been fortunate indeed. I certainly hope they continue for many years to come...

Little did she know how short-lived that thought would be.

She suddenly felt an odd itch at the back of her head. She reached her gloved hand under her deep green locks of hair and proceeded to scratch. Curiously though, the itch remained, despite the mad frenzy of head-scratching that ensued once it did not disappear immediately. Then, the realization hit her. The itch wasn't coming from her scalp, but from inside her head! She squeezed her eyes shut and wrinkled her nose, trying in vain to mentally itch her brain. Then she saw it. In a bright flash, she envisioned several strangely-colored, yet well-muscled beings, all wearing triumphant evil grins. As quickly as the vision came, it was gone. But then she heard a cold voice.

Mission accomplished, Master. I've found a way out of HFIL.

This statement was followed by the chuckling of another, more sinister voice.

The premonition ended abruptly and Pluto gasped in fear: there was a new evil in her dimension. She quickly closed her eyes once more and stretched her senses out in an attempt to discover any information about the new enemy. Her eyes shot wide open as she felt the energy of the mystery force. It was definitely evil, but what surprised her most was that it was not magical energy like all the previous enemies had possessed, but pure physical energy and strength.

The scouts may be able to inflict a tiny bit of damage, but there's no way possible they'll be able to BEAT these guys! I need to go for help immediately!

With only that thought in mind, she frantically sought out an alternate dimension in which physical energy was used on a frequent basis and transported herself there.

On the Lookout of the Earth in another dimension, a certain deity by the name of Dende was sipping on a lemonade and watching over the happenings on the land miles below while his genie assistant, Mr. Popo, hummed softly while trimming the palace hedges.

Dende flashed a glance of annoyance in the direction of the genie and was about to tell him to be quiet when an unexpected portal opened in front of him and a tall woman with shining dark green hair emerged nervously. She threw odd glances at Dende and Mr. Popo as they gaped at her sudden arrival, then she spoke:

"Yes, this is the right place. I need your help."

Dende was the first to recover from the shock and his expression became one of suspicion. "Help with what?" he asked cautiously, then added, "And who are you?"

"My name is Sailor Pluto," she replied in a serious tone. "I am the Guardian of Time in an alternate dimension, which is grave danger. Something has found a way out of HFIL and will be escaping onto my dimension's Earth."

With this statement, Popo and Dende collectively gasped.

Pluto continued. "Normally, the defenders of my Earth would be able to handle a mess such as this, but their powers are magical, whereas the power I sensed from the enemy is purely physical. That is why I have traveled to this dimension to seek your aid." She finished with a nod of her head and pleading look in her eyes.

Dende nodded back. He could tell she was trustworthy. "You've certainly come to the right place..." He gave her a reassuring smile. "The best course of action would probably be to send a warrior back to your dimension with you to aid your defenders in the fight against this mysterious evil. Do you have any specific requirements that one of our fighters would need to meet?"

Relief flooded across Pluto's features as she thanked Dende for his generous offer. "Yes, actually, there is one requirement. The fighter must be compatible with teenage girls, as most of my Earth's defender's are such."

This earned her an odd look from Dende. "…Alright…"

He then began talking to himself, apparently naming and assessing warriors as he counted them off on his fingers.

"Tienor Chaotzu? Nah. Maybe Yamcha? Hmm, no. He'd just hit on them. Piccolo? Definitely not. Vegeta? Heavens NO!"

Suddenly an unbecoming smirk spread across Dende's lips. Pluto momentarily thought that he looked remarkably evil, but decided that her eyes were deceiving her and it was just a trick of the light. The kind little god who was so willing to help couldn't possibly be having malicious thoughts. Then Dende gave a slight cackle and said, "Gohan. Yes, Gohan will be perfect."

Author's Note: Yes, I realize that the Scouts attend different schools, but this is an Alternate Universe, remember? And yes, I also realize that I'm probably stretching Pluto's powers, and that Nameks only need water to survive. Just use your imaginations, people, and if you don't like it, you don't have to read it.
