The Fall of Commander Red

The Last Men Standing

Goku plows through another pocket of defenders, kicking one in the jaw and pounding another flat. When a pair of soldiers try to ambush him from behind a heavy table with a rocket launcher, he charges straight through the blast, slams the table into the wall, and pancakes them against it. The other two in the room turn tail, and Commander Red watches his army empty out in real time. Black quietly informs him that every remaining trooper is fleeing, and Red cannot comprehend that one child has undone his entire operation.

A Humiliating Confession

Cornered in the vault, Red finally lets his secret slip. All he ever wanted from Shenron was a wish to make himself taller. Black stares at him in disbelief. The whole campaign, the murder, the theft, the global empire in the making, were all a stepping stone toward world domination in Black's eyes, yet Red only cared about being the right height for the girls who once teased him in school. Black loses his patience, raises his pistol, and shoots Red through the head. He declares himself the new commander just as Goku crashes through the door.

A New Enemy, A New Toy

Black offers Goku a seat at the table, promising to split the Dragon Balls and rule the world together. Goku flatly refuses, explaining that the spheres are meant for bringing Upa's father back. When Black pushes harder, Goku still will not budge, so the officer resigns himself to a fight. Goku slips every punch and kick, drives an elbow into Black's gut, and demands surrender. Instead, Black pops a capsule and climbs into a bulky Battle Jacket, landing a heavy mechanized fist flush across Goku's face.
