[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z!

Fine, here we go...

The rivers, the trees, the wind...

And all the living things in nature...

I ask of you... Please offer me the power

of your fighting spirit!

[NARRATOR] Goku called upon the forces of nature

to help him form the only weapon capable of stopping

the rampaging Vegeta... The Spirit Bomb.

But before Goku could deliver the finishing blow,

Vegeta unleashed a devastating counterattack

that brought our hero to his knees.

Without the Spirit Bomb,

Goku had little chance of defeating the monstrous Vegeta.

But even though all hope seemed lost,

Goku was determined to fight to the bitter end.

I have no more power to defend myself against this monster.

I hope it buys me more time.

[APE VEGETA growling]

Damn yooouuu!

[NARRATOR] Having exhausted the last of his strength,

Goku's life is in the hands of the merciless Vegeta.

And the evil Saiyan will not be satisfied

until he has squeezed every last breath

from our hero's body. Will this be the end for Goku?

The pressure's on...

Today on Dragon Ball Z!

We're almost there, Gohan.

Hang on, Dad!

[GOKU screaming]

[YAJIROBE] Man, that's awful...

I want to help... I mean I would, it's just...

Against that monster, what could I do?

[screaming continues]

Sorry about this, Goku, but you know how it is...

I gotta look out for number one!

I hope you won't take it personally.

[APE VEGETA laughing]

I'm going to crush your puny bones!

[GOKU'S bones breaking]

[GOKU screaming louder]

[YARJIROBE whimpering]

Look, there! It's just up ahead.

[GOHAN] The sky is so bright, Krillin... What's going on?

I wish I knew. But whatever that weird light is,

it's not natural, that's for sure...

I've got a bad feeling about this...

Huh?!

What in the world... is that?!

[APE GOKU roaring]

Aagh!

Gohan! Wait! We better not go near that thing!

But, what about Dad?

Let's go down here and hide!

Who is that?

[thinking] He's transformed into a giant ape...

Just like Goku used to do!

[GOKU screaming]

[APE VEGETA] What's wrong, Kakarot?

You don't look like you're in enough pain...

Have some more!

Goku's in pretty bad shape. Come on!

We have to move fast!

[GOHAN] Right!

[YAJIROBE] Stop!

Yajirobe!

Hey! What are you thinking?

Do you know how strong that monster is? Do you?

[KRILLIN] We've gotta help Goku!

And how exactly are you planning to do that?

It's suicide!

We've got one chance...

If we cut off his tail, he'll turn back to normal.

His tail?

But how?

You two go out there and get his attention,

while I sneak up behind him... I only need a few seconds.

I know it's risky, but unless you have any better ideas,

it's our only choice.

Hurry! Or Goku's toast!

Let's go!

Give me a break. You two want me to get his attention?

And what if he does turn small again?

Face it you guys, he's still gonna be

way too strong for us to beat him.

[thinking] Hold on, Dad. We're coming!

[thinking] Goku has no power. We've got to hurry.

If we don't move fast, he could die any second!

Ah, do whatever you want. I'm out of here.

Somebody's coming... Who is it?

[APE VEGETA] Show yourself! I know you're out there!

Where are you?

[GOHAN] Right here!

You put my Dad down, right now!

Oh, no! It's you! Please, don't hurt me!

I'll do anything you say!

I'll put your father down if you want,

It might be one piece at a time,

but I'll definitely put him down!

[APE VEGETA laughing]

Now which piece would you like first?

[GOHAN] You better not hurt him!

[APE VEGETA] It's a little too late for that.

Destructo Disk!

Yeah... This'll work!

[birds twittering]

Say goodbye to your father...

You should be proud of him!

It's rare I have to transform to win a battle!

[thinking] Krillin... Hurry!

What a waste!

It's a shame that the two of us just couldn't see eye to eye!

Hyaah!

Yaargh!

Waaugh!

[KRILLIN] Oh, man! How did he know?

Did you really think you could sneak up on me, little man?

Did you really think that you could fool me

with such a simple ruse?

Like I'd believe for a second that Kakarot's son

came back to face me all alone.

Ha! I knew from the instant I saw him

that he was merely trying

to distract me from the real threat.

You'll have to do better next time.

Except, there won't be a next time...

You're finished... As soon as I'm done

squeezing the life from Kakarot, you're next.

[thinking] Darn it! I really messed things up big time.

He anticipated us every step of the way!

I'm sorry, Goku. We tried. But he's just too strong for us!

I don't know what else we can do!

[APE VEGETA laughing]

Take a good look!

This is what you have to look forward to

once I get my hands on you!

[KRILLIN] No! We can't let him do this! Goku!

No... Dad, no!

Stop it! Let go! I said stop it!

[APE VEGETA chuckling]

Sorry, kid. But you're in no position

to be giving me orders...

Oh, no. Gohan!

Oh? Ha, ha, ha! No more orders? What about last requests?

[APE VEGETA laughing]

[APE VEGETA grunting]

[APE VEGETA growling]

Impossible! Who did this to me? Where did he come from?

You fools! You don't know what you've done!

[APE VEGETA groaning]

[groaning continuing]

[VEGETA panting]

[KRILLIN] Yajirobe?!

He... did it!

I must be out of my mind!

I couldn't have picked a worse time to decide to be brave!

