[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

Cell continued his quest for Android 18.

Hoping to flush her out from hiding, the vile android

launched a series of blind attacks on the islands below,

raining down terror on hundreds of unsuspecting civilians.

He's a monster on a mission who won't stop

until he gets what he's after. And now he's after Android 18.

Because once he absorbs her, Cell will reach his final stage

and become a pure entity of evil.

[NARRATOR] And back at Kami's Place,

Vegeta and Trunks completed their intensive training.

Eager to demonstrate his new-found abilities,

Vegeta took off to face Cell on his own.

Trunks followed close behind,

ready at any moment to back up his father.

Oh good! The fireworks have already started!

[NARRATOR] While Vegeta prepared for his confrontation with Cell,

Goku and Gohan crossed the threshold

into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

If they can endure it, they will get a year of training

in a single day and become stronger than ever before.

But is taking a day away from the pursuit of Cell

a wise decision?

Find out today!

[CELL growls]

Come out now, 18! You know you can't hide from me!

[CELL grunts]

[ANDROID 18 whimpers]

[ANDROID 18] He's blasting the islands one-by-one...

You said he wasn't going to destroy them!

I was wrong.

[SQUIRRELS squeak]

Cell will find us if we stay here.

We've got to get away!

[ANDROID 18] Ugh... But you're in no shape to travel.

But he'll see us for sure if we try to leave now.

Maybe your friends can help us.

[ANDROID 18 gasps]

Cell!

Where are they?

All this time, I've wasted looking.

I should have been complete by now.

I will find her.

I did not travel this far back to fail.

[CELL grunts]

[thinking] Look at all these destroyed islands!

This must be Cell's handiwork.

I don't know what Kakarot and the others are so afraid of!

Wait until they see what I can do!

[TRUNKS gasps]

[thinking] Father's powering up!

He must be even more anxious to fight Cell than I thought!

[thinking] I can't let him get away!

[BULMA] Do you think Vegeta can handle Cell by himself?

I have no idea how powerful Trunks and Vegeta have become.

But they've got to try and stop him. If they can...

If Cell gets his way and manages to absorb Android 18,

there's no telling what kind of horrors are in store

--for the Earth. --[TIEN growls]

It's as simple as this:

Cell wins. We lose.

[TIEN growls]

They need our help.

We don't have time to wait for Goku and Gohan!

Tien you know you're no match for Cell.

All you have to do is wait one day.

Then with Goku and Gohan's help you can crush Cell!

[BABY TRUNKS wails]

[BULMA] There, there, Baby Trunks, now don't cry.

Everything is going to be okay. I promise.

[GOHAN] It's so bright!

My hands feel heavy.

And it's so hot. It's hard to breathe.

[GOKU] It's just me and you now, Gohan.

Get used to this. We don't have a choice.

Now, are you sure that you are ready to train

like Trunks and Vegeta?

Yes, I am. Let's do it.

[GOKU laughs]

You can take that bed over there.

[GOKU] And most important of all,

this is where the food is kept.

There's enough here to last a whole year.

Cool, huh?

Dad, with the way you eat,

I really don't think that'll be enough!

[GOKU laughs]

[GOKU] This place has everything we're going to need.

[GOHAN] Yeah I guess the rest is up to us, right?

That's right! Go look out there.

Then you'll understand why I couldn't even last a month

in here when I was a kid.

[GOHAN gasps]

[GOHAN] I don't believe it. How is this possible?

How can this room be floating in the middle of nowhere?

There's nothing out there.

[GOKU] That's right, Gohan. It stretches for an eternity.

[GOHAN] But that's impossible.

Curses! Still no sign of those foolish androids.

They could be hiding underwater

but I doubt they're smart enough to try that.

Alright, this bores me. Time to end this little game.

[CELL grunts]

[ANDROID 18 gasps]

[ANDROID 16] No!

Cell would sense your blast.

[CELL growls]

[CELL] Androids!

[CELL growls]

[CELL yells]

[BOTH grunt]

Cell is at the next island!

Stay still.

Cell is watching carefully for any movement in the area.

He will not find us if we remain quiet and stay perfectly still.

[ANDROID 18 growls]

[BOTH grunt]

[CELL growls]

[SQUIRRELS squeak]

[CELL] One island left.

[CELL chuckles]

I've got her!

[CELL laughs]

[ANDROID 18 gasps]

[ANDROID 18] There he is!

Calm down! We cannot be seen!

If you hold your position we will not be discovered.

Last island. Last chance.

[ANDROID 18 grunts]

[CELL chuckles]

Huh?!

[CELL whimpers]

[VEGETA chuckles]

It's you! Vegeta!

Yes, and you're Cell. Hello.

[ANDROID 18] Who is that with Cell?

Vegeta?!

What are you doing here?

Have you come to protect the androids from being absorbed?

How noble!

That's not why I'm here.

I've come to tell you. Your time is up.

[CELL chuckles]

I see. Is that right?

[VEGETA chuckles]

[CELL chuckles]

Come on.

[VEGETA] I find it hard to believe that my cells

are in your body.

How could you have turned out so ugly? What a waste!

Although, it's obvious where you've gotten

most of your strength.

