The Dragon Balls: Seven mystical spheres which, when brought together, summon forth a dragon capable of granting a single wish...

Ever since their power was discovered by a 16 year old girl named Bulma and her friend Goku, the Dragon Balls had become a vital resource to our heroes. The sacred dragon Shenron was summoned numerous times on Earth, each occasion to help the planet's defenders against the many dangerous threats that arose.

Goku and his friends continued to grow in strength over the years, gaining incredible power as they defended the Earth against a multitude of evil beings from across the universe. Finally, after decades of fighting for their own lives over and again -- during which time they defeated the Saiyans, Freeza's empire, the vile Cyborgs of Dr. Gero, and the evil djinn Majin Buu -- peace was finally restored on the Earth.

The defeat of Majin Buu gave way to this magnificent era of peace, leading Goku to Uub, the good-hearted reincarnation of Majin Buu, and his granddaughter Pan. Goku, knowing he wouldn't be alive forever, saw this as an opportunity to train both Uub and Pan to eventually take over his position as Earth's defenders. The future looked bright in the hands of Goku and his disciples.

But now, somewhere far, far away -- after twenty years of peace -- a new challenge looms on the horizon for our heroes...

Millions of light years from the Earth, somewhere in the North Galaxy, two planets moved rapidly and inexorably toward a sun -- as if on a collision course with the massive star. The imminent impact between them seemed inevitable. Just as the sun seemed to snap the two planets from their moons, a bright, blurry object appeared in the center -- seemingly out of nowhere amidst the chaos.

Upon its inception, the sun and the planets instantly resumed their places, as if nothing had even happened. The object, a tapered horizontal E-shaped spacecraft with five domes of glass, began to move through the vacuum of space. Whirring and emitting waves of energy, the object immediately bolted off to an unknown destination, flying at top speed.

Within the ship, specifically the central hub of the white armored vessel -- in the most prominent glass dome -- were small, feathered creatures. Their pointy ears and sharp beaks bobbed busily from side to side as they scurried about the cream-white control room, each working hard to maintain the proper functioning of their spaceship.

One among them peered closely at a small computer screen before raised his voice to report to his superior. The higher ranking creature, who was slightly larger in size, turned to him with a nod.

"Parallel universe #5098487923674," the officer began, "we've arrived at our destination."

“Deploy the scanners, then,” the superior replied, instinctively as if this was the hundredth time.

The creatures busily monitored their respective computers for the scan results, posting the most-important details of their discoveries up on the main view-screen. The vessel's main commander appeared in the room after a few moments, his arms crossed behind his back in dignified observation as he analyzed the data on screen. "Report," he said, continuing to eye the main monitor with interest.

"Several strong power levels detected," said one of the creatures. "They are all gathered on the same planet."

"The Earth?" the commander said aloud, as if he needed a confirmation of what he was reading on the screen.

"Yes, sir. The Earth, again. But these appear to be different from any of the others so far," the officer said to his commander, who'd just begun to move away.

"Very well... We'll invite them," replied the commander. "Let's go."
