Kakarrot could already tell he was going to hate this little chitchat. The attendants in the plane practically forced him to get dressed. He was now in his little tan soldier's uniform. It made him sick to his core.

Now before it had been an annoyance but now, he saw it for what it really was. A collar and a sort of leash, same as the gi Shen made him wear. A way to say whose property is whose. Thankfully the hat wouldn't stay on as impractical nature hair has its uses after all.

Kakarrot actually found himself preferring the last few boring times on a plane then this shit. It wasn't even military some sort of jet made for a few people rather than a ton. It was all way different then the jetcopter's or big jetplane he had already been in. This was Red's private jet or something, based on all the statues and pictures. Maybe he thought he was wooing him or something. It did work he was just angrier

Red was clearly desperate for his help and Kakarrot couldn't help wondering why? The Royal army was nowhere near Headquarters. By the sound of what those flea-bitten mass of refuges had said the Ribbons were on the attack virtually everywhere. Surely, they weren't winning but they weren't being pushed back. What could be so important that they would need him specifically?

When they landed, he was practically carried off the plane by the attendants. He could have easily wrestled himself free of their grasps and given them all a good black eye to teach them a lesson. But instead he got free and made them tell him were they were planning on taking him.

They were taking him to Red's office, the throne room. He decided to take the long way hoping that his burning angry would subside.

The landing strip wasn't that far from the main building but since this place at times, felt like a maze even, knowing where you were going. A wrong turn or two could easily make this take a lot longer. So, he took a wrong way or two he, but his mood didn't improve.

If anything, it was more time to getting furious about the lack of sense that Red had shown about his magic balls, stupid moves, and petty bullshit. But as luck would have it though his little walk did bare some fruit.

In the hallways Kakarrot ran into Copper the general who seemed to have the most distrust in him and well everybody else for that matter. In Copper's hands were some papers probably some battle plans and such.

Copper was annoying but unlike the others he had the good sense to be useful which was more than Kakarrot could say about most of his fellows so at least he had what respect that Kakarrot could muster.

Kakarrot snidely asked "Do I still have to salute you sir or not?"

"It's still sir and I'm still a general kid. Red has just lost some sense it will come back to him soon once the girl's been dealt with and the Doctor is back in our hands."

Kakarrot right eye jumped up in curiosity "What girl?"

Copper chuckled "Crazy nonsense something about a yellow cloud and a magic stick. She apparently beat Silver, White and even Eight."

Kakarrot fists tightened "Eight?"

"Well to be fair as I understand it Eight well sort of went traitor. After Gero's capture Red sent him to White. Murasaki sent us an update before well he meet his end."

Kakarrot smiling "So Cheech wiped out Brown's best and Northern corp."

Copper surprised "What? Wait you know this girl?"

"I do General, I do. Tell me did she bring any of her friend?"

Copper nearly laughing "No, they say she was by herself."

Kakarrot smirking "Figures. She never disappoints. It would have been just hilarious to see the look on that boxer and that drunk's stupid face when they lost to her. They were both leagues below her, they didn't stand a snowballs chance in hell against her."

Now far more nervous "So, one girl did do all of that!?"

"Don't seem so surprised Copper you're looking at someone who could have done that himself. Now this day just got a hell of a lot more interesting." With that Kakarrot began marching again until he came running back to Copper. "When the shit goes down, I hope you know whose side to pick."

Kakarrot left the General to think as he continued to Red's office. The bodyguards were there in front of Red's big as door in their pin stripe pants and well-tailored suits and RRA arm bands. They almost passed for butlers but for the fact they had pistols and black sunglasses.

The doors slowly opened. Red did at least have a sense of showmanship and style after all. The room and a sort of walkway with a red carpet leading to his desk. It opened to reveal Red in his chair behind his desk as a painter was giving him another exaggerated portrait.

Apparently Red was now eight feet tall, every year the portraits seemed to jump up by a foot. Red had a bottle in front of him on his desk some sort of whiskey missing a few glasses from it.

Black was standing below being the tall scarecrow that he seemed content to be, someone else bitch. Black looked tired this must all wore on him.

There was a chair waiting for Kakarrot on the red carpet which he took. He may have wanted to get in Red's face but that won't be advisable. Especially if he wanted to find out about Grandpa.

"I assume this has to do about the girl on the cloud?"

Red cringed a bit "So you talked to Copper?"

"Maybe."

Red sneered "Figures." He paused. "He doesn't know about everything."

Kakarrot eyes jumped up in curiosity "Really what else is there?"

"Yellow's dead and so is Mercenary Tao."

"What?"

