The Great Super Saiyan 5: Okay, first order of business: disclaimer.
Disclaimer: I don't own Xenosaga or anything Dragonball except 2 video games (one copy each), despite my wishes to the contrary. All materials in this fanfic belong to their respective owners, including my OC, Kaerlos, who is mine. And in case you haven't guessed, this is a DBZ/GT-Xenosaga crossover, so events WILL be changed. For example, I don't care if DB Earth was brought back in DBGT, 'cuz I'm saying it was!
Kaerlos: That's right! And TGSS5 chooses what fanfics I appear in and what incarnation of me appears. I'm in all his stories, written or not, and I've always got the same physical template. Oh, and he prefers me as a semi-insane Saiyan, so guess what I'll be like in this fic! That's right, crazy! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
TGSS5: Um... That's good for you, Kaerlos, but I like to say all you need is a good woman.
Kaerlos: Not Bra or Kakarot's brat's spawn, to borrow my brother's words!
TGSS5: Don't worry, they aren't even in this fic, or if they are they'll be brief cameos in a flashback. I'll try to think of an excuse for you, Vegeta, Goku, and a non-OC Saiyan I'll reveal the identity of in the chapter to go flying off from wherever the hell you guys end up after GT and coincidentally show up when Shion's getting throttled by a Gnosis. All Xenosaga events will be the same until then, by the way. The as yet unidentified Saiyan has been training for quite a while, so he's a lot better at fighting than he was during DBZ. Or at least the part he appeared in. Also, Goku and Vegeta'll be acting OOC in this chap. Goku'll yell at people, Vegeta'll be obviously frightened. I'll have the surprise guy square off with the Gnosis that attacks Shion, Goku and Vegeta fighting two each, and you'll be fighting 4 at a time and phasing like crazy. In fact, that's what Shion'll see you doing at first sight: phasing through the wall.
Kaerlos: Wow, sounds fun. Do these 'Gnosis' phase?
TGSS5: That's where you learn it from.
Kaerlos: Who are you pairing me with, anyway?
TGSS5: Not tellin'. It would spoil any suspense there may be. *to readers* By the way, Kaerlos is pretty much a deliberate Mary Sue character. He'll be an almighty mechanic-fighter who's a telekinetic telepath in this fic, and he'll eventually become a dogooder who's willing to kill. Kinda like Gohan in personality, only less predictable, if only because he's an OC. Oh, and he'll still like to fight.
Kaerlos: Is 'Mary Sue' a human term for 'near-godlike character'?
TGSS5: *Aside* Yup. *Back to readers* He's not quite Mary Sue at first 'cause, well, he's crazy. He... well, read the story to find out what kind of crazy.
Kaerlos starts juggling rocks telekinetically while levitating- where he got the rocks no one knows. TGSS5 stares at him like he's crazy, which he is.
TGSS5: And just why are you doing that?
Kaerlos: 'Cuz I feel like it.
TGSS5: *to self* Right. Shoulda seen that one coming. Especially since I made him.
Kaerlos accidentally hits himself in the head with a rock he just pulled out from parts unknown, and blasts said rock with an enormous amount of ki.
TGSS5: *coughing up smoke* Isn't that overkill?
-----------------------------------------------
We never know about Kaerlos's response to this because we pull out from the antics to actually get to the story.

Prologu e
The Journey
Space. An endless abyss of nothingness dotted with occasional clusters of stars, sometimes alone but usually with several planets orbiting them. Several planets in each star cluster have an environment capable of supporting life. Most of these have lifeforms of some description on them. But all the planets are currently irrelevant due to the fact that this story starts several hundred thousand miles away from any hospitable planets. The nearest planet was essentially a large rock, and had as much atmosphere as the void surrounding it, which is to say none whatsoever.
A large object approached the region. At first glance one would think it was a comet, but he would be wrong. The object was spherical with several jets protruding from what seemed to be the bottom. It had the words 'CAPSULE CORP' written in block letters the size of a man across the center, and windows placed periodically around it. After some close study and noting these features, one would realize that this was some form of space ship.
