[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z,

Stage Three was in full swing as Super Saiyan Gohan

matched strength and wits with Dabura,

Lord of the Demon World!

[DABURA] Wha--?!

[GOHAN grunts]

[NARRATOR] It was a brutal contest!

Fist to fist! Blow for blow!

Each warrior on a relentless quest for victory!

[NARRATOR] A win for Gohan would mean the end

of Babidi's plans to resurrect the evil Majin Buu!

But does the young Super Saiyan have the power necessary

to defeat the mighty Dabura?

Vegeta didn't think so!

But Gohan wasn't about to give up,

even though the odds seemed decidedly against him!

[NARRATOR] But just as fast as Babidi could say:

[BABIDI] Papparapa!

[NARRATOR] The fight was over!

After perceiving the latent evil in Vegeta's heart,

the cunning Dabura immediately formulated a new strategy!

To bring Vegeta over to the dark side

and let him do the dirty work!

[BABIDI cackles]

[GOHAN] Well, what now?

[SUPREME KAI] I don't know!

I don't understand what's going on!

Dabura is Babidi's greatest fighter!

It doesn't make sense that he would withdraw from the fight!

They don't have anyone after him!

He's their best!

[GOKU] He mentioned a new recruit.

Do you think he was bluffing?

[SUPREME KAI] I'm not sure.

But it seems unlikely that a fighter of that caliber

would just drop into their laps at a time like this!

Yeah! They're definitely up to something!

But what?

[VEGETA] Agh. This whole thing would be over with right now

if it wasn't for you!

[VEGETA] I hope you're proud of yourself!

Whatd'ya mean?

I mean you disgraced us with your pitiful performance!

There's no excuse for you fighting the way you did!

You have Saiyan blood running through your veins!

A warrior like Dabura should be dead!

And now you're sitting here, scratching your head!

Wondering what's next when it should already be finished!

You are pitiful!

Fighting with that soft,

righteous look on your face! It's brute strength

that determines the outcome of a battle, not goodness!

The mightiest survive and the weak perish!

You Piccolo and Krillin were turned to stone!

[gasps]

That's because they're weaklings!

Is that the kind of fate you want for yourself?

Garden statues!

If they're lucky someone will make a birdbath out of them!

[GOHAN thinking] Maybe Vegeta's right!

If he'd fought Dabura he might've destroyed him!

Then Krillin and Piccolo would be restored

back to their normal selves!

Ohhh... What have I done?!

Hey, look, Gohan didn't know that Dabura

was gonna run off!

I'm sure he would've wanted one of us

to fight him if he knew!

[VEGETA] Oh, yes! Now there's a pleasant excuse!

You're as soft as he is, Kakarot!

And I'm tired of playing around!

I'm going to put an end to this thing, once and for all!

[GOKU] Vegeta, what are you doing?!

No more weak-hearted excuses, Kakarot!

I'm taking control of this operation, now!

And for starters I'm going to blow this ship to kingdom come!

[GOKU] Wait! That might do us more harm than good!

[SUPREME KAI] Goku's right!

If you blow up the ship now,

you'll most certainly revive Buu,

Vegeta! Listen! Please!

You don't know Buu.

His power is horrible! He's pure evil!

Not even the four Kai's combined could stop him!

He's murdered millions of innocent people!

Shut up!

[SUPREME KAI] Don't be a fool!

If Buu's revived, this planet's finished! History!

All living things will be exterminated.

He'll turn the Earth into a dark, lifeless tomb!

Enough!

[VEGETA] Now you listen to me!

What happens to this planet is none of my concern!

The strongest will find a way to survive!

And the weaklings shall perish!

What kind of person are you?!

[GOKU] Hey! Cut it out! This has gone far enough!

How dare you!

You better let go of me, Kakarot!

[GOKU] Come on!

Let's put what's happened behind us

and move forward from here!

[VEGETA] All right! Whatever you say, Kakarot!

Now, what I wanna know is why they withdrew

from the fight!

Yes! It doesn't make sense, does it?

It was the perfect opportunity!

They could've gathered more energy.