"She first attacked Captain Yellow while he was north of here collecting me a Dragon Ball near a place called Korin's tower. Then Colonel Silver was attacked, so we called in the big guns as General White fell under attack. We sent him Tao, after we told him a fake story about her being the one that killed his brother instead of you. Shit went down and he lost, no thanks to Cyborg Eight. Whatever happen must have broken her radar because she has gone to West City for repairs we think. She is now heading to Blue's location. Now we have the only two dragon balls one found by accident and the other found by Violet."

"If you want to rule the world, right?"

Red took another deep gulp of his whiskey and mumbled 'Whatever'. Kakarrot eyes contracted he and thought "If that isn't going to be his wish, then what the fuck is his wish?"

"You are going to back up Blue. I want that third Dragon Ball and the rest that she stole from us! You understand me!"

Kakarrot nodded his head "Understood dear leader but may I ask you sir about my Grandpa?"

"Right our good Doctor. He is being kept in the Maximum-Security UNIT prison under the mountain known as One Eighty-Nine outside of North City. Its apart of their big ass nuke proof bomb shelter. Impossible to directly engage deep in Royal held ground."

"For you maybe."

Red angry and now talking down to him "I intent to send you on a rescue mission as soon as we have the resources but first, we need to save Blue and get me the Dragon Balls. You see I'm trying to save your Grandpa and my army."

Kakarrot felt like ripping his head off him, acting sanctimonious to him while his grandpa was imprisoned, and he wasn't going to do anything about it. His hands at his sides dug into his palm threating to cut into them.

Kakarrot trying to head all of this off asked. "When do I leave sir?"

Red had a smile on his face he must have had thought that he had successfully chewed him out or something. "Shortly a plane's waiting. But I figured you'd want you armor."

Kakarrot was out of his chair before Red could finish talking. He wanted out of this room as soon as possible before he was further tempted to rush things. He would have to go the lab to get his armor which suited him fine. He was intent on his revenge on Cheech, but grandpa needed him right now. Revenge would just mean very little without the old man.

The cramped and grey walkways that he marched down gave him little in the way of comfort at he made his way to the labs. His mind was being plagued by thoughts and memories.

How did Cheech beat Tao? Tao was strong than him he was sure when he left. Did she have help?

How was Grandpa? Were they torturing him? Grandpa had shown him what they do to prisoner's hell he was one of their methods of torture. It had given him the first taste of one of his favorite foods people. Did they mess with those hands that had given him so many challenges like Seven, Six and Five?

Why didn't it feel like the right time to take down Red? Grandpa always told him to go with his gut. He had told him that he was a superior lifeform that had the right to rule over mankind. That simply might made right.

Damn it he missed how Grandpa sometimes talked about him. He had to save him that was for sure. Fuck all this nonsense but how?


The lab door open and he looked on to the workbench to see his armor waiting for him. Grandpa had colored it for him and some modifications. He had trimmed the wings until the wings were merely straps like he wanted. The blank grey was gone replaced by a black, red and white theme.

He now had gloves pure black. New boots made of leather pure black. Black under spandex or whatever Grandpa named the substance. The chest and straps were blood red and the R&R logo in black above the heart. The belly guard along with the crotch guard were snow white.

It was exactly what he had asked for to the letter. His Grandpa had done so much for him then it hit him the exact way to get him everything he wanted and more a plan formed in an instant. A great big wolfish grin came over his face as he stared at the armor.

Oh he would get his grandpa back and get his revenge he was sure of that.

He grabbed hold of his armor and hurriedly put it on while quickly removing his uniform. It was a little disappoint that there was still clearly a hole on the armor for his tail but there was no time for all of that.

Kakarrot went to Teal.


Teal team six was Red best special operatives besides Hasky, Green's pride and joy thief. Captain Teal a man that had more bullet wounds then baby pictures, yet he had never been shot in the face.

His green eyes never seemed to have a dimmer to them. He was a man for a dark joke which was probably why Green liked him. They had a lot in common, he was even lanky like Green.

Lieutenant Viridian a man of few words. He was a tall on a good six ten with the muscles to match his size. Private Olive the sniper with very steady hands. Sergeant Jade was the demolitions expert. Private Emerald master of hand to hand combat. Corporal Mint the ice-cold medic.

Teal must have been as frustrated by Green capture and lack of rescue plan like himself. Teal make been a cutthroat mercenary, but he was a loyal cutthroat mercenary to be sure if that wasn't a contradiction. Mostly likely because Green was his dad.

In a bit a proof that luck as it were was on Kakarrot they were at the base were as normally they would be in some jungle hell playing hide and seek with the Royals for keeps. They were waiting in their bunks for orders went he came in. They all jumped up and heiled. It was second nature at this point and they probably thought he was command. Their hands fell to their sides as they realized who it was.

