Previously on Dragon Ball...

Hey, are you listening?

Goku's first visit to the frozen tundra

took a nasty turn as his airplane nose-dived

into the thick snow below...

In this unforgiving weather

and with the Red Ribbon Army close at hand,

Goku would have been a goner without the help

of a young girl named Suno,

who pulled our hero by the heels

through the frozen wilderness,

toward the safety of her nearby village.

You imbecile!

Stop wasting my time and follow

that trail before the snow covers it up!

General White's troops widened their search,

their every resource dedicated to finding Goku

and the Dragon Ball he carries.

But the falling snow served to hinder the soldiers' progress,

and gave Goku some much needed time

to recover from his latest ordeal...

Suno and her mother placed the unconscious boy

in front of a warm fire,

and did what else they could to thaw him out.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long

before their kind efforts were rewarded.

I think he's waking up!

And with the addition of some extra clothes...

This feels great!

Goku was soon back on his feet

and feeling better than ever.

Don't worry about me...

I'll be fine.

His energy fully restored,

Goku raced away from Suno's house on a new mission.

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

He thinks he can, but so did your father.

To show his thanks,

Goku promised to rescue the village chief...

who is being held hostage by the Red Ribbon Army

in their heavily fortified Muscle Tower.

Power Pole extend!

Goku easily swept aside the first wave of guards

and vaulted his way onto the tower,

ready to face the many dangers ahead.

Little does he know,

General White is also ready for him.

Hmm?

Well, I am impressed, little lamb...

Come on up.

I'll be right here waiting for you.

The Terror of Muscle Tower

The Terror of Muscle Tower

"Major Metallitron"

Come inside...

You'll catch your death out here.

I was just hoping I'd see Goku...

This place is huge.

The chief could be anywhere.

I see you, intruder!

Hmm?

Welcome to Muscle Tower!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Huh?

Where are you? I can't see you!

What's it to you?

You're the trespasser!

What do you want?

I came to take the chief back to his village!

The chief? I see...

You've been sent here to retrieve him, have you?

Well by all means, come and get him.

Take the stairs all the way to the top floor.

You'll find him there.

Ah, just be sure to watch your step on the way up.

Thanks!

That's exactly what I'll do!

Huh?

Huh?

Look, a kid!

You startled us, boy!

And we hate to be startled...

Yeah... you're in for it!

General White, sir!

Want me to teach this kid a lesson?

Yes. Education is very important.

Who's there?

Murasaki!

Come in!

Come for the show?

Ahh!

Don't kill him too quick!

Yeah, it's important to learn about sharing, kid.

So pay attention, this is how it works.

You see, I'm gonna pummel you first,

then I'll let the other guys have a turn.

Ha...

Oof!

Huh?

Huh?

Why you little brat!

I'll pound you into mush!

I'll teach you!

Hiyah!

Hmm...

–Hiyah! –Oof!

Hmm.

Say good-bye!

B-bu-but... what the...

But I hit him... where did he go?

Hiii-ya!

Hmm...

Whew, I'm starting to work up a sweat.

Yeah...

This coat's gotta go.

Did you see that?

The way he vaporized like that, he's no normal boy.

I think I'm beginning to understand

how he was able to overpower Silver.

He beat up Colonel Silver?

You don't think he can make it up here, do you?

That is absolutely impossible, sir.

No one has ever defeated

the third floor guard, Major Metallitron...

But if by some chance he makes it past him,

I'll be waiting on the fourth floor.

I guess that'll take care of him...

I sure would enjoy a crack at the boy myself, though.

Metallitron, you have company on the way.

Show him your special hospitality.

Now, that's better.

Stop, intruder.

Wow!

You're huge!

I am the guard assigned to this floor.

You must get past me to proceed upstairs.

You mean... a fight?

You wanna bet on how long

it takes Metallitron to kill him?

I'd put my money

on one, perhapas two minutes, tops.

You're dead.

Where did he go?

Ha!

That was easy!

I bet I'll find the chief in no time!

Going up!

Going down.

Oh, yeah, this is it!

Oh no!

Remarkable.

That was pretty good, but it's my turn now!

That got him.

Hmm?

Nice...

You're back?

But I knocked you out with that last kick, didn't I?

Oof!

That's the end of that pest.

It took a bit longer than two minutes.

Major Metallitron's a little rusty, I guess.

Huh?

What is he, made of metal?

Ahh...!

That boy is hard-headed.

But all I'd say he's managed to do

is really tick off the good major.

Not again!

I'm mad.

Wow...

Have you ever thought about fighting in the tournament?

I hope nothing bad has happened to Goku.

The end!

Metallitron blew him to pieces!

I must confess,

that robot is one dangerous opponent...

I'm glad I didn't face him.

Yes, this is the first time

I've seen him fight seriously.

Powerful stuff.

Whew, that was close!

Victory.

Victory... Victory...

What kind of move was that...?

He shot his tongue out at me!

Hm.

I wonder how he gets it back in?

Maybe he's got two of them...

I dunno – but oh well, as long as we're showing tricks...

Hey!

Huh?

You missed me!

Impossible!

How could he dodge that?

But you know what?

I'm sure not gonna miss you!

Ka...

...me...

...ha...

...me...

Ha!

Uh...

Oh no...

I only wanted to stop him!

I didn't want to make his whole head come off!

What... just happened down there?

You were a really tough opponent.

Oh!

D-did I see his hand move?

That did it.

Very nice.

He's still moving?!

Destroy.

Destroy....

How's he doing this?

He's a monster!

Major Metallitron is a robot, you fool!

Go Major!

To the end!

Destroy.

Destroy. Destroy. Destroy...!

Destroy...

No!

Destroy.

Destroy.

Uh... huh?

Oof!

That's it!

I've had it with this fight!

Destroy.

Ugh, this guy is annoying me!

Destroy...

Ka... me...

...ha...

...me...

Ha–uh??!

Uh...

Huh?

Hiyah! Yah! Yah!

Uh...

Is it really over?

Get up, fool!

Get up!

Uh, I think his batteries may have run out of juice.

His batteries?!

Well, I remember

they were changed last spring sometime...

What a tough fight!

I hope there aren't any more like him around here!

Hmmm...

It seems we underestimated this boy.

Why are you still here?

Get to the fourth floor and defend it!

Goku may have beaten Major Metallitron,

but there's still a long way to go

before he reaches the top of the tower

and General White is making sure there's plenty

to stand in his way!

Watch out, Goku! Ninja Murasaki is coming!

Back at the village,

as the air outside fills with snow,

the air inside is filled with worry!

Suno and her mother hope against hope

that Goku will be the first person to challenge

the Red Ribbon Army and escape from Muscle Tower alive.

Can our hero possibly survive?