Inside, the occupants, all male, passed the time according to their preferences, usually by training or eating. The ship had a three-floor setup, with a tower of machinery in the center that reached from floor to ceiling in the middle floor. Two ladders, one up and one down, were about 4 feet from the wall. The top floor held the living quarters and some storage space; the bottom floor contained the kitchen and food storage area. There was a reddish haze inside the ship for seemingly no reason. One wild-haired man, the weakest of the group, was exercising by various means on the central floor, obviously some sort of gym. He wore a black suit that didn't cover his arms, leather gloves, a bandanna, yellow-toed white boots, and a weighted Saiyan armor vest. It seemed he was having more trouble than he should, though. No one knew why, or even how, he was with the others, but he wasn't complaining.
Another man, almost identical to the first in appearance but obviously not affected by whatever was causing him to strain, climbed up the kitchen ladder before looking at his co-passenger. This one wore nothing but a blue body suit. "Dad, how much gravity are you training under?" It seemed the son didn't even notice the gravity.
"Kakarot... Why should you care how much?" the father, Bardock, asked. Then he said, "Anyway, it's 250 times Earth's."
"How many times do I have to tell you, it's GOKU!" the man addressed as Kakarot complained. Normally he was fairly good-natured, normally he even answered to Kakarot when addressed as such, but the long voyage had frayed his nerves, along with the other occupants', and he no longer had the patience to be called anything but Goku, partly because all his co-passengers called him Kakarot. To put it short, the occupants were going stir-crazy and needed to find a way to vent their frustrations without killing each other.
A third man, this one slightly shorter than the others with hair that seemed to like reversing gravity and wearing a blue body suit, white gloves, yellow-toed white boots, and a Saiyan armor vest, climbed down the residential ladder, saying, "Stop your whining, Kakarot! You should know by now that any true Saiyan calls other Saiyans by their true name." When he got to the bottom of the ladder, he walked towards Goku, glaring all the way.
Goku, for a change, glared back, saying, "Shut up, Vegeta! I'll have to convince you guys to call me Goku eventually, so why not now?"
A fourth man fell through the hole in the ceiling by the ladder before saying, "Give it up, Kakarot- you're outvoted." This man was extremely tall, broad-shouldered to the point of near-squareness, and heavily built. He wore a red body suit, red-toed white boots, leather gloves without fingers, and a Saiyan armor vest with shoulder pads. All the occupants had monkey-like tails, but this man's was red. His hair was a blood red color and went straight back from his skull. At his arrival, Vegeta started to try to sneak away from the ladder, sweating nervously. "Hey, Vegeeeeeeeeetaaaaaaaaaaaa! I see you!" the giant exclaimed almost immediately. Then he left everyone's view for an instant before reappearing in front of Vegeta.
Vegeta recoiled before asking, in a quavering tone of voice, "What're you up to, Kaerlos?"
Kaerlos considered for a second before screaming right in Vegeta's face, which caused him to jump up to the ceiling in fear.
Vegeta hovered there for a second, clenching his chest and generally looking terrified. "Don't you dare do that again!" Bardock just shook his head in resignation.
Things continued in this fashion for several more months, just as it had for the entire 10 years since Kaerlos wished on Earth's regular Dragonballs for the Saiyans and their families to have eternal youth, despite the fact that some people didn't want it. The women had kicked Goku and Vegeta off the planet for not stopping him, and Kaerlos for making the wish. Bardock was just along for the ride. Good thing his other wish was for those same people to be able to breathe in space.

Ev eryone in the writer's box is reading the chapter.
Kaerlos: Yeah, scaring Vegeta is good, clean fun! *eyes Vegeta, as if considering scaring him*
TGSS5: I think my excuse for Bardock's presence will be that, if the Black Star Dragonballs are twice as powerful as the regular Dragonballs and the latter can restore planets, then the Black Stars should have the overflow from restoring the planet revive some or all of the people who died in its destruction.
Kaerlos, Vegeta, and Goku: So THAT'S why he's back...
Bardock (at the same time): So THAT'S why I'm back...
TGSS5: What're you three doing here? And HOW did you get out of my story?
Bardock: We didn't. Cartoon Network told us you were working on this and told us to come over and look it over.
Goku: Yeah, and it's not bad!
Vegeta: Yeah, to a moron like you!
TGSS5: Leave that to the readers to decide!
Goku, Vegeta, and Bardock: We are readers!
TGSS5: Who cares! Leave it to the OTHER readers, then! *to readers... BESIDES Goku, Vegeta, & Bardock* Please review! I wanna know if I'm doing anything wrong! Next chapter: The arrival!
