[CELL chuckles]
[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,
an evil android creature arrived from the future
to take over the world.
And mankind seems powerless to stop it.
[COUPLE screams]
[NARRATOR] Fortunately, Goku has fully recovered
from the devastating virus that had a grip on him for so long.
And now he's ready to put his plan into action.
[NARRATOR] Goku has to get into fighting shape,
and he's taking Vegeta, Trunks, and Gohan to Kami's place
where they can get a year of intense training in one day.
[VEGETA] All right, I'll go!
[NARRATOR] The door is open,
all they have to do is step through...
[MR. POPO] Good luck.
[NARRATOR] Is Trunks tough enough to survive
being locked in a room with Vegeta?
If Goku is right, this training will push
all of their Saiyan powers to the next level,
transforming them into Ascended Saiyans.
This plan had better work, because those three
devious androids are still hot on his trail.
[ANDROID 17] Hi... Can Goku come out and play?
Where has Goku gone?
If you don't tell us where he's hiding,
I'll make you tell us.
Alright... Have it your way.
Over there! That island! You and me!
Very well... If you really want to.
[NARRATOR] Piccolo's definitely got his hands full now.
Locked into a deadly duel with Android 17.
Since uniting with Kami,
Piccolo has been pumped up with extra power.
But does he have the strength to pull the plug on Android 17?
Find out today!
Tell us where Goku is... or I'll make you.
Last chance.
[PICCOLO] I'm going to enjoy this.
[ANDROID 17] Hm...
[ANDROID 17] Hm. I don't think you know
what you're getting into by challenging me.
Just give up.
Really. You can't win.
[PICCOLO chuckles]
[ANDROID 17 laughs]
[ANDROID 17] Very well. Let's see what you've got.
[PICCOLO gasps]
[thinking] Fighting this android is going to be tough because
I won't be able to keep an eye on the other two.
I've got to make sure they won't attack me
--while my back is turned. --[ANDROID 18 chuckles]
Keep those two out of this. Alright?
[ANDROID 17] Don't worry.
Those two are only spectators. This is between me and you.
[thinking] Perfect!
If it's just him, then I won't have any problem
shutting him down.
I'll take out Android 17 first and then I'll get the others.
If I can beat them, then Cell will have nothing to absorb
and he won't be able to become complete.
[PICCOLO growls]
[PICCOLO grunts]
[PICCOLO growling]
[growling continues]
[PICCOLO yells]
[ANDROID 16 growls]
[yelling continues]
[ANDROID 16 growls]
[yelling continues]
[ROSHI growls softly]
[KRILLIN] Come on! Something's happening out there!
I've never felt anything like this before.
The energy coming from Piccolo is incredible!
Wow!
It's for real?
But, he's all alone out there?
No, Kami is with Piccolo right now!
[ROSHI, TIEN, & YAMCHA] Huh?!
That's no ordinary energy level.
It's the combined powers of Kami and Piccolo working together.
Well whatta ya know?
--[MR. POPO] Oh no. --[GOHAN whimpers]
[GOKU] Time's running out.
Piccolo has already started fighting!
[GOHAN] Who's he fighting, Daddy?
Is it Cell?
[GOKU] No... There's no life force...
It must be the androids!
[GOHAN] What?!
I've got to help Piccolo!
[GOKU] Come back, Gohan!
We have to complete our training!
Piccolo will have to hold them off on his own!
[GOHAN whimpers]
[GOKU] It's no use going down there, Gohan!
You're just not strong enough yet!
And besides, you'd only get in Piccolo's way!
As soon as we finish our training,
we'll go down and help Piccolo. You can count on it!
Yes. That's right.
You will be stronger than you've ever been before.
[GOHAN whimpers]
[thinking] I wonder how Vegeta and Trunks are doing?
I wonder if they've become Ascended Saiyans yet?
Their time is almost up!
I don't think Piccolo can handle those androids on his own...
[PICCOLO yells]
[yelling continues]
I sense two powers.
Piccolo is not alone.
[ANDROID 17] What was that?
[PICCOLO growls]
[ANDROID 17 gasps]
[ANDROID 17 grunts]
[ANDROID 17]
[PICCOLO grunts]
[blows landing, BOTH grunting]
[PICCOLO yells]
[ANDROID 17 grunts]
[PICCOLO growls]
[PICCOLO grunts]
[ANDROID 17 chuckles]
[PICCOLO grunts]
[ANDROID 16 growls]
[PICCOLO & ANDROID 17 grunting]
[PICCOLO grunts]
[PICCOLO yells]
[PICCOLO grunting]
Wow. Not bad.
Come back here!
[PICCOLO growls]
[ANDROID 17 gasps]
[PICCOLO growls, ANDROID 17 grunts]
[PICCOLO yells]
[ANDROID 17 grunts]
[PICCOLO grunts softly]
Well...
[PICCOLO growls]
He beat me.
How? Just how could he beat me?
I must have miscalculated somewhere.
[PICCOLO] Stay down!
[PICCOLO grunts]
[ANDROID 17 grunts]
[PICCOLO growls]
[ANDROID 17 gasps]
[PICCOLO yells]
[thinking] His strength is incredible.
