[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z...

After a lengthy rest,

Goten and Trunks awoke to some strange new surroundings,

unaware that Piccolo had carried them

to the Lookout for safe keeping.

[TRUNKS] This place is huge!

[NARRATOR] Meanwhile, the loss of Gohan and Vegeta

weighed heavily on the remaining Z Fighters' minds.

Little could they know,

far away on the Supreme Kai's planet,

a glimmer of hope still remained.

[SUPREME KAI] Kibito, revive Gohan with your power.

Whoa! What's the...?

[NARRATOR] Gohan has been revived!

The injuries he sustained from Majin Buu have been healed.

But for what purpose has he been transported

to the World of the Kais?

[SUPREME KAI] I brought Gohan here to get the Z Sword!

It's the only way that Majin Buu can be defeated now.

[NARRATOR] Sheathed in stone atop a pillar of rock,

the Z Sword has lain dormant for untold centuries,

waiting for the arrival of a warrior

strong enough to harness its hidden power.

Many have tried,

but so far, none have succeeded in pulling it free.

[SUPREME KAI] Now try to pull it out!

[NARRATOR] Is Gohan strong enough

to remove the Z Sword from its resting place?

And if he is,

will this legendary weapon

really give him the edge he needs to beat Majin Buu?

There's only one way to find out!

Stay tuned for Dragon Ball Z!

[thump]

[BULMA growls]

[BULMA] It's just too hard... for me to believe...

How could Gohan beat something like Cell,

but he couldn't stand up to that fat, disgusting...

[BULMA sobs]

Yes, it is hard to believe, but it's true.

Gohan is dead, and my poor ChiChi...

Now she's lost her husband and her son!

Dead, dead, dead! I'm so tired of hearing you people say that!

We haven't even found a body yet, and you just...

...stand around here acting defeated

like we've... already buried him!

[VIDEL growls]

Videl, I'm sorry. I lost a friend, too.

But if we can't sense his life force anymore,

then that... means that, well... That he's passed on.

[VIDEL] Stop saying that!

I don't believe it...

[VIDEL] I absolutely refuse to believe it.

[VIDEL] He can't be gone before we ever had a chance together.

[VIDEL thinking] Gohan...

Here goes.

Huh?

Uh, I was wondering exactly...

I mean... Ha, ha. What's supposed to happen when a person

actually manages to pull this thing out?

[KIBITO] The sword draws on its master's deepest hidden powers.

The two become one weapon,

capable of cutting down even the mightiest of foes.

Oh wow, it sounds like this sucker must be really sharp!

Guess I'll have to be careful.

Don't worry, you can't free it.

[SUPREME KAI] Kibito, we've all had our chance,

now give Gohan his.

If you're ready, give it a try.

[GOHAN] Here goes nothing.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[yells]

[grunting]

[screams]

[GOHAN groans]

Ahh, stupid hands.

Gohan, I think you should try it again.

You guys weren't kidding about this thing!

C'mon, hands, be strong, be strong, be strong!

[yells]

Not even your Super Saiyan strength

will be enough, I'm afraid.

[grunts]

Your effort is in vain.

If the Supreme Kai was unable to extract the sword,

how can a simple mortal like yourself ever succeed?

[grunts]

[GOHAN yells]

[yells]

[GOHAN grunts]

Gohan, you did it!

The Z Sword is free!

[SUPREME KAI] Well, Kibito,

it would seem that you have underestimated our young friend.

[KIBITO growls]

How does it feel, Gohan, to hold the legendary Z Sword?

Let's see.

[grunts]

[GOHAN yells, grunts]

[SUPREME KAI gasps]

Don't worry, I've got it.

[grunts]

Hey, you know what?

I think I figured out how I can use this thing

to beat Majin Buu.

Is that so?

[GOHAN] It's so heavy, if I could just get him to hold it,

he won't be able to move his arms!

[gasps] How dare you make jokes?!

Have you no respect for the power that is in your grasp?!

This sword is the ultimate weapon, and you removed it.

Now you must master it.

You must work harder than you ever have,

because if you continue trembling the way are now,

your battle with Majin Buu will be over before it's begun!

Well, Kibito, maybe you'd like to give it a try?

For you, this should be no problem.

[GOHAN] Ready?

[yells]

[SUPREME KAI] How embarrassing.

See? Like I said, it's heavy.

[KIBITO grunts]

[growls]

[BOTH gasp]

[KIBITO] Uh, it's not that heavy.

You couldn't even lift it off the ground...

[KIBITO] Well, I'm not the one who has to use it!

