Chapter 1
The sky darkens as the clouds move in front of the sun, turning day into night. A cold wind sweeps across the Desert landscape. The Dragonballs; now gathered glow ominously. They are ready to release the almighty Shenron. Standing near the Dragonballs is a relatively short, but familiar figure. Emperor Pilaf stands proudly, practically glowing himself due to the fact that his lifelong dream of ruling the earth is finally coming to fruition. His two cronies, Mai and Shu, somewhat cower behind the emperor despite being nearly double his height. The emperor steps forward, he could hardly contain his excitement. He stretched out his arms towards the balls; he was finally going to get his wish. Goku and his friends were nowhere in sight, which means there would be nobody to stop him.
“Rise almighty Shenron! Come forth and grant me my wish!” Pilaf exclaimed in the most impressive voice he could muster.
The balls glow brighter as the pint sized emperor can’t help but let out a delighted chuckle. The magical balls respond to Pilaf’s request, beams of light shoot in all directions. A beam, much larger than the rest, shoots skywards from the center. It coils and acts much like a serpent in the sky. In nearly an instant, the light materialized into the mighty dragon Shenron. His glowing red eyes narrow; he is truly a terrifying sight to behold.
“I am the eternal dragon. Speak your wish and it shall be granted.” The mighty serpent called out in its booming voice.
This was too perfect. Pilaf let out a satisfied laugh. Soon, he would be ruler of the planet Earth.
This was not good. The sky had darkened, it might be too late. Goku, Krillin and Yamcha sprint across the desert as fast as their feet can carry them, with Bulma desperately trying to keep up with the trio. They have been tracking Pilaf and his cronies for a few months now, but they were not able to stop him from collecting the Dragonballs. They were close to tracking him down, but ever since the Dragon radar started to malfunction, Pilaf was able to stay one step ahead of them.
“Will you three wait for me?!” The hotheaded Bulma shouted, nearly stumbling over her own feet.
“There’s no time! If we don’t hurry, Pilaf is going to make his wish” Yamcha shouts back at her.
Over the horizon, a bright light could be seen. Pilaf could be making his wish at this very moment for all they knew.
“We’re not going to make it! We’re too far away!” Krillin says, despair in his voice.
The young man was right. They were still too far away, and it was clear that Shenron was already called upon. They had to think of something, and they had to think of something fast. Goku looked to the sky, still running as fast as he was able.
“Nimbus!” Goku called out for his magical cloud at the top of his lungs. It was a long shot, but if anything was going to get him there in time to stop Pilaf, it was his Nimbus cloud.
A few moments pass before a yellow cloud is seen overhead, approaching the group at breakneck speeds. Without even a seconds thought, Goku leaped onto the flying Nimbus and shot forward like a dart. He easily left his companions in the dust, as the bright light in the distance got closer and closer. The cold wind pounds against Goku’s body as the Nimbus flies forward as fast as it possibly can.
“I am growing impatient. Make your wish, or release me.” Shenron demanded.
The powerful dragons demand snapped the emperor back to reality. No more delays, it was time that his wish became a reality. Pilaf steps forward.
“Y…Yes, right. My wish…” He stutters, trying not to sound afraid.
“I wish….”
Pilaf was interrupted by the screeching of the Nimbus cloud coming to a halt. Both Mai and Shu nearly jumped out of their skin. There he was; the boy who foiled all of his previous attempts at glory. Goku stood atop the cloud, power pole unsheathed.
“Stop! Step away from the Dragonballs!” Goku demanded, in a surprisingly violent tone.
Mai and Shu opened fire on the boy with their automatic machine guns. Goku spun his magical staff around at blinding speeds, deflecting the all of the ammunition being thrown at him. Baffled, the two henchmen cease fire.
“Power pole extend!” The young martial artist commanded.
His staff extended several feet, as Goku swipes at the guns with impressive strength and speed. The firearms instantly shatter upon contact. Pilaf and his henchmen look terrified as they fear they will soon receive a similar treatment. Emperor Pilaf is gripped with fear; stumbling backwards, almost tripping over the Dragonballs. Wait, the Dragonballs! It dawned on Pilaf that Shenron was still waiting to grant his wish. All he would have to do is ask and he would rid him of that troublesome kid forever. Sure he wouldn’t be ruler of the world right now, but this kid would be out of the picture if he ever wanted to gather the Dragonballs again. Pilaf’s face turned from frightened to serious. He couldn’t help but let a satisfied chuckle escape his lips.
