Dragon Ball 63 (Classic)

Summary:

Originally titled "Dragon Ball: Gender Bent" and published on August 28th, 2011, this was an attempt at writing a genderswapped retelling of the entire Dragon Ball story posted on Fanfiction.net. I just recently re-discovered this and decided to post this old work here.

Old Summary: "Also known as Dragon Ball GB, this is a retelling of the Dragon Ball universe, except every main chararcter is born of the different gender. So, it's basically "Universe 63", if going by DB Multiverse standards. Will or may go through DB to DBZ"

Chapter Text

Dragon Ball GB ("Gender Bent")

A fanfiction written by Christopher .J.

"Dragon Ball" created by Akira Toriyama

This is non-profit fan-based work. Dragon Ball and all characters are owned by Akira Toriyama, Toei Animation, Viz Media and FUNimation

In the deep reaches of space, a spiky, blacked haired woman, wearing a strange suit of armor and filled with blood, faces a strange creature that resembles a female, but with horns on top of it's head, has a tail and is setting in a floating space rider. The woman looks at the creature with the intent to kill.

"So, Lady Freeza", said the woman "It all comes down to this." The creature known as Lady Freeza looks at the woman with sheer boredom. She also begins to form a giant orb of energy. The woman continues speaking "Me, Planet Vegeta, my comrades…and my daughter! For all of them, I will destroy you!" The woman soon forms a ball of energy and prepares to throw it at Lady Freeza.

"THIS IS OUR PLANET…AND WE STILL LIVE HERE!" the woman screamed at the top of her lungs as she threw the ball right at the orb. However, the ball disintegrates as Lady Freeza throws the orb right into the woman and a platoon of alien soldiers. The woman screams as the orb engulfs her, as well as the planet Vegeta.

"Huh?" said the woman as she lays dying. She sees a vision of a woman resembling her, except wearing an orange gi with a blue undershirt and belt, facing against Lady Freeza. The woman begins to display a smile. "Kaka.." she thought "..you will be the one to defeat Freeza. You will avenge our race! KAKA!" As the woman dies, a space pod races towards the stars and onto an unknown destination…

Now, we are at a forest filled with luscious trees, beautiful flowers and loads of animals. An eldery woman wearing a yellow Chinese outfit and carrying a bucket is walking to the forest, whistling a happy tune. However, she stops once she hears a crash.

*CRASH!*

"Oh, my!" cried the old woman as she rushes to investigate the disturbance. She treads through bush to bush until she sees the wrecked space pod and a crying, spiky haired baby girl on the ground.

"A baby?" the woman began to question herself "Who on Earth would leave a baby out on the forest all alone?" The old woman picks up the crying baby and calms it down by tickling it. The baby begins to laughs, and the old woman laughs as well.

"Aren't you just adorable?" said the woman. Soon, she and the baby walk away from the crash site. "You know what, little one?" said the old woman. "When we get home, you can be my granddaughter. Yes, you can be my little Son Goku."

And thus, a new story begins as an old one ends….

Characters shown here:

Barda (Fem!Bardock)

Lady Freeza (Fem!Freeza, though not really a gender, but resembles a female, other than her "male" counterpart.)

Grandma Goha (Fem!Grandpa Gohan)

Notes:

Okay, for starters, some names have been changed since then.... For example, Fem!Grandpa Gohan, or "Grandma Goha" here would now be called "Grandma Goran" (and by extension her future great-grandkid, Fem!Gohan would be "Goran" too). I still need to think of a better name for fem!Bardock, as well as a better name for fem!Goku's Saiyan name (if I just don't leave it alone like I did Goku's Earth name) I'll happily take suggestions. Oh yeah, this fic's old name is a pun on "Dragon Ball GT", in case anyone needed to know that.

As for the prologue, I guess I was inspired by DBZ Kai when watching this and wanted to write out a genderswapped version of it's prologue (which was basically the climax of the old Bardock special). It's probably not very faithful to how events go in the OG manga (remember, Goku's alien origins are meant to be a surprise twist) and if I ever decide to try out the 63'd retelling again, I probably won't include it.

That said, I hope y'all enjoy this old fanfic; I'll be adding new chapters as soon as I can... or if I remember to XD.
