After a while, the gang arrives at Kame House. Meanwhile, the two soldiers are found by a patrol and tell them the gang attacked. Back with the gang, they find Turtle tending to the grass with cutters in his hands, or fins, whichever. Inside the pink house, Roshi is watching a marathon of women in bikini movies. He then gets out of the house and greets the gang. Roshi immediately asks, "So what brings you kids here?"
Broly tells him, "A Dragon Ball is at the bottom of the ocean. Can we borrow a submarine?" Roshi just shrugs, "Sure. Krillin! Launch! Goku and Broly are back! Bring the submarine capsule with you!" Immediately, Krillin and (thank God) sweet Launch exited the house, and while Bulma gets the capsule, Krillin, Goku, and Broly are immediately playing games with each other, with Chi Chi joining in.
Bulma then pulls out a map with a red X on where the Dragon Ball is. When Krillin sees it while playing the games, he goes straight to it. "Interesting. You could find the pirate treasure along with the Dragon Ball." He says. Roshi then explains, "Ah yes, the pirate treasure...Pirates pillaged and plundered here long ago, legend says that there's a hidden underwater vault containing every treasure ever found by the pirates."
As they board the submarine, Krillin joins with them. Also, the submarine can fly as well. Eventually, the gang arrives and dives underwater, unaware General Blue is watching. Once the gang reaches the bottom of the ocean, right where the Dragon Ball is, but after minutes of staring out the window, Goku goes out in a scuba diving suit and looks for it himself. After what seems forever, Goku spots a strange crack on the ocean floor.
Broly then asks, "Krillin, do you think you can find where that crack goes?" Krillin goes to the side of the ocean floor Goku is investigating and finds a cliff, during which Bulma tinkers with the Dragon Radar to find that there is a hidden cave. She also finds a route on an opposite cliff and the gang goes towards it. However, General Blue found them in his submarine and is following them and the moment they go near the cave, Blue starts shooting at them.
However, they only get the stone roof above the gang, who luckily survive. Bulma points to the other submarine and Goku just blurts out, "There's only one group mean enough to do something like this: The Red Ribbon Army." Bulma and Krillin start freaking out, but Broly just booms, "What's happened is happening. I know you guys don't like this, but at this rate we'll be dead. We have to keep going."
Due to this, Krillin manages to get the submarine away from the enemy. After the torpedo launchers failure, Blue orders the fox man's execution. The larger submarine chases after the gang's submarine, and the narrowing tunnel stops the neo Nazis in their tracks, but they just follow in a smaller submarine. This submarine is followed by another, and they both try to ram the gang submarine into the wall.
However, when the subs push the gang into the wall, but a boulder is pushed to hit one of the Red Ribbon Submarine and the gang surface in the cave. They wander the cave for quite a while till Goku touched the wall and turned a light switch that turned on all of the lights on the ceiling. Chi Chi then asks, "Electric lights, how strange?" Meanwhile, Goku and Broly are playing with skulls as masks and scare the rest of the gang.
Broly goes overboard by chanting, "I am the cursed Rattler." And Goku puts on a nearby rotting pirate costume and starts chanting, "Yo ho, yo ho." Krillin then exclaims, "The pirate crest! This is the pirate base with all the treasure!" General Blue hears this and starts to think of how he could use the gold to make amends for incompetent mistakes he made in the past of the Red Ribbon Army.
Both groups go down the long, dark hallway till they come across a hallway with holes and dots in the walls and floor. Krillin steps on one of the dots on the floor and a spear shoots out of one of the holes and luckily misses him. Chi Chi then mutters, "Oh no, it's a booby trap." But Goku and Broly just jump over every spot, almost 50 feet. Krillin tries next, but he skids his face to the ceiling and lands safely with a red marked face.
Goku, Broly, and Krillin then use the Power Pole to help Bulma and Chi Chi crossover. Meanwhile, General Blue sends his men into the booby trapped hallway, and they all die immediately but General Blue finds a secret passage around. Back with the gang, the room becomes suddenly a dark cave. The only light found are coming out of eye sockets in skulls on the ground.
