Chapter 2: "Digging For Gold"
In the middle of one hot, sweaty desert, General Gold lounged in his lawn chair as he sipped
on a martini and read a manga. He was dressed in a fancy gold tuxedo. He had gold rings on every
finger and toe, bracelets on both arms, and a priceless gold necklace around his neck. He also had
noserings, tongue rings, earrings and rings in places best not dwelled upon. Gero had assigned Gold
six men. Only four of them were digging in the spot where the Dragon Ball was. the other two were
fanning Gold and shining his expensive shoes. He lifted an object resembling a stopwatch. It was the
advanced miniature Dragon Radar that General Copper had saved from his time in the Old Red Ribbon
Army. Dr. Gero was currently working on duplicates of this Dragon Radar so he could send out more
then one person out at a time. He yelled to the diggers, "Keep digging, men! You're almost there!"
He turned to the fanner. "Fan faster!" He then yelled to the shoe shiner, "Hey! Can't you see that
speck of sand on my beautiful shoe?"
****************************************************************************************************
Goku ran through the desert. It had been about a week since he found the 2-star ball. Since then,
Goku decided to check his radar more often and collect any Balls that are along his path (Hee hee).
He pulled out the Dragon Radar that Turbo Norikami gave to him. His first Radar that Bulma gave to him
had been stolen by General Blue before he got beaten up by Arale. He hadn't seen him since. He checked the Radar
and remarked, "Hey! There's a Dragon Ball near here!" He veered off his course and ran in the direction
of the Dragon Ball.
*******************************************************************************************************
General Gold continued lying around, every now and then yelling at the poor soldiers. Suddenly, Gold jumped
when he heard the soldiers screaming. "That's it," Gold said as he drew his gun and approached the pit.
The General slipped and slided down the pit. Once he reached the bottom, he realized ehy they were screaming.
His feet were stuck in the sand - and he continued to sink. Gold saw the soldiers were up to their waists.
He smiled. Gold grabbed one of them and used him as a leverage to pull himself up. The man sunk all the way
to the bottom. Gold bounced off the other two soldiers and climbed up safely to the top of the pit. He saw the
fanner and shoe shiner reading his Manga and shot them both in the head.
He checked the Dragon Radar. The ball was at the bottom of the pit, all right. But, Gold didn't want to
risk his life in the quicksand pit. Maybe he shouldn't have killed those two soldiers. He pondered this and checked
the Dragon Radar. He was shocked to see two Balls were moving towards him at an amazingly fast rate. General
Gold looked up to see someone running towards him. Who could it be? Suddenly, the boy stopped before Gold. He
immediately recognized him as the boy who destroyed the Old Red Ribbon Army, Son Goku. Goku greeted, "Hi, I'm
Goku. Who are you?"
General Gold said, "Why, I'm....uh....Mr. Gold."
"Hi, Mr. Gold! What are you doing in the middle of this desert?" Goku's eyes moved over to the soldiers' bodies. He
recognized the insignia on their uniforms. "Hey! Are you with the Red Ribbon Army?"
Gold replied, "Well, you see, the Red Ribbon Army captured me and made me look for something here...and.... they tried
to kill me, but I killed them first. I'm afraid that they might send more to kill me."
"Oh. I'm looking for something, too. Its called a Dragon Ball." Gold's eyes popped open, but then an evil thought crossed
his mind.
"What a coincidence! That's what they wanted me to look for! Why don't we get the Dragon Ball together? Its
at the bottom of that pit!" He signaled to the quicksand pit. "I've got an idea. I'll tie you to a rope and lower
you into the quicksand. You just need to find the Dragon Ball, and I'll pull you back up."
"That sounds like a good idea, but what do you want with the Dragon Balls? You don't need to worry about the
Red Ribbon Army while I'm protecting you."
Gold lied, "I'll wish for World Peace or something like that."
Goku was puzzled. "What would you need a piece of the world for? Oh well, I guess I can trust you."
Several moments later, General Gold and Son Goku stood beside the pit. Goku had one end of the rope tied around him,
and the other half was tied to a giant rock. Gold explained "I'll lower you into this quicksand. Find the Dragon Ball, grab it
and then pull on the rope twice."
Goku replied, "Okay, but what's a kick sand?"
Gold thought to himself, *This retart singlehandedly destroyed the Old Red Ribbon Army?* . To Goku he said, "Quicksand
is like water, but its made out of sand. Now get down there!" He kicked Goku into the pit and smirked. *Promotion, here
I come. Don't see why Gero would make a big commotion out of some shrimpy idiot.*
******************************************************************************************************************************************
Goku was sucked into the deep pool of quicksand. He held his breath as he fell through the deep pit. Soon, he was no longer
in a pool of quicksand. The sand dumped down a 1000-foot drop to an underground river. Luckily, the rope had reached its
full suspension and prevented Goku from tumbling to his doom. Son Goku's acute vision detected men in fatigues lying sprawled
near the river banks. "I wonder why they're sleeping down there. Maybe this is their home. I could worry about that later. Right
now i need to find that Dragon Ball. Goku looked up and saw the Dragon Ball. It was on a branch growing on the side of the cave's
far wall. "There it is! But how could I get to it? That's it!" He swung around on his rope until he reached the cave wall opposite to the
wall holding the Dragon Ball. Goku bounced off the wall and swung safely to the branch. He grabbed the Dragon Ball and pulled on
the rope twice like Gold instructed him.
