[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

Goku and Gohan struggled to adapt their

incredible Super Saiyan strength to life at home.

[GOKU] You gotta control it, like me. Watch this, see?

[NARRATOR] But when you're used to holding planet-conquering

tyrants in your grip,

everyday life can be tricky.

[NARRATOR] With Cell's deadly tournament only days away,

Goku was determined to enjoy the simpler things in life.

[GOKU laughs]

Family ties were strengthened as ChiChi

held a party for Gohan's eleventh birthday!

It was a time to share laughs and memories.

[NARRATOR] Dark days lie ahead,

and Goku's family and friends are spending

this precious time in the best possible way: together.

Now, can our heroes find the strength to beat Cell,

and restore the planet's peace?

Find out today!

[VEGETA growls]

[VEGETA growls]

Agh! What is taking that Namek so long?! Really!

Doesn't he know he's wasting important people's time?!

Well, he's almost done, just stay calm.

[VEGETA] "Calm"?!

Oh, I will show you calm!

If he stays there any longer,

I'll knock that door down and calmly drag him out!

Look! He's done!

[VEGETA] Well, it's about time!

Great! A dramatic entrance!

Alright! Out of my way!

[thinking] Wow! Piccolo's power has gone way up!

That's funny. You haven't changed at all.

[VEGETA chuckles]

What were you doing in there? Taking a nap?

[thinking] Now I will show you, Kakarot!

I'm going to surpass you. Once and for all!

[KING FURRY] And so, my dear citizens, do not be afraid.

The Royal Military shall mount a courageous attack,

and silence the infamous Cell with one triumphant swoop!

As I have often said, there is nothing to fear but fear itself!

Those guys are in for some big trouble.

They should know by now that Goku's their only chance!

Dr. Gero's androids really are something!

And that goes for this guy, too!

I mean, the level of detail in his circuitry?

It must have taken Dr. Gero years and years to finish!

[BULMA] Now if only I could decode

this energy detection sequence.

See? There's one! Right there!

I told you this lake was perfect for fishing!

Is this okay, Dad?

I feel bad that we're not training right now.

Yeah, it does feel kinda weird acting so relaxed.

Oh, come on, you guys. I think we can handle Cell!

"Think"? What do you mean "think"?

Don't worry! We can win, and remember:

we've reached a level that there's no point in passing.

We've done all that we can! Okay?

Okay!

Well, if you say so, I suppose that's enough for me!

Hey guys! Wash your hands, lunch is ready!

Oh, coming!

Now, son, let's try to enjoy ourselves

and not worry about Cell!

There'll be plenty of time for that.

[GOKU] Woo-hoo! Would you look at this?!

ChiChi, you've outdone yourself!

[KRILLIN] Hey, Goku, I've been meaning to ask.

Since when have you had a driver's license?

Oh, you know!

He and Piccolo went to get a license three years ago!

And... they gave him one?!

[CHICHI] Well, not exactly...

You see, Piccolo and Goku decided to have a little race

during their driving test,

and they were just flying across the road like

a couple of 16-year olds!

[INSTRUCTOR] Look out!

[CHICHI] That's just like you guys, to turn something

as simple as a driving test into another competition.

It was a wonder no one got hurt.

[GOKU laughs]

[GOKU] Well, my driving instructor may have hurt

his lungs screaming so much!

He sure was scared!

[CHICHI laughs]

[CHICHI] Can you blame him?

From what I hear, you nearly had about

fifty head-on collisions!

[GOKU chuckles]

[GOKU] Yeah, some of 'em were kinda close...

Now what?

[INSTRUCTOR sighs]

[CHICHI] After that day, I never thought Goku

would get his license.

But then, I pleaded with the instructor

to give Goku another chance,

and after five more tries

this big lug of mine finally got it right!

Well, are you glad he did?

Yeah, I love when Goku drives me places.

Yeah, I bet!

You know, it's really the smallest things

that can make you happy in your life.

[CHICHI sighs]

A nice Sunday drive.

A family picnic on a warm day.

Or when you close your eyes and fall into your husband's arms.

My hands are full.

[CHICHI groans]

Goku, we can all stop by Master Roshi's house

on the way back if you want to.

Yeah. Huh?

[GOKU] Where do you suppose they're going?

[horns honking]

You big jerk!

You've got at least two feet in front of you!

Shut up! Man, I really hope Cell eats you!

[honking continues]

What a pile-up!

I guess they're running away from the city.

Well, you can't blame 'em.

I mean, you tend to think you're a lot safer

in the countryside, right?

Wish that were true...

[radio plays music]

This place is so quiet, like a ghost town.

Well, when you think you only have seven days to left to live,

who wants to go to work?

But it sure does make it impossible to shop.

Yeah, it looks like we're not going to be able to get

that gift for Master Roshi.

[REPORTER] We interrupt this program

for a special news report.

Ah! There's someone who's working!

[REPORTER] Early this morning, the Royal Military was summoned

to stop the monstrous tyrant known as Cell.

