[NARRATOR] Previously on Dragon Ball Z,

As the new guardian of the Earth,

Dende quickly created a new Dragon,

and thus brought back the shining powers

of the Dragon Balls.

[NARRATOR] As a result,

our heroes could bring back all the people killed by Cell,

but first, Goku had to zap around the world

to collect all seven.

[NARRATOR] And after a troublesome run-in with

a goofy gangster and his hired killer,

the robotically enhanced General Tao,

Goku's journey was almost complete.

He'd gathered up six of the seven Dragon Balls

and was on his way to find the last.

[VODKA] Yeah, go right ahead.

Hey, alright! I've got all seven Dragon Balls!

[TRUNKS yells]

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, back at Kami's lookout,

a handful of the other fighters were spending

their last few moments in preparation.

Trunks continued to train his body,

while, much to Krillin's astonishment,

Gohan and Dende chose instead to train their minds

with homework!

[ALL laugh]

[NARRATOR] But time is quickly running out.

Cell has been waiting days on end

for his Martial Arts Tournament.

And it begins in less than one hour!

Well, I better go...

[BOTH sigh]

Be careful out there, Goku!

Come back safely...

Hey, don't worry.

Promise me Gohan will not fight!

Ahh... Well...

Goku, you have to promise me that Gohan won't get involved!

I gotta run...

[CHICHI] Goku, wait!

Oh no... he wouldn't even promise me. And that means--!

[CHICHI gasps]

D-Dad!

[KRILLIN] Alright!

Today's the day.

Huh...?

Where's Vegeta?

He went on ahead.

I see. He must be pumped up from all his training.

So, what level's he at?

Hey, guys, what's with the silent treatment?

Uhh, anybody wanna explain?

Goku, we seem to have a bit of a snag here.

It's about the dragon...

See, Dende made it so that all the people killed by Cell

could be brought back with one wish.

Yeah...

But unlike on Namek,

this dragon can't restore life to anyone who's died before...

I'm sorry. I should have told that you before I made it, Goku.

Don't worry, nothing's gonna happen!

He's not gonna beat us, guys!

[KRILLIN] Hel-lo?! We're fighting Cell here!

Hey, just take it easy!

Now, let's hurry up or we're gonna be late.

[thinking] Ahhh, Goku, the day of judgment is at last at hand.

Here we are just twenty minutes away

from the start of the Cell games!

And by the looks of it, no one seemed to show up

to watch for fear of their lives!

As you can see, Cell continues to stand

in the middle of the ring without moving a muscle!

And with not a lot of time left until the opening bell,

we're still awaiting the arrival of the people's grand champion!

The one and only Hercule Satan!

[ANNOUNCER] Wait a minute...

Yes! Someone's coming!

[brakes screeching]

[ANNOUNCER] Ladies and gentlemen!

Mr. Satan is here!

Yeah!

[ANNOUNCER] So put your hands together for Mr. Satan!

[CROWD cheering]

[ANNOUNCER] Mr. Satan is now making his way to the ring.

[MR. SATAN] You're going down!

Whoaaa!

Ladies and gentlemen, the tournament's about to begin!

And Mr. Satan is already declaring his victory!

But wait, folks,

even with the world's strongest man about to challenge him,

Cell remains as calm as a cucumber!

Well then, let's begin.

So, it looks like Cell's anxious to get the show on the road,

and so are we!

Ladies and Gentleman, let the Ultimate Games begin!

[ANNOUNCER] The hopes and dreams of the entire planet

rest on the shoulders of Hercule Satan,

but between you and me, we don't have a thing to worry about.

[ANNOUNCER] Mr. Satan is now making his way toward Cell.

But the champ appears to be taking his sweet time!

And from my vantage point, folks,

you can cut the tension with a knife!

[ANNOUNCER] Wait a minute!

Huh? Wh-What's he doing? He wants US to come down there?

[MR. SATAN] Mm-hmm.

Yes, well... ahh... sure. Huh?

Okay, we're coming! Just hang on!

I don't think I have a choice!

This just might be my last broadcast, ladies and gentlemen,

but being a true professional, it's my duty to you

my viewing audience!

[ANNOUNCER] Oh my...

On a personal note, just in case this is

the last event I ever cover,

I'd like to thank each and everyone of my loyal viewers

for the cards and letters you've sent to me over my years at ZTV.

[ANNOUNCER chuckles nervously]

So, ah, I suppose I should thank you

for the ringside seats, M-Mr. Satan.

C'mon up here, and quickly!

[ANNOUNCER] Sure, what ever you say!

So, uh, a-are you ready for the fight, Mr. Satan?

Any last remarks?

I'd like to give Cell my condolences.

It's too bad my unworthy opponent didn't know

that I existed before he started this tournament of his!

Anything else?

I'll give him one last chance to back out.

He might think he's a champ, but he's just a chump!

[CROWD cheers]

Listen up, you bum!

You are going down in the first round!

I know you beat the Royal Military

by planting bombs beforehand!

I know all your stupid parlor tricks and I'm not impressed!

I can't believe he won't respond!

[MR. SATAN chuckles]

He's just upset I know his weaknesses!

[ANNOUNCER laughs]

Hey, Cell, get a load of this one!

[ANNOUNCER laughs]

[MR. SATAN laughs]

You can kiss my butt!

[MR. SATAN laughs]

[CROWD cheers]

[ROSHI] You know, it might be fair if he gets killed.

Huh...? Ha-ha!

