Previously on Dragon Ball...

Fearing Goku would attack the Red Ribbon Army

by himself, Bulma dispatched a probe to search

for her friend and any sign of trouble.

Determining her suspicion was valid;

she assembled Yamcha and the others to assist Goku

in his risky assault.

Meanwhile, Commander Red anxiously

awaited the return of Mercenary Tao and the Dragon Balls

he was to have stolen from Goku.

However, it was Goku, not the hired assassin,

who prevailed and was now on his way to face the maniacal tyrant.

No matter the cost, Goku was determined

to retrieve the Dragon Balls in Commander Red's possession.

For only with all seven balls could he summon

the Eternal Dragon and restore life to Upa's father.

And so, Goku and his friends

have embarked on their most perilous adventure yet.

One that will lead them to war against

the entire Red Ribbon empire.

It's time! The final showdown has begun!

The Red Ribbon Army's

Desperate Offensive-Defensive

The Red Ribbon Army's

"A Real Bind"

So far, so good.

The navigational radar is clear and all systems check out.

We've now reached cruising altitude.

This trip is as far from a cruise as you can get!

I don't know why we even bothered to bring him.

All he does is think about himself!

Why risk my life? Give me one good reason.

You're going; it's not up for discussion!

Anyway, I can remember a time or two

when Goku helped you out of a jam!

Uh, Excuse me, Yamcha?

Do you think there's anything that an old turtle

like me can do to help?

I think we could put ya to good use!

Yes sir, turtle soup will make a nice victory meal!

No, Launch, No!

That girl is nuts!

Hey, Master Roshi?

Yeah, son?

Do you have any idea where Krillin ran off to?

He went for a swim across the sea,

and some shopping on the mainland.

He was too impatient to wait until he could get a ride.

We could sure use his help, too.

Do you think we could still catch up to him?

We oughtta be able to spot him

–if we fly a little lower– Ah! –Cool. Now, everyone

keep your eyes peeled!

Please tell me you remembered to disarm all the defense systems.

Of course!

Checked and double-checked, Commander!

Good.

A shower of missiles wouldn't make a very good welcome

for Mercenary Tao.

No sir!

Four more Dragon Balls...

Did you make the arrangements for the banquet in Tao's honor?

Yes. It's all done.

Unit 84, unit 8-4.

Locate Mercenary Tao and escort him to the main building.

Roger that!

I've been out here forever...

Huh?

Krillin!

Did we scare you?

Nah, I was just messin' with ya.

What's up? You have great timing.

I was hoping for a ride home!

Well, get in, quick!

Uh, okay... Hey!

What happened to my clothes?

Krillin! Get in the plane!

Would it have killed you to go back for my stuff?

Ugh! Watch it! If my hair frizzes, you're in trouble!

Oh! Sorry, Bulma.

Did I hear you say Goku's on his way

to the Red Ribbon compound by himself?!

Yep, that's right.

What in the world was he thinking?!

He's obviously not thinking!

You can say that again!

Heh, heh! This'll be fun!

You know Launch,

everyone else sees this as work...

But I get the feeling you're actually

looking forward to it, like a vacation.

Hey Bulma!

Am I going the right direction here? Look!

Hm...

You're on track. Just fly straight.

How much time do we have before we need to land?

Oh. I'd say about half an hour.

How's the fuel?

We'll have enough.

Well, you two make quite a team, don't ya?

When's the wedding?

Hey! Knock it off, Oolong!

Hmph. Yamcha?

Huh?

Don't think this means that I'm not

mad at you anymore.

But this is an emergency, so we can bury the hatchet for now.

But just for now!

Uh...

Aw...

Uh... Okay, Bulma.

We'll talk everything out later when we have plenty of time!

If we make it to 'later'.

Huh? Sir!

He's arrived!

Good.

Unit Number 84!

Come in! Come in 84! Do you have a visual of Mercenary Tao yet?

Yes, I see someone coming!

Huh?

Now to get those Dragon Balls!

Hey! It's not Tao! It's some kid on a cloud!

Oh, no!

Power pole extend!

Go!

I'm losing you, 84!

Can you hear me, soldier? Unit 84, what's happening?

What now?

The helicopter may have been intercepted, sir!

What?! How can that be?!

Men! Switch the views on the radar! Sir!

What've you got?

It's him!

No! How did that punk kid get in here?

The boy must have defeated Mercenary Tao!

How can that be possible?

Get that security system up and running again,

and call all available men to their posts immediately!

Yes, Commander!

Get the defense shield up right now!

You little brat! I'll get you this time!

The calculations have been completed.

Battle units! Stay alert and await further orders!

- Roger! - Do it now!

We're all set up, sir!

