Last time on Dragon Ball...

Goku paid a visit

to the Red Ribbon Army Headquarters,

in hope of acquiring two Dragon Balls.

One after another, soldiers fell

like dominos as our hero fought his way through

the evil stronghold.

The firepower of the enemy was intense,

but Goku was determined to succeed.

He knew the only way to fulfill his promise of reviving

Upa's slain father, was to claim all Seven Dragon Balls

and summon the power of the Eternal Dragon.

A noble task, but one filled with peril as he headed

for a showdown against Commander Red.

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

Commander Red Perishes !!

Commander Red Perishes !!

"The End of Commander Red"

You punk!

You're goin' down!

Hm?

We did it!

He's toast.

That wasn't very nice.

Forget the hazard pay! I'm outta here!

Hm?

Idiots! Hundreds of trained professionals

and they can't even handle one child!

But sir, the kid does display

extraordinary powers.

I can see that. I'm only missing one eye.

I don't need you to point out the obvious, you imbecile!

Uh, yes, sir.

If you had trained those men properly

in the first place, we wouldn't be having this problem.

Honestly, I should have never listened to your sister!

My apologies, sir.

Hm.

They're right above me.

Maybe I should get a helmet.

You may be strong as an ox,

but you're dumb as one too!

The ceiling is reinforced with a special alloy.

No one can break through it, not even you!

Just look at that brat.

Now is the perfect time to wipe him out!

Isn't there one soldier in this entire Army

that can rid me of this menace?!

Colonel Violet! I knew you wouldn't let me down.

She is a perfect example of the caliber of soldier

we need in this army! Proactive, dependable and loyal.

Hm. Looks like the Ribbon has finally been cut.

Huh? Hello, Colonel Violet, what are you doing?

The kid's not in that room, he's further down!

Sir, she's headed for the safe!

Why that double-crossing two-timer!

She's proactive all right, at giving herself a raise.

Commander, wait! Where are you going?

I can't let you leave this room. It's not secure.

The contents of that safe represent

years of hard work and it belongs to me!

Sir, our most valuable possessions

are still secure: the Dragon Balls. Forget the safe.

No, no, no, no, no! Don't you lecture me!

I'm the leader around here, got it?!

It's a shame everything in life can't be this easy.

Consider this my severance package.

You won't get away with this!

You little jackal! If that's the way

you want it, fine. But you can forget me as a reference!

Commander, it looks as though

the rest of the soldiers are evacuating as well.

What?!

This isn't a democracy! Get them back here!

Attention all personnel.

No evacuation orders have been given.

Return to your posts at once.

Failure to comply will be met with terminal force.

Traitors! Every last one of them, worthless.

Commander, it is my duty to appraise you

of our situation. And right now we are outmatched.

The boy is too powerful.

Please sir, we should get out of here while there's still time.

Retreat from a child?!

Never... You overestimate his chances.

You mean you're going to fight him?

No, of course not... You are.

I will ready our next plan...

You will remain here and protect our interests.

I have full confidence in your ability to resolve this matter.

But, Commander, I–

No more excuses! You will follow my orders!

You will destroy the child. Is that clear?!

Clear. Crystal, sir.

Fight well, soldier, and remember,

the honor of the Red Ribbon Army

rests squarely on your shoulder.

Hm...

Finally.

Are you the person in charge?

No, I'm not the Commander.

Where is he?

He's safe. Now stop talking. You will deal with me.

Wait. I don't wanna fight you.

Just hand over the Dragon Balls.

If you want to see the Commander so badly,

I'll take you to him...

...in pieces.

Blast, the luck of that child!

But this will finish him!

This is getting us nowhere. I'll give you one more chance.

Hand over the Dragon Balls and surrender.

No.

Okay, but let's finish this soon. I'm ready for lunch.

So long! This is where we say goodbye!

I live for moments like this!

Commander...

How could you betray me like this?

I don't really see this as losing a foe,

but gaining four Dragon Balls!

Just one more ball... Then at last...

My dream to be tall as a mountain will come true!

Soon no one will ever be able to look down

at Commander Red again.

I will become ruler of all I can see.

And my eyes shall tower over the heavens!

Commander Red!

Huh?

What did you mean by that?

You! You're still–

Alive? Yes, Commander,

sorry to disappoint you. And I heard every word you said.

Do you mean all of this was so that

you could gain a few inches?!

You bet! And what's wrong with that?!

It's a selfish goal.

It has nothing to do with the Red Ribbon Army!

It has everything to do with this Army

and my plans for the organization.

These Dragon Balls are the tools I need to make

this Army and myself huge!

It would be a grave mistake to underestimate my plan.

Your lame plan's going to get us all killed!

I am the Red Ribbon Army! What's good for me

is good for everyone and I want to be taller!

All my life I've drawn the short straw.

I've had to contend with being a mere pebble

in a land of giants! It is the curse of my existence.

You couldn't possibly understand what it's like.

The nightmare of being a genius,

yet trapped inside this ugly little body!

I understand that loyalty means nothing to you.

