[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z...

Kaio-Ken! Times two!

[NARRATOR] Goku and Vegeta went head-to-head

in a contest of strength and skill,

increasing their levels of power with every attack.

But as the battle raged on,

it was clear that Vegeta still had the upperhand.

Goku soon realized his only hope

for defeating the evil Saiyan was to push himself

beyond the limits of his training,

to a level King Kai had warned him never to attempt...

And though Vegeta, with his seemingly unstoppable power,

loomed over him like a predator toying with its prey,

Goku stood his ground as he prepared to launch himself

back into the fight!

[GOKU] Time to see what I'm made of...

[NARRATOR] Can Goku find the strength

to stop the ruthless Vegeta?

Alright, here goes nothing... Kaio-Ken Attack times three!

[NARRATOR] Stay tuned!

Haah!

[thinking] Hm? What's this all about?

[GOKU growling]

Uh...

[ROSHI] Bulma?

[CHICHI] What is it?

Uhh... Ah!

No! I told him not to go over a double!

His body isn't trained to handle more than that!

[BUBBLES chattering]

[thinking] Oh, Goku... Please, be careful!

[GOKU'S shouts echoing]

[shouting]

[shouting continuing]

[GOKU grunting]

[GOKU yelling]

[yelling continues]

[GOKU yelling, skin sizziling]

[GOKU grunting]

[GOKU bellowing]

[VEGETA grunting]

Haa...

[grunting continues]

[GOKU yelling]

Ah! Ugh!

[yelling continues]

[GOKU] Hrrgh!

Urgh!

[GOKU growling]

[growling continues]

[VEGETA grunting]

[growling, grunting]

Wow! Goku!

[GOKU] Eurgh!

[VEGETA snarling]

[VEGETA yelling]

[VEGETA growling]

Uurgh...

[VEGETA] Waugh!

[grunting]

[growling]

Eugh... Gaah...

[growling]

Hrrgh!

[YAJIROBE] He's winning!

All right! Goku might just beat this guy after all!

[OX KING] Goku must be putting up one heck of a fight, ChiChi!

If he did this to the scouter.

There's no telling how powerful he is...

But what about Gohan?

I wanna know what's happened to him!

Baba, can't you get it to work?

Hmm... I'm trying dear. There's just so much interference

from their power levels...

Well, I hope you get it working soon!

I'm tired of not knowing what's going on out there!

His power did knock out the scouter... So, uh...

Maybe he's already won!

[BULMA] Yeah!

I don't know guys, but I seriously doubt it.

[ROSHI] The power measured from Goku was unstable.

Think about it... A candle flickers most violently

just before it burns out.

[CHICHI] You're saying that Goku's in trouble?!

[ROSHI] No, I'm talkin' about candles...

Of course he's in trouble!

[BABA] Come on, crystal ball!

Hrgh!

[grunting]

[VEGETA shouting]

[shouting continues]

[VEGETA growling]

[VEGETA yelling]

[GOKU growling]

[VEGETA grunting]

[gasping]

[thinking] His power... How could he be so strong?

He's blocking my attacks like they were nothing!

What a guy! He won't quit! That's alright, I won't either!

Aaughh!

But... My body might...

[thinking] What are you waiting for, Goku?

You've got him right where you want him!

[VEGETA] This shouldn't be happening!

I don't understand!

I am a Super Elite! Now, he's sealed his fate!

This planet is history!

I'll destroy everything! Everything!

Do you hear me, Kakarot? You're finished!

[thinking] Uh-oh! This isn't good!

I still haven't recovered from the last attack!

Come on, body... Don't give out on me now!

[VEGETA panting]

Rrgh!

[VEGETA] Who does this fool think he's dealing with?!

He's beneath me! I'll show him...

I'll show them all! I'll reduce this place to ashes!

Raaugh!

Kakarot!

Dodge this next attack if you can!

But know that if you do,

your precious little planet will be gone!

No! You can't!

[VEGETA] The choice is yours, Kakarot!

But either way... you are going to perish!

[VEGETA laughing]

No, not yet! I'm worn out!

[YAJIROBE whimpering]

[VEGETA yelling]

I-I don't have any time! It's now or never!

[GOKU] Kaio-Ken times three!

[GOKU yelling]

[GOKU] Let's see how he likes a Kamehameha!

Ka... Me...

[VEGETA yelling]

Ha...

[VEGETA] Now, Kakarot! Pepare yourself for oblivion!

Me...

Gallic Gun!

Yaah!

Oh, no! If I knew this was going to happen,

I would've eaten more pizza and ice cream!

Haa!

[YAJIROBE grunting]

[GOKU yelling]

It can't be! His beam is as strong as my Gallic Gun!

[GOKU growling]

[VEGETA growling]

Ohh!

[OOLONG] Hey, look!

[ROSHI] Easy there, sis!

Woah!

Your crystal ball must be transmitting

some of the energy those two are releasing...

[ROSHI] I'm not sure how much more of this

that ball can handle!

[BABA] Why, my ball can--

[ALL screaming]

[GOKU grunting]

Raaugh!

[thinking] I've got to take it further...

Kaio-Ken!

No! Goku!

[GOKU] Times four!

No! Noooo!

[VEGETA screaming]

[GOKU panting]

[YAJIROBE grunting]

My body...

I'm... not... dead?

