Previously, on Dragon Ball:

News of Goku's crash landing spread

through the ranks of the Red Ribbon Army.

What?

There's a plane down?

It's got to be the missing jet

headquarters radioed about!

According to the report, there was a boy flying that plane...

There's no sign of him here, sir.

Just a shattered robot.

He's out there somewhere.

Find him!

Hey, I think I got something.

Look at this!

Looks like tracks.

Hmm.

Something's been dragged outta here... or someone.

Sno, Girl of the North

Sno, Girl of the North

"Cold Reception"

Tracks?!

You're calling in to report tracks?!

You imbecile!!

Stop wasting my time and follow that trail

before the snow covers it up!

Yes sir...

Move out!

Report, sergeant.

Any sign of the boy?

Not yet, sir.

It's kinda hard to see on account of all the snow.

It's a blizzard, you idiot!

Of course it's hard to see!

Which means that kid couldn't have gotten far!

Now, move your tank and find him!

Yes, sir!

All right, people! Listen up!

We're rolling out.

Look sharp and follow my lead!

Mother! Mother!

Come quick!

Suno!

What are you doing out in weather like this?

You'll catch your death of cold!

I found something, mother.

Oh my!

It's a boy.

He fell from a plane.

That's a matter for the authorities, dear.

But I think he's still alive.

Huh?!

How can one little boy evade an entire army?

Maybe I should fire my soldiers and hire him instead.

Crafty little bug.

I'm going to enjoy squishing him.

He looks so peaceful sitting there.

Can we keep him?

He's not a pet, Suno.

He's better. He's a boy!

Now I'll have someone to play with!

I think he's waking up!

What?

Hi.

Who're... you?

I'm Suno.

I'm cold.

Yeah, you were frozen!

Here. Drink this.

You'll feel better.

Ahh... Thanks!

Silly... you have to blow on it first.

You know, you gave us quite a scare.

If you'd been out there any longer,

I don't think we would've been able to thaw you out.

How did I get here anyway?

Me. I found you in the woods.

Oh, I guess I don't remember... but thanks.

Oh, no problem...

I was coming home anyway...

Yep, you'd probably be dead right now if it weren't for me.

Stuck out there, frozen stiff.

So tell us about yourself.

Do you have a name to go with that handsome haircut?

My name's Goku.

I came here looking for a Dragon Ball.

Boy, this is good!

Dragon Ball?!

Huh?

Are you a Red Ribbon soldier?

What? No... I'm no soldier.

But I did run into some before I came here.

They were mean, too.

Stop! Stop!!

Soldier, look in the back,

and see if there's an extra pair of shorts.

Yes, sir.

Coordinate X1 appears to be a dead end.

Repeat, X1 is a dead end.

We're turning East to coordinate X2. Copy?

Turning East to coordinate X2!

–Wait! –Huh?

Cancel that order.

He's not here.

Granny...

What big eyes you have.

Please... don't hurt us!

Listen!

If you happen to spot a little boy, you be sure to let us know.

There are other houses to search in this cesspool to search.

Let's go!

Wait!

These Red Ribbon guys

must be the ones that're after the Dragon Balls!

I wonder why they want them so bad?

I don't know.

Maybe for the same reason you do.

But I'm only looking for one.

It belongs to my grandpa...

Here, I'll show you.

This is a Dragon Ball.

That's a–

Dragon Ball?

Mmhmm.

Wow... it's beautiful.

This isn't the one I'm looking for, though...

The one I want has four stars on it.

Maybe the Army wants them

because they're worth a lot of money!

It certainly looks valuable...

Sure, it looks really nice,

but there's more to it than that.

It's got magic powers...

There are seven of these in all, and if you bring them together

then the Great Dragon comes out and gives you a wish!

A dragon?

Yep!

I've only seen it once– well, heard it mostly.

♪ They say it can fulfill any dream ♪

♪ exactly as a person wishes and desires ♪

♪ A secretly hidden drama, ♪

♪ A dream from distant, ancient days ♪

♪ The miracles set into the seven balls ♪

♪ will be revived, here and now! ♪

♪ Come out, Dragon, just for me ♪

♪ My heart is pounding with excitement ♪

♪ Sending out its courage, far away! ♪

So, what did you wish for?

Me?

I didn't wish for anything!

