[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z!

Kami finally agreed to unite with Piccolo.

No Kami, don't!

[yells]

[NARRATOR] It was a difficult decision to say the least,

but in his wisdom, and in spite of the great personal cost,

Kami chose to do what he felt was best for the earth!

His fusion with Piccolo would be a noble sacrifice,

after which Kami would no longer exist

and Piccolo would be changed forever.

[NARRATOR] Their union complete, Piccolo stood reborn.

Now that Kami's vast knowledge and power

had been added to his own,

Piccolo was no longer his former self.

He had become a Super Namek!

I'll miss you. Good-bye, Kami.

Oh... Please be careful.

No longer am I Kami or Piccolo.

I am the Namek who has long since forgotten his name.

[NARRATOR] While Mr. Popo bade a final reluctant farewell

to his old friend, the new and improved Piccolo

made his way down to the earth,

where beneath a seemingly tranquil surface

a sinister evil laid in wait.

[NARRATOR] His newfound Super Namek powers still untested,

Piccolo has come face to face with the most

diabolical creature ever to walk the earth!

[NARRATOR] The fate of the planet

rests on Piccolo's mighty shoulders!

But is the noble Namek warrior prepared for

what this hideous monster has in store?

The new face of evil has arrived!

Today on Dragon Ball Z!

At last we meet... face to face...

[CREATURE growls lowly]

[PICCOLO] Hmmm?!

[CREATURE growls lowly]

Hey, you gotta help me, please! Help me!

What the...?!

What am I sensing from that thing?!

His... power...

I've sensed it somewhere before!

Please, I beg of you! You have to help me! Please!

Please! I'm in more than a little pain here!

This doesn't look good.

I'm afraid this new monster, it may be too powerful.

[POPO] Even with their strengths combined,

Kami and Piccolo may not be able to win this fight!

[POPO] Oh, Kami...

If there was only something I could do...

[MAN A] C'mon! What're you waiting for?!

Help me!

Listen! I'm the richest man in town

and I'll give you whatever you want!

Here, take this! And there's more where that came from!

[grunts]

Hey! Are you listening?!

You would be wise to let him go.

You've done enough already.

It's time you picked on someone your own size!

[groans, grunts]

Oh, thank you! Here, take my money, all of it!

[MAN A] Oh, you saved my life! I'll give you everything I have!

Oh, thank you!

[yelps]

Hm?!

[groans]

[yells]

[MAN A gasps, groans]

[CREATURE] Now that we've gotten that vermin

out of the way...

You're next, Piccolo.

[gasps]

[PICCOLO] Wh-What did you say?

[growls]

[yells]

This... can't be...! What's going on?!

[CREATURE grunts]

Uuuh? Huh?

Hey, what's eatin' ya, Gohan?

I know it's weird, but I can sense two Piccolos!

Huh? Two Piccolos?

Huh?

--[YAMCHA grunts] --[ROSHI] Hm...

Whoa... He's right...!

[CREATURE chuckles]

What's the matter? You seem afraid, Piccolo.

No! Far from it, in fact!

Now tell me how you know that name!

Well... one might say that we're brothers.

What?!

[laughs]

Ah... Gohan. Are you sensing what I'm sensing?

It's... Frieza...! And his father!

What?! That's ridiculous!

What's going on?

My father and Piccolo... They're in Gingertown...!

And if I didn't know better, I'd say Frieza was with them!

Frieza... He's here with his father...?

But that's madness!

No... I sense it too!

But... that's impossible!

I thought Trunks destroyed Frieza and his father!

Yeah, well so did I!

Me too! But it feels like

they're both alive and well in Gingertown!

Uh. Uuh!

--[YAMCHA] Ah! --[KRILLIN gasps]

[KRILLIN] Holy cow... Do you guys feel that?

It's... Goku!

Yeah! He's there too!

[grunts]

But my dad's still here sleeping!

[ALL gasp]

I'm nearing section 1051.

That's close to where we found that weird creature's shell...

and Gingertown!

Now, if you think you've finished showing off...

I want answers. Who are you?

[grunts]

[CREATURE] Silly Piccolo...

My secrets will not be unlocked so easily.

[grunts]

No matter. I'll still destroy you...

[PICCOLO] whoever you are.

[CREATURE] You're even more amusing than I imagined.

Heh.

Well, we'll see if you still feel that way

after I've beaten you.

[CREATURE chuckles]

Such a fighter's spirit!

I will enjoy absorbing you, Piccolo.

[PICCOLO] You keep using that name.

It seems you've mistaken me for someone else.

[grunts] So...

[PICCOLO] Allow me to introduce myself!