That... means... he did it!

Goku, you did it! Heh, heh, heh, heh!

Alright! Way to go!

[YAJIROBE chuckling]

Huh?

Oh, hey, Yajirobe! Where did you come from?

Who me? I've been here the whole time!

You didn't see me cheering you on

from behind the rocks back there?

Heh, heh, heh... Uh, no...

Yeah, I didn't cheer out loud.

I thought it would distract you.

But man, I saw the whole thing! You're awesome!

Yaauugh!

[GOKU panting]

Wow, Goku... You're all worn out!

Yeah, I think I over did it a little bit...

Well, that doesn't surprise me.

You should pace yourself...

I feel so drained! My body's thrashed!

I can hardly move!

Yeah, good thing it's over!

Uh, isn't it?

Well, at this particular moment,

things are looking pretty good.

I don't think he's enjoying himself!

Wow! How cool! Standing together...

The Earth's greatest defenders.

Not quite... That didn't stop him...

Just slowed him down a little...

I think he'll be coming back soon...

Y-You sure?

Mm-hmm...

[YAJIROBE] See ya, Goku!

Looks like you got it all under control!

[VEGETA grunting]

[VEGETA growling]

[VEGETA] Aaagh!

Why?! Why is his power superior to mine?!

I am the most powerful Saiyan in the universe!

He should be kneeling before me, begging for mercy!

[VEGETA growling]

[VEGETA panting]

Wait a minute... Kakarot doesn't have a tail,

which means there's no way he can transform! I've got him!

Heh, ha, ha, ha!

I'll change into the giant ape and crush him where he stands!

I hate him for forcing me to do this!

That form is meant to level civilizations

and destroy planets, and now I'm using it

to wipe out one stubborn, little insect... How repugnant!

All I need is the light from this planet's moon

for this transformation to take place...

But where is it?

The moon should be out by now...

[KING KAI thinking] He can look for it all he wants,

but he won't find it...

The Earth doesn't have a moon anymore!

Piccolo destroyed the moon,

fearing and anticipating this very situation.

But it doesn't matter,

because Goku has used up all of his energy.

Ape or no ape, he's in no shape to face anyone!

If he can't regain his strength in time,

his only option will be to use the Spirit Bomb!

If he can manage to pull one together

and blast it at Vegeta,

he might just make it out of this alive...

[GOKU thinking] I know he's up there somewhere...

But what's he doing?

I'm sure he's regained enough strength by now...

Why hasn't he come back to attack me?

He's up to something... I've got to be careful.

[VEGETA] Oh, come on! What have they done with it?

It's a moon... It's not like you can hide it anywhere!

It can only mean one thing...

Someone on this stinking planet had enough foresight

to know that I would need it,

and they've destroyed it to prevent my transformation...

No matter...

We Saiyans have encountered this problem before,

and devised a way to deal with it...

They haven't stopped me,

they've only delayed the inevitable!

[VEGETA laughing]

Come on! I'm ready...

[thinking] I've only got one shot...

The Spirit Bomb!

I just hope I still have the strength to do it...

[VEGETA] So, Kakarot...

You think you can outsmart me?

Destroying the moon won't stop anything!

Moon? What about the moon?

Don't play innocent with me, Kakarot!

Just know that your efforts were in vain

because I don't need the moon to complete my transformation!

Transformation?

[VEGETA] The moon merely reflects the rays of the sun!

But as they're being reflected...

A new energy called Blutz Wave is created

and added to their composition.

These waves cause the transformation,

not the moonlight by itself, as you may have believed...

What is he talking about?

[VEGETA] Although moonlight is a natural source of

Blutz Wave power, it is not the only way to form this energy...

There is another way...

[VEGETA] We Saiyans realized that we were at the mercy

of the moonlight on whatever planet we were on,

unable to control the length of day or night.

It was completely unpredictable,

and held our power at a disadvantage...

Until we discovered a way

to artificially create our own moonlight!

[VEGETA laughing]

[VEGETA] By channeling the energy from within ourselves

and combining it with the planet's atmosphere...

We can make a synthetic moon, complete with Blutz Waves,

anytime and anywhere we want to!

As soon as I release this into the sky,

the transformation will begin,

and there's nothing you can do about it!

[VEGETA laughing]

Uuraagh!

Oh, no!

Ahh... Aaah!

[VEGETA] Bear witness to the ultimate power

of the Saiyans, Kakarot.

The Giant Ape! Destroyer of Planets!

Soon, this world will feel my wrath...

Now, let it begin!

[VEGETA growling]

[VEGETA panting]

[GOKU gasps]

What? No way! I've got a bad feeling about this...

If I don't think of something soon,

I'll have a much bigger problem on my hands...

No! Goku! You can't let him change!

[VEGETA] Yes! Yes! I can feel it!

The power, coursing through my veins, burning inside me!

[VEGETA laughing]

[laughing continues]

[KING KAI whimpering]

Now, it's too late...

[VEGETA snarling]

Eh?

Something's not right...

[APE VEGETA roaring]

[roaring continues]

[roaring]

[GOKU sputtering]

[APE VEGETA roaring]

[NARRATOR] Consumed with rage and fury,

Vegeta has summoned forth the ultimate power from within,

and plans to use it to destroy not only Goku,

but the entire planet!

Will he succeed in his apocalyptic plans?
