Disclaimer I do not own Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z this is just a story for fun.
Gero was working on another project, when he decided to take a coffee break. Gero traveled to a lounge in one of the buildings. It was there that he overheard two soldiers talking about how command had stopped receiving communications from White and the Muscle Tower base and that a team had been sent out to investigate to see what was wrong. Gero assumed it was bad weather conditions that were interfering with the communications with Muscle Tower. Gero finished his coffee and went back to work.
A few days latter the team that had been sent to Muscle Tower had returned. They told everyone that the base was destroyed. The team then tried to retrieve Flappe, but had been chased off by the villagers and Android 8. The team had no idea how the base had gotten destroyed, but they did manage to find the remains of Major Metallitron and bring back some of it's inner parts.
Gero found a microchip in the robot remains that had it's memories recorded. Gero put the microchip into a computer and started going through it's memories. An image of a young boy with spiky black hair and wearing an orange outfit. The boy seemed to be fighting Major Metallitron and holding his own against the machine.
"What is this? Surely this must be some kind of error? There's no way a mere child could hold his own against Major Metallitron!" Thought Gero as he watched the battle on the computer screen.
The battle continued on until the boy launched some kind of energy attack. That severally damaged the machine destroying it's head. Major Metallitron didn't need his head to continue the battle. He fought the boy for several more minutes, before the child threw his body forward and smashed a hole through the machines chest, then Major Metallitron's batteries ran out of juice and the image stopped. Gero just starred at the screen. Several emotions went through. Shock, fear, anger, and the eagerness of a challenge.
"I don't know who this child is, but he could prove an interesting opponent against my inventions." Thought Gero as he went back to his workbench to develop more weapons.
In the few months that followed Gero heard news about more attacks from the mysterious boy. At one point the Red Ribbon Army had employed the aid of the legendary Mercenary Tao to deal with the child. Gero had got a brief glimpse of the assassin as he flew from the base on what appeared to be a pillar he had yanked out from one of the buildings. It had been a few days since the Tai left. Then Gero heard some commotion about something small coming in on the basses radar. Gero happened to be near the radar room, when they picked up the object. Everybody first thought it was Tao however, when they could get a visual of the object it turned out to be the child riding on a golden cloud!
"It's the child! He must have beaten Tao!" Cried a radar officer in fear.
Gero decided to lay low in his lab as the rest of the base prepared for battle. Gero fought covered underneath one of his lab benches as he listened to the sounds of battle outside. Gero heard the sound of machine guns, rockets, vehicles crashing, and screaming. After several minutes the nose seemed to die down. Gero got out from under the table and carefully exited the lab. He saw several unconscious soldiers and destroyed vehicles outside. Gero saw a pistol lying on the ground and picked it up.
Gero heard the sounds of fighting coming from deeper in the base, he made his way towards that direction. The fighting sounds seemed to be coming from the building that served as Red's personal quarters. All of a sudden there was a loud crash and Gero saw a small figure crash through the wall and land near another building. Gero recognized the figure as the child! Gero quickly found a wall to hide behind and took cover. A few seconds latter Black smashed out of the building the child had been thrown out of wearing his Battle Jacket.
"Yes the child shall meet his end at the hands of one of my inventions!" Thought Gero excitedly.
Black raised one of the Battle Jacket's hands and fired a laser at the child. The area were the child had been was reduced to a crater. Black pumped the Battle Jacket's fist in the air and cheered in victory. Gero smiled and let out a small sigh of relief. The threat was over. Then Gero heard a startled shout from Black. Gero looked up to see the child hanging onto the dome of the Battle Jacket!
"But how did he get there?!" Thought a shocked Gero.
Black tried to punch the child off with the Battle Jacket's fist, but the child jumped off and landed on the roof of a nearby building. The Battle Jacket's fist smashed through the dome and hit Black instead! Black looked wounded and furious, he made the Battle Jacket rise up into the air and made it point downwards. A port in the machines back opened up and a large missile pocked out. Gero felt his body go numb with fright as he recognized the missile. It was a powerful weapon capable of destroying the entire base!
"Lets see how you handle this!" Shouted Black as he fired the missile!
The child leaped into the air and delivered a powerful kick to the missile sending it flying back right towards Black! Gero starred in shock as the missile just barely missed Black and crashed into a mountain a few miles from the base reducing the mountain to ruble! Black looked down in fear at the child and decided to retreat. The child leaped through the air and smashed through the Battle Jacket's chest! The child landed on another roof. Black screamed as the Battle Jacket sparked and exploded!
Gero just starred in shock and anger. The entire Red Ribbon Army had been destroyed by a child! This was inconceivable! Gero then saw a small yellow plan land in the base. Gero watched as a few people came out some of them looked armed. The child went to greet them. The people referred to the child as Goku. Gero glared at them all from his hiding space.
"Enjoy this victory while you can Goku. You may have beaten the Red Ribbon Army, but I will continue their goal and avenge them. Mark my words I will have vengeance. Oh it might take a while but I'll get it." Vowed Gero as he made his way to a hanger, took a plane and escaped.
To be continued.
