Choices
It was choice that originally took him to Earth, a choice to defy orders and take control of his own life. But for every decision we make there is a splinter universe in which we didn't, in which we took the other road. This is a story about one of the other roads.
Radditz doesn't go to Earth. Bulma doesn't go to Namek. Goku never died when he was meant to and the Earth never has a chance to prepare for Freeza's forces by the time they finally absorb it. Bulma is abducted and forced to reproduce Capsule Tech. Vegeta is the last of his race struggling to endure a life of subjugation under his tormentor. There are rebel forces, intergalactic space battles and the retelling of one of anime and manga's favourite love stories.
We are defined by the choices we make. That sentiment, though not original, provides both the title and premise for this alternate universe work about one of the most intriguing pairings in, well, the universe.