Hey, look, guys, it's Yamcha and Tien!

We'll come with you, but we want you to know

that we're not going to fight.

Sure. Now let's go.

[MR. SATAN raspberries]

[laughing]

You're a little thick, aren't you there?!

[MR. SATAN laughs]

Sucker!

[laughing continues]

And another verbal jab! The fight hasn't even started yet!

And in this announcer's humble opinion,

it seems Mr. Satan is already winning!

[ANNOUNCER] Huh?

[ANNOUNCER] What the...?

What is that?

What are you talking about?

[ANNOUNCER] What do you think it could be?

[thinking] Ahh... Vegeta...

I thought you would have learned by now.

I hope for his sake he's powerd up.

[ANNOUNCER] It appears that we have another visitor,

but I don't recognize him.

He just came flying in here unexpectedly.

One of Cell's tricks!

I'm not sure what he's doing here,

so why don't we go up and ask him?

So, who are you and what are you doing here?

And if you've just come to watch,

back away from the ring before you get hurt!

Quiet! I've had enough of your insolence!

--Huh?! --Get out of my face!

[ANNOUNCER laughs]

If you ask me, that guy's totally nuts!

Have any thoughts, champ?

Ahhhhhh... He's probably just one of my fanatical fans.

[ANNOUNCER growls]

[ANNOUNCER] Ladies and gentlemen,

according to my watch,

we're just five minutes away from the start of the Cell Games

that will decide the fate of the Earth!

As I predicted, Mr. Satan is the only challenger

to step forward to take on Cell!

But then again, what more do we really need

when we have the World Champion of Martial Arts on our side!

Coming up, it's the fight of the century!

Huh?

Hm?!

Wh... Where are they all coming from?

Ahh... it's another one of those tricks!

Well, what a surprise... Android 16.

You're still alive and kicking,

and with beautiful repairs, no less!

[thinking] Bulma and her father made that android

just as powerful as before!

What idiots! Why did they even bother?

Cell just said something to the red-haired guy!

Do you think that those two know each other?

Who cares?!

You can tell by his outfit he's a nobody!

Hmm?

[CELL chuckles]

Ah, there you are, Goku. And just in time!

I can hardly wait...

Keep. It. Rolling...

[MR. SATAN] Wha...?!

Goku, down there!

Let's do it.

[CROWD gasping, murmuring]

W-Who are those guys?

They're gonna get in Mr. Satan's way!

[CHICHI] Gohan, my darling, nooo!

My precious, little baby! Get out of there!

Please, you've got to get out of there!

[OX-KING] ChiChi, calm down!

There's nothing you can do for him now!

[CHICHI] You've got to help me get him out of there!

Please, before my little pumpkin gets hurt!

My precious, little Gohan, listen to your mommy and run!

Welcome, welcome, everyone!

[thinking] Why did they have to come?!

But how... how is it physically possible for all of them to fly?

I-I guess that trick's very... popular today!

Huh...? Huh?!

Android 16! Hey, you're back!

Yes, and thank you. Because of your help,

I am at last fully functional again.

[KRILLIN chuckles]

Aw, shucks. You're welcome.

My name's Goku.

I know your name.

I was created solely to destroy you. Though I've chosen not to.

Get a load of Mr. Personality...

[ANNOUNCER] Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm not sure what to make of all these newcomers!

I must say it's verrry intriguing!

Hey, don't forget about me.

Excuse me, have the games started?

Not yet, but almost...

Okay then!

[bones popping]

Let's get this thing going. And if you want, I'll be first!

Goku, you don't have to be the first one to fight!

What d'ya say, Vegeta?

Be my guest.

We all know it will be me who ends up finishing off Cell.

[MR. SATAN stammers]

Hey, don't you know I'm the Champ around here?!

Ah, excuse me, sir,

but I was just wondering if you or your friends

were going to take part in the tournament?

Of course, I'll be going first.

[MR. SATAN growls]

I've had about enough of you clowns and your stupid jokes!

Now clear outta here before I get angry!

Hey, don't blow a vein you grease ball.

[MR. SATAN gasps]

[chuckling]

I'm sorry, I forgot.

You ignorant hicks have spent your whole lives playing

banjo in the woods, so you don't realize that I,

Hercule Satan, am the MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!

And the other challengers have been left totally speechless,

by the one and only...

MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPIONS OF THE... whuh?

Okay, seeing as you don't know who I am, I'll show you.

[MR. SATAN growls]

[yelling]

[MR. SATAN yells]

[growling]

Now who rules?

Champion of all Martial Arts in the World, Mr. Satan!

Mr. Satan! Mr. Satan! Mr.-- Uh?!

They... They aren't buying it at all.

I say... we let the Neanderthal nerd ball go first.

You... think we should?

It's time!

[NARRATOR] The buzzer has sounded,

and the time for waiting has come to a close!

But who will be victorious?

Will it be our hero, the strangely confident Goku?

Or has Vegeta finally become the strongest of all?

There's always Piccolo now that he's reuinited with Kami.

[NARRATOR] Will Yamcha and Tien decide to fight?

Or could Trunks fulfill his goal to save the future?

Don't forget Gohan and Krillin.

The biggest battle ever in the history of Dragon Ball Z

is about to begin,

so don't miss the next exciting episode.

Non-stop action is guaranteed.

And yet, the question remains: Will our heroes come out on top

and destroy the mighty Cell?

Or will it be the end of the Earth as we know it?

The pressure is on Goku and the Z Fighters to save mankind.
