[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

the misfit cavalry arrived!

Leaping from their bedazzled pink helicopter,

Mr. Satan's top two students entered the Cell Games

to fight in their master's place.

First came the graceful

and self-proclaimed ladies' man Caroni.

He launched into the air with his signature

"Beautiful Flying Rose Attack."

And with a little boost from Cell's energy,

it was indeed a finishing move... for Caroni.

[CARONI whimpers]

[NARRATOR] Next was muscle-man Pirozhki,

who charged Cell with his prized move, the Megaton Bull Crusher!

[NARRATOR] But without lifting a finger,

Cell bowled over the bulbous fighter

with a mere exertion of his energy!

[PIROZHKI grunting]

[NARRATOR] That's two for Cell, none for planet Earth!

[PIROZHKI groans]

[NARRATOR] Annoyed by his students' slip-ups,

Mr. Satan stepped in to settle the score.

It was time for the World Champion of Martial Arts

to show his stuff.

[MR. SATAN grunting]

[MR. SATAN yells]

[screaming]

[NARRATOR] With Mr. Satan's mouth finally shut,

Cell could actually begin the tournament he'd intended.

[CELL] Let's get this tournament underway.

Who will be first?

Will it be Goku to start things off?

[NARRATOR] Goku, who had been anxiously waiting for his chance

to square off with Cell, had only one thing to say:

[GOKU] Let's do it.

[NARRATOR] At last, the main event has come!

In one corner, the biological android

created only to destroy.

And in the other, the greatest hero the Earth has ever known.

The fight begins... today!

L-Ladies and gentlemen,

our last hope rested upon the shoulder's of Mr. Satan.

But now that he's lost, does this mean... we're all doomed?

This should be good.

Yeah...

[VEGETA thinking] All right, Kakarot...

It's time to see what you can do!

[CELL] As I'm sure you know by now,

I've been waiting for this!

Killing the helpless quickly grows old.

[CELL chuckles softly]

[CELL] I'm counting on you for amusement while I test my body.

I hear you're designed to use

all of our techniques against us.

Perfection.

[MR. SATAN groans]

[ANNOUNCER] Hmm?

What? Mr. Satan!

[groaning continues]

May I ask what happened with you there in the ring?

Hey, it's no big deal!

I just lost my footing!

You... lost your... footing?

[MR. SATAN] Yes, I did!

But it looked... like you were launched from the ring!

Sure, it looked that way to an untrained eye!

But you're forgetting Hercule's strength!

I mean, when your big bulging muscles

can make tin foil out of a tour bus,

the smallest slip will send you flying for miles!

Huh? Is that a fact?

[BOTH] It is fact!

O-kay...

[MR. SATAN chuckles]

Don't worry!

Once I take a short break to re-lace my boots,

I'll get back in there and squash that wimp!

Now who rules?!

[PIROZHKI & CARONI] Mr. Satan! Mr. Satan!

That ridiculous man hasn't realized his weakness!

His stupidity's beyond belief!

[HERCULE laughs]

[TRUNKS thinking] So this is it.

Now we'll see why Goku's been acting so confident

all this time.

Folks if you're just tuning in there's great news!

Just moments ago, Mr. Satan confided in me

he simply lost his footing in the ring!

So once he ties his shoes, he'll be back for more!

In the meantime,

we might as well get another preliminary bout over with.

This time Cell's challenger will be that cocky guy

with the big hair!

But don't go too far away from your sets, folks,

because this little skirmish shouldn't take long!

In my professional opinion,

this could get pretty ugly for the guy.

Hercule, any comments on the fight,

or maybe some advice for the challenger?

[MR. SATAN chuckles]

Just by looking at the runt,

all I gotta say is ya better have a stretcher

and an ambulance standing by!

Goku is just awesome!

[TIEN] His form, it's flawless!

Just look at him...

he's standing right in front of Cell

like it's just another day at the beach.

Yeah, it would almost appear like he's enjoying the moment.

With all this new control as a Super Saiyan,

he's by far the best chance this planet has.

Well, if I were fighting that twerp,

I'd bend him into a pretzel and eat him for lunch!

But, lucky for him, I'm on a strict diet!

[ANNOUNCER laughs]

Enough joking. Here's my prediction:

In five seconds, that kid's gonna be history!

[ANNOUNCER laughs]

I sure hope he's got a health plan!

But, really, it's good that he's fighting

because it'll make my fight look even better!

[MR. SATAN laughs]

Ding!

[GOKU grunts]

[GOKU yelps]

[GOKU yelling]

[grunting, blows landing]

[GOKU] Hmph.

