Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten

'Please note: This story contains graphic fights, and deaths may be horrifying. Characters will swear, sometimes severely. Sexual content is present, but has been censored/removed.'

Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten is a fan fic/manga/(potential)anime created by KidVegeta.

The story itself begins in the 737 age, and is relatively simplistic in nature (the story will get more complicated as time goes on). Mostly, it centers around the adventures of a young Saiyan, named Ledas (pronounced lee-dahs) and Prince Vegeta as they try and gain respect from the tyrant Frieza. Many developmental aspects of Vegeta and Ledas’ fighting techniques will be shown. Also (hopefully!) the saga will give a firm foundation to Ledas’ motivations and values in later sagas.

After the destruction of planet Vegeta, Ledas crash lands on Planet Cooler. 92 and is thought dead. But, it is here where his story truly begins. Alone and broken, both physically, and mentally, Ledas must somehow find a way to get stronger… and defeat the minions of PC92. Even more dangerous, is the power struggle between the outpost’s captain and Cooler’s appointed governor, both of whom have unimaginable power. It is up to Ledas to stop their insanity before it consumes him, and the entire planet.

Bit of a side note, but I've always wanted to fit False King in here somewhere (it's one of my favorites), and the natural place is Lauto Saga, but that saga already has two themes. Might just end up being "teaser" trailer music or an overall montage theme for the entire series. I'm still undecided.

Canon
Great care was taken with this story to preserve Dragon Ball's canon. None has been broken, except for, maybe, GT's storyline. I do not view that as canon, so the timeline after Kid Buu's defeat may be different. There will be no Super Saiyan 4, or fanon (and incredibly underdeveloped and inconsistent) levels of 5, 6, 7 and beyond. For a detailed look at what I view as canon, please visit this page.

Characters
For a detailed list of notable characters in this story, please visit Character List (The Forgotten).

Power Levels
In the Dragon Ball Universe, one of the most inconsistent things is the rapid rises in power levels. I have tried to stop this. So, in The Forgotten, power levels will be within the limits of sanity. I've always had a problem with how every new villian is stronger than the Z fighters, no matter how much training they have done before. I will change this. Indeed, the main villian in the Lauto Saga is actually surpassed in power about halfway through the saga, because I think it's important to show that not all power is in physical strength. For a list of power levels throughout the entire series, please visit the list of power levels to see a detailed list of power levels of all characters, as they progress in The Forgotten.

Questions Answered
Being the vast, often times complicated universe that it is, questions will undoublty come up about The Forgotten.

Trivia

 * The Forgotten is plural for a reason. Most characters, Lauto Saga and on can relate.
 * Originally the fourth Saga didn't exist, but there ended up not being enough value for introducing so many characters for so little time.
 * Originally (spoiler alert!!) Banas was supposed to die in the concluding chapter of Saga 2.
 * The Kyokatshi saga is the first to not take place on a new planet.
 * Starting in the Lauto Saga, each saga has a chapter titled, in reference, to the song Europa/Electric Romeo.
 * This is due, in reference, to that song being the main theme of The Forgotten.