Maybe Dabura wasn't bluffing.

Maybe they did find a new recruit.

It's definitely a possibility. But I don't see how.

Happening upon someone that could beat us all...

What are the chances of doing that?

Slim to none, I'd say!

[SUPREME KAI thinking] Perhaps the "perfect warrior"

that Dabura was speaking of is right here among us!

[SUPREME KAI gasps]

Oh, no! Don't tell me...!

He's the one!

[BABIDI cackles]

[BABIDI] Yes! Yes, yes, yes! I love it! I love it!

This is too good to be true!

[cackles]

[DABURA] I take it that you are pleased, master.

[BABIDI] Oh, yes! Immensely so!

What a great discovery you have made, Dabura!

This one is nothing like the others!

Yes! You hit the nail right on the head!

What a beautiful, arrogant, selfish piece of work!

Yes!

Oh, my! Look how uptight he is!

[cackles]

Yes! He is a rare find, indeed!

Can you imagine the energy he'll create

when he turns on the others?

Resurrecting Buu will be oh, so easy...

[cackles] All right! What are we waiting for?

Let's do it!

[BABIDI grunting]

[BABIDI yelling, grunting]

[DABURA grunts]

[yelling]

[gasps]

[VEGETA grunting]

Huh? Vegeta! Hey, what's wrong?

[GOKU, SUPREME KAI gasp]

[screams]

[GOKU] Vegeta! What's going on?!

[VEGETA] Something's... attacking... me!

[GOKU] Where?! We can't see anything!

[VEGETA] Inside!

Fight it! Resist!

[VEGETA] I... can't!

[SUPREME KAI] You must!

[screams]

[SUPREME KAI] That's it! Resist!

[VEGETA grunting, yelling]

[GOKU, GOHAN gasp]

[VEGETA grunting, yelling]

[SUPREME KAI] Don't let him win, Vegeta!

Don't let him do it!

That's it! Fight! Fight it!

Supreme Kai! What's happening to him?

Vegeta, no! Don't let him!

You've changed! You're not that way any more!

Babidi has no claim over you!

What's Babidi doing? Trying to kill him?

Worse than that!

He's trying to take over his mind and enslave him

so that he'll do whatever Babidi wishes him to do!

[GOHAN] Isn't there any way that we can help him?

[SUPREME KAI] He struggles because his heart is impure!

He has to choose himself!

Don't let him take you, Vegeta!

Let go! The past is the past!

Don't think of it! Be innocent and clear!

How can you say that...?

I'm not innocent!

I'm afraid it's too late. Yes! You belong to us, now!

Now, allow me to restore your power

to the way it was before you began trying to resist

your dark nature!

[BABIDI yelling]

[VEGETA yelling, grunting]

[VEGETA yelling, grunting]

[gasps] Whoa! No way!

[VEGETA yelling, grunting]

[VEGETA yelling, grunting]

[GOHAN] Don't let them do it, Vegeta!

Don't let them use you! You're stronger than they--

[GOHAN yelps]

[GOKU] Gohan! Are you okay?!

Yeah. I'm fine.

[VEGETA yelling]

[GOKU] Vegeta! No!

[SUPREME KAI] Huh?

[GOHAN] Fight it, Vegeta!

[VEGETA grunting, yelling]

[VEGETA yelling]

[GOKU, SUPREME KAI grunt]

What a monsterous power! It's terrible!

I can't even approach it!

[cackles]

[yells]

[VEGETA groans]

Dad, talk to him!

Vegeta! We're here. It's okay.

We're going to help you get back to normal!

No! Stop!

[BOTH gasp]

It's too late!

Hmm.

No! Vegeta...

[VEGETA grunting]

[VEGETA laughing]

[CROWD cheering]

[yells]

[CROWD cheers]

[ANNOUNCER] Yes! Yes!

Our beloved champion for another year, Mister Satan!

I am the strongest man alive! Oh yeah!

All right! Mister Satan! You rock!

Yay! We love you!

[yells]

[MR. SATAN] I am the greatest fighter in the world!

And nobody can stop me!

[yells]

[MR. SATAN] I am the untouchable champion

that can never be defeated!