Bulma stands in front of one of the lights, and the floor around her collapses, bringing Chi Chi down with her. Goku rescues Chi Chi, while Broly and Krillin rescue Bulma. Everyone can see molten lava at the bottom of the floor. They save themselves while General Blue fights an eel with his own hands and win. Meanwhile, the gang next finds an enlarged area with a port, ruins, and several ships.
But then, a green robot with a body build similar to the Xenomorph, sword in one hand, and a cannon for another, and finally with a cream skull like head. It swings its sword at them, but the gang dodge. It swings the sword again. They dodge again, but the entire gang is being chased by the robot, swinging its sword around like a madman. After that, the robot then uses its machine gun hand and starts firing around.
Goku jumps up high and then punches the robot in the face, Krillin kicks it, and Broly elbows it, but it doesn't hurt it. The robot just swings its sword just to miss. The kids rush at the monster, dodging gunfire, and Goku and Broly hit it's front, while Krillin leaps around to hit it in the back. They dodge at it again and try to beat it up, during which Krillin destroys the sword. But it just keeps staring at them and shooting at them.
The robot shoots at oil barrels and causes a few small explosions. It chases Goku around shooting at him, but doesn't see the wall in front of it and crashes into it. However, it just gets out of the wall and keeps on shooting. Broly just comments, "That thing's trigger happy." Chi Chi then finally steps up to fight and uses the blade fin on her helmet to cut off the arm that held the blade, making it useless, but it can still fire guns.
Meanwhile, Krillin and Bulma get onto the massive battleship and set up a cannon and fires on the robot, but misses. The robot charges at the ship and lands on the deck, confronting the two. Fearfully, Chi Chi fires the laser on her helmet and burns off the end of the sausage shaped skull. It chases after them again, but then Broly rams a truck into the robot, but as the gang leaves, the robot uses it's tail to drag Goku into the water.
The tail then starts to electrocute Goku, but he breaks free by destroying the tip of the tail and swims back to the surface. Goku gets buried by rocks, just as the robot gets out of the water and starts shooting at the gang, but the damage Chi Chi caused is starting to show, because it's shooting more wildly. The gang runs into one of the buildings and find a room of skeletons, but the robot keeps chasing them through the house of horror.
Unknown to the gang, the egotistic Blue is watching the unconscious Goku wake up. Eventually, they run into a room with a skeleton at a series of screens that show the entire base to them. Broly then whispers, "Bulma, hurry and see if you can turn the robot off." While Bulma's typing away, the robot breaks into the room and turns it's machine gun hand into a flamethrower hand and burns the room. Just then, Goku arrives with the power pole and saves the gang.
Goku then shouts, "You guys go on ahead, I've gotta beat him!" And so they all run off deeper into the lair, with General Blue behind them. Goku then goes to the top of the tower and jumps towards the robot and punches him so hard it breaks in half. The after effect explosion starts causing the entire lair to start caving in on itself. At a T intersection, Krillin writes an arrow with rock to point to Goku where to go, but Blue erases it and sends Goku in the wrong direction.
The gang finds a water well at the end of the hallway and start swimming in it to the other side, eventually making it. In the strange cave, there's a single treasure chest, and inside of it is a lot of jewels and golden trinkets. Back with Goku, he reaches a dead end, and falls through a trap door and lands on a giant octopus, which tries to eat him, but Goku uses the Kamehameha to fry the octopus.
With the gang, Bulma just shouts, "We're rich!" It's at this moment that General Blue finally reveals himself. "Wrong little lady. It belongs to the Red Ribbon Army." He says, getting their attention. Bulma instantly falls in love with him and tries to flirt with him, but he just snorts out "Gross." He keeps on staring at Broly, who just says, "I'm not gay man." Krillin then just pops a few knuckles and shouts, "Broly! Leave him to me!"
Blue just snorts, "Got a death wish, punk?" Krillin instantly gets beaten up, but Broly isn't moving. Chi Chi just screams in his ear, "Why aren't you helping!?" Broly sees stars while sarcastically stating, "Geez, Goku's a lucky guy." He then shakes his head and says, "Don't worry." Instantly Krillin uses the after image technique, and kicks the sadist in the face. At this, all Blue stammers is, "How could you kick something so beautiful!?"
