Chapter 5: "A Familiar Tail"
Goku ran through the wilderness, following the signal from the Dragon Radar.
"I should be getting close," he commented as he approached the Red Ribbon HQ.
At least, he thought it was the Army's new headquarters. Goku thought for sure
that he wiped out the criminals for good a year ago. It was possible that some
of them survived and now had reformed. Or, these were new guys that are pretending
to be the Red Ribbon. Goku would find out soon. He needed to recover his Grampa's
four-star Dragon Ball - again. Goku's instincts told him this would not be easy.
***
A bruised General Rainbow presented Dr. Gero with the two-star Dragon Ball. He
refused to disclose how he got so beat up. But Gero was seriously miffed. "Your
mission was only halfway accomplished! You were supposed to get the last two balls!"
Rainbow was silent.
One of the technicians reported, "Doctor! The last Dragon Ball is approaching at a
rapid rate!"
Dr. Gero's eyes widened. "There's only one person that foolish - the brat, Son Goku!"
A smirk spread across the mad scientist's face. "I didn't expect him to catch on so
fast. He's delivering the last Dragon Ball to me!"
The technician asked, "Should I prepare the Defense System?"
Gero had considered this. He spoke, "Activate Defense Systems 589-607. And deploy Air
Units 235-671."
The technician replied, "Sir, that surely won't be enough to stop that kid." Gero's eyes
narrowed. The technician immediately dropped dead.
Gero commented, "Its been so hard to find good technicians since Pink was promoted. I'll
have to do this myself." Gero approached the extremely complicated computer. A fraction
of a second later, all necassary security codes had been entered. Gero cracked his fingers
and waited.
***
Goku emerged from the large forest and saw a mountain beside the ocean. Atop that
mountain sat a large tower with the Red Ribbon Emblem on it. Goku was sure of it. The Red
Ribbon Army was alive and well. As he approached, he avoided many traps similar to those he
encountered during his first charge, and a few new ones.
Then, he found himself surrounded by helijets. He cut through them easily and saw a balcony
with an open foor on it. He leaped onto the balcony and commented, "This is easier then last
time - and I'm not even using my Flying Nimbus!" Goku entered a large dark room. All doors and
windows automatically sealed shut. Goku heard laughing and asked, "Who's there?"
"Why, it is I!" The man said. Goku instinctivly ducked under the sword's slash. The man bearing
the sword continued, "Ninja Murasaki!" as he leaped away from Goku.
Goku yelled, "I remember you!" As he charged the villain. Suddenly, a roundhouse kick came from
nowhere and caught Goku full in the stomach.
Goku caught his breath as the kicker laughed, "O ho ho ho! You are no match for I, the great
General Blue!"
Goku lunged at Blue, but another man jumped in the way and punched Goku in the face. The
man taunted, "This time, boy, you are no match for Colonel Silver!"
Goku drew his Power Pole to attack when a laser beam singed his hair. Goku swung around to see
himself facing the Battle Jacket. The pilot bragged, "Commander Black will take care of this annoying
child."
Goku flew at Black. Suddenly, to giant hands clamped around Goku and squeezed the tailless monkey.
Goku screamed in pain as the giant spoke, "Cry like the baby that you are, just as everyone does
when they lay eyes on Major Metallitron!"
Dum Dum DUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***
In the survaillance room, Dr. Gero, and Generals Copper and Pink watched Goku as Metallitron crushed
him. Dr. Gero laughed, "Mwahaha!!!! That brat can't even beat the strongest warriors of the Old Red
Ribbon!"
Rainbow, Pink, and Copper were bug-eyed. Copper spoke, "B-but those people - they're dead!"
Gero smiled as he replied, "That's because Goku is in the simulation room."
Pink asked, "So he's fighting training sims?"
"Yes - but I've set their levels to max, and their settings to kill." The mad doctor then bursted out
with maniacal laughter.
***
Metallitron continued to crush Goku. "Now, I will finish you," the Major spoke as he tightened his grip.
Major Metallitron gaped at Goku and charged his missile. Suddenly, a long brown object shot out from nowhere
and impaled the giant's eye. He screamed in pain and dropped the boy.
Goku observed, "Hey! My tail grew back!"
General Blue looked Goku in the eyes as his flashed. Goku didn't move. Blue laughed, "Stiff as a statue,"
as Silver and Murasaki charged Goku. Murasaki slashed at the boy with his sword as Silver kicked at him.
Both attacks went straight through Goku.
Murasaki and Silver both froze. "What?"
Metallitron smashed his fist down over Goku as a laser beam from Black's Battle Jacket went through him.
Goku was still in the same fighting stance he was in when Blue froze him, except he was a bit staticy.
Murasaki wondered, "Could it be? The after image?"
Immediately, the villains heard a familiar voice speak, "Power Pole....Extend!" The mystical shaft tore through
Blue's heart. He instantly dissolved.
Murasaki and Silver charged Goku from one side as Metallitron fired a heat-seeking missile at Goku from the
other side. Goku stood still. The missile went through Goku and followed Murasaki and Silver. The duo screamed
and fled.
The missile eventually gored them (they dissolved as well) and the missile flew outside. The real Goku flew
towards Black. The mad dictator fired his own heat-seeker at Goku. Goku leaped over the missile and kicked it
at Metallitron. The giant yelped in pain as he too dissolved into thin air.
***
Copper exclaimed, "The boy's winning! How will you stop him?"
Dr. Gero pointed to a sealed hatch. "Well, if by some miracle Son Goku wins, he'll be up against...this!" the
mad scientist pressed a button. A figure emerged from the hatch.
Rainbow gasped, "But you're dead!" Recovering from the blow, he added, "You're actually very handsome." A second
later, a tongue tore through Rainbow's forehead. The general dropped dead as the man licked his lips. Copper
and Pink shrunk into the corner, frightened.
Flames roared in the man's eyes as he asked, "Where is the boy?"
***
(play Dragon Ball theme)Goku leaped at Black and punched him out of the Battle Jacket. The child pummeled
the tall black man and knocked him into the the wall. (End theme)
Black climbed into the Battle Jacket and prepared his Ultimate Top Secret Weapon. Suddenly, Metallitron's
missile returned and hit the Battle Jacket. Black screamed in horror as he dissolved.
Goku entered the next room. It was an empty fighting arena. Goku wondered, "Where'd everyone go?"
Suddenly, a fist caught Goku in the face and knocked him into a wall. Goku looked up to see...
"Mercanary Tao? I thought I killed you!" Steam came out of Tao's ears. The assassin charged at
Goku.
Next time on Dragon Ball: Goku has beaten Mercenary Tao, but can he repeat this task? Tao
is much more powerful then ever, and has a much larger book of tricks then last time. Does
Goku stand a chance against the new and improved hitman? Or will Dr. Gero rule the world?