You sold me out for your vanity!

What's really eating you is there's no commander

in front of your name, and there never will be!

Do you want to know why? Because you're small-time.

You're just a lackey, my errand boy.

At your age it's pathetic!

Looks like I've been promoted...

You squandered your power, but I will lead the Army

into a new era of greatness.

My first order of business will be to rule this planet.

Thank goodness you're alive!

Yes, I am. Now, let's finish this.

Listen, I'm sorry. But I don't want to fight you anymore.

I'm a victim just like you.

If that's really true,

why are you pointing a gun at me?

You scared me, that's all.

Why are you being so nice to me now?

I told the Commander not to hurt you,

so he decided to punish me as well.

You fought the Commander to save me?

He knows I don't like to fight children,

so he told me you were here to hurt him.

When I learned you only wanted the Dragon Balls,

he tried to kill me to cover up his lie.

Well, why is he on the floor? Is he asleep?

Yes, he said he was feeling ill,

so he had to lay down. Bad headache.

If we're not fighting anymore then do you mind

if I take the Dragon Balls?

I'm afraid the Commander

would miss them when he wakes up.

Say, why don't we join forces and collect them together?

But the Dragon will only grant a wish to one of us.

I understand your concern.

But you have nothing to worry about.

The Red Ribbon Army has no interest in the wish.

We have everything we could possibly want.

The wish is yours.

All we want is to see the seven Balls reunited.

See, the Commander, he has a soft spot for Dragons.

No thanks. I don't believe you.

Besides, I promised Upa I'd help bring his father back

and you're the reason he got hurt in the first place.

My deepest apology if there's been

some misunderstanding. I'll report this to our

Customer Service Department immediately...

Give us another chance. That's all I'm asking.

Hand me your Dragon Balls and we can be partners.

Wouldn't that be fun?

I can't trust you.

I don't think you really care about me or my friends.

I think you just want my Dragon Balls.

That kid is like a machine!

Maybe that's the answer.

You're a tough kid all right,

but you slam into a wall just like anyone else.

With your destruction,

there will be no one to challenge my power!

Looks like we're almost there.

It's about time. I have a feeling Goku's

gonna need our help.

Don't worry, Krillin.

If there's one thing I'm sure of,

it's that Goku can take care of himself.

No matter how tough he is,

he still has to fight an entire army.

Mm-hm. Oolong has a point, Puar.

As skillful as he is, Goku is still outnumbered,

and the Red Ribbon Army has quite an arsenal

at their disposal.

Would you guys stop it already!

If you can't think of anything positive to say,

then shut up!

The good news is he has all of us to help him out,

especially Master Roshi.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I'm sure we'll be fine.

Yes, think positive.

It's easy to beat your enemies if you focus hard.

Mm-hm. Especially if you pretend they aren't

wearing any clothes.

Everyone be quiet!

Save the cheering for after the battle.

Uh-oh.

What's wrong?

We're not alone. Something's heading straight for us.

It could be a Red Ribbon fighter-plane.

Maybe they know we're coming.

That's not good.

Well, that's typical.

I took this route to avoid traffic.

I doubt it's one of the Commander's,

but I'd better stay out-of-sight.

What do we do?!

Hold on, I'm thinking!

Bad news.

This plane is equipped for speed, not fighting.

We don't have any weapons!

Let 'em come.

I've got all the firepower we need right here.

I'll feed 'em a lead buffet.

Whoa! Save your fire for the bad guys!

There'll be plenty of action

once we get to where we're going.

But if we start some half-cocked fight right now,

we may never get there! And that wouldn't help Goku.

He's right. We don't know who they are.

Let's just stay out of sight until they pass.

Good enough. Hopefully I can take us down

low enough to stay out of their radar.

This is perfect. If I can descend low enough,

I'll slide right under their nose without being seen.

Violet, you're a genius!

They've dropped in altitude!

They're heading straight for us!

They've matched my position. They must be after me.

This doesn't look good, guys. They obviously know we're here.

We should fly back up and hide in the clouds.

That sounds good to me.

Now I'm officially freaked out.

These guys must be packing some serious hardware.

They've been able to track every move.

They did it again!

They're toying with me! Well, fine!

You wanna play games, be my guest.

I'll give you something to chase!

Looks clear. I think we lost them.

Did you get the license number?

Boy, I sure am glad that's over.

Next time, we drive.

Hey! Who turned out the lights?!

Let me go! Let me go!

It's time to throw out the trash!

That was easy!

We shouldn't rely on contract labor.

Now then, which one of these features

haven't I tried yet... Oh, a big red button.

That looks interesting.

Goodnight, kid.

Goku finds himself at the mercy of a madman.

Will his friends arrive in time to save him?

And what will become of the Dragon Balls?

The answers to these puzzling questions and much more

will be revealed 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!

Hurry, hurry! If we're not fast Son-kun is going to be done in!

Wait for us, Goku! We're coming to save you right now!

Wow! That weird robot is ridiculously strong!

But I need those Dragon Balls!

Okay, Upa! We're going to bring your father back to life!
