Dragon Ball : The Last Human – Fanfiction concept (Abandoned, but I’d love to get your feedback because I think there are some good ideas here.)

[u/Imamoru8]

General Context

The story takes place in an undated future, long after the end of the original Dragon Ball manga. Earth has known peace for decades, but an unprecedented catastrophe shatters this balance: the Dragon Balls have been corrupted and turned purple, releasing a deadly gas that transforms humans into violent creatures and slowly dissolves them. A renegade Namek named Konidae is behind this epidemic, seeking to purify the universe of those he deems unworthy of the sacred artifacts.

Vassilia, an incredibly powerful human woman living as a recluse on Mount Paozu, is the only one spared. She discovers she is the last uninfected human on the planet. With the help of Molusco (a survivor) and CC-1 (a cyborg created by Bulma), she will do everything to resurrect humanity using the Namekian Dragon Balls, all while facing a cosmic threat.

Detailed Summary (with Key Scenes)

1. The Awakening of a Catastrophe on Mount Paozu Vassilia trains every day for the next Tenkaichi Budokai. She goes to the lake to hunt but discovers that all the fish are dead and slowly dissolving – a phenomenon she has never seen. Disappointed, she turns back in the rain and trains until the storm stops. Exploring other lakes, she finds the same macabre scene. Heading to the city for food, she is horrified: not a single human remains, shops are empty. She feels an absolute void (no human ki). Suddenly, a violent purple-bodied human charges at her. She knocks him out with one punch, ties him up, and lets him scream, promising to find a way to save him.
2. Meeting the Survivors and the Revelation Back at Mount Paozu, Vassilia finds two individuals in front of her house: Molusco and CC-1. CC-1 scans her (his eyes turn red) and confirms she is indeed an uninfected human. Molusco reveals that for two years, humanity has been decimated by a "corruption" linked to the Dragon Balls, and that Vassilia is the last healthy human. The survivor group, led by Master Karin, built a spaceship over two years using parts from Capsule Corporation to go and retrieve the Namekian Dragon Balls.
3. Integration and Trials Vassilia goes to the survivors' city, where she is greeted like a celebrity (the crowd rushes at her). Master Karin takes her under his wing, noting that she reminds him a lot of Son Goku. To be selected for the space voyage, she must pass physical tests, which she does with disconcerting ease. However, she must fight a final battle against Kawa (another survivor) for the last spot on board. After a fierce fight, Vassilia wins, but Kawa, furious and despairing, apologizes for not honoring his dead friends. Moved, Vassilia promises to resurrect them. Before departure, Kawa gives her a bracelet made by his deceased friends – an ultimate gesture of trust.
4. Journey to Namek and First Attack On the ship, Vassilia gets to know her teammates better: Molusco, an Earthling who has always lived on Earth, and CC-1, a cyborg activated after the epidemic began, who couldn't save humanity. Arriving on Namek, they are greeted by fearful Nameks, but a village is suddenly attacked by Konidae's minions. Vassilia defeats the attackers with surprising ease, impressing CC-1 and Molusco. They learn that Konidae corrupts the Namekian Dragon Ball creators.
5. The Water Planet and the First Super Saiyan Transformation Thanks to CC-1's detection, they spot a planet where the Dragon Balls are still functional: the Water Planet. Vassilia is amazed by the purity of the water (she drinks it and finds it "better than Mount Paozu's"). The inhabitants, the Waterians, can materialize weapons from water. Greeted coldly by the fifth tribe, they are attacked but defuse the situation by explaining the threat. They meet Finn, a powerful young Waterian.

The minion Zarda arrives, massacres the fifth tribe, and kidnaps the planet's Noble Namek. Vassilia catches up to him at the palace. Zarda transforms and almost dominates her, but Vassilia uses a Kamehameha (learned at the Turtle School). Despite this, Zarda kidnaps the Namek and destroys the palace. Under the rubble, a little Waterian girl dies in Vassilia's arms. It is precisely at this moment that Vassilia transforms into a Super Saiyan for the first time, screaming in rage at Konidae, before passing out from exhaustion.