Broly just shrugs with a comment, "No offense man, but there are women who look better than you." Blue then shouts, "Shut up you mongrel! Do you realize I'm bleeding!? Me! It's like putting paint on the Mona Lisa!" Krillin just stammers out, "What a fruitcake." Now, Blue is furious, but Broly sees something glow in his eyes. Broly then asks, "Paralysis? Really?" And Blue kicks Krillin across the room.
Broly then steps up to fight and protects Krillin. Blue then asks, "Why are you protecting this bald freak? As a being of near perfection, you must understand that a man who commits such a sacrilege must die." Broly just answers, "Looks don't make a man above morals, and second, a nosebleed isn't an excuse to be a sadist." Luckily, at that moment, Goku returns to save the day. With his reluctance to fight Broly, Blue charges at Goku, who dodges the kick to him.
The fight between the two start off with a flurry of punches and kicks, and both won't stop dodging each other. But Goku lands a lucky kick to Blue's face and sends him face first in the dirt. Blue then shouts, "You insolent brat! You struck me!?" After that, there's a few more punches and kicks that starts to make Goku win. It is then, Blue just mumbles, "My tooth is loose?...My tooth is loose!?"
Blue then starts glowing, well, blue, along with so many veins bulging on his body. Bulma, Chi Chi, and Broly yell incoherent things that all say the same thing: Don't look in his eyes. But it doesn't work and Goku is paralyzed. Blue kicks Goku once, making Broly charge at Blue. But Goku was kicked so hard he hit the roof and fell right onto Broly. Blue then uses another kick to beat both into the wall.
When it's clear that the room will collapse soon, Blue uses a capsule made shotgun to finish off the gang. Broly runs as fast as he can to save Goku, who's the first to be at the end of the gun barrel. At the last moment mouse runs by and Blue throws the gun away, revealing he has Musophobia. This breaks Blue's concentration, freeing Goku. Blue tries to use the paralysis move, but Goku pokes Blue in the eyes.
While he's hurt, Broly kicks him in the reproductive organs, and Krillin uses a superman punch on Blue, giving him a black eye. Krillin then just whoops, "Yeah! Turtle School Barrage!" But the room starts to collapse some more, and Goku goes into a small pool to get the Dragon Ball on the radar. The gang goes on without him, and go to the port with a red submarine big enough for each one of them, but are covered in bruises.
Luckily, Goku finds the 3 starred Dragon Ball, and when he returns to the surface, he brings with him the mouse that saved him. As they ran down the hallway all the way to the pirate submarine and join the gang and escape, with Bulma having a diamond in tow, heading for Kame House. Somehow, after blonde Launch stole the diamond, the entire gang is tied up by floating rope. The Dragon Ball is knocked over and rolls straight to General Blue.
Blue takes the Dragon Ball and steals the backpack with the other Dragon Balls and then drops a timed bomb. He then gleefully says, "Enjoy death." Soon after though, not blonde Launch returns. She frees Goku with a butter knife and throws the bomb out at the last second. Goku then rides off on the flying nimbus. Launch then asks, "Broly, aren't you going with him?" Then Broly answers, "Goku will handle the general, he's a fruitcake after all. Plus my magic carpet doesn't fly damp from all that swimming."
Chi Chi then asks, "What magic carpet?" Broly just twitches an eye a little and answers, "The one I've had tied to my back since we got in the submarine at this house." Everyone just blurts out, "Ohhh."
After a while, Goku returns, with the bag back. He is screaming, "Guys! You'll never believe this! I went to Penguin Village with a lot of fun people, including a purple haired robot girl named Arale! She beat up General Blue like it was nothing! Arale's maker, Dr. Senbei even made a spare Dragon Radar after the sissy stole the original!"" After that, Goku, Broly, and Chi Chi continue the adventure while Bulma and Krillin stay behind at Kame House.
When they arrive at the next location, where they save a nomad's son from the Red Ribbon Army. The nomad, Bora, tells the gang, "Thank you for saving Upa, my son." As they talked, Goku sees that Bora is holding the four star Dragon Ball. The gang then dances around with the nomads. After explaining the origin, and learn of a mysterious tower. Broly starts off by asking, "That's Korin Tower, isn't it?"
