[NARRATOR] Last time on DragonBall Z,

Trunks and Cell pushed their powers to incredible new levels.

And you'll be the first to see

the true power of the Saiyan race!

[TRUNKS yells]

[NARRATOR] Trunks beefed up his body and ascended to a

level never before seen on planet Earth.

As his muscles bulged and raw power pumped through his veins,

the sinister android watched silently.

Trunks may have become stronger than Vegeta,

but he hasn't won yet.

[TRUNKS yells]

[NARRATOR] The biggest challenge of Trunks' life

stands before him.

And the Saiyan from the future shows no signs of backing down.

[NARRATOR] After a slew of well-delivered punches,

Trunks proved that he was a force not to be ignored.

With fierce determination, he hammered Cell into the ground.

[NARRATOR] But still, Cell laughed.

[CELL chuckles]

Impressive, I must admit you have exceeded me, Trunks.

At least in the area of brute strength.

And yet you have absolutely no chance of defeating me!

[TRUNKS] Listen to yourself! What kind of logic is that?!

Oh, you'll see...

[CELL chuckles]

[NARRATOR] What could he mean? Find out today!

[TRUNKS growls]

[CELL chuckles]

[TRUNKS growls]

[ANDROID 16 thinking] Where does he get his strength from?

[TRUNKS yells]

[yelling continues]

Not bad, Trunks. But give up. You just can't beat me.

[TRUNKS growls]

[VEGETA grunts]

What's wrong!? Vegeta, are you okay?

[VEGETA grunts]

[KRILLIN] Hang in there.

I gotta find a safe place to set you down.

That island over there will have to do!

[KRILLIN] Vegeta, can you hear me?

Hey, come on... wake up...

Take this. It's a Senzu bean.

Hey, Vegeta! You okay?

[VEGETA] Cell!

[VEGETA growls]

[TRUNKS growls]

[growling continues]

[CELL chuckles]

Trunks... He's so powerful.

He's even stronger than Cell now. It's incredible!

[BULMA] Hey, guys? What's going on?

A little play-by-play for those of us in the cheap seats

would really be appreciated, you know?

Trunks is big and strong, alright?!

Trunks? Oh, of course! I'm so proud of my little boy!

[TRUNKS growls]

[TRUNKS yells]

[CELL chuckles]

[GOKU] Okay, Gohan! When you're ready, show me what you can do!

[GOHAN growls]

[GOHAN thinking] I've got to focus my emotions better!

This has to get easier!

[GOHAN grunts]

[GOKU] Hmm...?

Whoa... He's really starting to get the hang of it.

That's my boy! He's going to be a great warrior someday.

[GOHAN thinking] What is my Dad doing?

He's been just sitting there watching me for days.

I guess he's trying to figure out how to ascend

to the next level.

It must be really tough.

[GOHAN grunts]

[GOHAN sighs]

[GOKU] Gohan, watch me.

[GOKU yells]

[yelling continues]

[GOHAN gasps]

He did it!

[GOHAN] Dad! You did it!

Your power... It's huge! You did it!

You ascended to the next level.

I could go one step further if I wanted to.

[GOKU yells]

[GOHAN whimpers]

Yeah, that's it!

Wow! You're more than a Super Saiyan now! You're the greatest!

Nobody can beat you! I know you can beat Cell!

[GOKU thinking] No, this new form has a weakness.

[TRUNKS growls]

[CELL chuckles]

[CELL] You're too slow, Trunks.

You'll have to do better than that.

Cell! Darn him! I can't hit him. Why can't I hit him?!

[CELL] What a disappointment you are!

You're so pathetic, I can't even test my complete power on you.

What?!

[TRUNKS yells]

[CELL chuckles]

[TRUNK grunts]

[TRUNKS grunts]

[blows landing, TRUNKS grunting]

[CELL] Are you finished yet? Or are you going to get up

and entertain me some more?

[CELL chuckles]

[CELL] Get up or I will put you down permanently!

[CELL chuckles]

That's it!

[TRUNKS growls]

You're wasting your strength!

[TRUNKS grunts]

I told you before, you can't beat me.

[TRUNKS growls]

[TRUNKS snarls]

[TRUNKS thinking] I can't even hit him! I don't understand!

I've powered up so much. Why can't I touch him?

[GOHAN] You can beat Cell! You can! I know you can!

Not in this form, not yet.

What? Why not, Dad?

[GOKU] I know I look like I can, Gohan.

But these bulky muscles make it hard to move fast.

And if I'm going to beat Cell, I can't have anything

slowing me down.

I may have great power,

but what good is it if I can't catch my enemy?

It takes more than brute strength to win a fight.

And transformations waste a lot of energy.

You've been finding that out yourself

when you've turned into a Super Saiyan. It's not easy, right?

Right?!

Right.

[GOKU] We can't afford to waste all that energy.

But at the same time, we need the Super Saiyan power! You see?

