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

The battle against Vegeta

had become a pure test of will for Goku,

as he desperately sought to match

the ever-increasing power of his Saiyan foe.

[NARRATOR] Struggling under the weight of Vegeta's

Gallic Gun attack, Goku was forced to take his

Kaio-Ken Attack up one more level,

sending the dumbfounded Vegeta hurtling toward

the edge of the atmosphere.

Raaugh! Noo!

[NARRATOR] Battered but not broken,

Vegeta returned vowing to show Goku

the ultimate power of the Saiyans...

A transformation of unbelievable proportions.

[NARRATOR] As Vegeta's transformation nears completion,

Goku can only stand by and watch.

With his strength all but gone,

will Goku have anything left to fend off

this supreme Saiyan Monster?

Don't miss the action... Today!

We're almost to Kame House, Gohan.

You can make it, c'mon.

Yeah. I can tell we're getting closer now, Krillin.

[KRILLIN chuckles]

Huh?

[GOHAN] Hey, don't slow down now, Krillin.

We're almost there.

[KRILLIN] I don't remember that light being there before...

Look! Gohan!

Uh--Huh?

What is that, Krillin? Is that the moon?

No, Piccolo completely destroyed the moon...

I have no idea what it is.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

[GOHAN] That's where my Dad is!

[KRILLIN and GOHAN yell]

[APE VEGETA roaring]

What's... What's happening?

He's totally changed.

How am I supposed to fight a giant ape?

[KRILLIN] Something really big is happening right now!

[GOHAN] Yeah, I feel it, too.

But, I don't think that energy is coming from my dad, Krillin.

No, this is definitely coming from the other guy.

But Goku will know what to do against

a force like this. I wish I could help.

[GOHAN whimpering]

[GOHAN] D... Daddy...

[KRILLIN] He'll be all right.

I... don't think so.

[KRILLIN] Your dad is stronger than you think.

[GOHAN] Krillin... I have to go back to him.

Stop!

[KRILLIN] There isn't anything that you could do.

[GOHAN] I can feel it... My Dad needs my help...

If I don't go back my he's going to lose.

I can't leave him.

But, what is it you think you can do to help?

[GOHAN] I don't know... But I have to try.

I can't just sit around waiting to find out what happens.

Try not to worry... Goku can handle himself.

Don't you remember what he did to that big guy?

He couldn't even stand up

when your dad was finished with him.

Yeah... But something's...

[GOHAN whimpering]

...not right!

I'm going to go help him no matter what!

Gohan! Wait!

You can't go alone!

[APE VEGETA] Goodbye, Kakarot!

[APE VEGETA roaring]

Raaugh!

[APE VEGETA laughing]

Go ahead and run...

because you can't hide. Heh, heh.

[APE VEGETA laughing]

This guy's really fast!

[APE VEGETA roaring]

His new form seems familiar to me.

[APE VEGETA laughing]

If you had known what you were capable of,

you would have never let them take your tail!

But now it is I who will show you the true Saiyan might!

[APE VEGETA roars]

Aah!

[GRANDPA GOHAN] Goku, on the night of a full moon,

a giant monster-ape comes out

and does truly terrible things... You must beware.

We could take this awful power from him now,

but some day he will know the truth...

It will always be part of who he is...

[APE GOKU roaring]

[thinking] I think I'm finally beginning to understand.

[thinking] The giant monster my Grandpa warned me about...

It was me!

[APE VEGETA chuckling]

Yes, I get it now.

I'm the one who destroyed the stadium

at the World Tournament,

and I'm the one who... who-who crushed my Grandpa!

[thinking] Why didn't anyone tell me?

All these years... Master Roshi and the others,

they must have known the truth,

must have seen me transform into this... thing.

[thinking] I'm sorry, Grandpa.

I don't know if there's any way I can make it up to you...

But I'm gonna try!

Hyaah!

[APE VEGETA growling]

[YAJIROBE] What's going on here? Oh, man...

I... I think maybe I should help Goku.

Yeah, if I can come from behind...

But, probably I should wait... I need to plan this out.

There's just one way to stop him...

The power of the Spirit Bomb!

I just hope there's enough time!

[KING KAI] Goku!

His only option will be 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.

Aah!

[APE VEGETA roaring]

Now, Kaio-Ken attack!

[APE VEGETA laughing]

[APE VEGETA] You think you can outmaneuver me?

Come on! You can do better than that!

[BABA] This is bad!

[ROSHI] Oh no, is it Goku?

[BABA] Yes, but the image isn't clear...

What is it, Roshi?

[CHICHI] What happened?

[BABA] I saw a bright light.

Did you see them?

[BABA] Goku's power must have increased... Wait...

But, that means Goku must've won, right?

[BABA] Please wait...

[ALL] Goku!

Ohh, is he okay?

He'd better be...

Well, he's not dead yet.

I wonder what could have happened to him.

Oh no! Look at the Saiyan!