[PICCOLO] What's wrong?
Do you need to recharge your batteries?
No. I am never going to give up.
[thinking] Good! 'Cause I'm just getting started!
[PICCOLO chuckles]
[DR. BRIEF hums]
Ah... I think he's asleep!
[BULMA] Great!
Thanks for looking after Trunks while I work on this, Dad!
[DR. BRIEF] Sure...
Any luck in deciphering those plans to Android 17?
Yeah... But man, it's a lot of work!
I'm trying to isolate the android's main power source,
and then, I can shut it off!
The only problem is
there are thousands of circuits to sort through!
Don't give up!
I've gone too far to turn back now!
But I only hope this remote control I made can zero in
on the frequencies of the circuits and turn them off!
Huh? What's wrong?
[alarm sounds] [BULMA] Huh?
Hey! Stop that!
Why'd Dr. Gero have to make these androids
so hard to figure out?
[BULMA growls
[BABY TRUNKS wails]
[DR. BRIEF] Uh-oh...
[wailing continues]
I wish... I could cry.
Heh. Nice shooting. But not quite nice enough.
[PICCOLO] Hmph.
[PICCOLO growls]
[blows landing, BOTH grunting]
[PICCOLO grunts]
[ANDROID 17 growls]
[PICCOLO grunts]
[PICCOLO] There you are...
Scatter Shot!
[PICCOLO yells]
[ANDROID 17 laughs]
[ANDROID 17 chuckles]
[PICCOLO growls]
[PICCOLO grunting]
[grunting continues]
[PICCOLO growls]
Makosen... Ha!
[ANDROID 17 yells]
What? He deflected my blast!
Well done. Impressive light show.
Do you have anymore tricks to share with me
before I finish you?
[ANDROID 18] 17 is playing with him.
Why doesn't he just get it over with? Then we can go find Goku!
[PICCOLO growls]
[PICCOLO yells]
It feels like a fierce battle is going on,
but I can't tell who's winning,
Is it Piccolo or the android?
I know who's going to win!
There's no way that Android could have as much power
as Piccolo right now.
[ROSHI] Not so fast!
Piccolo's energy is incredible, yes,
but we really don't know how strong the Android is!
For all we know, that Android is as strong as ten Piccolos.
[ANDROID 17] What a shame.
Is that all you've got for me?
No!
Come on... Let's go! Finish him off.
If you can't do it then maybe
you should let someone who can--like me!
Stay out of this.
Can't you see I'm just trying to have some fun?
Are you ready to begin again?
Yes, of course.
I have enjoyed this game.
I'd love to stay, but I must find Goku and deal with him.
[PICCOLO] Then stop talking and start fighting!
[PICCOLO growls]
[PICCOLO yells]
[ANDROID 17 grunts]
[PICCOLO] Masenko... Ha!
[ANDROID 17] Again?
You're so predictable.
[PICCOLO grunts]
[ANDROID 17 grunts]
Hmph! He won't give up.
What a fool.
He keeps on shooting hoping he'll get lucky and hit me.
[PICCOLO grunts]
[PICCOLO growls]
[ANDROID 17] Huh...?
It's time to end this!
[ANDROID 17 gasps]
[ANDROID 17] What have you done?!
[ANDROID 17] He was never trying to hit me!
It was a trick all along!
[ANDROID 17 whimpers]
[PICCOLO chuckles]
[PICCOLO] You never expected a guidance scatter shot, did ya?
It's all over. There's no escape for you now!
[PICCOLO chuckles]
[PICCOLO] Your reign of terror ends today!
[PICCOLO] So long, Android!
[PICCOLO yells]
[ANDROID 17 whimpers]
[PICCOLO chuckles]
[GROUP grunts]
[KRILLIN] What's happening?!
[PICCOLO growls]
[PICCOLO gasps]
[PICCOLO growls]
No! Alive? Still?
[ANDROID 17 chuckles]
Give up! There's no way to win!
[PICCOLO] Well, it's not over 'til it's over!
Ya see that island?
Meet me there and we'll end this little game
once and for all!
Ha! Unless you're too afraid to go?
[PICCOLO growls]
[OFFICE MAN whimpers]
It's you're lucky day, little man.
Your worthless life will be spared...
I have much more important things to deal with right now!
Hmm... Ah yes, perfect...
Piccolo must be fighting Android 17!
I can feel his energy signal!
[OFFICE MAN screams]
I'm still alive?!
[CELL grunts]
Complete at last.
Wonderful!
This is going to be far less difficult than I imagined!
[CELL laughs]
[NARRATOR] Things have taken a turn for the worse.
Cell is on his way to absorb the androids,
but Piccolo is completely unaware of the imminent danger.
There's no room for error!
[NARRATOR] Piccolo put up a good fight against Android 17.
But even with the power of Kami surging through him,
he couldn't recycle that renegade robot!
Now more than ever, the help of Goku and the other Saiyans
is needed to stop these machines of madness!
With every second that ticks by, Cell is closing in!
If he gets to the island before Goku and Gohan
can finish their training, then all hope is lost!
Could this be the beginning of the end?
Find out on the next exciting episode of Dragon Ball Z!
