"The Secret of Dr. Flappe"

The sun brightens on a new day in Suno's village.

Joy fills every home as the villagers celebrate

the safe return of their chief.

At Suno's house, Goku enjoys a much-deserved break

from his adventures by doing what he loves most.

My, someone's hungry this morning.

Mmm!

Eurgh...

Aaahhh...

That sure was great!

Goku!

Eat all you want, son.

Because of you, our village is whole again.

Mother, bring Goku another casserole.

In all the commotion, I forgot to ask you

if you ever found that ball you were looking for, sweetie.

That's right.

No one ever found the Dragon Ball.

We searched everywhere for it, but nothing ever turned up.

It was probably never here at all.

Or so I guess.

Wait.

Speak up.

What's wrong, Eighter?

I have it with me.

Here it is.

The two-star ball!

You found it, Eighter!

Are you telling me the Red Ribbon Army

had the Dragon Ball the whole time?

I found the ball inside an ice cave, near Muscle Tower.

I was going to give it to General White,

but then I learned he was planning

to kill all of the villagers once he had recovered it.

I couldn't bear the thought of being responsible

for something like that, so I kept it hidden.

You, my friend, are a true hero.

That cinches it then...

You're welcome to live in our village.

Me? And Goku, too?

Of course!

You're both honorary members of this village.

You can stay here as long as you want.

Thank you, but I can't stay.

Why not?

This one's nice, but I'm looking for the four-star ball.

That's the one my Grandpa gave to me.

It's the only one I care about.

I see...

Eighter, you're welcome to live at my house if you'd like.

Huh? With you?

Wow! That's great, isn't it?

Just think, now you'll have real friends and a real house!

Yes...

Then it's settled!

But I'm not really human.

I've met people I wouldn't call human.

It's your heart that counts, and you've got a big one.

That's nice...

You're all so kind to me.

This is fantastic.

I know the other villagers will be just as excited as we are.

You'll love it here!

I must go...

Aww...

Thank you.

I appreciate the offer... but I can't live with you.

Why not?

There's a bomb planted somewhere inside my body.

A bomb?

I remember.

All right!

Now get started...

Take care of this nuisance!

I can't.

Huh?!

Yes, excuse me, but I...

I hate violence.

We planned for an incidence just like this.

A surprise was implanted in your body when you were built.

Let's call it obedience insurance.

All I have to do is press this big red button

one time and then BOOM!

The bomb inside you detonates!

Oh! That's unimaginable.

There's no way of knowing when it will explode.

Why would anyone do such a thing?!

I'm so sorry...

I can't stay here.

I would be putting everyone's life in danger.

No. It doesn't have to be this way, Eighter.

Huh?

I know someone who can help...

His name is Dr. Flappe.

That's right! He can save you.

Dr. Flappe is a genius!

Dr. Flappe?

So, who is he?

He is an extraordinary scientist.

He lives alone in the mountains behind the village.

He built a laboratory up there

so he can work on his experiments undisturbed.

You could ask the doctor if he would remove

the bomb from your body!

The problem is he doesn't care much for people.

If he doesn't like you, he won't even talk to you.

Hmm...

Dr. Flappe loves me.

I've been to his house several times.

I bet he'd talk to Eighter if I were there.

That's true.

The doctor is rather fond of Suno.

If she goes along, he might be inclined to help Eighter out.

Will you go with him, sweet pea?

Mm-hmm!

Hey! I'll go too!

Then it's settled!

You kids will leave first thing tomorrow.

Thank you for being so kind to me...

Oooh!

You can have them if you want.

Are you kidding?

And have the Red Ribbon Army after me? No thanks.

They're your balls... You keep them.

Okay. Suit yourself.

Goku, is that the radar

General White was trying to steal from you?

Yep, it sure is!

It was a present from my friend Bulma.

See, you just push this button...

What the– Hey!

What's the matter?

I don't know.

I-It doesn't seem to be working.

I guess I must've broken it while I was fighting.

If the doctor can help Eighter,

maybe he can also fix your gadget too!

Oh... that's a great idea!

Do you have the food I packed?

Yes, Mother.

Soon you'll be good as new, my boy!

Goodbye, see ya! Thank you so much, bye!

See that big mountain up ahead?

The doctor lives right behind it.

It sure is a long journey.

I hope he's willing to help.

He's a very nice person once you get to know him.

I guess it won't hurt us to ask.

The worst thing he can do is say no.

Come on, guys.

There's nothing to worry about.

Dr. Flappe is a sweet old man.

He's up there all day creating all sorts of wonderful stuff

you wouldn't believe.

Hmmm...

I hope you're right, Suno.

Where do you think you're going?

Huh?

Wait!

I don't think we should watch.

You'll pay for that, you dispicable runt!

Wow! What a shiny pond.

You're standing on the water!

Of course. The water is frozen.

What kind of water is that?