[PICCOLO grunts, groans]

[grunts, growls]

[PICCOLO] The Piccolo that you know is gone.

[grunts]

I am "The Namek!"

[PICCOLO] And as for you... well...

You're history!

Hm?!

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[PICCOLO grunts]

[chuckles]

I'm impressed, Namek!

[CREATURE] Your power is astounding!

I'm sure you will prove to be a most satisfying meal!

Don't count on it!

Oh good. I'm glad I found you.

We've been sensing all sorts of weirdness

coming from Gingertown,

and we thought you might need some help.

Thanks. I was sort of thinking the same thing.

I'm not really sure what to make of any of this.

Wait a sec... Something's happening!

Yeah. I noticed it a minute ago.

[TRUNKS] It's a huge power level...

but I can't tell whose it is!

[laughing]

I think it's Piccolo!

[KRILLIN] Ha-ha! He did it! Yeah!

What did he do?

Must've been something pretty radical

if he's changed this much.

That's right, Trunks! He's united with Kami!

[TRUNKS] United? Wait... You told me about this before!

You said that Piccolo and Kami were originally one being,

and that if they ever reunited they'd be

even stronger than a Super Saiyan!

Yep, that's right. Piccolo's become a Super Namek!

Super Namek...

His power level must be amazing!

[PICCOLO grunting]

You know, you've made one critical mistake.

You never should have emptied this city

of its entire population!

Why is that?

[PICCOLO] Because as long as there are

no innocent bystanders to get in the way,

I'm free to fight you with the best of my ability!

[CREATURE] So what's stopping you?

[PICCOLO] You know, that's a really good question!

[CREATURE] Hmmm?

[grunting]

[grunts]

[yelling]

[PICCOLO grunts, yells]

[CREATURE yells]

[gasps]

Well, it looks like the battle's started!

[KRILLIN] Yeah, no kidding!

I sure hope Piccolo wasn't on the wrong end of that blast!

[tires screech]

[birds chirpping]

Hmmm.

[ANDROID 18] What was that?

[ANDROID 17] It felt like some sort of an explosion.

And a big one, too. I wonder what it was.

It was much too far away to tell where it came from.

[car door opens]

[ANDROID 16] It came from Gingertown.

[ANDROID 17 and 18] Hm?

[ANDROID 16] Two enormous powers are fighting there.

Hm...

[ANDROID 17] You mean your sensors can detect power levels?

Why didn't you tell us that before?

Because you did not ask!

All right. Fair enough.

Now I don't suppose you can tell me

who it is that's fighting, can you?

[ANDROID 16] No, I cannot.

I do not recognize either of these powers.

My sensors indicate that one of the fighters

is just as strong as you, 17.

What's that?

[ANDROID 16] My sensors indicate that--

Quiet! I heard what you said quite clearly the first time.

Your "sensors" must be malfunctioning!

Nobody is as strong as I am.

I'm the most powerful fighter there is!

[ANDROID 17 scoffs] Really! "As strong as I am!"

[car door slams shut]

[ANDROID 18] Let's go, 16.

[CREATURE groans]

Hmmm?

[grunts]

[groans]

[CREATURE yells]

[growls lowly]

[CREATURE chuckles]

[CREATURE] Special Beam Cannon!

[PICCOLO grunts]

He's good...

[CREATURE yells]

[CREATURE yells]

[PICCOLO yells]

[CREATURE] Huh? Ah...!

[grunts]

[PICCOLO grunts]

I must admit...

You're a lot stronger than I gave you credit for.

But don't let that go to your head.

[laughs]

You have yet to see my true strength.

I was not able to gather enough energy in this city

to reach my full power.

Your full power?

Ah huh...

Ugh! Monster!

That's why you absorbed all those innocent people!

[chuckles] Yes.

It is their living energy that gives me my power!

[grunting]

Who are you?! What kind of a twisted mind

would think to send you here in that time machine?

Huh?

[PICCOLO] Answer me!

[laughs]

I came here of my own accord!

Huh?

[CREATURE] The time capsule was much too small for me

to fit inside while in my present state.

I was forced to regress to my larval form

and enclose myself within an egg.

Pretty ingenious, don't you think?

[CREATURE] Yes. You seem to know much, Piccolo.

But there is still much for you to learn!

Uh...?

[laughs]

[gasps]

[growls lowly]

[gasps]

Oh man... What's going on down there?

I... I'm sensing Goku again!

Ah...

[CREATURE] Ka...

Me...

[CREATURE] Ha...

Me...

It... can't be!

[grunts]

Fa-Father...?

[stammers]

No! What's going on?!

Haaaa!
