Son Goza POV - Earth, Geia, Unnamed Woods - 2010

  Shortly after realizing that I'm very likely in The Walking Dead Universe, I hold back my shod focus ba the womanly figure who is standing still a few meters from me armed with a katana and who has two ed zombie pets behind her.

  I calmly greet her while making sure that I have my tail ed around my waist making it look like a somewhat unusual belt, "Good m."

  The womanly figure looks at me in silence for a few seds before she asks in a quiet but calm voice, "You know? You should be much warier of the people you enter, even more so when they are armed and you don't know them. I could easily kill you and rob you of your meal..." before she adds in a much quieter and sad tone, "I have seen people do worse for much less..."

  Hearing that, I smile slightly and reply, "Well, first of all, my instincts tell me that you are a good person and that you mean no harm to me, and I learo trust my guts quite a bit. In addition, even if for some reason my guts are wrong, I'm still fident that I will be able to defend myself in case of danger."

  After saying that, I ged the subjed invited her, "Anyway, my meal is almost ready, would you like to join me?"

  In response, I notice the woman warily look at the half-cooked meat on the frying pan before the hand that holds her katana tenses up and she asks, "What kind of meat is that?"

  Quickly uanding the reason behind her wariness, I pick up the coyote fur pelt and showing it to her I say, "Don't worry, it's eat... it isn't the most delicious one of the animals that be found in this forest, but it is the only one I was able to find."

  After saying that, I put down the coyote fur pelt a out a sigh before I ent, "Aahhh... I would have preferred some rabbit, deer, or bear they taste much better... in fact, even a snake would have been a better choice, but beggars 't be chosers..."

  In respoo that, the womao rex a little before she chuckles and ents, "Heh... Bears? Really? I uand rabbits, deers, and hell, even snakes, but bears?"

  Hearing that, I calmly expin as I turn on the electric cooking devid resume cooking the meat, "It isn't that stra tastes a lot like beef, but with a more robust fvor and a hint of sweetness." while thinking, 'And that isn't evera meat I have ever eaten, when you live in a version of Earth where Dinosaurs are still alive. Even more so when at the age of 4 you get trained by a green-skinned alien with slug-like characteristics that forces you to survive on your own in a desote wastend for some months to build your character and you are a member of another alien race that eat almost anything that is sidered meat... Still, I have to admit that Tyrannosaurus' tail is my favorite kind of meat. Not only is very nutritious but also very tasty too.'

  While I'm thinking that, the woman calmly sheathes her katana and theies her zombie pets to a nearby tree before she sits on the ground in front of me and says, "Well, I'm the kind of person that trusts her own guts too... and they tell me that you mean no harm."

  Shortly after she says that the ulls down her hood finally showing her face, and as expected, she is a dark-skinned woman in her mid-30s with long flowing brown dreadlocks and dark brown eyes who looks at me and says, "My name is Mie. o meet you."

  Spoiler

  [colpse]Indeed, she is the Mie, a survivor of the outbreak iV show The Walking Dead, in fact, she was one of the main protagonists of that TV show who gained greater and greater importahe more the show tinued and whose story I know quite well, as I did enjoy watg the TV series in my free time.

  Following the loss of her boyfriend and son, Mie withdrew into solitude, perfeg her swordsmanship, and being a dark and ruthless warrior.

  After the Greene family farm was overrun by zombies, Mie entered Andrea and began to open up as the two developed a close friendship while surviving the wiogether aually, they entered the Governor and were brought to Woodbury.

  Andrea decided to remain at Woodbury while Mie, sensing that the Governor couldn't be trusted, left and soon entered Rick Grimes and his group.

  Though initially distrustful of each other, Mie assimited into the group after bonding with Rick's children, Carl and Judith, she then became a ember of the group, as well as Rick's right-hand woman aually, wife.

  Rick's group ter found the Alexandria Safe Zone, with Rid Mie ter being the leaders where they endured many adversities and tragedies including Carl's death, and built a Coalition with other unities in the area.

  Six years after Rick's assumed death, Mie tio raise Judith, as well as her and Rick's son R.J..

  After making a deal with Virgil to help him get back to his family on a naval base, Mie went on a mission t the Coalition mueeded ons for the battle against the Whisperers.

  Although the ons were a false lead, Mie discovered evidence of Rick still being alive and after being vinced by Judith, Mie embarked on a journey north to find Rick at least that is all I know about her as she never appeared again, at least not while I was watg the TV show in my previous life.