[yells]

[MR. SATAN] I am the magnificent king of the Martial Arts!

[LADIES cheering]

Yeah!

[MR. SATAN whimpers]

[yells]

[CROWD cheers]

[ATTENDANT 2] Hey, Get back to your seat!

Come on, now! I mean it!

I don't get paid enough for this!

Get back to your seat!

[VEGETA laughs]

Vegeta!

Look at his head!

It has an M on it like Dabura's!

[SUPREME KAI] It's Babidi's insignia!

Vegeta is the new recruit that Dabura was talking about!

[GOKU] Are you saying that Vegeta's against us now?

[SUPREME KAI] That's exactly what I'm saying.

[SUPREME KAI, GOHAN, GOKU gasp]

[BABIDI cackles] Oh, my! This is going to be good!

Ah, haa! But they need a more interesting place to fight!

Papparapa!

Great! What now?

It looks like Babidi's decided to transport us again...

[CROWD cheering]

Hey! We're back!

He sent us to the Martial Arts stadium!

[MR. SATAN gasps]

Huh?

Wow!

How'd they do that, Eugene?!

I don't know! Beats me, man!

Goku! What's going on?!

How did they just appear there like that?!

Instant Transmission maybe?

[YAMCHA] No!

They have to be touching Goku for that!

[CHICHI laughs] They're back! Thank goodness!

[BULMA] Vegeta!

Great! There goes our prize money!

Nothing ever changes with those two!

They never earn a dime! And as always, they're late!

Hey, wait!

Maybe they could still get some prize money

if they knocked Mr. Satan out in front of all these people!

It doesn't work that way!

Hush up!

Goku and Gohan beat Cell and that bum got rich off it!

Now tell me, is that fair?!

No! But that's the way it goes, Chichi!

Hey, guys! Take a look!

Something's seriously wrong here!

[YAMCHA, CHICHI, BULMA, PUAR] Huh?

[ANNOUNCER] Excuse me, gentlemen!

The championship has already been concluded!

You all look very strong, but there's always next year!

[VEGETA] We're just here for a little exhibition match!

Ahh!

Goku! I didn't see you back there! Welcome!

I'm afraid you and your friends have arrived a little too late!

[VEGETA] Huh?

Look out!

[yelps]

[VEGETA grunting]

[VEGETA yells]

[yells]

[MR. SATAN grunting]

[cackles]

[BABIDI] Now what shall I have him do?

Let's see! Hm! Oh, yes! I know! Of course!

[cackles]

Vegeta, this is your new master, Babidi, speaking!

It's time for you to have a little fun!

You can start by killing your friends!

I won't...!

My goal is to fight Kakarot...!

The... The others are nothing!

Vegeta! How could you?

Wow! This guy's something else!

Even after all that, he's still not completely under my control!

But he'll come around eventually!

Yes! I know you will! Won't you?

It almost looked like Vegeta attacked the others!

--Did he? --I think he just powered up.

But he is being a bit cocky.

[ROSHI] Vegeta is different somehow.

[MR. SATAN whimpering] I can't believe that they're back!

Wh-What if they come after me?

What am I gonna do?

[MR. SATAN whimpering]

[VEGETA] It's time, Kakarot.

Vegeta! No!

[VEGETA cackles]

[gasps]

Oh, no!

[ANNOUNCER whimpering]

[GOKU grunting]

[yelling]

[GOKU yelps]

No!

Look out!

[CROWD screams]

[GOHAN, ANNOUNCER gasping]

[gasps]

[GOHAN gasps]

[CHICHI, ROSHI gasping]

Ohh, Vegeta!

[VEGETA cackles]

No! How could he?

This is... too awful.

There must be some mistake!

[YAMCHA, PUAR gasp]

[CROWD screaming]

[grunts]

[gasps]

Shame on you!

The Vegeta I know would never have done this!

[NARRATOR] After many years, Vegeta is once again

challenging Goku to mortal combat on Earth!

Can the possessed Prince chase out the demons

that Babidi has let loose in his head?

Or will disaster strike once again!

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