“This is your last chance. Make your wish or I shall return to my slumber.” Shenron commanded, sounding even more impatient than before.
“Shenron, I want you to send this little nuisance far away! So far away, that he’ll never interfere with my plans ever again!” Pilaf declared proudly.
“What?!” Goku was taken aback by the emperor’s unexpected wish. He nearly fell off of his Nimbus cloud.
“What?!” Both Mai and Shu shouted in unison, equally as surprised as Goku.
Pilaf laughed maniacally as the realization set in; he would soon be rid of his tormentor forever.
“As you wish, so it shall be.” Shenron roared as his bright red eyes narrowed.
Over the horizon, Yamcha, Krillin and Bulma can be seen bolting towards them. Shenron opens his mighty jaws, and then; a blinding light. Everyone attempts to shield their eyes from the intense light. A beam of pure energy could be seen stretching from the maw of Shenron, down to the helpless Goku. He was lifted from his Nimbus cloud, trying desperately to escape. All of his efforts were in vain.
“Goku! No!” Yamcha shouted in protest.
Krillin ran forward, his eyes swelling with tears in fear of what was going to happen to his friend.
“Goku!” Krillin cried out.
But it was too late. In one more brilliant flash of light, Goku was gone. The mighty dragon dispersed into nothing more than energy. The seven magical balls shot into the air, and scattered around the corners of the Earth once more…
Goku awakens on his back, memory hazed on what he just experienced. His vision was blurry, and he could barely move. He let out an unsatisfied groan as the fog in his vision began to clear. Goku lifted his head, only to see that he was in the middle of a forest of some kind.
‘wh..wha? Trees? I was in the desert a second ago…’ Goku thought to himself.
Goku struggled to get to his feet. It felt like his core was on fire. He stumbled around aimlessly for a bit, trying his best to keep his balance.
“Where am I?” Goku said in a weakened tone.
He searched around, only to see trees all around him. His power pole laid there in the grass next to where he was passed out. The disoriented child stumbled over to it as best he could. He picked up his staff and planted it into the moist ground in front of him. He had to figure out where he was at least.
“Power pole extend!” Goku shouted.
He grasped the power pole as it extended towards the treetops. Once over the treeline, Goku balanced atop his magical staff as he observed his environment. It would appear the forest stretched on for quite a way; the seemingly never ending trees only interrupted by a solitary lake. Goku closed his eyes, partly out of exhaustion and partly to collect his own thoughts. As he let his thoughts catch up with him, he remembered Shenron and Pilaf. He was wished far away. Goku realized he needed to find his way back to his friends. He stood up on his power pole and looked towards the sky.
“Nimbus!” he shouted. He figured that he would get out of here faster on his cloud than by walking.
Something was odd. The Flying Nimbus was not showing up. The confused Goku scratched his head, wondering what could be wrong.
“Flying Nimbus!” He shouted again, hoping his cloud would appear the second time around. His efforts were in vain.
“Huh… Maybe the Nimbus is lost like me.” Goku said aloud, clearly still innocent to exactly how far away he has been sent.
His power pole detracted back to its normal size as Goku leapt back to the ground below. He pried it from the ground and placed it into its sheath on his back.
“Well, I guess I have to walk then.” Goku declared as he began to stroll forward.
Before he could even make it out of the clearing he woke up in, his stomach rumbled fiercely. He was quite hungry, who knows just how long he had been lying there anyways? It was clear that he wasn’t going anywhere far without getting a bite to eat first. Goku smiled as he looked up to the trees. Some fruit would be nice. He jumped up to the nearest tree, landing cleanly on a sturdy branch. He searched tree top to bottom.
“Darn, nothing but acorns!” Goku groaned. Last time he was forced into eating acorns, it was not a pleasant dining experience.
He hopped over to the next tree and searched again, only to come up empty. He swung by his tail tree to tree, looking for anything tasty. He hung upside down by his tail, now looking quite frustrated. That’s when he got an idea.
“I know! That lake I saw will probably have fish in it! I’ll go tail fishing!” He proudly said to himself.
A nice big, tasty fish would be the greatest. Goku was watering from the mouth just thinking about his potential feast. In a single bound, Goku flipped from the tree, easily landing on his feet. He burst into an all-out sprint in the general direction of the lake, barely able to contain his own enthusiasm. A few mere moments later, a gleaming bed of water sat in the clearing in front of him. Goku undressed himself and tossed his tattered orange and blue outfit to the side, along with his power pole. He approached the water, turned around and dipped his tail into the lake. A wide grin trickled across his face as he wiggled his tail, trying to make it seem like a worm. A few moments passed with not so much as a nibble, but Goku remained positive. Then, something unexpected happened. Goku could hear something in the distance, almost like someone was humming a delightful tune whilst on an afternoon stroll.
