The Dragon Ball Scramble

The Boy Who Has Never Heard of the Red Ribbon

The name Red Ribbon Army means nothing to Goku, and he makes it clear that he has no interest in learning what it is. Colonel Silver tries to snatch the satchel holding the Six-Star Ball and the radar, but Goku plucks it back almost casually. Delighted at the prospect of a real scrap, Silver throws himself into the fight and is dismantled in a matter of seconds. With the Kinto-Un destroyed, Goku raids the enemy encampment for a replacement and experiments with the capsules he finds there. The first one spits out a helpful service robot that tells him which capsule to try next, and the second deploys a full airplane that the robot happily agrees to pilot for him.

Orders From Headquarters

Far away at Red Ribbon Army Headquarters, Commander Red is deep in conversation with his aide about the ongoing hunt for the seven wishes. A panicked underling bursts in with news that one of the orbs is moving, heading directly away from Silver's camp. After a string of failed attempts to reach the colonel, they finally get him on the line and hear the story of the stranger who flattened their best troops. Commander Red suspects the brat must be carrying a radar of his own. The signal is rapidly drifting into the arctic region, straight toward General White's territory, and orders are cut that the boy is to be killed on sight.

Into the Snow

Inside the little airplane Goku shivers violently as the temperature plunges, and the Red Ribbon robot reminds him that machines do not feel the cold. The radar indicates the next ball is somewhere directly below, but the pilot promptly crashes the craft into the snow. In Muscle Tower, General White takes the call reporting the downed plane and savors the prospect of ripping apart the little pest once his troops run him to ground. The chapter closes on an unexpected image of Goku being dragged through deep drifts of snow by a small girl who has found the half-frozen boy buried in white.
