[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

Krillin was spared a three-fisted face lift

when the trio of evil androids

decided to go after larger prey-- Goku!

And it looks like Vegeta's ego will take a long time to heal.

[VEGETA] No one makes a fool of me! They'll pay for this!

They should have finished me off when they had the chance,

because I will show them no mercy!

[NARRATOR] It seems Piccolo has turned his back on his friends,

just when they need his help the most.

[PICCOLO] I'm leaving,

and anyone who tries to follow me will be sorry!

Don't worry, guys.

Piccolo just has a lot on his mind...

He's still one of the good guys!

Piccolo has gone to Kami's place

to join with him again!

Together, they'll be an unstoppable force...

...a Super Namek!

[NARRATOR] The androids must be stopped before it's too late.

But can Piccolo convince Kami to make the ultimate sacrifice?

FInd out today!

[PICCOLO thinking] I know Kami senses something is wrong...

Why doesn't he say something?

[KAMI thinking] Things must be more serious than I thought.

Uh? Kami...?

This isn't a social call it's business! I think you know that.

Yes, I know...

Of course, I do.

The bond we share is of the mind as well as the body, remember?

I know exactly what's on your mind, Piccolo.

Hmph! Good! That saves me some time.

What an unexpected honor this is.

I never thought that you and I would ever be united again.

Stop smiling!

I'm not doing this because I want too.

It's because I need our combined powers. That's all.

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure how

I'm going to tolerate being so close to you.

Your mere presence sickens me!

Oh... Kami!

[PICCOLO] Trust me, I'd have preferred it

if I never had to look at you again!

[KAMI growls]

[KAMI thinking] Piccolo's attitude angers me,

but I can't blame him...

He is a part of me.

I have watched him fight

one formidable enemy after another...

And he has beaten the odds every time.

[PICCOLO yells]

No! You can't!

[PICCOLO yells]

[RADITZ yells]

[GOKU & RADITZ grunt]

[NAPPA yells]

[GOHAN yells]

[PICCOLO yells]

Yes... unite with me, Piccolo...

[PICCOLO grunts]

[KAMI] My power is nothing compared to Piccolo's...

He has developed strength and abilities

far greater than I could have ever imagined.

[KAMI] Perhaps my time

as guardian of Earth has come to an end.

No, Kami! You are still needed...

The people of Earth still need you to watch over them.

[KAMI] You are too kind, Mr. Popo...

but I must act for the good of the Earth.

This is about the continuing struggle

for power between the forces of good and evil.

And the danger that looms over us now

poses a greater threat

than anything we have faced in the past.

Even Vegeta with all of his strength,

was no match for these androids.

[KAMI] Super Saiyan or not,

he was tossed aside like a rag doll!

These androids will be difficult to beat.

Even if Goku recovers from his illness,

he will provide little resistance

against these powerful new foes.

In our combined form, Piccolo may be the only one

strong enough to win this fight!

We agree.

The force that threatens Earth is bigger than both of us.

But at least when our powers are united

we still stand a chance.

And no matter how slim that chance is, we must take it!

[KAMI] Hold on...

I haven't agreed to anything yet!

Time may still be on our side.

Listen, I would like to let things

play out further before I make my decision.

You want to see how things play out?!

Have you lost your mind?!

[KAMI] Silence! Sometimes things are not always

what they appear to be, Piccolo.

[PICCOLO growls]

[KAMI] And I am not entirely convinced

that the aim of these androids is to destroy the Earth.

Is this a joke?!

You've sat here and watched

everything that's gone on below

and you're still going to let it continue?!

Don't you remember what Trunks said?!

The future will be destroyed by these androids!

Yes, but Trunks made a mistake.

He told you that the androids you encountered today

are not the same ones that he fought in the future.

[PICCOLO chuckles]

Yeah, right. And these androids are a real great bunch of guys

once you get to know them.

I'm serious.

I know you may not agree with me,

all I'm saying is I still need more time to make up my mind.

[PICCOLO] Have it your way!

You're scared! I know...

[PICCOLO] If you need time then take it.

I'll be waiting right here.

Hmph.

You can wait as long as you want.

But remember, the clock is ticking.

Hey, Krillin!

[KRILLIN] Yeah?

I think I'm going to go pick up Chiaotzu

so we can get back to training.

Sure! Sounds good!

As soon as things get dicey again,

we'll be there to help!

Although, I'm not sure how much good we'll do.

Okay, go get Chiaotzu and meet up with us later.

We're going to move Goku over to Master Roshi's house.

That should buy us all a little bit more time.

Yeah, that's a good idea, but...

Be careful.

And take care of Goku!

[KRILLIN] We will.

Good luck, Tien!

We'll need it... That's for sure.

Hope we're not too late.

[TRUNKS] I don't know why the future I predicted

changed so much...

The androids I fought weren't as powerful

and there were only two of them.

I don't get it!

It doesn't matter now...

If we don't get out of this mess soon,

we're all gonna be history.

[birds chirping]

[CHICHI] I think the worst is over now, Yamcha.

Don't you?

[YAMCHA] Yeah... Let's hope so!

[GOKU grunts softly]

[ANDROID 17] 18, check it out. Looks like we found some wheels.

[ANDROID 18] It's about time. Let's take it for a spin.

[ANDROID 17] All right!

But let me take care of the driving.

Okay.

[MAN A] Whoa! This coffee doesn't look very fresh to me.

