THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME. SOMEBODY WRITE AN AU ABOUT THIS PLEASE.
An AU with the original Z-crew as mafia members? Hurrrrr. Goku would be the leader, a title passed onto him by Grandpa Gohan. His blunt and mischievous behaviour causes the group to get into a lot of fights and misunderstandings with rival groups, and believe me, everyone gets tired of his shit sometimes, but his strength and contagious optimism are what keeps them functioning, honestly. Yamcha is, as always, the one with the encyclopedic knowledge of every mafia member they should be aware of, and all the miscellaneous things no one else bothers to research. His real goal is to marry a beautiful girl, but with the shenanigans the group gets into, it’s a bit hard to do. Also, he’s scared of them, and likes to play it off as if he isn’t, but everyone knows. C’mon Yamcha, you’re too obvious. Krillin had no connections with the mafia life before, but Goku saved his butt one day, and they became buddies quite quickly. He’s the guy who has all the guys. You need someone to wash your dog? He got it. You need to buy a jet? He knows someone who’s selling. Why does he have all this information? Because he’s a nice guy, and has been travelling around for quite some time, that’s why. Tien Shinhan and Chaotzu were members of a rival group, until they were sent on a suicide mission, and realized what an ass Master Crane was. Also, they unintentionally made their ex-group go into a huge debt, and got their asses out of there before anyone could notice. Oops.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH YISSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
Goku is like the kind of leader that encourages everybody! “We’re gonna do it guys. We’re gonna defeat everybody!”
I’d like Krillin to be the one with the biggest brain there, like he didn’t know an ounce about that world but as soon as he is in HE BECOMES SO GREAT AT IT (And heck yes! He knows a lot of people that can help them without hesitating) And I’d like Yamcha to be the kind of guy that picks up in fights because he can’t keep his mouth shout (always boosting himself and the other guys)
LOVED THE TIEN AND CHAOTSU ONE. GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAT. They find out that Crane just wanted to get rid of them and decide to take revenge on him!
Oh my god this is perfect!
And everyone is somewhat skeptical, like they know they usually will make it, but the circumstances are so bad how can they be realistic about it.
Yues! Krillin and Yamcha, I imagine, would be the most sensible among the group. The one with the most street and book smarts. :’) HAHA, that is pretty much Yamcha, especially prior to the Cell Games. Maybe he, Goku, and Tien would provoke their enemies, and he’d be the one to just stop “HOLD ON I RECOGNIZE THAT TECHNIQUEE OMGOSH COULD IT BE???” Heh, I suddenly imagined the group barging into Master Crane’s HQ (no way are they going to be discreet about it), and asking for a fight. Master Crane sends out his own version of the Ginyu Force (Crane Force), and they do a pose together. The Z-Crew look at them, flabbergasted.
*legit crying* hahaha oh boy.
They get into Crane's HQ by Goku basically crashing their car on the wall (IDK if I want them to have ki attacks. Wait no, it's better if they stay with martial arts! I mean they have guns and all but never feel the need to use them since they're hella rad with the combats. OH YES. OLD SCHOOL DB AT IT'S BEST)
Crane force. jESUS CHRIST. Giran would probably be part of it with his special gum and all of that being silly. YES!
