[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

Gohan trained Videl and Goten in the secret art of flying.

[NARRATOR] After learning to concentrate her energy,

Videl worked on using this power to lift into the air.

It was a lesson learned with impressive speed,

as what she lacked in experience

was made up for with strength and determination.

[GOHAN] That's incredible, Videl!

No one learns how to fly on their first day!

Is that a fact?

[GOTEN] A birdie! A birdie!

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, Vegeta and Trunks did training of their own

in an enhanced gravity room.

And Vegeta learned a surprising ability of his son...

[VEGETA] So what are you going to do?

Guess I'll go... Super!

Huh?!

[TRUNKS yells]

[NARRATOR] The preparations are in the works,

and the tournament day is near.

[VEGETA] When was it that the transformation to the legendary

warrior of the Saiyan race

was reduced to a children's plaything?!

[VIDEL giggles]

[VIDEL] Look, Gohan! I'm higher than the trees!

[GOHAN] Yeah!

You soak this stuff up like a sponge!

[VIDEL laughs]

[GOHAN] Now we can work on the harder moves!

[laughing continues]

[GOTEN] Hah! Yeah!

[GOTEN laughs]

[VIDEL] So... how long does it take to fly around like that?

Um... Well...

It just depends on the person, really.

I won't stop 'til I fly like him!

Ah? Uhh... Hold on just a second...

This is so awesome! Yeaah!

[GOTEN laughs]

[GOTEN laughs]

[GOTEN] Whoa!

Hey, bro... Try to slow it down while Videl's here,

--could ya? --But how come?

Just do it for me, okay?!

[VIDEL] Problem?

No! Just gave him a little advice!

[VIDEL sighs]

It's break time...

[VIDEL] Listen...

I'd rather you don't tell my dad about these lessons.

I want it to be a surprise at the tournament, okay?

Sure! Don't worry.

I never run into him!

And that's for good reason!

If he knew I was hanging out at a boy's house...

Well, I know exactly what he would say...

I forbid it! You find a boy who's stronger than I am

and then maybe I'll consider! I mean, maybe I'll consider...

He says it 'cause he knows there aren't any boys like that.

I mean, he saved the whole world with his strength.

You're a pretty tough guy, Gohan.

But you can hardly say something like that!

[GOHAN laughs]

Videl...

Has your dad ever let you have practice matches with him?

Come on, are you kidding? He's the World Champion!

He'd tear me apart!

Dad doesn't even let me watch him train now!

It's all a secret.

[GOHAN laughs]

[thinking] Yeah, no wonder.

He doesn't want Videl to know she's stronger than he is!

So, um...

In the extremely unlikely chance that someone, say,

beats your father...

You think you'd freak out?

I wish he'd lose!

This fame has gone to Dad's head!

I know mom's been gone for a while...

but that doesn't mean he can go flouncing everywhere

with these silly women!

If he got beat, they'd all disappear!

[GOHAN laughs]

[thinking] Perfect!

Now I can beat her dad without feeling guilty!

[VIDEL] But unfortunately that'll never happen.

My Dad's too strong for his own good.

Now I've got a question:

Who taught you these martial arts?

Well... First someone named Piccolo and then my dad...

So, if your dad knows a few fighting techniques

how come you've never introduced him to me?

--My dad's not with us. --But he's gonna be soon!

The lady's bringing him back from the dead,

so he can play at the big tournament!

What? What's back from the dead? And what lady?

What do you mean?

Clamp it, Goten!

You're not supposed to talk about that!

[GOTEN gasps]

Oh! I get it! Your parents are now divorced!

And he's with a new woman!

And she's bringing him to the tournament

so he can fight and win money!

Is that right?

[GOHAN] Hm?

[VIDEL] Oh yeah...

Seems we both have trouble with parents. Mm-hmm.

I... guess...

All the more reason we have to work together!

[MR. SATAN] Hey, you! Servant guy!

Has Videl come in yet?!

[SERVANT] No sir. The Mistress is still out.

She said she had errands to run.

[MR. SATAN growls]

[MR. SATAN] Errands my foot!

She's probably with a boy right now!

[NARRATOR] The days roll on, and Videl's long training sessions

are starting to pay off.

--[GOTEN yells] --[VIDEL] Oh!

Sorry about that, Goten!

[VIDEL laughs]

[thinking] Videl is really something special.

She's nearly mastered flying after only ten days of practice!

Guess that does it, Videl! You've graduated flying school!

Thanks a lot, Gohan.

Now I can go home and finish off my training

in time for the tournament.