Ground troops, fleets of tanks, and full air support

are now reaching Cell's location.

What?!

[REPORTER] To those tuning in on radio,

I only wish you could see this now.

It really is an amazing display, as the entire

Royal Military has assembled to stop this global threat!

It is a sight that makes this reporter feel much at ease!

M-Military Force?!

Fools! Don't they understand!?

They're all giving up their lives for no reason!

Pathetic, all these men still playing with toys.

Guns ready!

[CELL chuckles]

He's running!

Running?

I just don't want these clumsy idiots to ruin my ring.

Now, men! Engage! Don't let him get away!

[screaming]

[REPORTER] The Military has unleashed

a full-scale attack on the monster!

I'm sure you can hear the roar of machine guns

and missiles in front of me.

Amazing!

The monster has no doubt

been reduced to a pile of blackened ashes!

I say we can all let out a giant sigh of relief.

No! No! Get out!

Stop! Cease fire!

[screaming]

[PILOT] Yee-haw!

Cease fire, cease fire!

--Cease fire! --[screaming continues]

[laughing]

Oh yeah! You like that?

Aahh...

[COMMANDER] Huh?!

[COMMANDER] There's, no way!

Just no way!

You... see that?

[SOLDIER E] Yeah, I see it, too!

He's.... He's still alive!

Judging by your silence, I'd say it's my turn now.

[CELL chuckles]

[whimpering]

[SOLDIERS screaming]

[REPORTER] I don't know how, but Cell is still alive!

The troops are retreating!

And... now Cell seems to be raising his hand!

Don't do it! They're helpless!

[SOLDIERS screaming]

Cell, no!

[CELL grunts]

[SOLDIERS screaming]

[screaming]

[GOKU growls]

That monster!

[CELL] Now that was amusing.

[CELL chuckles]

I'm sorry about this, ChiChi, but I have to go.

I need to ask Piccolo something.

That's... odd. What does this have to do with Piccolo?

[TRUNKS] Goku!

[GOKU] Hey, Trunks. Hey, Mr. Popo.

Oh, wow, Piccolo!

You've been doing some training

in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber haven't you?

That's right.

I can really tell! You're strong!

A lot more powerful than before!

Why don't you just say it? I'm stronger,

but you still don't think I can beat Cell.

Nope, don't stand a chance.

Thanks. You've always been the honest one.

So why did you come up here?

Well, I've been thinking.

You can split yourself in two again, right?

So that there's a Piccolo and a Kami?

[PICCOLO] What?

See, with Kami gone all the Dragon Balls have disappeared,

but we really need a wish from the Dragon.

We need to wish for all the people Cell killed

to be brought back to life.

And I mean every single one of 'em.

[GOKU] It's the only way we can make up

for letting Cell come this far.

[PICCOLO] Sorry, Goku, but I can't.

Once two Nameks have fused together,

they can never split apart.

That's why I was so hesitant

to fuse with Kami-- it was a permanent deal.

Too bad. 'Cause I was really...

[GOKU sighs]

...hoping.

Wait! I remember Gohan told me once

that all the survivors from Namek

went to live on a new planet somewhere!

Maybe I can get a hold of them!

Why?!

Maybe I can get one of them to come here!

Yeah, and then he could become the new guardian for Earth!

That way we'll have a new set of Dragon Balls, right?

[MR. POPO gasps]

[GOKU] If we explain our situation,

I'm sure they'd be happy to help!

I would just love a new guardian to keep me company!

But, you don't have the time to be doing this.

You don't even know what planet they're living on!

It'd take years to find them!

Ah, I doubt that! Not if I use my Instant Transmission!

It's just a simple matter of finding a planet

with an energy signature that's similar to Piccolo's!

[PICCOLO] You can't sense energy that far away!

Oh, sure! I must admit I've never actually tried.

But if I put my mind to it, I bet I can.

Now please, everyone be really quiet.

[MR. POPO gulps]

Funny. You were right! I can't!

[ALL gasp]

Hey! I know what I'll do!

I'll go to King Kai's planet and locate them from there!

Now, if I can just get a good picture of King Kai!

Oh! There we go!

So, do you think he'll do it?

I don't think we should rely on it if that's what you mean.

[GOKU] Hmmm, I wonder what that goofy guy is up to.

[KING KAI snoring]

Huh?

[snoring continues]

Sleeping, I should have known!

[BUBBLES chatters]

Hello, Bubbles!

[KING KAI snores]

Hey, King Kai. Hey!

Will you wake up for a sec? It's me, Goku!

Goku?

Uh, hey! I like the new 'do. You make a good blonde.

So what brings ya up here? Need some good jokes?

No, no jokes. Not right now.

Don't you know about all the horrible things

that are happening on Earth?

[NARRATOR] Goku continues with his plan

to bring Cell's victims back to life.

But with the World Martial Arts Tournament only days away,

shouldn't he be thinking about his training?

The clock is ticking,

next time on Dragon Ball Z.