The water became hard in the cold temperature, that's all.

Whatcha waitin' for, silly?

Let's go!

All right! I'm in. Here goes nothing!

That was funny!

Oh yeah! That was great!

Come on, Eighter!

Join the fun!

Wow! This hard pond is great!

Who knew water could do so many neat things?

We have to come back and do this again!

What a moron.

It doesn't take a ninja to walk on ice.

Huh?

Oh!

Great! Would you just leave already?!

Did you hear that?

I could have sworn I heard a splash.

Me too... very strange.

Ho-ho. This is nothing...

Hmm...

Ohh... he's talking too much...

Well, I don't hear anything.

I guess not.

Ugh, I always knew I'd die an ironic death!

Come on, we'd better go.

Yeah.

I can't take it anymore!

I need air! Can't breathe!

Where's the hole?! Where's the stupid hole?!

Open up, ice!

Dang, this ice is hard...

I hate that kid!

Look! We made it!

Let's go!

Huh?

Oh, how'd they see me?!

It's a bear!

Hm! Uh, just a bear!

Come on!

Hah. Bear...

A circus bear!

Huh?

I am a bear covered with snow...

Curses!

Wait here. Let me see if he's home.

Hello? Dr. Flappe, are you home?

Maybe he's gone.

Private property!

Doctor!

Suno!

So, ze two of you took on

ze entire Red Ribbon Army, huh?

That's right.

They're both very strong.

No, no. Not me.

I'm really not that strong.

Oh, yes you are.

Stop joking around.

Remember how you tore down Muscle Tower?

Anyvay, I'm glad ze village eez at peace again.

I hope the Red Ribbon Army never returns.

Me, too.

Did the army do anything to you while they were here?

Ahh?! No, no, I never saw a trace of ze army up here.

They do not, uh, like it. It is too cold.

You're lucky. Can you believe those mean men

actually put a bomb in Eighter's body?

Hmm...

You can take it out, can't you?

You can save Eighter! Dr. Flappe!

You can take out his bomb, right?

Uh... Yes, yes, of course. Absolutely.

Don't give it a second thought.

Thank you, Dr. Flappe! That's great!

Isn't it, Goku?

Poor boy must be exhausted.

He'll sleep better with a pillow and blanket.

I'll be right back.

It's been a long time...

Murasaki!

Please, leave me alone!

What's the matter, Doc?

Aren't you happy to see me?

We have a little business to discuss.

I told General White I'm out for good!

Whatever deal you made with the good General

went out the window with him.

He and his soldiers were defeated yesterday

after Android No. 8 went renegade.

You remember that one, right?

Of course you do.

After all, you made him.

Just think, Doctor, how all your fellow villagers

might react if they learned of your involvement

with the Red Ribbon Army.

That you were the man responsible for giving life

to their most monstrous creation!

If word gets out, there won't be a mountain high enough

to keep you safe.

Just tell me what you want me to do!

The brat sleeping in your living room has the Dragon Ball.

I want you to get it for me.

After that, all you have to do is take care of the boy...

permanently.

No! I vill not do that! Never!

Are you sure?

I could have gone back to the village

and gotten a blanket faster than this.

Just like you, doctor, I'm about to lose my patience.

Hello?

Suno! Run, run, dear!

Come here!

I'll make this simple.

Do as I say, or the girl gets it.

I understand!

Doctor?

What are you doing with his Dragon Balls?

Wait! Stop!

Is it lunchtime?

At last it's mine!

That's Suno! She's in trouble!

Sergeant Murasaki!

So long, losers!

Who went out the window?

It was Murasaki, and he took your Dragon Balls with him.

What?!

Stop! Thief!

Just like old times, hey, little brat?!

Come on! Eat snow!

Hey! Come back!

Stop! Give me back my stuff!

Wait!

So long, shorty!

Ka...me...ha...me...

Haaa!

Oh, thank goodness it's here!

I was afraid he would eat my lunch!

Somehow, I always thought Dragon Balls were bigger.

Hmm...

I did it. Zere's nothing more to worry about.

–Yeah! –All right!

Quick hands.

I owe you my life, Doctor.

Thank you.

–Thank you! –Thanks, Doctor!

Yes, yes. You're welcome.

But there's one little thing...

Your radar is too sophisticated for me to handle.

I... couldn't fix it.

That's okay.

I'll just take it back to Bulma.

She'll know what to do with it...

Wha...?

The bomb!

–So long, Bye-bye! –Take care, Dr. Flappe.

Bye!

Good luck, my friends!

I wish I had ze courage

to tell 8 that I planted ze bomb.

I had no choice.

Zey would have killed ze villagers if I didn't.

Bye!

Perhaps some day I can tell him ze truth...

Like the ebb and flow of the tides,

my wrath shall remain constant...

I'll have my revenge!

It's always nice to end a story with a bang.