Yeah, me too...

Well, I'm off.

Hey, wow!

I bet I can fly home this way!

Yup.

Goodbye, boys! I'll see you at the big match!

--Goodbye, Videl! --[GOTEN laughs]

[GOTEN] Bye!

Finally, she's gone!

[GOHAN] Hey... She's not so bad...

But yeah... Now that it's just the two of us,

we can start our real training sessions together!

Yeah!

Let's go!

[NARRATOR] The World Martial Arts Tournament is days away,

and fighters all over the world

are entering their final stretch of training.

[VEGETA grunting]

[NARRATOR] There are Vegeta, and Trunks...

[TRUNKS] Nine thousand one...

Nine thousand two...

Nine thousand three...

Nine thousand four...

[NARRATOR] There is Piccolo...

[PICCOLO growls]

[low rumbling]

[MR. POPO] The floor is shaking!

[PICCOLO growls]

[KRILLIN grunting]

[NARRATOR] Even Krillin...

[grunting continues]]

[thinking] Oh, my family's watching...

Okay, Krillin, look tough!

[KRILLIN grunting]

[NARRATOR] And, of course, Videl.

She's... been at it for an hour!

Still going!

Man, I wish I had that kind of power...

[TRAINERS gasp]

[VIDEL] Would ya put another one up?

Uhhh... Yeah!

Hey, Daddy...

Oh, hello Videl.

Shouldn't you be getting ready?

There's no need for it.

They should probably just send the prize medal to my mailbox!

[MR. SATAN laughs]

[BOTH grunting]

[grunting continues]

[GOTEN growls]

[BOTH grunting]

[GOHAN yells, GOTEN screams]

[GOTEN grunts]

No fair... As hard as I try, I still can't beat you!

Hey, I've been doing this a lot longer

than you have, little guy!

But those were some nice moves you pulled!

Do you think our father's really going to be there?

Guess it's gonna be your first time to see him, isn't it?

You nervous?

Yeah...

The arrangements have been made.

Is Goku ready for his grand re-entrance?

[KING KAI] He's up there...

He finished his training a few days ago.

Now he is training his mind with intense meditation.

[VEGETA] I've ridden Galactic Slugs faster than this vehicle!

[BULMA] Oh, hush!

So... Is Goku really going to show up?

He'll be there! I know it!

Heh, heh! When has Goku ever let us down before?

Of course he'll be there!

So, Krillin, I bet he'll hardly recognize you

with your goofy hairdo!

Hey... It's stylish!

[OX-KING and YAMCHA laugh]

I forgot just how funny you guys are together!

[OX-KING laughs]

Crack me up!

Are you going to be competing too, Yamcha?

[YAMCHA] Me? Nah, I'd just embarrass myself.

I gave up fighting...

So, listen Vegeta-- And this goes for you kids too...

I think we should all agree

to not turn into Super Saiyans during the fights.

What for?!

That's a good idea!

If people see you guys transform,

there's a good chance they'll recognize you

from the broadcasts of the Cell Games!

And after that! Well...

The journalists would get all your names

off of the entry forms and--

OH!-- TV cameras would be all over my front yard!

Yeah, then you'd all know what I have to deal with

in high school! It's a real mess!

[VEGETA] I don't see the problem.

When the journalists come, I'll just destroy them!

[BULMA] Vegeta! Would you behave yourself?

Fine... It's settled...

There'll be no Super Saiyan transformations

in the battles...

Of course, I'll still have the advantage.

That's okay with us, Dad!

Yeah!

Alright! Thanks, everyone!

That sure is good news for me!

Heck, maybe this way I'll stand a chance!

[KRILLIN laughs]

[KRILLIN] Y'know, fighting a Super Saiyan is like

trying to fight a steamroller with your hands tied!

--[KRILLIN laughs] --[VEGETA] Pipe down!

[KRILLIN] Oh, sorry.

[BULMA gasps]

Look, guys! I see it! There's the island

where the World Martial Arts Tournament is taking place!

Ahhh... It's game time!

Hey!

Guess I better complete my outfit now!

[GOHAN laughs]

Uhh...

[MARRON] Huh?

Hey, Gohan...

Are you really gonna wear that thing to fight?

Yeah! This way they won't recognize me!

Do I look cool or what?!

--Uh, yeah... "cool". --[GOHAN laughs]

[PUAR giggles]

Ah, gee, look at all that stuff! It's like a world fair!

You know I can't stand to be around crowds.

I wonder if Goku's here...