Then its all systems go for a little pest control!

That was close!

Nimbus cloud! We have to go faster!

Oh!

Uh-oh!

Ha ha!

Hm...

He's here!

He's fast!

Hey! Here I come!

You blasted morons!

You're all about as useful as snowshoes in summer!

Listen! Keep him outside no matter what!

I'm afraid it's too late for that, commander!

He's already in sector 12!

Attention all personnel!

Intruder Alert! Base breached in Sector 12!

Do not let him through! Destroy the trespasser on sight!

That's a direct order from Commander Red!

All men to sector 12 immediately!

That way!

I wonder where everyone went? No one seems to be here!

Ready boys? Fire!

We've been expecting you!

You missed me.

Hm...

Where is it?

How much further till we reach their base?

Don't worry, we'll see it soon enough.

We must have missed it.

Let's go back to where we started!

No, we didn't pass it up; it's too big!

Take a hint! Let's go home!

Huh?

A-ha! See that snowy mountain?

The headquarters is on the other side.

I'm sure of it!

Okay!

Hey, Bulma?

Look out the back and see if anyone is following us.

Uh... I don't see anything out there but snow.

You sure?

Oh, no... I think I see something!

What is that Bulma?

It's a shark!

Did you say shark?

Sharks don't live in snow!

It's a missile!

What?!

Now?

It's right on our tail!

I've seen this before. It's a chaser missile!

They're programmed to never give up.

Now that's persistence!

See, I told you we should've gone home!

Mommy!

Rats!

Oh! I bet that's it...

That's how it works...

What do you mean?

Okay, I think it's activated by a heat source.

So, what do we do?

Get rid of the booster jet.

See, it only chases the source of the heat.

It's a bit unsophisticated by modern day standards.

Well, it still almost got us!

That's some quick thinkin' there!

Now, how about some quick kissin'?

You will never touch these lips!

Colonel Violet! Come quick!

Some kid is taking over! Colonel Violet? What're you–

No time, my boy. I have a previous engagement.

I'm sure you men can handle it.

See ya!

Hey!

Ka, Me, Ha...

Me...

Ha!

What's happening?!

You guys, he's over here!

Sir! He seems to be headed straight for Wing Number Eight!

Just as I suspected! He's after the Dragon Balls!

Commander, you should evacuate to a secure location.

I'll do no such thing!

I refuse to hide away from some little squirt of a kid!

But he was strong enough to beat Tao,

and now our soldiers are running in terror!

He's still no match for the Red Ribbon Army!

There! The Dragon Balls must be in that building!

Hey, you'd better watch where you point that thing! It hurts!

Huh? Is this kid some kind of robot?

He's made it to Wing Eight,

and we've lost half of our men already, sir!

And I don't care!

Maybe you don't believe this army is unstoppable,

but I'd bet my life on it! Hurry up!

We're going to the Eighth Wing!

Ah! I will never let him take you two away from me.

That boy will never beat me!

Commander Red, please.

The odds are against us. The kid is incredibly strong, sir.

The complex is in total chaos.

Besides, he already put our best officers out of commission

before he even came here.

Are the Dragon Balls really worth all this trouble?

Oh! I have to go higher I guess.

But where are the stairs?

Oh well.

Fool! He doesn't even

know how to work an elevator.

Somebody explain to me how the world's strongest army

could lose to this imbecile?!

Goku is closing in on his goal

of confiscating the Dragon Balls from Commander Red.

So far, the Red Ribbon forces have been

unable to withstand our hero's assault.

But for how long can Goku sustain his offensive against

these overwhelming odds?

Hopefully, long enough for Yamcha and the rest of the gang

to come to his aid!

Because if Commander Red has his way,

then Goku is about to be stopped in his tracks!

You won't want to miss round two

of this important battle, next time on Dragon Ball!

Be as brave as you can be, a childlike love of fantasy,

The world is a mystery for you and me.

A miracle, an adventure too, a single wish waits for you,

The beating of your heart will see you through.

When you think you can't go on, give it another try,

The power of your youth is strong, and as big as the sky.

Search all over the valley, the mountains and you'll see...believing in yourself sets you free!

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Liberate the “you” that you keep inside.

Come on, I'll give you romance!

Come on, I'll give you paradise!

Make your dreams come true; you'll see fantasy...magic can happen to you!

Heya! I'm Goku!

Get out of my way, get out of my way! You're a nuisance!

Bad guys like you will always end up in hell!

Grandpa said so!

Stupid kid!

I'll make sure I'll get the last Dragon Ball!

Next time on Dragon Ball:

"Commander Red Perishes!!"

Don't miss it!

Commander Red Perishes !!

Commander Red Perishes !!

"The End of Commander Red"
