Dragon Ball - Legacy of Gine Vol. 3

56.4 Years ago,there were 2 Scientists,both Academic Rivals and Occasional Frienemies. One was Dr. Boxer Brief,the other Dr. Maki Gero. Dr. Brief specialized in Capsule Storage Research,where,via hammerspace,anything can be compressed in to a single Capsule and decompressed later for use.

Dr. Gero specialized in Bionic Research,Research that can grant Anyone great abilities by implanting specialized chips in them. During their Senior Year at the University,both Gero and Brief pitched their individual ideas to the Staff for funding.

After hearing both sides,they've decided to fund Dr. Brief,citing that Bionic Implants could prove dangerous to implement into a human,and even then there was no safety guarantee for those who would use them.

Angry beyond belief,Dr. Gero left the University,never to return again. Many years later Dr. Brief and Dr. Gero founded their own competing Companies - Capsule Corp. and Red Ribbon Industries respectively. But when Capsule Corp was outperforming Red Ribbon Industries,a frustrated and angry Dr. Gero set his sights on World Domination. If the World won't admire His Genius willingly,He'll Forced Them Too.

And so,using his resources and money,Dr. Gero created the Red Ribbon Army,lead by the Cruel Commander Red. After getting defeated by the King's Army,the Red Ribbon decided to use the Dragon Balls to obtain World Conquest.

And Now our story continues.

However the Old Master and the Barefooted Saiyan Lady easily dispatch them. The 2 are then confronted by the Leader,Major Fuchsia. A pretty woman who looks like Mai,but with short fuchsia-colored hair,lipstick,eyeshadow,and fingernails.

Major Fuchsia is angry for the interruption and makes threats. Gine warns the Major of the mess she's just gotten herself into and tells her to take her goons and machines and leave. Major Fuchsia just laughs tells Gine that she can Never stand a chance against the Red Ribbon Army.

Gohan has heard of Red Ribbon Industries and the fact that if they've converted themselves into a Terrorist Group. The Major is pissed off at Gohan's labeling and tells him that The Red Ribbon Army is fighting to make the world a better place,under Dr. Gero's rule and with the Dragon Balls,they're gonna be doing just that.  

Gine tells the Major that the Red Ribbon Army will never succeed,especially since She's here to protect the Earth. Major Fuchsia tells Gine that she can try and die. The Major throws off her hat,jacket,and boots and go's into a Muay-Thai fight stance. Major Fuchsia's feet were beautiful,with Fuchsia painted toenails.

Gine delivers a swift kick to the Major,knocking her out. The Red Ribbon make a hasty retreat,with their machines and the unconscious Major. Gine thinks about the Red Ribbon Army and their goals. She then realizes that Kakarot is also looking for the Dragon Balls and might need some help against the Army.

Gohan tells Gine that he'll clean up here and to go and aid her Son. Gine thanks Gohan and leaves. Meanwhile,Kakarot's Dragon Ball hunt brings him to a Snowy Village,which is under attack by the Red Ribbon Army,who's looking for a Traitor called Dr. Frappe,as well as the Dragon Ball.

Kakarot goes to the Muscle Tower,which is located a few miles outside of the Village,and is soon joined by Gine,who doesn't feel too uncomfortable being barefoot in the snow. Gine informs Kakarot of the Red Ribbon's intentions,and that both She and Gohan were attacked by the Group earlier. Kakarot is angry about this and promises to end them.

But,Android 8 refuses telling White that he's Not a murderer. 8 apologizes for attacking and tells them that if he didn't do as asked,General White would've detonated the bomb that's inside him and kill everyone within a 8 mile radius.

Gine is horrified and promises to help 8,who Kakarot calls Eighter. The 3 make it to the 7th floor,where they meet The Red Ribbon Army's Muscle Men,who are just muscly members of the Army. Gine,Kakarot and Eighter defeat them easily. on the 8th and Final floor,they meet General White,who tells the trio to stay back or he'll detonate Android 8's bomb with a remote control.

White tells her that he's in the closet. Eighter rips open the closet and finds the Mayor. As a final act,General White self destructs the Tower,with the intent on taking the Heroes with him.

Kakarot want's to go too. After Landing on a nearby island,Bulma gives Gine and Goku each a Capsule with a Wetsuit.

Tao introduces himself and tellls them that he's here to kill them and collect their Dragon Balls. He also reveals that the Red Ribbon Army already has 3 and that they want the rest.

Bora tells Tao to leave The Sacred Land and that evil people aren't welcome here. Tao respons by killing Bora with a Pressure Point Attack to the Heart. An angry Gine beats the hell out of Tao,with Kakarot helping. 

Keep in mind at This point in the Story,Gine's power level is 530,compared with Tao's 110. And Yes,Tao can fly,due to him being a Master of the Tsurusen'nin Style of Martial Arts,which teaches flight.

Mercenary Tao begs for forgiveness,but it's all a bluff. He uses Solar Flair to blind the 2 Saiyans and steal their Dragon Balls. When the blinding light clears,Gine and Kakarot leave to catch Tao,with a promise to revive Bora.