‘Who could that be’ Goku thought silently to himself.
From the forest emerged a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane. It would seem that it was the source on the delightful tune. It looked as if it was enjoying a lonesome walk through the woods. It didn’t notice Goku at first, but he was kind of hard to miss. Its eyes widen as it takes a step back; it obviously wasn’t expecting to see a naked boy fishing alone in the woods. Its initial look of surprise then turned into a smile as her eyes practically glowed in joy. It approached Goku at a medium pace.
“Awwwww, well aren’t you a cute little monkey.” It said in a soothing voice.
Her grin only grew as she got closer to Goku.
“I’ve never seen a hairless monkey before. What are you doing all the way out here by yourself little guy?” It asked in a sweet, caring voice.
Goku just grinned at the nice visitor. He put his finger against his lips as if to tell it to be quiet.
“Shhhhhh! Quiet down, you’re going to scare them all away.” Goku said in a lowered voice.
The Pegasus’ content look instantly turned into one of fear. It scrambled back as quickly as it could; almost tripping over itself as it did so.
“Y..Y…You can talk?!” She shouted in disbelief.
Goku just gave her a confused look. He was a little bit disgruntled due to the fact that she probably scared away the fish.
“Of course I can talk, why wouldn’t I?” He asked, genuinely curious why she was reacting this way.
The Pegasus couldn’t take her eyes off the boy, as if it would attack her if she tried to run. She eventually began to calm down, though she still kept her guard up.
“Oh… I’m sorry. I... I’m just not used to monkeys being able to talk.” She said, now much quieter than she had been earlier.
Goku just grinned widely.
“Well where I’m from horses don’t usually talk either! So I think you’re kind of strange too.” Goku proclaimed in a happy tone.
The Pegasus was slightly shocked at what the boy just said. She took one step forward, genuinely baffled by the situation presented to her.
“Umm…. I’m a Pegasus…” She extended her left wing. “See?”
Goku just scratched his head.
“I’ve never seen one of those before… But you seem nice!” Goku said cheerfully.
“My names Goku, who are you?” He asked, rather innocently.
The Pegasus took a moment to respond. She was still taken off guard that Goku was talking at all.
“M…My name’s Fluttershy. It’s nice to meet you.” She said as a small grin found its way on her face. She began to lower her guard a bit; this monkey…. Goku… wasn’t like any other animal she’s ever seen before.
“What a weird name.” Goku said casually as he turned his head back to check on his tail. It sounded a little bit rude, even though Goku meant nothing by it.
Fluttershy dipped her head down in embarrassment at the comment, but she recovered quickly.
“So what are you doing out here all alone in the forest? Where’s your family?” She asked, concerned.
Goku did not avert his eyes from his tail.
“Family? I don’t have one of those. I used to live with my Grandpa, but he was trampled by a terrible beast.” Goku replied, mostly focused on his tail.
Fluttershy’s heart sank.
‘Poor little monkey! Out in the woods all alone with no family!’ she thought to herself, eyes almost swelling up with tears.
Before she could say anything, Goku jolted and let out a quiet yelp of pain. Fluttershy nearly jumped out of her own skin.
“What’s wrong?!” She asked.
Goku stood up, taking his tail from the water. Success! A nice sized fish was clamped down on his tail. Goku’s already large grin only grew larger as he yanked it off on his tail.
“I caught my dinner!” Goku flaunted proudly.
Fluttershy only gasped.
“Wha?! Oh no no no!” She mumbled as she took the fish from Goku using her teeth. She tossed it back into the lake.
Goku looked extremely annoyed at the yellow Pegasus’ actions.
“Hey! That was my fish!” He yelled, a little bit angry that he would not get to eat his much needed meal.
Fluttershy turned to Goku, clearly upset.
“You wouldn’t eat the poor fish would you? Come with me, I’ll make you dinner.” She insisted.
Goku’s frown instantly turned around at her offer. He would never turn down free dinner.
“Okay! Just let me grab my clothes.” Goku said cheerfully as he ran over to his pile of stuff.
Fluttershy just looked confused. She had never seen an animal who owned clothes before.
