"Dragon Ball: RRA - Red Ribbon Revenge"

Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Ball. I do own several characters that will appear in this
chapter. Don't want to give anything away, though...

Chapter 1: Gero's Plot

A year has passed since the destruction of the Red Ribbon Army at the
hands of clueless 12-year old Goku. Dr. Gero's Android #9 had failed and he was
now hard at work over Android #10. But, that could wait for later, as Dr. Gero was
more concerned over changing that first sentance.

Dr. Gero sat at the head of a long table. Also at the table were the only people
left from the Red Ribbon Army with the guts to do what Gero had planned. (those who
refused met with "accidents") There were Generals Copper, Indigo, Gold, and Pink, and
Colonels Violet, Lavender, and Cerulean. Dr. Gero explained, "Welcome to the world's
greatest criminal organization, the New Red Ribbon Army. The old army was an unorganized
group of idiots who only managed to gather TWO of the seven Dragon Balls before getting
themselves killed by a retarded child with a monkey tail! We will not make the best mistake!"

Everyone at the table cheered, except for General Indigo. Indigo was a rugged, blue-haired
sailor. He shouted at Dr. Gero, "Ha! The great Mercenary Tao couldn't even defeat that child!
How can the Red Ribbon Army stand a chance without an army? No tanks, no soldiers. The Red
Ribbon is dead! Get used to it, old man!"

Nobody saw it happen. The second Indigo stopped talking, he dropped dead on the table. They
looked over at Dr. Gero and saw his hand was covered in blood - and he held Indigo's necklace
in his hand. The Generals and Colonels were speachless - how can a crazy old man be so fast and
strong? Dr. Gero cracked his knuckles as he spoke, "Indigo was an example of what this 'old
man' is capable of - and why you should all be good boys and girls and not complain! And, even
though Indigo couldn't stay around to hear the answer to his question, soldiers are a waste of time
and money. I will pull together a small group of troops for each of you, though. Any other questions?"
No body spoke for the rest of the breifing. The memory of Indigo was fresh on their minds.
***************************************************************************************************

Far from the New Red Ribbon Army's outpost, the boy known as Son Goku ran across the plains.
His training assignment from Master Roshi was to run around the world for the next two years
without using his Flying Nimbus Cloud. He had to become stronger so he could win the next World
Martial Arts Tournament. Last time, he was beaten in the final round by an old master known as
Jackie Chun who bore an odd resemblence to the Turtle Hermit.

It was starting to get dark, and Goku was starting to get tired. He then saw a nice tree several
meters from him. He laid down at the foot of a tree and remarked, "Nice and comfy - and some apples
for a snack!" The boy fell asleep. He was awoken several hours later by a loud noise. Goku opened his eyes
and found himself staring at the face of a tyranosaurous. Goku yelled and rolled out of the way as the
giant carnivore's mouth scooped up not only the tree, but also the patch of ground it was on.

Son Goku commented, "Good! I was starting to get hungry!" as he leaped toward the behemoth. Suddenly,
the Rex slapped Goku with its tail and he fell towards a rock. Goku bounced off it, yelling, "That was a
cheap trick!" The 12-year old propelled himself through the dinosaur's heart. It collapsed, dead as Commander
Red. Goku was disgusted at his blood-soaked clothes and decided to wash off in a river. As he was about to
leave, he saw a slimy ball roll from the Rex's mouth. He ignored it until he saw it glow.Goku curiously wiped
the slime off the ball. He saw an orange orb with two stars. A Dragon Ball. He put it in his bag, knowing that he
might need the Dragon Balls' power again someday. That made two Dragon Balls. He had nabbed his deceased grandfather's
heirloom 4-star Dragon Ball at the end of his last adventure.

So, Goku washed up and began eating his dinosaur, unaware that halfway across the world, an organization
was planning to kill him.


Next Time in Chapter 2: "Digging For Gold" - Goku continues his journey across the world and stumbles upon the
area where General Gold of the New Red Ribbon Army is searching for one of the seven Dragon Balls. Can Goku
defeat this snobby rich dude? Do I even have to ask?