"Now Boys and Girls I have a proposition for you on how to get your General back if you're interested?" They looked at him confused. Until Teal nodded in the affirmative. "Good because I have a plan. We're going to sabotage the Dragon Radar and show the others Red's true colors."


Kakarrot easily found the dragon balls hidden away in Red's suites as the alarm bells rang out. Why he didn't bother to put them in the Vault he did know or understand. He grabbed them and brought them with him to the command center. Just like he had planned Copper, Violet, Teal and his team, Brown, Black and of course Red they were all here.

Red tends to like an audience when he is chewing others out. Red looked as though he was about to burst a blood vessel as Kakarrot strolled in with the dragon balls in hand.

Red in full on rage mode "You morons! Can't any of you do anything right?!" He gave Kakarrot a quick look and said. "What are you still doing here?" He turned then paused, and then looked back at him with his single blood shot eye. "What the hell are you doing with them?!"

Kakarrot chuckled "I think its truth time boss man. Why are we collecting these balls?"

In anger Black yelled at him "To rule the world, you traitorous little shit!"

"I didn't ask you Black. I asked Red. I think he is maybe not a big man but big enough to answer my question himself."

Red cringed at his words if there was anything, he hated to be called more in this universe it was short. "What did you just say brat!"

Kakarrot said while practically waving them in his face "Do I need to repeat myself? Shorty why are we collecting these balls?"

Red without thinking then just blurted it out in a mad rage "So no one can ever call me short again when I'm eight feet tall!" As the words left his mouth, he must have known he had fuck up as his face said it all.

The room went silence but for the computers in room. The pupil of everyone except Kakarrot had shrunk. The gravity of the situation was setting and the first to break was Black.

Black asked in rising anger "What was that Sir?"

Red now very nervous "Well aw I aw… I misspoke you see."

"You mobilized and got a good portion of the army destroyed so you could get a small height increase?" Said with bile coming from his voice.

Red's eye shifting "Not a small height increase."

Violet indignantly "I almost got eaten by an Alligator for that?!"

"I'll like to take back my earlier little shit comment." Said while still staring daggers at Red.

Kakarrot out of some sort of religious ceremony put his hand up "My friend you are forgiven."

Red shaking his head "It doesn't matter. I am this army. What I say goes! And I decided that I need a height increase."

"Alright since Blue might be dead right know and White is dead along with Silver I imagine it's down to the people in this room. Now in light of this disturbing revelation all in favor of a new Commander say I."

They all say 'I' except Red. Red in a rage "I'm the leader you can't replace me!"

"All in favor of killing the time waster say I."

They all say 'I' and with a slight hand motion Kakarrot fires a beam into Red's head killing him instantly. His body hitting the ground with a thud.

"Well now that that trash fire has been dealt with. I would to like to nominate myself for the position of leadership of this heap. All in favor say Yea all oppose say Nay." Begrudgingly they all said 'Yea'. "Good I would hate for more bodies to pile up."

He took a deep breath with his nose and a grin of refreshment took his face. "Ah that's what I'm taking about the smell of pure uncut power nothing in the world smells better that it. The title is Lord Commander or my lord if you will. Teal I want a plan to save Gero and Green on my desk as soon as possible but first fix the screen."

Teal quickly shout out "Yes my lord!"

Kakarrot continuing "Black power down the defenses." Black gasped. "Chi-Chi will be here soon and I want no interruption to her arrival."

Black in panic "But my lord!"

Kakarrot waved his concerns off "You heard what I said. I beat Cheech before, and I can do it again regardless of her new power up. Get all of Grandpa's toys ready on the off chance I need backup which I can assure you I won't. Copper you're in charge of tactics again. I want to recover the army that my unworthy predecessor nearly got destroyed."

Copper heiled "Yes my lord."

"Violet I want you to find out the deal with the other ball with tech crew. Why can't we find it and who could be doing it."

Violet heiled "Yes my lord."

"Brown I want numbers. I want to know how many we lost, how many we still have and how we can get more men."

Brown heiled "Yes my lord."

"Now yet us all be clear the RRA is dead the KRA is born. What we do here is going to resonate for over a thousand years. We are on the precipice of a new age and don't any of you forget it. We are going to break this world and claim it as our own."

They all yelled 'Yes my lord' and their hands went to the air heiling him. He grinned; it all had worked out perfectly. Time to deal with the Chi-Chi. She'd never see it coming either. The screen came back up as four yellow dots were coming right at Headquarters.