Somehow, we have to get to a point where it

feels natural to be a Super Saiyan,

so that we can stay like that all the time!

I want you try being a Super Saiyan for the whole day.

We'll slow down our training until it stops...

feeling so weird...

Yeah! Dad... I'll do the best I can!

Amateur.

[CELL chuckles

You said you'd show me true Saiyan power.

But all that you've done is pump up your little muscles.

And there's nothing special about that.

I could do that too, if I wanted.

[CELL grunts]

[TRUNKS gasps]

[CELL chuckles]

[CELL growls]

[CELL] You see?

It's rather easy to transform and flaunt your powers.

But it's not going to get you anywhere if your opponent

has any sort of speed!

You fool.

Honestly, it's a very simple concept to understand.

Even Vegeta figured it out.

So, why can't you?

Oh, of course! That's why father stopped getting stronger...

He... He could have, but he knew about its limits!

[TRUNKS] And I just kept plowing forward. Like a stupid child...

You can finish me if you want. I've failed.

How very gracious of you.

Hey! How come Trunks' energy suddenly decreased so fast?

It... doesn't make sense... What happened?!

Cell... He's still just as strong!

And now I can't feel Trunks at all...

Oh no... maybe Cell beat him!

[VEGETA] Fine by me, I'll take him!

[KRILLIN] Hey! Wait a minute!

I wait for no one! Now Cell is mine!

But, you're hurt!

[VEGETA] Leave me alone.

[KRILLIN sighs]

What was I thinking?

I mean, it's just no use trying to talk any sense into Vegeta.

Here we go again...

[BABY TRUNKS babbles]

[TIEN whimpers]

[PICCOLO growls]

What's up? Hasn't Trunks put Cell's lights out yet?

It's over!

He did it? Trunks beat him?

No... he means Cell has beaten Trunks.

[BULMA gasps]

This is bad... very bad!

What?! That means he's in danger! Do something!

[CELL] What shall I do with you?

[CELL] Such an interesting predicament.

Both you and Vegeta have disappointed me.

I expected more of a challenge from a pair of Super Saiyans.

However, there is something that I am curious about.

I see you're very strong. How did you become so powerful?

It's hard to believe that you could develop

those fighting skills in such a short time.

Tell me... how did you do it?

What is the secret of your power?

[CELL] Don't want to talk? Well, let me ask you this...

If you had more time, could you get stronger?

[TRUNKS] Huh?!

Could you?

Maybe! What difference does it make now?!

And why would you even want to know?

[CELL chuckles]

Oh, just curious that's all.

One more question: Where has Goku been?

And where has he been hiding?

For your information, he's training to defeat you.

And make no mistake Cell, he will be the one who beats you!

He'll take you, no contest!

No contest? Then, a tournament!

What do you mean?

[PICCOLO] What? No! I don't believe it!

[BULMA] What happened? Is Trunks alright?

Yeah, for now! Cell is planning some kind of tournament!

[ALL gasp]

A tournament...?

[CELL chuckles]

[CELL] The tournament will begin in 10 days...

And onsider yourself lucky that I am giving you a second chance.

But, what are you talking about?

You really don't know, do you?

Long before we ever existed, there was a competition

on this planet called the "World Martial Arts Tournament."

I'm going to revive it

and prove once and for all that I have no equal.

Each member of your team may challenge me.

I will fight them one-on-one, and when I win...

I'll face the next challenger on your team.

Do you understand? Bring me all the opponents you can.

The more fighters you bring...

the more chances you'll have to survive!

[CELL] I have yet to decide a location of the tournament,

so keep an eye on your television for details.

[TRUNKS] The television?

It should be very entertaining.

[CELL chuckles]

Alright. Oh, and make sure you bring plenty

of those Senzu beans.

Wait, tell me! What is the real purpose of this tournament?

What are you really going to do?!

Cell... I know what you Androids are like!

I'm sure this is some sort of a trick.

Just a trap to get us all in one place, right?!

[CELL] Oh, must you always treat everything

like it's the end of the world?

There is no secret purpose.

I simply want to get as much out of this planet as I can,

before I destroy it!

I have proven that I am unstoppable.

Neither you or your friends are any threat to me now.

However, there is one that I want to test

my complete power against...

I want you to bring me Goku.

This tournament is sure to be a guaranteed hit!

Everyone will be watching me... I just can't wait

to see that look of panic and fear!

[TRUNKS gasps]

That's it! That's the look!

[CELL laughs]

Until then...

[NARRATOR] Who would have imagined

such a shocking turn of events?

By reviving the world martial arts tournament,

Cell plans to humiliate his opponents

in front of a live television audience!

Talk about adding insult to injury.

[NARRATOR] In only ten short days, the tournament will begin.

The prize for the winner? Control of the world!

Our heroes had better train hard because it's time to put their

Super Saiyan abilities to the test

next time on Dragon Ball Z!