  While going over what I know about her in my mind, I also introduce myself back, "o meet you too. I'm Son Goza..." but before I tinue, Mie interrupts me by calmly asking, "Oh my... Are you kidding me? Aren't you taking your role-py a little too far?"

  In respoo that question, I simply tilt my head in fusion not uanding what she means by that but soon Mie, who likely noticed the fusion written all over my face, tinues, "It is clear that you are cospying as a character from that popur anime called Dragon Ball... I mean, it is pretty obvious with that bright e gi and all the rest of your attire, even the spiky bck hair is spot on. I don't know if this is your way of g with everything that happened but I don't think it is that healthy to live in an illusion to the point of naming yourself after the main character who as I remember is named Son something too..."

  At this point, I finally realized that Dragon Ball anime also exists in this universe and naturally it is also very, very popur so much so that even someone like Mie knows of it, and because of that, she misuood me as someone cospying as my father who became delusional or something along those lines in respoo having experienced some great trauma during the end of this world.

  Realizing that, I quickly wave my hand and try to expin, "No! No! No! You have misuood me! Sure I have no problem admitting that my current attire is inspired by the main character on Ball whose name is Son Goku by the way. But the main reason I wear it is that is only because it is pretty fortable and durable, moreover, it allows quite a wide range of movements which I find quite essential as I'm actually trained in martial art and do want to feel my range of movement as free as possible. Besides all that, my name is really Son Goza!"

  While I'm saying that I 't help but think, 'Luckily everything I just said is mostly true as I'm a terrible liar, something that I ied from Father who is also terrible a telling a lie... uhe said lie may have something to do with fighting, because while I admit that Father may be socially dumb, he is anything but that when it es to fighting, something that I experienced many times in my life, after all, no matter what advantages I had until now even with a clearly superior Ki, I was never able to truly defeat him... He aa truly are a pair of monsters.'

  Shortly after thinking that, I tio calmly chat with Mie while cooking the coyote's meat but at the same time, I 't stop myself from remembering all the times I thought I had finally surpassed my father aa only for the two of them to sprint ahead of me shortly after time and time again, it was truly a humbling experience.

  (AN: This part is quite long but bear with it as I to establish a proper Dragon Ball history altered by the OC's presence as it will be the stop after pleting The Walking Dead arc.)

  At first, when I was just reborn, I thought that with the cheats grao me by being the Legendary Super Saiyan son of Goku and twin brother of the character with the most potential Gohan, I would have easily rushed forward ih of absolute power leaving my father, brother, and every other character that I loved in the dust.

  In addition to that, I also had the advantage of my own foreknowledge of all the most importas thanks to the ahat would have surely helped me in grasping as much advantage as possible.

  But despite all that, reality quickly curb-stomped my dreams into pieces, first of all, even if I had a monstrous amount of Ki which easily surpassed everyone else on the p, my trol over it was truly abysmal and because of that I risked exploding shortly after my birth which could have easily destroyed the Earth since I'm pretty sure that my power level was already over 9000, it is only thanks to Kami using his magic to seal most of my Ki into my tail which for some reason is able to easily tain such power, that nothing bad happened.

  The seal itself isn't that plicated, it simply gathered 99% of my Ki in my tail so that it doesn't rampage in my body and I could always take it bad use it once I actually gaier trol over my Ki.

  After that close call, the only thing I could do for the first few years of my life was live like a baby while fog as much as possible on mastering trol over my Ki so that I could safely take trol over my sealed Ki, unfortunately without much success on my part.

  That is because trolling one's Ki is something already very difficult if one doesn't have the necessary training and while my Saiyaage would usually help me in havier trol than a regur Earthling, the berserking quality that my Ki naturally has because of my Legendary Super Saiyan mutation makes everything much more difficult to the point that the difficulty level ges from normal to hell.

  Just like that, four years passed in pead the time for Uncle Raditz to make his appearance came, and unfortunately, I was nowhere ready to face him and what had to e and because of that, my presence ged o nothing.

  I and my brohan got kidnapped by Raditz and Dad and Piccolo-san had to face him while I could only watch powerless as I didn't dare to force my Ki to break the seal fearing that the reading of my Power Level from Raditz's bugged scouter would alert the shorty evil emperor making him pay a visit to our p before we are actually ready to face him.

  In the end, everything followed the with Gohan snapping and headbutting Raditz creating an opening for Dad to hold him still and for Piccolo-san to finish them off with his Makakosa- Makinkos- Mak- oh hell his dubbed Special Beam on.

  After that, Piccolo-san learned of the eventual arrival of Nappa aa who are way more powerful than the dead Raditz, so he decided to re-kidnap us to train us to face the uping crisis.