Yeah, alright! He's gone back to normal!

[GOHAN whimpering]

[VEGETA] Those little pests...

[VEGETA] How could I be so careless?

[KRILLIN] He never even saw it coming!

Wow! Who woulda' thought Yajirobe had it in him!

[thinking] All right. I've done my good deed for the day.

They can take it from here.

You're all... going to... pay!

[KRILLIN whimpering]

You've disgraced me for the first and final time.

I thought cutting his tail would stop him...

It just made him angrier!

You're going to know a new meaning for the word pain!

You will all suffer!

[YAJIROBE whimpering]

[VEGETA chuckling]

Hrrgh!

Gohan! Get out of there!

[GOHAN whimpering]

What's wrong? You seem scared.

Ooh... auugh...

A brave Saiyan like yourself shouldn't be scared,

it's not becoming!

I guess those powers of yours are taking a nap. Pity.

Patience, little man. You'll get your turn.

Oh, man! Great! We're all doomed!

[VEGETA laughing]

Up, you brat. Get up!

I'm not through with you just yet...

Come on, boy! Defend yourself! I thought you were a Saiyan!

So fight me! Show me what you're made of!

[GOHAN screaming]

You're low-class scum, just like your father.

[OX KING] Oh, no, look! He's got Gohan!

I can't...

How could anyone be so cruel to a child?!

[OX KING] ChiChi? Are you all right?

Oh, wow... It looks like she clocked out.

She's just scared. I don't blame her... Poor thing.

[OOLONG] ChiChi, snap out of it! Can you hear me?

It's me, Oolong!

[OOLONG grunting]

Ow! That hurts!

[CHICHI] Fight...

Huh?

Fight him, Gohan.

Oh?

Huh?

Uhh...

Fight, fight, fight, Gohan!

Fight! Don't let him beat you and your father!

You can do it! Get him!

Fight with everything you have!

Fight! Go for it! Fight!

[BULMA] Look out!

[GOHAN yelling]

I think it's time I threw you out

with the rest of the trash! You're all used up!

[VEGETA laughing]

Gohan... It's Dad...

[VEGETA] Well, Kakarot's awake again...

He just doesn't know when to quit, does he?

Gohan, please don't give up. Listen, my body is shredded.

I can't use it anymore,

so you're going to have to fight for both of us!

He's got to be hurting pretty bad, too...

We can't give in!

This is our only chance! Please, Gohan!

Dad, I don't think I can do it!

He's just too strong for me! I'm scared of him!

I hate to say I told you so...

But you really should have joined me, Kakarot!

Now, it's too late! You had your chance!

Now you, your son, and the bald guy... you're history!

And let's not forget about the sneaking coward

who cut my tail!

[YAJIROBE whimpering]

Son, don't be scared of him..

Hey, you're a lot stronger than you think...

Piccolo trained you very well.

You have to have faith in him... You can win!

And look! You're not alone.

You still have Krillin to lend you a hand.

I can't move. I don't think I can do it, Dad!

Yes, you can! I know it, and so did Piccolo!

He believed in you! That's why he gave his life to save yours!

[PICCOLO screaming]

I believe in you, too, son.

Haah!

Waugh!

[VEGETA laughing]

Being a good fiend is like being a photographer...

You have to wait for the right moment.

Go-Gohan...

[VEGETA laughing]

[VEGETA] Sorry! Father-son time is over!

No... Dad, no...

[GOKU screaming]

No... Stop...

[VEGETA laughing]

I said STOP!

Huh?!

You heard me!

Let's go!

Sure, kid. Why not? I'm game.

[GOHAN growling]

Rrgh!

Little punk!

Krillin, come here, quick... Gohan needs our help...

Well, there's more to this kid than I thought...

[KRILIN] I'm sorry, Goku, but in my condition,

I'm not sure I can help him.

I wouldn't last a minute up there!

Right. You don't have to fight...

It's just a one shot deal... Come closer.

I have some energy that I need to give you.

[KRILLIN] Ah, no offense, Goku,

but you don't look like you have any energy to spare!

I know, but it's not mine.

I gathered a bunch of energy earlier, from the Earth.

Most of it got away but I have a little...

It should be enough to stop him if you can hit him with it.

Yeah... If...

All right... Let's do it... Take my hand...

But are you sure I can handle it?

Yes! You have to!

Well, let's hope you're right...

Grab hold!

Gotcha...

Rrgh!

Hey, I don't feel anything, Goku!

You will. Just give me a few seconds.

Okay! Now relax!

Oh, wow. That's a lot of power!

Man! Hey, Goku! What... What do I do with this thing?

First, turn your palm up.

Then use your will power to concentrate the energy

and form it into a ball!

[VEGETA growling]

You little brat!

Uwaah!

Clear your mind, Krillin...

Don't try to force the energy. Just let it flow through you...

Wow, I did it! Um... what'd I do?

It's a Spirit Bomb. King Kai taught me...

That kid hurt me!

Listen... You can do this. I know it...

But, you have to be very careful.

We... We only get one shot at this. Make it count!

Right. Got it! I'll do my best.

[NARRATOR] A glimmer of hope has returned to the battlefield.

With the Spirit Bomb,

Krillin and Gohan now have one final chance

to defeat the evil Vegeta. Can they succeed?
