With the Dragon Radar showing the last two spheres sitting on top of each other, Goku realizes he is heading straight for Red Ribbon Army Headquarters. He launches his one-boy invasion on Kinto-Un while Bulma, watching from a satellite rig at Kame House, scrambles Yamcha and the others to back him up.
Squinting at the Dragon Radar, Goku notices that the two remaining signals are stacked directly on top of each other, meaning both spheres must be sitting inside a single structure. He puts it together quickly: the blips can only belong to Red Ribbon Army Headquarters. Upa begs him to reconsider, but Goku is already whistling for Kinto-Un, promising only that he will run if things get too hairy.
Inside the fortress, Colonel Violet strolls in and casually tosses the Five-Star Ball onto the commander's desk, having used the army's stolen scanner to pluck it out of the wilderness. Commander Red orders Staff Officer Black to hand the captured radar over to General Copper for the next hunt. Before Copper can move, a technician notices that four spheres are suddenly on the move. Red assumes Mercenary Tao is returning with his trophies.
Back at Kame House, Bulma has rigged a satellite dish to broadcast Goku's position onto the television. She spots him barreling toward a pair of Dragon Balls and realizes the destination has to be Red Ribbon territory. Launching a small scout drone, she steers it over the base for a closer look while a technician inside the compound picks off the tiny aircraft, assuming Tao is the one closing in.
Fearing the worst, Bulma improvises a phone to call Capsule Corporation. After fending off one of her father's awful jokes, she gets Yamcha on the line and lays out the situation. Yamcha, bored and itching for a fight, gathers Puar and Oolong. Meanwhile, Goku drops a Red Ribbon aircraft out of the sky with a single swing, and a panicked officer bursts into the control room to inform Red that the intruder is not Tao at all but Son Goku.