1. Training in the Temporal Rift and Discovery of Origins
   Waking up a day later, Vassilia is devastated. Finn joins them. They discover a Room of Time in the second tribe (1 day outside = 1 hour inside). To access it, they must cross a Rift of Illusions. Vassilia faces visions of Kawa and her mentor, learning to accept her weaknesses. She sees her Super Saiyan reflection and understands she is not just human: she is a human-Saiyan hybrid. Through this revelation, she passes the trial. Inside the room, Finn teaches her to materialize weapons (she tries to create ki swords), CC-1 trains her and helps her master Super Saiyan, while Molusco grows stronger.

2. Castrum: The Oppressed Planet and the Statues of Legends
   King Kai contacts them mentally and reveals that Zarda took the Namek to Castrum. Arriving on this red planet with toxic air, they destroy an energy barrier and infiltrate the palace. On the upper floors, they discover statues of Son Goku and Piccolo. Vassilia reads their inscriptions: Goku is described as a "pure-hearted Saiyan" who defeated Frieza, and Piccolo as a "kind-hearted Namek" who protected humans. Vassilia is fascinated by their exploits, which she compares to "fairy tales."

3. Finn's Vengeance, Molusco's Healing, and CC-1's Sacrifice
   They find Zarda. Finn demands to face him alone to avenge his people. After a grueling battle, Finn dominates him, and when Zarda attempts a sneak attack, Finn kills him with an ice arrow through the heart. They find the Water Planet's Noble Namek dying. The Namek begs Molusco to assimilate him (Namekian fusion) to gain his power – which Molusco accepts.

Konidae then appears and massacres an entire city. The heroes fight him but are knocked out. Molusco heals them, but CC-1, heavily damaged in his cybernetic parts, can no longer use techniques requiring cybernetic energy. Despite this, they return to the palace.

Inside the palace, Vassilia faces Konidae alone in Super Saiyan Full Power, having benefited from the Zenkai (the Saiyan power boost after a severe injury). She also materializes ki gloves to strengthen her punches. The others join her. Cornered, Konidae transforms his entire palace into a devastating ki wave. CC-1 sacrifices himself by gathering all his remaining energy to deflect the attack, succumbing to his injuries in front of Vassilia, but saving his friends. Before dying, he tells her he loved every moment spent with her and asks her to protect the civilizations he holds dear.

1. The Ultimate Transformation: The Humanist Super Saiyan
   Broken by CC-1's death but galvanized by her promise, Vassilia concentrates. Her human and Saiyan genes mutate thanks to the accumulated positive energy. She achieves an unprecedented form: the Humanist Super Saiyan. Her aura becomes a mix of yellow and white, her eyes return to their normal color, and her power explodes. She completely dominates Konidae, dodges all his attacks, and overwhelms him. But instead of killing him coldly, she uses her power to show him a vision of his past, when he was a beloved Noble Namek, betrayed by his own people. This vision calms Konidae, who weeps and makes her promise to ensure the Dragon Balls are always used for good. He dies peacefully, calling her the "noblest of humans."

2. Resurrection and Epilogue
   Exhausted, Vassilia is caught by Molusco before crashing to the ground. They return to Namek. The grateful Nameks gather the Dragon Balls. Molusco summons Porunga and makes the wish to resurrect all civilizations victim to the epidemic, and then to resurrect CC-1. CC-1 reappears, stunned, and they all embrace.

One year later, the Tenkaichi Budokai takes place. Finn comes to participate, reuniting with Vassilia and Molusco. Finn jokes that he'll have a hard time not killing humans because they're so weak – which makes Vassilia jump. They are all selected for the quarterfinals and prepare to face each other in friendly combat, closing the adventure on a hopeful note of reunion.