Elsewhere, General Blue returns to the Red Ribbon Army HQ with the Dragon Radar he stole. As he arrives, a man dressed in a pink chang pao with a crest of the ancient Crane school on the breast, and the words KILL YOU written on the back. His face is a very gaunt face with a hook nose and mustache, squinted eyes, and hair in a braided ponytail. This is Mercenary Tao, and he is one of the deadliest men on the planet Earth.
"My going rate is 5 billion a head." This made Officer Black, a dark skinned man in a cheap tuxedo, sweat a little. Commander Red, the short man who looks like a red haired Big Boss from Metal Gear in an equally cheap suit, just chuckles under his breath. Black then asks, "How do we know you are Mercenary Tao?" Tao just scoffs, "Would you like a demonstration?" At that moment, General Blue enters.
Red then barks in a thick accent, "How could you come back here after failing to bring a Dragon Ball!? You've had men executed for something as simple as picking a nose! And now you have the nerve to stand before me!? Don't you dare give any excuse!" Blue then hands Black the Dragon Radar and grovels to them, "This is the boy's Dragon Radar!" Red then screams, "Your damn assignment were the DRAGON BALLS! NOT THE DRAGON RADAR!"
Red then smirks and tells him, "I won't have you executed, on one condition: You defeat your executioner, Mercenary Tao." Tao then shrugs out the words, "This will cost you. And to make things interesting, I'll only use my tongue." The Aryan charges at Tao with a flurry of kicks and punches, but they all are dodged. Blue then tries the paralysis trick, but after the attack is complete, Tao just pops his neck, unharmed.
Blue charges one last time at Tao, who moves out of the way and pokes Blue in the temple with his tongue so fast it was almost like a bullet. This practically destroyed Blue's brain, killing him. After being shown a picture of the kids and shown the Dragon Ball the Red Ribbon Army possesses, Tao then takes off for the kids riding a column he just two taps for the 1400 miles. Tao arrives at Korin Tower and confronts the gang.
Tao then just says, "Please to Kill You. I am Mercenary Tao, I've come to kill you children and take your Dragon Balls for the Red Ribbon Army." Bora then just tells him, "Wait, if you think of fighting these children you must go through me first." Tao just moves impossibly fast and steals the spear from Bora, throwing him in the air, and killing him with Bora's own weapon in front of his son and his friends.
Goku and Broly charge at Tao, who dodges their charge and kicks both in the face. Tao then just remarks, "That's all? Piece of cake." They then get up and charge again. They both miss again, and Tao uses his ponytail as a whip and hits both of them. He continues to dodge each attack till he proceeds to head-butt both boys. But the two get up again, and they both charge up their Kamehameha, Goku's ocean blue, and Broly's forest green.
Tao just puts himself in a blocking position and takes both blasts. Tao survives, but his clothes are burnt into a loin cloth, and has a few burns and cuts on his body. He then just shouts, "You ruined my outfit! DODON RAY!" He sticks his finger out and shoots a beam of gold light straight at Goku. He then repeats, "DODON RAY!" and fires at Broly as well. Tao then takes the backpack with three Dragon Balls in them.
The sadist then leaves for a town to get his clothes recreated in 3 days and relax at a hotel. Meanwhile, Upa has just buried his father, and has started to bury Broly and Goku while Chi Chi mourns Goku. As they are being buried, the Red Ribbon Army arrives to collect the Dragon Ball Tao missed. When they arrive, they find that Grandpa Gohan's Dragon Ball was at the point Tao shot at him.
At that point, Goku wakes up. Everyone stands around Goku, and then Broly wakes up as well. Broly just says, "You know, I'm glad my skins tough." The two then beat up the Red Ribbon Army soldier and then prepares to climb Korin Tower. Goku then tells Upa, "Don't worry about your dad, we'll bring him back." The two climb for such a long time till they reach the top. Crawling through a hole, they find a very quaint little den.
The first thing the two notice are the music of wind chimes, and three water barrels. They look through the water barrel in the middle of the three, seeing Bulma cooking food at the Kame House. They then went to the one on the right of it and see Chi Chi meeting Goku for the first time. And in the final one, it is the strangest thing, a red centipede monster attacking the two. Then they start seeing people they haven't met yet, their friends, and Tao.