You should consider it an honor to be part of me.

I am the strongest in the universe.

[VEGETA laughs]

[VEGETA] That's where you're wrong.

I am the strongest and I will prove it!

Just look at me!

I have changed!

[ANDROID 18] Is Vegeta challenging Cell?

He barely survived the battle we fought.

Now he thinks he can just defeat Cell on his own?

[CELL] I don't believe you are as powerful

as you think you are.

[VEGETA chuckles]

[CELL gasps]

[TRUNKS] I hope this isn't a private party.

Is that you, Trunks?

It appears you have been through some changes as well.

Aah! So I guess it's two Saiyans for the price of one.

Will your other friends be joining us too?

[VEGETA] There will be no more interruptions.

And he's only here to watch the fight!

I don't need reinforcements.

Just you? That won't be much of a challenge.

[VEGETA] For me? Absolutely not!

[CELL chuckles]

Very well.

I must say I am impressed by your determination.

I agree with Cell.

Vegeta is no match for him.

He has no chance!

What are you thinking, 16?

Don't you think now would be a good time to escape?

16, I'm talking to you!

Wait, stay here until they start fighting, 18.

Vegeta has changed.

His power has grown since the last time you fought.

He just may have a chance.

What? How?

How could he have changed that much, so quickly?

Was he just toying around with me?

Do you really think he might beat Cell?

Are you ready now

to witness a power not seen for thousands of years?

[CELL chuckles]

[VEGETA growls]

[VEGETA yells]

All right.

[yelling continues]

[PICCOLO gasps]

[PICCOLO] Can you sense Vegeta's energy, Tien?

It's growing!

And now... we wait!

No, I can't wait.

Vegeta can't beat Cell alone.

[PICCOLO] Let him try.

He's determined to prove himself to all of us.

Vegeta! It's your turn!

Now show us what a pure blooded Saiyan can really do!

[GOKU] Don't let the vastness of this place get to you, Gohan.

[GOHAN] Where does it end? and... and where does it begin?

[GOKU] Gohan!

I don't want you to go out there without me, okay?

You could get lost and never get back.

Yeah, okay.

[GOKU] The temperature can change fast.

The air gets denser the deeper you go

and the gravity is ten times that of Earth's.

It's not a very safe place to be by yourself.

We'll be here for a year

so we have to make sure we don't get separated.

Oh! Wow!

A year in this place?

Gohan, this isn't going to be a holiday.

We came here to train.

[GOHAN grunts]

[GOKU] Oh yeah! Watch that first step.

It's a doozy.

Huh...?

I know this is your first time training under this gravity.

It's tough! But trust me, you'll get used to it.

Listen, Son, you are going to become a Super Saiyan.

[GOHAN] Me a Super Saiyan?

Yes!

Wow! Really? You mean, you think I really can?

[GOKU] In time!

But you have to take this training very seriously.

Of course, we'll take it one step at a time.

When you're ready, you'll move to the next level.

But it's not going to be easy.

[GOHAN] I understand, but how hard will it be?

[GOKU] It'll be the toughest thing you've ever done.

[GOKU chuckles]

Hey, you're my son.

I know that you'll be able to do it.

And don't forget,

you're a descendant of the Saiyan race too.

I want you to do the best that you can!

And no matter what, I'll always be proud of you. Understand?

Sure, Dad.

--Good. --[GOHAN chuckles]

[GOKU] Then we're gonna try to reach a power level

higher than Super Saiyan.

That is the only thing that matters to us in this place.

Gohan, I want you to train hard and become stronger than me.

Wha--?! What? Me stronger than you?!

[GOKU] That's right!

That's what I want to see.

And I think we can do it together.

[GOHAN] I hope you're right.

But Dad? Trunks said that I eventually become

a Super Saiyan in the future and the androids still get me!

Do you think that prediction will still come true?

[GOKU] That's nonsense, Gohan.

The future has changed a lot since Trunks said that.

I was supposed to get sick and kick the bucket.

But look, I'm still here so you can't believe

everything Trunks has said. Things have changed.

Oh yeah!

It's all up to us, now!

Okay! Let's do it!

Right. Gohan, you should know

I'm a stricter teacher than Piccolo!

Think you can handle it?

Yeah, sure!

[VEGETA growls]

[VEGETA yells]

Huh? What's this?

His energy's still growing!

[CELL gasps]

--[ANDROID 16 gasps] --[ANDROID 18] Incredible!

Look! Vegeta is transforming.

Where did he get this kind of power?

[VEGETA snarls]

[VEGETA yells]

[VEGETA growls]

[growling continues]

[CELL whimpers]

[growling continues]

{VEGETA yells]

The training did work after all.

Vegeta is transforming!

[BULMA] What's going on?

It's Vegeta and Trunks, right?

Something's happened hasn't it?

Whoa! That's a lot of power!

[thinking] He did it! He's ascended!

[VEGETA growls]

[CELL whimpers]

[CELL whimpers]

[VEGETA chuckles]

[VEGETA growls]

[CELL grunts]

[NARRATOR] Vegeta puts his training to the test

and delivers a power punch!

But will it be the final blow that puts an end

to Cell's deadly rampage?

Stay tuned for scenes from the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!
