Prologue: The Ribbon is Cut
Red Ribbon Headquarters
May 12th, 750 A.D.
Deep in the bowels of the headquarters that is home to the
most evil criminal organization in the world, the sinister scientist
Dr. Gero worked in his hidden laboratory. He was looking over the plans
for Android #9 as he sipped some noodles up. The Red Ribbon Army
had rushed him in his Android #8 project, and as a result, the mechanical
man grew a concience and helped that brat destroy the Muscle Tower.
Gero did his reaserch on this brat and discovered
that the 12-year old boy who had decimated Silver,
White, Blue, and Yellow of the world's greatest criminal
organization, was known as Son Goku. Not only had
he scored second place in the last World Martial Arts
Tournamant, but he had also trained under the legendary Turtle Hermit,
Master Roshi. After he had reported that to that midget,
Commander Red, they both agreed that Mercenary Tao,
the world's greatest assassin and disciple of the Crane
Master, would be fit to carry out the job. They seemed
to be correct, as the army's Dragon Radar detected that
Tao was returning to the headquarters with Goku's four
Dragon Balls.
Ah yes, the Dragon Balls. Seven magical orbs that, once
gathered together, would summon Shenron, the Eternal
Dragon, to grant its summoner one wish, no matter what it
might be. Dr. Gero learned about their powers on the computer
and told the army about it last month. Red was anxious to
get them for his own desires. But, Dr. Gero had his own
plans for the seven magical Dragon Balls.
Suddenly, alarms began spreading throughout the base. The
worried face of Commander Red appeared on the vidphone.
The redheaded midget explained, "That wasn't Tao on our
radar! It was the kid! He's come to steal my two precious
Balls!" (Sorry, I couldn't resist)
Dr. Gero replied, "Take care of it yourself! You are the
leader of the most feared criminal organization!" He broke
up the connection, knowing that that would be the last time
he saw that one-eyed midget in his entire life. He opened a
secret trap door and walked down the staircase to his secret
harbor that no one knew about. He drove down the river in his
Capsule Jet Boat. The river would take Gero straight to his hidden
laboratory in the mountains near North City, bringing only his
blueprints and most prized experiments.
*******************************************************
Commander Red watched the cameras in horror as the boy
got closer to the room holding Red's Dragon Balls, which was
occupied only by Commander Red, and Staff Officer Black. Black
continued to insist that the Commander retreat or surrender, but
Red would not let the Red Ribbon Army fall before a mere child.
The soldiers had begun to retreat. Red checked the cameras for
someone who had not yet retreated. Finally, he spotted a figure
running in the direction of Goku.
Commander Red recited, "Ah, Colonel Violet! She's the caliber of soldier
we need in this army: proactive, dependant, and loyal!"
Violet was the army's only female officer who worked for General
Copper (Who was out searching for the last Dragon Ball) and had hair to
match her name. She observed, "Looks like the Ribbon's finally been cut," as she
entered a room.
Red was puzzled as he watched. "What's she doing? The kid's further
down the hall!"
Staff Officer Black, Red's tall, bald, dark-skinned second-in-command
exclaimed, "She's after the safe!"
"That two-timer!"
"She's proactive, alright! And she's giving herself a raise!"
An angry Red yelled, "That's the result of years of hard work and is
irreplaceable!"
He got up and ran to the elevator, but Black warned
him, "Sir, Forget the safe. We still have our most valuable possessions right here."
He signaled to the Dragon Balls.
Red hopped on top of a table and yelled, "Don't you lecture me! I'm the leader of
this organization!"
Colonel Violet spat out a wad of sticky bubble gum and used it to attach a detonator
to the safe door. She fleed the room as the safe exploded. Violet re-entered the room
and found the safe filled with so much money it would take getting first place in 100
World Martial Arts Tournaments to earn that much money. She commented, "It's a shame
everything in life can't be this easy." She then winked at the camera and added, "Consider
this my severance fee." She then activated a capsule that formed a Jet. She loaded as much
of the fortune as she could into it and flew away.
Red was now even angrier as he threatened Violet, even though she was long gone. Staff
Officer Black then observed, "The remaining troops have begun an evacuation."
Red's was so angry that his face was as red as his name suggested. "This is not a democracy!
Order them to get back now!"
Black spoke over the loudspeaker, "There were no evacuation orders. All troops, return to base
immediately or you will be met with terminal force!" The soldiers ignored Black. The sky was littered
with jets.
Red spewed out, "Traitors! Every one of you! You're a disgrace to the name of Red!"
Black explained, "We're outnumbered! The boy is too powerful! We must get to safety!"
"The Red Ribbon Army will never retreat from a mere boy!"
Black asked, "You'll fight him?"
Red replied bluntly, "No. You will. I will ready our new plan. Destroy the kid.
I have full confidence in your ability to accomplish this. Is this clear?"
"Clear."
Red grabbed the two Dragon Balls (snigger) and entered the elevator. "Fight well, soldier."
The elevator closed and took Red to a survaillance room on the top of the tower in
the East Wing.
***********************************************************************
Goku reached the top floor minutes later and faced off with Black. The
Staff Officer was good, but obviously was no match for the kid. So, Red
made the ceiling collapse on Goku and Black.
Red then returned to the room where Goku and Black met their ends
and gloated something like this. "Yes! Once I get the last Dragon Ball, I will be
wish to be as tall as a mountain! No one will look down to me again. I will be able to rule
over all I can see and my eyes will tower over the heavens!"
Black, who had survived by jumping out the window climbed in and spat out,
"What did you mean, Commander?"
Red was shocked. "Black, you're--"
"Alive, yes. I heard everything. All of those lives were taken and the army was disbanded
just so you can gain a few inches?"
"You bet! Do you have a problem, Staff Officer?"
"But this is a surface goal! It has nothing to do with the army's status!"
"It has everything to do with the army! What's good for me is good for the army!"
Black was disgusted. "Whatever happened to World Domination?"
Red yelled, "We'll get to that. But a leader of the world must be handsome and
charming! I've been teased about my size since I was a little boy!"
"You sold me out for your vanity! You tried to kill me!"
Red shot back, "You tall people don't understand! I think you're just mad that there's
no 'Commander' in front of your name! You're just a lackey. My underling. You're just the
bald, stupid, tall Staff Officer Black!" A second later, Commander Red collapsed with a hole
in his head. His two Balls rolled over to Black's feet (chuckle).
Black put down his smoking gun and announced, "That's Commander Black to you."
**************************************************************************
Dr. Gero had some entertainment during the ride to his lab. His
experimental DNA Collector was sent to the RRA headquarters and recorded as
Goku survived Red's cowardly manuever and fought Commander
Black in he Red Ribbon Army's Battle Jacket (which was, like most of the
Red Ribbon technology, manufactured by Dr. Gero). Black was killed. The world's
greatest criminal organization had been destroyed by a 12-year old boy who can't
even operate an elevator.
Goku soon gathered all seven of the Dragon Balls and used them to revive his
friend, Bora, who had been killed by Mercenary Tao. Goku then prepared for
the next World Martial Arts Tournamant (which is three years from now) by
running across the world. But, during that time, Gero plotted revenge against
the boy who ruined his chances for World Domination..........