They wake up unharmed. Then a somewhat raspy voice booms, "Relax kiddos, you just saw the past, present, and future. Mind blowing isn't it? Anyway, come on up the stairs." They see the stairs he's talking about and go up them. What they see is a small white cat with a cane bigger than his body, and his eyes are shut. He just shrugs, "What's up, Goku and Broly. The name's Korin, keeper of the tower."
Broly was very shocked. True he never met Korin before, but Kami talked very highly of him, but yet is trumped by the fact Korin is shorter than Goku. Goku then asks, "Mr. Korin, can you please help us? We need it to help save our friends." Korin then tells him, "Noble cause, children of the stars. But the tower climb isn't the only test, you must take the sacred water. But I must warn you, I am very fast."
Goku then asks, "Wait? How did you know our names?" Korin just shrugged the answer, "I read minds." Goku and Broly then charge at the water, but Korin just knocks them aside with his cane and grabs the water bottle. They continue this trial for a long time, learning that the one person to drink the sacred water was a 300 year younger Master Roshi, which took 3 years to drink the water.
The first night was a failure, but on the bright side, Goku and Broly got their first senzu bean, a bean that feeds them 10 day's worth of food. The next day, Korin teaches them to focus. Korin also tricks the two back to the bottom of the tower with the Dragon Ball and force them to climb back up. They keep on trying to get the sacred water, listening to Korin's advice of learning from breathing, but fail on the second day.
That night, they figure out how to catch Korin: They mimic him. And so, on the third day, they give Korin a run for his money. Goku tickles Korin to make him lose the grip on the cane with the bottle, and Broly grabs at it. The two then drink the water, but Broly just thinks aloud, "Strange, I don't feel different." Goku then comments, "Me too." Korin then tells them, "Kids, that's tap water. You gained strength from trying to get the bottle."
Back with Tao, he gets his finished outfit on at the tailor. When the Tailor asks for payment, the mercenary kills him with a finger to the forehead. Tao then takes off for Korin Tower, where he finds Upa and Chi Chi. Tao immediately starts picking on the two by holding them both in choke holds. Goku and Broly arrive from the tower and challenge Tao, who drops Upa and Chi Chi.
Tao just says, "I've never fought someone twice." Goku steps forward to fight, telling Broly, "Broly, please leave him to me." Tao just laughs and tells him, "What vivid imaginations, but it's time to stop dreaming!" Tao charges at Goku with a punch, but Goku dodges Matrix style, and then punches Tao in the stomach, and then kicks him into the tower. Goku then cheers, "Alright! Korin's training paid off!"
Tao charges at Goku, who blocks Tao's kicks. The sadist throws a punch and steps back to strategize. Tao charges again and keeps up his barrages, which are all blocked. Then, Tao gets in a few lucky hits, but Goku lands strong enough hits that destroy Tao's outfit, again. The angry man fires the Dodon Ray, but Goku catches it with his bare hands. At this, the coward then uses a capsule generated sword.
Chi Chi tosses Goku his Power Pole. When the weapons clash, the Power Pole destroys the sword. After this, Tao then starts running, and no I am not stuttering, up Korin Tower for a drink of the Sacred Water. Broly just shrugs, "What an idiot." Upa then asks, "Who?" And Broly tells him, "Tao. He honestly thinks that Korin will give him the water. 20 Zeni says that he'll be given tap water with whatever's up Korin's nose in it."
Tao arrives back down the next day on a dark cloud. Broly just starts laughing, "Oh man, the Dark Nimbus. This is gonna be funny!" And just as Broly says that, Tao falls through the cloud. Tao charges at Goku and punches him, then kicks him, then repeats. After a knee to the stomach, Goku gets up unharmed, dusts himself off, and tells him, "You got a little better." Goku then knocks the wind out of Tao.
Goku then starts marking up the bullies face. After Goku gets into a different fighting stance, Tao just kneels and says, "I give up." Everyone are looking to each other to figure out what to do, then Tao laughs and throws a grenade at the gang, but Goku and Broly charge at it and knock it at Tao. The killer stares at the grenade in his face, bug eyed as it explodes. The blast engulfs him, ending the mercenary.