[BOTH whimpering]

[gasping]

Their strength appears to be equal.

And so far, it looks like neither of them

are even short of breath!

The challenger seems to be stronger than we thought...

Now, with his expert analysis, here's Mr. Satan...

Your thoughts on the fight so far?

Ahh... Your thoughts?

Uhh...

What, do you think of the fight so far?

Oh, yeah... Fight! Ah, right!

I think it's a good fight, but I would beat both of them

with one hand tied behind my back.

[MR. SATAN laughs nervously]

[BOTH gasp]

[BOTH gasp]

[CELL grunts]

[BOTH gasp]

Look, he's out!

He's right!

Huh...?

Sorry, but did you think you had defeated me?

Ha! I won't fall for your cheap pranks!

I knew all along

that it wouldn't be that easy to take you out, Cell!

I thought it'd be appropriate to play a little joke

since you aren't fighting me seriously.

Hey, you're holding back as well.

Little by little, I shall reveal to you...

the perfect power that lies within me!

Bring it on!

You seem to be enjoying yourself very much.

I'm not surprised.

As a Saiyan, fighting is all you live for.

Are you saying you're any different?

[CELL chuckles]

It depends on who I'm fighting.

Well, then...

I'll try not to disappoint you.

Where'd they go?

Huh?!

[BOTH gasp]

I've never seen anything like this!

They keep disappearing!

It's just a cheap optical illusion!

I've seen it before, see...

It's all done with mirrors.

That's amazing!

Wow, Hercule, with all your genius and knowledge, why,

I bet you could do the same thing if you wanted,

like RIGHT NOW if you wanted!

But, I can't...

seem to figure out where they've hidden the mirrors.

Can you, Hercule? Huh!?

Hey! Where did you go, Mr. Satan?

Don't you realize we're live on the air?!

Don't do this to me!

Come out, come out where ever you are!

Ladies and gentlemen,

I can't explain it, but the champ has vanished!

[MR. SATAN laughs]

Alright, Hercule, where were you?

As you and your television audience have just witnessed,

I, too, am a master of optical illusion!

Oh, yeah, that's right!

[ANNOUNCER] Man alive! You really had me stumped!

Where'd he get the material for that gorgeous cape?

I saw he and Piiza sewing it up last night!

[KRILLIN laughs]

[KRILLIN] These doorknobs are cracking me up!

[KRILLIN chuckles]

Krillin!

I'm sorry...

Their speed, it's incredible!

I can't keep up!

[VEGETA thinking] Ha! So you think that's fast?

Wait until you see me!

[VEGETA chuckles]

[BOTH gasp]

[TRUNKS gasps]

[PICCOLO growls]

[KRILLIN whimpers]

It looks like those two are back at it again.

This is just what gives fighting a bad name!

[CELL chuckles]

[CELL chuckles]

Goku!

[blows landing]

Ohh, I see them now!

Like I said, they were just hiding!

[gasping]

You feel that terrific force?!

That's the same thing I felt

when he knocked me from the ring!

Yes, same here.

There's something most very strange going on here.

They keep on cheating with these second-grade illusions!

They clearly have no respect for the Martial Arts!

Goku!

The edge of the ring!

It looks like Cell's in control!

But how come?

How come Dad isn't taking this seriously?

What?

[VEGETA chuckles]

[VEGETA thinking] Well, well... Just as I thought!

Kakarot and Cell are simply having sport with one another!

[CELL chuckles]

Oh, you're good.

[GOKU] Kaa... Mee...

Haa... Mee...

[GOKU] Haaaaa!

[CELL gasps]

--[GOKU grunts] --[CELL yells]

[CELL growls]

[GOKU grunts]

Alright, I suppose that was a good enough warm-up.

Yeah.

Huh?

That was just their warm-up?!

Well, it looks like they're ready

to get down to it for real!

[GOKU thinking] He's just as strong as I imagined,

and that means I've gotta be on edge.

One slip, and it'll be all over...

[gasping]

[GOKU growls]

Now!

[TRUNKS thinking] Hey, what's going on?

Goku, what are you up to?

[CELL thinking] Yes, now we will see!

[BOTH whimpering]

[CELL chuckles]

[NARRATOR] The practice runs are over,

and Goku is ready to exert his true power as a Super Saiyan.

Will Goku finally reveal the secret to his confidence?

Does he in fact have the power to defeat the evil Cell?

What new powers did Goku discover

in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?

The answers are soon to come,

as the deep strengths hidden inside our hero

are rising to the top!

Don't miss the boiling point,

next time on Dragon Ball Z!
