Guardian is a Dragon Ball fanfic written by Mr. Arkham, best known for writing The Fall of Lord Frieza. Much like the previously mentioned fic, this story is a What If? tale but unlike it's predecessor, this tale takes the DBZ universe in much more radical new directions.The story involves a small malfunction in Kakarot's space-pod causing him to crash down not in Grandpa Gohan's mountain, but right on Kami's Lookout. Reminded of his own coming to earth, and fearing what might happen if an aggressive alien child is set loose on the planet, Kami decides to adopt the Saiyan child as his own and starts to raise him as a successor for the title of 'Guardian of Earth.'And from there, the universe diverges VASTLY from canon, showing what would happen to the Dragon Ball universe if Goku hadn't been around. The results are...interesting to say the least. Word of God claims that the story was inspired by Superman: Red Son and The Nail, so that should give an indication of how different this world is.It can be read here.

Can't Catch Up: Explored and treated with sympathy. Despite their best efforts and abilities like an enhanced Kaioken, the non-Saiyans can't attain the same level of strength that a Saiyan can. It's most notable when Kami gives it his all against Cell, just to be of some use to the others.

What If?: Without Goku around in the 'Dragon Ball' period of the series, we get things like: The Red Ribbon Army never being destroyed and becoming a global superpower, Chi Chi becoming more interested in her royal duties and training to be a warrior rather than obsessing over romance, Mister Satan never becoming a global mega-star, etcetera.

Friends even." Kakarot has attacks named after the titles of different Dragon Ball games, such as Raging Blast and Sparking Meteor. The author also admits Bulma`s armor idea is based off the Extremis armor from the Iron Man comic series

Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome: Many elements of Dragon Ball lore such as Senzu Beans get put to much more use than they were in canon. Characters like Nam, Dr. Gero, Chi Chi and Raditz among others also prove themselves as far more capable than their canon counterparts.
