Hey, everyone. I'm Sky-Kaiser. And this is my first big fanfiction.

So, I need to ask... who's a fan of Yamcha, the desert bandit?

To be honest, I see a lot of people who have a very negative opinion of him, despite his actions during the original Dragon Ball series, when he was cool. When Dragon Ball was about warriors fighting to protect their planet from planet-overtaking militaries and demon kings. In Z, he was among the first to be unable to catch up, along with Chiaotzu and Yajirobe. And unfortunately, Yamcha suffered a very embarrassing death. I hate Saibamen so much for what they made Yamcha look like. And I kinda hate Saiyans just as much for rendering the humans obsolete.

So, I'm gonna throw Yamcha a bone and give him a fanfiction dedicated to him becoming great again. And not just him, but the other humans as well! Krillin, Tien, Chiaotzu and Yajirobe will have the privilege of becoming the usefulness! And I might even go farther than that!

But there might be some things different from canon. Like an alternate pairing, or maybe a crack pairing later on. And there may be the inclusion of some filler here and there. If you have a problem with that, you don't have to read.

Anyways, let us begin. Remember to like and comment!

Prologue: The Story So Far...

Three years since things changed drastically for the heroes who protect Earth...

Three years ago, the heroes known as the Z Fighters discovered that their leader, Goku, was an alien. The man who told him this was his biological brother, Raditz, who said that Goku's real name was Kakarot, and that he was a member of a race of intergalactic warriors known as the Saiyans. Goku fought his brother along with the help of his arch-rival, Piccolo, to save Goku's son, Gohan, from Raditz. The conflict ended with Goku sacrificing himself so that Piccolo could fire the attack that would kill Raditz.

A year later, Raditz's superiors arrived on the planet. A brute of a man named Nappa, and his commander: Vegeta, the Prince of the Saiyan Race. With Goku dead, Piccolo abducted Gohan, wishing to train him in martial arts and make him a fighter. The other Z Fighters decided to train fervently for the coming Saiyans. When Vegeta and Nappa arrived, they were quite eager to dispose of them. Though the Z Fighters were able to defeat the Saibamen the Saiyans sicked on them, Nappa proceeded to lay waste to the human warriors. Chiaotzu died first. Then Yamcha. Then Tien. Even Piccolo was slain, resulting in the death of his other half, Kami, who had created the Dragon Balls. Thankfully, before the Dragon Balls lost their power, the non-combatant friends of the Z Fighters brought Goku back from the dead. In Other World, Goku had trained in the art of Kaio-ken, allowing him to access great power. He managed to save Gohan and Krillin, brutally beating Nappa within an inch of his life. Vegeta disposed of Nappa and engaged him in mortal combat. Goku, with help from Gohan and Krillin, defeated the Saiyan Prince, under the warning that if he came back, Goku would kill Vegeta himself.

With Earth's Dragon Balls gone, the Z Fighters had no way to revive Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo. However, Mr. Popo, the genie who served as Kami's assistant, pointed them to Planet Namek, where Piccolo's race, the Namekians, lived. They had a set of Dragon Balls they could use to bring people back from the dead. Krillin, Gohan and Bulma headed to Namek first while Goku recovered from the fight against Vegeta, only to discover the planet was occupied by Frieza, an intergalactic tyrant responsible for the genocide of the Saiyan race. Gohan and Krillin were forced to evade Frieza's top henchmen, while also trying to stay away from Vegeta, who had come to the planet looking for the Namekian Dragon Balls himself so he could become immortal - the same reason why Frieza was on Namek: to wish for immortality.

Gohan and Krillin eventually decided to form a shaky alliance with Vegeta when Frieza called on the flamboyant mercenaries known as the Ginyu Force. Despite their team-up, they were hardly able to fend against them until Goku arrived. After defeating the Ginyu Force, Frieza took matters into his own hands and fought with the Z Fighters. The following fight with Frieza resulted in the deaths of Vegeta and Krillin, the latter of which triggered a legendary transformation in Goku to become a powerful warrior known as the "Super Saiyan." With this new power, Goku defeated and destroyed Frieza, avenging billions across the universe. But Goku was rendered missing after an attack from Frieza caused Namek to collapse. Goku escaped into space, but his whereabouts afterward were unknown.

The present time is Age 764.

This is where our story begins.

Yeah... not much, yet. But this is the prologue. I promise you, great things are coming in this fic. I'd like to give credit to Childhood Enigma for helping me create this story. So thank you.

The first real update shall focus on Yamcha. So I hope to see you soon.

Sky-Kaiser out.