♪ Come out, Dragon, just for me ♪

You didn't?

So how do you know it really works?

♪ I want you to grant me my wish, ♪

Well, I didn't get to make a wish,

but my friend Oolong did!

♪ Pursuing my dreams, far away! ♪

I'm a coward.

I don't want to be the hero!

I don't want to save the day!

This stinks!

♪ Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball ♪

And do you know what he wished for?

What? Tell me! Tell me!

♪ Dragon Ball, I'll get it! ♪

The world's most comfortable pair of underwear!

Oooh!

Underwear?!

Why would anyone wish for something so stupid, huh?!

It wasn't my wish...

I'm sure... someone... um, oh...

Hey!

There was another guy who wanted to rule the world!

Oh wow!

That's it! Huh?

That must be the reason

the Red Ribbon Army is trying to find all the Dragon Balls...

These are the kind of men

who would want to take over the world.

I hope not, because I think there's another

ball near here, and if–

We know.

My father and the others are helping them search for it.

Your father?

I guess the army didn't have enough soldiers

to search an area this big

so they forced many of the villagers to help them.

If there aren't that many,

why don't the villagers fight the soldiers?

Because they're too strong.

And they've got weapons!

What's more, they've kidnapped our village chief,

and they're holding him hostage in their tower.

And if we don't do what they say...

They're going to hurt him.

Oh...

Maybe we should just give them what they're after...

So they'll leave our village in peace...

Yes...

Maybe if you give them the Dragon Ball you have,

the army will go away and leave us alone!

It's not even the one you want!

Right!

Thank you.

Don't worry. I'll beat them.

It's the least I can do for all your help.

What are you, crazy?

They have big tanks and guns!

And you're just a little boy!

What was that noise?

I-It m-might be the...

Quick.

You'd better hide somewhere.

Oh, first I've gotta use the bathroom!

Knock-knock.

I'm looking for a boy!

There's no one here but my daughter and me.

No!

Ow!

Is this your father?

No! They're Red Ribbon soldiers!

Run for it!

Oh, well in that case...

Fight!

You little–

Hiyah!

Are you all right?!

You just punched those soldiers!

Actually it was 6 punches and...

One, two, three, four– yeah, four kicks.

That was... unbelievable.

Don't be silly. You just saw me do it.

Okay, I'll go get your chief and then we can eat lunch!

Bu–wait!

Unusual boy...

I know...

I hope we see him again.

I-It's kinda... c-cold outside!

Here. Try and stay warm.

I'll get you some of my clothes to wear.

Goku, listen to me... This is foolish.

Do you have any idea what's out there?

Sure, bad guys.

Hey, see how these fit.

I'm afraid we haven't told you the whole story...

The Red Ribbon Army

is holding our village chief in a place called Muscle Tower.

It's the Army General's command post.

It's got solid stone walls fortified with guns and guards

and who knows what other dangers.

Several of the village men

have already tried to rescue our chief.

Not one of them made it out of the tower alive.

Sounds scary.

I wonder how long it'll take me to get there?

This feels great!

Listen. Take care of yourself...

and don't take chances.

Don't worry about me... I'll be fine.

Say, what do you call this cold, white mushy stuff?

Its... called snow.

Amazing!

Well, gotta run. See ya! Bye!

Do you really think he can defeat the army, mother?

He thinks he can, but so did your father.

Huh?

Hey! What...

What the–

Huh?

Hey!

Where do you think you're going, kid?

I'm going to the tower.

Huh?

Oh, got some pressing business there, do ya?

Why don't you run home to your mommy.

Are you soldiers of the Red Ribbon Army?

Yeah...that would be us, kiddo.

In that case–

Fight me!

Huh?

Hmm?

Oof!

Huh?

Hiyah!

Huh?

Intruder!

General, there's a kid storming the tower!

What?!

Heh!

Like a lamb to the slaughter...

Fire! Fire now!

Power Pole extend!

Power Pole retract!

Well, I am impressed little lamb...

Come on up.

I'll be right here waiting for you.

Now that our hero

has made it onto the mysterious Muscle Tower,

what peril awaits him inside?

Will he be able to rescue the village chief?

And can even Goku defeat

the diabolical General White and his hideous agenda?

Find out on the next thrilling episode of Dragon Ball!