It's incredible. How did he transform without the moon?!

What's wrong with Goku? He isn't fighting!

Why is he just laying there like that?!

Tell me what happened to him!

Tell me what happened to my Goku now!

Oh, Spirits hear me as I wail,

show the Saiyan with no tail...

[BABA] It's coming through.

Perhaps this new angle will show us what we need to know.

[BULMA] Hey... Who is that sitting down there?

Is that Yajirobe?

[BULMA] Yajirobe! What are you doing?

Why aren't you trying to help Goku?!

Rrgh! He can't hear us!

Ohh! Hey!

Oh, Goku...

ChiChi!

[thinking] Hold on, Dad. We're coming as fast as we can.

[thinking] Gohan sure is determined.

He's becoming more like his dad every day.

Guh!

[APE VEGETA laughing]

Don't you think it's time to give up, Kakarot?

You're finished!

He's incredibly fast for someone so big.

I don't have the time I need to concentrate

so I can form the Spirit Bomb.

Even if the Kaio-Ken Attack was ten times stronger,

I still couldn't defeat him!

So, you won't attack me, huh? Fine, then I'll attack you!

I have to have at least ten more seconds.

I need that time to concentrate.

[APE VEGETA roaring]

[roaring continues]

[GOKU] Huh? The sun... Yes, that's it!

[GOKU] Just one more look over here...

Solar Flare!

[APE VEGETA yelling]

Now's my chance. I have to put some distance between us!

[APE VEGETA] Aaah! My eyes! My eyes!

[APE VEGETA moaning]

This should be far enough... I hope.

[GOKU] Fine, here we go. The rivers. The trees. The wind.

All the living things in nature...

Please offer me your energy!

I ask of you... Please!

[APE VEGETA howling]

I can't see! Curse you, Kakarot!

Aargh!

[thinking] I have to take my time

or it won't be formed right...

I have to relax...

[YAJIROBE] I guess he doesn't need me yet.

[GOKU thinking] I almost have enough...

The power is coming to me...

I can feel all of it completely surrounding me...

Just a little bit more...

[thinking] This is it... This is my chance...

Now, while he's still recovering...

I only have one shot at this...

I have to make it count.

Where is he? Where is he?

[APE VEGETA] You can run all you want, Kakarot!

But I will find you! Do you hear me?!

[APE VEGETA growling]

[APE VEGETA howling]

[thinking] Come on, Spirit Bomb! I need to hurry!

[APE VEGETA] I can feel his power. Where is he?

Rrgh!

[thinking] Here it comes, alright,

I feel it getting closer now...

There. It's done...

If this won't stop him, then nothing will.

[APE VEGETA roaring]

Got it!

[roaring continues]

Nghaah!

[GOKU growling]

[GOKU] Wooaah!

[YAJIROBE yelling]

Look... Look over there!

[KRILLIN] Hey, isn't that blast about where Goku is?

[GOHAN] Hurry, Krillin!

There's no telling what's going on down there!

[APE VEGETA chuckling]

[APE VEGETA] Well, I guess that does it for the great hero

of this puny little planet.

Pity, I was just beginning to enjoy the challenge.

[chuckling]

Huh?!

[GOKU grunting]

[grunting continues]

I never thought that he would counter attack that way.

Boy, what a mistake that was.

I only needed just a few more seconds

and he would've been gone for good.

Okay, that does it. I've given you too many chances...

That was your last.

Wow, my body feels so weak I can barely stand up...

I must have used up all my power

trying to draw in that energy.

Aww... You look so scared...

Let me put you out of your misery, once and for all!

[APE VEGETA roaring]

[APE VEGETA roaring]

[GOKU screaming]

It feels like someone's power is starting to fade.

Yes, my Daddy's.

[KRILLIN] We're close. Let's hurry!

[GOKU screaming, APE VEGETA laughing]

[GOKU screaming]

[GOKU moaning]

Whoops. Sorry about that.

Apparently I've accidentally squashed both of your legs.

[APE VEGETA laughing]

I guess that means you can't run from me any more now.

I have to admit, you've been an interesting challenge, Kakarot.

But in your heart, you must have known

it would end this way.

I just can't believe this is it.

It was great testing my abilities and all,

but unless I do something fast...

He'll overpower me. Alright then...

[APE VEGETA laughing]

[APE VEGETA roaring]

[GOKU] Hrrgh!

Aargh!

[APE VEGETA wailing]

That was my last bit of energy...

I have no more power to defend myself against this monster.

I hope it buys me some time.

[APE VEGETA moaning]

Damn you! What have you done to my face, Kakarot?!

Now you're going to pay!

[GOKU grunting]

[APE VEGETA] I'll destroy you!

[APE VEGETA roaring]

[GOKU screaming]

[screaming continues]

[NARRATOR] Unable to defend himself,

Goku is now caught in the paralyzing grip

of the monster Vegeta.

Is there anything that can save our hero from certain doom?