  Like any good teacher, Piccolo-san decided that the best way to train us was by using the tried aed method of making us learn how to survive on our own as kids in a desote wastend full of dangerous creatures armed with only a Gi simir to that of Father and a sword he materialized through magic, of course, he also made sure to keep me and Gohan separated.

  The survival training was hard at first, but if there is something in which the Saiyan race is really blessed is that they thrive in situations where they have to fight for survival, and I have to admit that I made much more progress in the few months that Piccolo-sa me stranded on that desote wastend that in all my previous years of training.

  Ahing I did during the whole survival training was make sure to never look at the moon as I didn't want to rampage in my Oozaru Form aroy my p and more importantly I didn't want to give Piccolo-san a reason to cut my precious tail off.

  I finally started to slowly gain trol over my very wild Ki and when I was able to fully trol 10% of my full Ki, Pie t me bad start the true training where he taught us how to sense Ki, fly, fight, unch Ki Bsts and more importantly, to DOOOODGE.

  Basically, he taught us all the basics with ruthless efficy as he is quite the tough trainer, but thanks to that, we improved at a very fast pace to the point where I was able to unleash and trol 25% of my full Ki, makiually slightly more powerful than Piccolo-san.

  Not that I WAS actually strohan Piccolo-san as even if my Ki was slightly more powerful than his, Piccolo still trashed me in pure teique, experience, and physical power as my 5-year-old body and few months of actual training simply couldn't pare with Piore mature one and years of bat experienbsp;

  Sooime for the Saiyan's arrival came and there I made my very first ge to the "known" , the ge I'm most ashamed of, I was able to save Yamcha from taking his very iic pose...

  For about 10 more seds, the idiot decided that it was a wise idea to taua and as a result, he ended up striking his most iic pose for everyoo witness.

  Thetle with Nappa started and during that, the sed ge caused by my presence happened, Gohan didn't chi out as much as was able to work together with Piccolo-san, me, and the others who were also still alive.

  With our bined effort we were able to knock him out, but that pissed off Vegeta even more who didn't hesitate to start his assault, easily obliterating Tien Shihan and Chiaotzu before he focused on us.

  But then Piccolo-san protected us with his body and died shortly after admitting that he eraining with us.

  At that point, Piccolo-san's death made both my brother and I snap to the point that in my fury I unleashed 50% full power while Gohan's power massively increased takia by surprise which made us nd a few good hits that actually hurt him while also destroying his scouter.

  But again our young bodies and ck of experience pyed against us, as Gohan quickly became tired after that explosion of power while I was forced to foy Ki trol as I felt that in the middle of the battle was quickly increasing in power and because of that my trol over it was quickly slipping, something that Vegeta quickly took advantage of to beat us up leaving us within an inch of life even with Krillin-san's support.

  Luckily before he could finish his job, Father arrived and saved us but then he was undecided on what to do as there wasn't enough Senzu Beans for us all even if we split them, at that point, I quickly said to give it to Gohan and Krillin as they were in a worse state.

  Of course, the real reason, I didn't want the Senzu Bean is because I didn't want to activate my Zenkai Boost yet as I was still trying t under trol the Ki I have unleashed until now, even more so because thanks to the ferocious battles with Nappa aa, I was able to raise my overall trol to the 50% which was great news.

  Shortly after Father gave Krillin-san and Gohan their half Senzu Bean, the first historic battle between Father aa started which developed more or less like its o least until Vegeta pulled off his Power Ball teique as in the rush of the fight, I fot a little detail, Nappa was still alive, because of that, he also transformed into a Oozaru and rejoihe battle.

  Seeing Nappa aa about to gang up on Father, I took a gamble and also looked at the Power Ball and shortly after that, I only heard the loud sound of my heart beating before I bnked out.

  When I woke up, I was already in the hospital feeling my whole body sore and everything was already over, luckily I learned from my brother that my gamble paid off as even in my berserk state caused by the Oozaru Transformation, I fully focused on what I instinctively perceived a major threat, Vegeta and Nappa.

  Gohan told me that the battle was quite savage but that for a reason I kept getting strohe more I fought and slowly but surely I started to overwhelm both Nappa aa giving Father a ce to destroy the Power Ball whi turn made us all transform back to our humanoid form sometime ter as the residual effects of the Power Ball kept us transformed even sometime after its destru.

  Sihat was my first transformation, I passed out shortly after turning back, meanwhile, Nappa was way too wouo do anything aa resumed his fight with my father whi the end, cluded with my father's victory and then, just like the , Dad decided to spare both Vegeta and Nappa who thereated ahe p using their Space Pods.

