[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

our heroes' worst fears were realized

when Cell absorbed Android 17 into his being.

Fueled by this union,

Cell underwent a mighty transformation,

moving him one step closer to his final terrifying form.

[CELL] Ahh, yes! This is much nicer!

How exhilarating!

[NARRATOR] The reformed Cell was certainly a sight to behold.

But what sort of horrifying new power

accompanied this shocking new appearance?

[CELL] Ah, a new look! Much more comely than the last!

Merging with 18 should have a similar effect.

[CELL] I can't wait!

[CELL chuckles]

[NARRATOR] Bulging in his new body,

Cell was able to quickly overcome the ox-like 16.

[ANDROID 18] Look what you've done.

You're a monster!

[NARRATOR] It seemed no one could stop Cell

from absorbing Android 18 and reaching his completion.

[CELL] My dear android,

when will you understand that you belong to me?

[NARRATOR] Then, in a daredevil move,

Tien ambushed Cell with a bold new attack!

But how long can he keep it up?!

Find out today on Dragon Ball Z!

[CELL] When I get out of here I will make you pay!

[CELL growls]

[TIEN growls]

[CELL growls]

[TIEN yells]

[CELL shouts]

[TIEN yells]

[CELL grunting]

[grunting continues]

[TIEN yelling]

[TIEN] What are you two waiting for?!

Get out of here now!

Hurry, before it's too late!

Go! Now!

Come on, 16! This is our only chance!

Yes... We should...

[CELL grunting]

[TIEN yelling]

[CELL yelling]

[TIEN yelling]

[ANDROID 18] Come on, 16! Come on! We have to go!

[CELL shouting]

[CELL growls]

No! They can't escape!

[CELL snarls]

[TIEN yells]

[CELL grunts]

Stop that!

Yeah! In your dreams!

[TIEN yells]

[CELL grunting]

[TIEN yelling]

Man! How long can Tien keep fighting?

He's strong... But Cell is stronger.

Tien will not be able to last much longer.

His life force is slipping away.

He must stop.

Or, the next energy blast he fires could be his last!

No! I won't let that happen!

All we need is some more time!

[GOKU growls]

It's up to me now.

I must stop Cell.

I can't give up! No!

[TIEN growls]

[CELL yells]

Is something wrong, Yamcha?

Yeah, I'm worried about Tien.

[CHIAOTZU] I'm worried about him too, Yamcha.

[CHIAOTZU] He's in trouble.

Chiaotzu? You're back!

Please... Do something... Please, save Tien...

[ROSHI] I'm sorry, Chiaotzu. Tien is on his own right now.

We can't save him, even though we want too. Believe me...

[CHICHI] What are you talking about?

Shame on you! You can't give up.

You know Goku would never do a thing like that.

When he and Gohan finish their training,

they're gonna bash that monster good!

[YAMCHA] Yeah, right. I guess it's not over yet...

I hope Tien can hang on.

He's alone.

Chiaotzu, let's go!

Yes! I'm ready!

[ROSHI] Wait a minute!

I'm well aware that Tien means a lot to both of you...

But if you get involved now,

you'll only become two more of Cell's victims.

But...

[ROSHI] No! Listen to me...

Do you think that I like

standing around here doing nothing?

ChiChi is correct.

We need Goku's help!

You must stay here!

Rats!

Tien... stay alive...

Goku...

[TIEN yelling]

[CELL grunting]

[TIEN] These blasts are... taking everything from me...

But I must go on...

Just a little longer...

[CELL growls]

[CELL growls]

[TIEN growls]

[yelling]

[CELL growls]

[CELL grunts]

[GOKU growls]

[GOKU gasps]

[YAMCHA gasps]

No! Tien!

[CELL] Curses! 18 has managed to escape my sight!

[CELL] All because of that insolent meddler!

[TIEN groans]

You puny man...

Now you realize how pointless it is

to try to stop the inevitable.

[TIEN grunts]

Ah... Tien has given out.

[GOHAN growls]

Dad... We've got to help him!

I... know!

[GOKU growls]

[CELL] Hmmm...

Rrgh! I can't believe such a weakling held me back!

[TIEN groans softly]

It's almost too embarrassing to take.

I'll squash him!

[GOKU gasps]

Where'd... he go?

[CELL] Hmm?

It's Goku!

[GOKU] Why don't you back off and leave my friend alone?

So you're Goku.

And I take it you're Cell.

Well, Goku, it's so nice to meet you.

Yeah, I bet.

So you can add another head over your mantle, right?

