Dragon Ball IP was my first Dragon Ball story and how the whole thing started for me. I don't want to give too detailed an analysis of what led up to this, but the gist is that I got reinterested in Dragon Ball and wanted to write a story about it. I thought about the story for months in advance and published some of it on fanfiction.net before posting it here. At the time of posting this story, it was considered one of the only good stories on the site. I will also be doing my endnotes by the chapter for this story.