‘He certainly is strange. Still, the poor thing doesn’t even have a family! He is still an animal in need, so I have to take him in. It’s the right thing to do.’ Fluttershy thought to herself as they walked onward.
ogm dragenbal z & my litel poni is so orignal crosovre XDDD pls rite more!!!!!!!!!!!1
well, i thought that Dragonball was all about IT'S OVER 9000 and IT'S NOT EVEN MY FINAL FORM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NOW I LOOK LIKE A BLONDE PINEAPPLE, not some wishing stones, expandable poles, flying clouds and monkey boys.
or probably that was Dragonball Z.
i know nothing about original story, but it looks ok. i wonder why do i feel that Goku is totally "stupid, but muscular and cheerful" type?
1969997
Because Goku IS the stupid, muscular cheerful type :P
I'm using the original Dragonball manga, not Dragonball Z. This was back when it was a creative adventure series, rather than a pure action series.
1969976
Can't tell if serious, or sarcastic. I'm going to guess sarcastic.
Thanks for the read regardless.
not to bad a start dude
1970005
well, i think original Dragonball manga was more kid-friendly than Dragonball Z. also, ponies killed manga and anime for me >_>. mostly anime, manga is still... tolerable.
and tajjetone looks like a mix of fat troll who cannot into sarcasm and illiterate kid - denizen of internets.
Just a note: Fluttershy feeds fish to her animals. Yeah..
1970563
Haha, yeah I noticed. Personally, I always thought that was weird. She cares about pretty much any animal, so why are the poor fishies excluded?
1970753 Because fish are ugly and no one cares about fish. And even from a MLP point of view, fish are pretty much as (what we would consider) mindless as in the real world.
1970763
Hmmmm, I guess nobody likes the fish.
1970775 You know that thing I said about the fish in Equestria being just as mindless as in the real world?
Scratch that; either Fluttershy uses her charms to lure them to their fate or fish sacrifice themselves so that other animals may feed:

1970815
Oh dear lord
And I thought so highly of Fluttershy too...
1970821 It's fish (with cute smiles and all, sure), get a hold of yourself.
1970815
whoa i didn't remember this. so, sushi are confirmed as possible. now i need to check if fanon "pegasi eat fish" is true, too.
I really like where this is going and that you're using the original DB just as this one (even though that story is after the 'King Piccolo' saga)..... Please continue this.
1974341
Ah dang it. Now I feel unoriginal
Oh well, at least my story is going in a different direction his is.
And don't worry, I am continuing this.
1975710 But I think it would be more interesting to have the Goku before King Piccolo.
And are you gonna introduce the nimbus to the ponies?
Ah good job starting out and I kinda understand why you didn't use old goku cause he could've just teleported his way back home. I say keep it up I'll happily read this
1975947
I've been thinking about introducing the Nimbus cloud to the ponies. I have a few ideas.
1979767 Don't see many DB/MLP fics with the nimbus. To many of the fics are from the DBZ or so far into the DB timeline that the need of the nimbus is just obsolete.... Pity, really.
But you 'have to' make it so the rule for being able to touch the nimbus-cloud, count for the pegasi too.
I can't wait for the inevitable giant monkey rampage.
How will Luna react when she finds out her moon turns goku into a monster?
I can't remember does goku know about turning into a giant ape when he sees a full moon? I can't remember when he actually finds out about that.
And I'm off to read DB while I wait for an update.
Also, I really like the story so far. Goku isn't the OP like he is in DBZ. He is the fun and adventerous kid that gets into all kinds of trouble and wacky situations.
One final question.
Are you going to do one big story or are you going to go for a more episodic adventures?
2002504
Goku knows to stay indoors because his grandpa told him a terrible monster comes out at night. Goku has no idea that the monster is actually himself.
This will start out with episodic adventures, but it will turn into a bigger story. I'm glad you enjoy :3

Doesn't this tell us that Fluttershy is ok with fish getting eaten?
at first I thought that this was GT but meh it's still good
and Fluttershy took away Goku's dinner?! WHAT?!
Haha, you did a great job with this! A lot better than I did, for sure!
At what age did goku marry chichi?
2754630
Like 15, or 16 or something.... I know it was during the world martial arts tournament, when he first got tall.....
2849092 He married her at 18, he was 14-15 at first tournament with Roshi and the next one was 3 years after that so he was 18 when he married Chi Chi
3016440 No he was 12 at the first tournament he was 15 in the second tournament [Its the one he fought and lost to Tien]
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAH! how cute fluttershy taking care of goku
3016440
Yeah! Yeah, cause AFTER he beat DK Piccolo, he decided to train with Mr. Popo before the next tournament, to prepare for his battle with Piccolo Jr. And he DID say that he would be training for 3 years.