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
At the surface, General Gold danced in joy when the rope tremored twice. Soon, he'd have one more Dragon Ball and one less enemy.
Then he grunted as he realized that there was no one else there to pull the boy up. So he grabbed the rope and pulled on it.
Eventually, a grimy Son Goku emerged from the quicksand.
But, the rope stopped once Goku was only halfway up the pit. Goku asked, "Why did you stop, Mr. Gold? I got the Dragon Ball!"
Gold replied, "Well, when I pull you up to the top of the pit you're going to need two hands to pull yourself up, why don't you
toss me the hard-earned Dragon Ball?"
Goku agreed, "Yeah, sure. Why not?" He tossed the Dragon Ball to Gold. He caught it and marveled at the three stars on it. He then took out his pocket knife. Goku asked, "What's wrong? Wh aren't you pullng me up, Mr. Gold?"
Gold flashed the knife over the pit and corrected, "You mean General Gold, brat. On behalf of the Red Ribbon Army, I thank you for the Dragon Ball and wish you a happy trip." Gold cut the rope, and Goku fell into the quicksand screaming.
With no rope to help him, Goku fell to his doom. Sudenly, Son remembered, "That's right!" He unsheathed his staff, known
as the mystical extending Power Pole. He held it in front of him and yelled, "Power Pole - Extend!" The bottom of the Power Pole
stretched downward until it planted itself in the ground. The top then extended upward and carried Goku through the quicksand.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************
Gold began packing his supplies into the truck for his return to Gold Camp. He was about to radio headquarters when a tidal
wave of sand spewed out of the pit. Gold wondered, "What's happening?" When the sand disappeare, in its place was a tall staff.
Hanging from that very staff was Son Goku. General Gold was speachless. Goku yelled, "Power Pole - Retract!" The Power Pole returned
to normal as Goku landed before Gold and aimed the Power Pole at him. *Impossible!* Gold thought to himself. *I'll have to kill him
myself.*. General Gold smirked.
Goku asked, "Do you surrender? Or do you want to fight?"
General Gold reached into his pocket and pulled out a 1,000,000-zeni coin. He flipped it towards Goku and asked,
"Penny for your thoughts?" Goku shifted his head over as the coin flew past. It landed on a rock and exploded. Gold's
jaw dropped. *Everyone that knows the value of money falls for the 1,000,000-zeni bomb trick! Either he's smarter then I
thought, or even stupider.* Goku charged at Gold, screaming. General Gold drew his pistol and fired madly at Son Goku
with his eyes closed. When he opened his eyes, the brat was gone. "I did it! Ding Dong - the kid is dead! Sayonara, Son
Goku!"
Gold froze as he heard a very familiar voice yelling, "Yoo hoo!" Gold turned around and saw a grinning Son Goku.
He opened his hands and dropped the bullets Gold had shot at him on the floor. Gold sat like a statue as Goku's
expression turned serious an he yelled, "Scissors...Paper...." Goku made a fist as he finished, "...Rock Punch!" He punched
Gold hard in the stomach. He skidded across the sand and tumbled into the pit. The quicksand sucked him up quickly.
Side Note: The Fist of the Rock, Paper, and Scissors is Goku's first signature technique that he uses. In this Rock=normal punch,
Paper=open-handed punch, and Scissors=poke in the eyes. He first uses it during his first battle with Yamcha. this technique
is edited of the American Edited Version.
Goku grabbed his bag and continued his journey across the world.
********************************************************************************************************************************************
At Red Ribbon headquarters, Dr. Gero was interviewing people to replace General Indigo. Soon, there was only one person
left. Gero was desperate to find seven underlings (four generals and three colonels) to gather the seven Dragon Balls quickly. So,
he had to pick this last one.
A man entered Gero's office. He wore a flamboyant suit and sported a colorful afro. "Hi. I'm Rainbow. I like your long, grey hair"
Gero said, "Uhhh......yeah. How would you like to join the New Red Ribbon Army in our quest for the seven Dragon Balls and
world domination? Normally, you'd start ou as a lowly soldier, but this is your chance to skip ahead to the high rank of General."
Rainbow anounced, "Twisted and evil. I like that in a man, but I usually don't date older men."
Gero yelled, "QUIT HITTING ON ME, YOU RAGING HOMOSEXUAL!!!!!" He then regained control and calmed down. "Do you want to be
a General or not?"
"Why, of course! My cousin Blue was a General. But he died before I could admit my feelings for him." Gero was speachless. "I wanted
to give him some time, since he was still getting over Samuel."
"Who's that?" Gero managed to ask.
"Why he's Blue's younger brother."
Gero was repulsed. He then rememberd one of the few reasons Blue became a general: his telekinetic powers. "D-do you have telekinetic
powers mike your cousin Blue?"
"Why, of course!" The gay man replied. "Blue taught me hmself!"
"Y-you're excepted into the New Red Ribbon Army, General Rainbow.
Next time in Dragon Ball - Dr. Gero discovers that Goku has found three of the Dragon Balls and deploys Colonels
Violet, Lavender, and Cerulean to stop him. Are the three female Colonels too much for our young hero? Find out
next time on Dragon Ball Chapter 3: Copper's Colonels.