  After the epic battle with the Saiyans, Krillin ented on the possibility of reviving everyoh another set on Balls on the p Namek, Piccolo's home p as he overheard the versatioweea and Nappa about the existence of the Namekian Dragon Balls.

  With that new information, Bulma quickly started the preparations for the journey but reached a stumbling point as we didn't have any spaceship to make the journey.

  It seemed as if all hope was lost until Popo-san appeared and said Kami had told him of a ship that might be able to take us to Namek.

  The ship that was used by Kami long ago to escape the cataclysm on Namek only he doesn't quite remember it happening.

  Learning of that, Popo-san and Bulma went and checked it out, and they realized that it was, indeed, capable of the trip aurned back to the hospital to tell us the good news.

  Krillin-san and Gohan were willing to go despite Chi-ot wanting my brother to go but in the end, we were able to vince her and shortly after, Bulma, Gohan, and Krilli off on a trip to Namek while I calmly remained in the hospital with Father to recover from the damage I received during the battle, knowing that I would be able to go after them with my father, even more so because I could take advantage of the gravity training.

  Indeed after some time, Yajirobe-san visited Father in the hospital and gave us a Senzu Bean, instantly healing both of us a our strength.

  Father and I theo Capsule Corporation to find that as expected Dr. Brief had built a special ship from parts of Father's Saiyan Space Pod and that he had also built the anti-gravity mae at Father's request.

  Seeing that everything was ready we then took off for o set things straight as King Kai informed us that my brother and our friends were in danger and we hoped to arrive at Namek in six days.

  During that period of time, I learhat training with my father is even more brutal than training with Piccolo-san.

  Sure, Piccolo-san is a very harsh teacher but Father is simply brutal, not only on his "students" but even more so on himself, I mean who the heck thinks that getting "Kamehamehamed" during high gravity training is a good idea for training?

  But despite my initial opinion, I had to admit that father training was indeed effective as not only did I gain enough trol to release the seal over my Ki without w about damaging myself, but my body also became strong enough to withstand the strain of my full-powered Ki.

  Moreover, the stant sparring also helped me gain more and more experience, during the whole training period with my father I could basically feel that we were getting stronger each passing hour.

  When we finally arrived o Namek, we didn't waste any time and quickly rushed tohan's position as we felt his Ki getting weaker and weaker and ohere, we saw Ree's figure t over the downed figures of Vegeta, Nappa, Gohan, Krillin.

  At that point, Father gave me the small sack of Senzu Beans and told me to give them to everyone while he quickly walked toward Ree.

  I didn't waste any time and gave Gohan, Krillin, Nappa, aa the remaining Senzu Beans much to the shoy brother and Krillin as I helped our onemy Nappa aa.

  But before I could expin, Father effortlessly defeats Ree in one blow to the midseaking Gohan, Krillin, Nappa, aa all marvel at Father's extreme power.

  After that, Father and I fought against Burter and Jeid easily beat them, knog Burter out but just as I was about to knock out Jeice too, Father stopped me and told Jeice to leave the p

  In response, Jeice decided to take the offer and leave the battlefield, leaving his rades behind.

  At that point, Vegeta and Nappa didn't hesitate to kill Burter by crushing his ned kill Ree by bsting him to bits before Vegeta told Father that he was too soft as usual.

  Shortly after that, we started to discuss our moves aa was ed that Frieza had made his wish but we reassured him that he hadn't do yet by expining how the Dragon Ball usually works.

  Then we all sehat Frieza's Ki roag Grand Elder Guru's pce, which firms our suspis that they do need a password to summon the Namekian Dragon.

  While we were talking about that, Captain Ginyu and Jeice arrived and Father told me, Gohan, and Krillin to leave, get the Dragon Radar from Bulma, then find the Dragon Balls while he fights with Ginyu and Jeice with Vegeta and Nappa's help.

  While I was flying away with my brother and Krillin, I sehat the battle against the Ginyu Force was about to start, however, Nappa aa fleed the se, leaving Father to fend for himself.

  Of course, at that point, I could have easily turned bad helped Father but I decided to allow the events to tinue like that for the simple reason that we surely he Zenkai Boost that Father would gain after the hateful series of events that would follow soon after because I still had no fiden fag someone as terrible and feared as Frieza, not in my 5-year-old body which could barely ehe strain of my full power let alohe strain of a possible Legendary Super Saiyan transformation that I'll surely o deal with Frieza at that time.

  Odyin