[MAN B] Well, it's not!

It's older than my mother-in-law!

[MAN A chuckles]

[MAN A slurps]

[gasps]

Let's clear this out and make more room.

[MAN A] Hey, pal! Get away from there!

Right now!

[ANDROID 16 grunts]

[MAN A gasps]

[ANDROID 16 grunts]

[engine starts]

Right. We're all set.

Now let's go find Goku.

Step on it. Come on, let's go!

[ANDROID 17] Quiet now, or I'll make you ride in the back.

[MAN A] Well, say... something...

[MAN B] Something...

[VEGETA growls]

[VEGETA yells]

[VEGETA] Wait till I get my hands on those androids!

[VEGETA growls]

I will prove once and for all that I am

the strongest warrior in the universe! It is my destiny!

[BIKERS laughing]

[motorcycles roaring]

Hey! You! Get moving!

You're in my way!

Hey, hey, hey!

[BIKER A laughs]

[BIKERS laughing]

[BIKER B] Hey, babe! Why don't you ride with us?!

Come on! Take a ride with the Toad Warriors!

It'll be fun! I promise!

Hear that?

Yeah, this should be interesting.

[BIKER C laughing]

[BIKER C yells]

[tires squealing]

[BIKERS screaming]

[BIKER A] Heads up!

That's it!

Nobody messes with the Toad Warriors and gets away with it!

Let's get 'em!

[BIKERS cheering]

[BIKER D screams]

[RINGS] Oooh!

These chumps are gonna pay for that!

[ANDROID 17] Why don't you take a new outfit

from one of these goons, 18?

No. Theere's nothing in my size.

[ANDROID 17] Hmph. Picky.

[BIKERS laughing]

[BIKER A] Yipee! Ha, ha, ha!

[tires squealing

[train horn blaring]

[BIKERS yelling]

[BIKER E screaming]

[train horn honking]

[BIKERS gasp]

[train horn honking]

[BIKERS panting]

After them!

[ANDROID 17] Impressive... They still haven't given up.

[BIKER B] This'll fix ya.

[BIKER E laughs]

[ANDROID 17 growls]

They want to play chicken.

Play chicken... heh!

[BIKER E laughs]

[BIKER E screams]

Huh? You're dead!

[BIKER A yells]

There! You like your haircut?!

[BIKERS gasp]

[BIKERS scream]

[sirens wailing]

Rats! If the cops weren't coming

we'd have you guys for lunch!

[BIKERS scream]

[sirens wailing]

[SHERIFF] Secure the perimeter, deputy!

[DEPUTY] Yes sir!

[SHERIFF] Let's round up these hooligans!

[DEPUTY] It looks like the rest of their gang got away, sir!

[SHERIFF] That's okay!

I've got the ring leaders right here!

Hey! Whoever's in the van! Come out now!

[DEPUTY stammering]

Y-Y-Yuh, uh... You are under arrest!

That's not good...

Sir! He broke my handcuffs!

Shall I take this one?

[ANDROID 17] Be my guest.

Now... Pay attention.

I'm only going to do this once.

Hey! Hold it!

[SHERIFF whimpers]

There.

[ANDROID 17 chuckles]

[ANDROID 18 giggles]

[SHERIFF] Stop in the name of the... law?

Follow me! We're close to Goku's house!

Hold it... Trunks...

Just one question.

Huh?

Uh... The androids... Are they... Uh...

Really as terrible as you say they are?

They're ruthless and cold-blooded.

I've told you that before, Krillin.

Why even ask?

[KRILLIN wail]

Hey! I was just hoping that we wouldn't all have to fight!

Really, that's all, man!

[TRUNKS] Well, hoping doesn't get us anywhere, I'm afraid.

[KRILLIN] I know that! It's just that I... well...

Oh, nevermind.

[KRILLIN whimpers]

Good luck.

Oh, Gohan!

Oh, it's you, Krillin.

[KRILLIN] Nice to see you too, ChiChi...

That hurt...

Well, say hello.

Oh! Hello there.

Oh! Krillin! Hey!

Alright! I'm glad you made it here safe!

And Goku?

[YAMCHA] He's okay... He's sleeping right now.

Hey, welcome back, man!

So if you guys are here,

you must have defeated the androids, right?

[BOTH gasp]

Not yet...

I can't explain now...

But we have to evacuate this place

and transport Goku to Master Roshi's right away!

Huh?

[KRILLIN] We're dealing with a group of androids

that are a thousand times more powerful than any of us!

[CHICHI gasps]

What? We can't stop them?!

[CHICHI] Be careful with him!

[YAMCHA] Boy, I think Goku has packed on a few pounds.

Give him a break. He hasn't been himself lately.

[KRILLIN] Hey, Yamcha, where's Gohan?

[YAMCHA] He should be getting home any time now.

Look! Gohan's back!

Here he comes!

[GOHAN] Hey, what's going on?

[CHICHI] You've come home! Oh, my baby!

I'm so happy to see you!

Uh? Hey what are you guys doing?

No time to talk. On the plane, Gohan!

[thinking] Something's wrong... Something I've missed...

[NARRATOR] Goku is on his way to a safer hiding place

but his trail is warm and the androids are in hot pursuit.

Krillin and the others can only hide him for so long

before they are discovered!

And if that's not enough,

Bulma is about to get a telephone call

that will add a whole new dimension to this crisis.

On the next Dragonball Z!