[CROWD cheering]

--[GOHAN & BULMA] Hmm? --[OX-KING] What?!

[BOY] Wait for me! I saw him first! I wanna get there first!

I want an autograph!

Oh, look guys, our hero! The man who saved us all from Cell

'cause we were too weak, remember?!

Do they really believe that? Mr. Satan...

He sure does like to ham it up, doesn't he?

[OOLONG] I hear you know his daughter, Gohan!

--[CROWD cheering] --[BODYGUARDS grunting]

[CROWD roars]

[MR. SATAN] Yeaah!

--[MR. SATAN whoops and yells] --[CROWD cheers]

[MR. SATAN yells]

Loyal fans all over the world, wait no more!

Your hero has arrived!

Mr. Satan, do you believe you'll have any competition?

[MR. SATAN laughs]

Let's just say my chances of winning

are about one hundred and twenty percent!

We've heard that your daughter is also taking part!

Videl, what will you do if you have to fight your Dad?

Oh, I don't know... guess I'll punch?

[MR. SATAN laughs]

Don't be silly, Videl!

[YAMCHA chuckles]

Old fool still hasn't changed a bit.

Forget about him, Yamcha.

I'd much rather track down my dad.

I don't sense Goku here, but someone else we know is.

[GOTEN] Huh? Look! It's Mister Piccolo!

Wow! He showed up!

[GOHAN] Hello, Piccolo!

I don't suppose you've seen my father yet?

Not yet. But he'll be here.

That outfit... You're really going to fight in that?

Of course!

Oh, where in the world could Goku be?

Gosh, maybe they just weren't able to bring him back!

I'll go comb the area!

Yeah! Me too.

[ALL] Huh?

Hey! I'm back!

Dad! It's you!

Goku...

Whoa! Pinch me!

[GOKU laughs]

You guys have changed a lot in seven years!

Gohan! You're giant!

[GOHAN laughs]

[KRILLIN whimpers]

Oh... Goku!

[PICCOLO chuckles]

Welcome back to Earth, Goku.

--[OX-KING chuckles] --It's him...

[YAMCHA laughs, PUAR giggles]

Oh... Wowzas!

[GOKU] So, guys... are you just gonna stand there

and stare at me all day?

--[GOHAN] Dad! --[ALL] Goku!

Oh, sweetheart... I've missed you...

I've missed you, ChiChi.

Huh?

[GOTEN] Oh!

Goten, it's okay.

Hey!

I think there's a little ME hiding behind your leg, ChiChi!

I'm Goten.

[OX-KING chuckles]

[GOKU] And I'm Goku.

Hi!

--Daddy! --Hey!

Whoa, li'l guy!

You're a strong one, aren't you?

[GOKU laughs, GOTEN chuckles]

[GOKU & GOTEN laugh]

[GOKU] Here you go! You want to be an airplane?

[GOTEN] Yeah!

[GOKU & GOTEN laugh]

Listen up, Goku.

Remember that you only have twenty-four hours.

That's all I can do.

[GOKU] Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I know.

--[BABA] I'll see you then. --[GOKU] Alright.

Thank you, Baba!

Hey! I think we should move on to the registration desk

before it closes.

[RECEPTIONIST A] Sorry, what was that name again?

[GOHAN] The Great Saiyaman!

Great... Saiyaman?

That's right!

Huh? Who is that?

[GOHAN] It's my super hero name! Cool, huh?

Sure! I guess so!

[GOKU laughs]

Next, please!

Ah... Yes...

Another for the junior division!

[TRUNKS gasps]

What's that mean?!

It's for everyone under 15 years old!

Oh, that's great.

They're sticking us with all the little kids, Goten!

Huh?!

They've changed it from the old tournaments.

What a good idea!

Thanks for the offer, man, but we'll take the adult section!

I'm sorry, but I can't do that!

There's rules!

But that's boring!

[KRILLIN laughs]

Your attention please!

All competitors come to the waiting area!

This is your last call!

Now, good luck, Goku and Gohan and Goten!

I want you boys to do the best that you can!

Yes!

Don't worry, ChiChi, I'm sure one of us is gonna win!

[thinking] It's gonna be great to see Dad fight again!

See you in the finals!

I'll be there!

Don't forget to cheer for your Daddy, okay?

[MARON] Okay!

[VEGETA] Hmph.

Buh-bye, Mom!

[CHICHI] Bye!

Be careful, okay?

Break a leg!

[NARRATOR] After all these years,

Goku is back in the land of the living.

The Z Fighters reassemble,

and the World Martial Arts Tournament is set to begin.