[CELL chuckles]

I'd really like to teach you a lesson...

But I need one more day before I'm strong enough

to go up against you.

And I'll make you pay, Cell!

Your days of terrorizing the Earth will be finished for good!

[CELL laughs]

[CELL] Here I've always wondered what it would be like

to face the legendary Goku.

And all you have to say is "see you tomorrow"?

How disappointing. From all I've heard,

I never would have pegged you as a coward...

[thinking] I sense Piccolo! He's alive!

Hold on, Piccolo!

I'll be there in just a second!

What?!

Hang in there. Everything's going to be okay now, Tien.

Thanks, Goku...

Huh?

[CELL] Clever trick! But they didn't get very far!

Piccolo!

Hey, Piccolo, are you okay?

Huh? What's this? How could he still be living?

I was too careless...

Just hang in there, guys! I'll take care of the both of you.

I'll get you some of Korin's Senzu beans

the minute we get back to Kami's place!

[TIEN groans]

No, Goku. We will fight right now!

[GOKU gasps]

They disappeared?!

Where did they go this time?

That's quite a move! I must find out how he does that!

Well, that will be the last time that they will get away from me!

I'll deal with them soon, but finding Android 18

is much more important to me right now.

[GOHAN] Piccolo!

[GOHAN] Are they okay, Dad?

Yes, Son, but they both need a Senzu bean right away!

[GOHAN] Okay!

Huh?

I wonder what that is...

Hey, it's Bulma!

[BABY TRUNKS babbles]

What? What is it, Trunks? Are you hungry?

Krill-oo! Krill-oo!

What? Krillin?

Where? I-I don't see him yet.

[KRILLIN laughing]

[BULMA gasps]

That's him alright!

Yay, Trunks! Good call! What a smart boy you are!

You're a real genius, just like your mom!

Okay. Should we see what he wants, huh?

[KRILLIN] Hey, Bulma!

Listen, I really need that remote control

to stop those androids, okay?

[BULMA] Sure, Krillin. But be careful.

I put a lot of work into it.

Wow. So this little thing will stop them, huh?

Now you'll have to get within 10 meters of the androids

to be in range.

Any farther away and it won't work.

Huh? Uh... 10 meters?

[KRILLIN gulps]

Gee, don't you think that's kind of close?

Don't complain! You're lucky you have that thing at all!

Uh... yeah, of course.

I'll try to keep that in mind.

[BULMA] Well, you better!

[KRILLIN] Hey, what have you got there?

I got everyone a combat suit just like Vegeta's.

This one is for you.

It's very comfortable. And of course, durable!

[KRILLIN] Thanks, Bulma, We're gonna need those.

Hey, Goku, Gohan, Trunks, and Vegeta

are training at Kami's place right now.

Could you take their suits to them?

[BULMA] Kami's place?

Wow! That's above Korin's Tower isn't it?

[KRILLIN] Yeah, that's right. Think you can do it?

Okay! I'll go to Kami's.

But you take that remote

and shut down those androids for good!

Sure thing.

[BULMA] Okay... Say "bye-bye" to Krillin, little Trunks!

[BABY TRUNKS babbles]

Adios, little guy.

[KRILLIN laughs]

[KRILLIN chuckles]

[KRILLIN thinking] Guess it's in my hands now...

I hope this thing works.

[CELL growls]

So, they think they have escaped me? They are mistaken.

[ANDROID 18] 17... I can't believe you're gone...

I guess those Senzu beans did the trick.

You look like you're feeling a lot better.

You bet! And I thought I was gone for good this time.

Next time, Tien, don't try to do everything by yourself!

You had us all really worried about you, Tien.

But that was really cool how you stopped Cell

from absorbing that other android!

I don't know if I could have done that.

[PICCOLO] It was an honorable move, Tien.

But let's remember: it still wasn't enough!

It's going to take a force much stronger than all of us

to defeat Cell now!

Think about it.

Not one of us... can take that guy down.

Not even you, Goku...

We're going to need something... more...

[MR. POPO] Goku!

Huh?

Come quick!

Vegeta and Trunks are coming out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!

'Bout time!

[MR. POPO] I heard strange sounds

coming from inside the chamber.

I believe their time is up!

[NARRATOR] At long last, the moment of truth has arrived!

After a year of unseen training,

Trunks and Vegeta have emerged

from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber!

But do these hardened Saiyans possess the strength

necessary to defeat the most terrible villain

ever to threaten the Earth?

Stay tuned for scenes from the next explosive episode

of Dragon Ball Z!