You are! So you had better get started!

[GOKU] Now remember, even if the fusion is successful,

it will only last for 30 minutes.

Once that time's up, your bodies will separate

and you guys will return to normal.

And then you won't be able to do another fusion for a while.

You follow me?

Ah, 30 minutes isn't long enough for this kind of fight.

Actually it is,

as long as they do the fusion correctly,

a half an hour is all they'll need to take down Majin Buu.

This technique really is that powerful!

Okay, now, the two of you,

I need you to become Super Saiyans for this.

What's wrong?

[growling]

Huh...?

Listen, we wanna know. You're supposed to be

the strongest guy in the universe or something, right?

So why why weren't you there?

Why weren't you there to save Gohan? Or my dad?!

I'm sorry, Trunks.

What? You're sorry?! You could've helped!

"I'm sorry" isn't gonna bring back my dad!

Gohan always told me that you could do anything!

So why didn't you save him from that Buu monster?!

Why didn't you save him?!

Don't just stand there, say something!

What can I say?

Look, I wish I was the strongest guy in the universe.

Then I could have helped. But I'm not. I can't beat Majin Buu.

But, with the fusion technique, I know the two of you can!

If you'll trust me,

and you're willing to learn what I have to show you,

we can still get that monster

for all of the terrible things he's done.

I'm game.

Okay.

[BABIDI laughs]

[BABIDI using ESP] Your attention please, Earthlings!

It's me again!

The great wizard Babidi,

along with my faithful counterpart, Majin Buu.

The two of us have been out

doing a little bit of sight seeing.

And what a glorious site we've found.

A perfect place for Majin Buu to grab a little snack.

[BUU] Mm-hmm!

[BABIDI] I hear the local cuisine is to die for!

Of course, what he was really hungry for

was some Majunior Trunks, and Goten a la mode.

[BABIDI laughs]

[BABIDI using ESP] Alas, I guess we'll just have to make do.

I can't tell where he is. What city is that?

Trust me guy-- you don't wanna know!

[PEOPLE screaming]

Why is that wizard guy talking about us?!

I don't know, but if you close your eyes you can see him, too!

Don't do it! Don't close your eyes!

[yells]

[BABIDI] You all know what I want. I'm lis-ten-ing!

Which means you still have time

to tell me where my quarry is hiding.

I'll give you until I finish speaking this sentence.

To late! Ha! It looks like Buu gets to have that snack.

Yes! But what should he eat?

I'm sure he's had more than enough candy for one day.

Hold on, I think I know just the thing

to hit the spot, chocolate!

Oh-ho!

[screaming]

Ooh.

[laughs]

Whoa-ho!

[screaming]

Buu want chocolate!

[screams]

[screaming]

[laughs]

What's happening?!

[GOTEN] He's really gonna eat all those people!

[GOTEN, TRUNKS scream]

Hey, uh, was that Cindy and Janet I just saw?

Yeah, I think it was.

What's going on out there?!

[MR. SATAN] What are you guys whining about?

[growls]

[MR. SATAN] A true martial artist

is never distracted from the task at hand.

Only a fool dwells on foolish things.

Now get your minds focused and back to my training!

Yes!

Human beings can fly,

it's just that our bodies have forgotten how to do it.

We have to re-teach ourselves,

just like Videl did. Okay, let go!

And release me now!

Come on, body of mine, wake up and remember your lost powers!

[screams, grunts]

[screams]

[grunts]

[screams]

Mr. Satan, hurry, we need your help!

[gasps]

I've told you over a dozen times

never to open that door when we are training!

I'm so sorry, sir, but you have to see this!

[gasps]

What's all this?

--[chanting] Mr. Satan! --[WOMAN] It's our hero!

--Mr. Satan! Mr. Satan! --Our savior! Please protect us!

--[chanting continues] --Yo, Mr. Satan!

--Mr. Satan! Mr. Satan! --I gotta challenge for you!

--[chanting] --Won't you defeat Majin Buu?!

[chanting] Mr. Satan! Mr. Satan!

It's certainly easier said than done.

Mr. Satan, you rock!

Please, save us!

You are truly an example to us all!

[CROWD cheers]

--Mr. Satan! Mr. Satan! --[MR. SATAN growls]

[yells]

[MR. SATAN] My people, my people!

You have nothing to fear. It can be revealed now.

I have been secretly training,

and am now in the middle of developing

a devastating new fighting technique.

Once I have mastered this new method,

I will possess strength far beyond that of anyone.

And then, like the mighty lion hiding in the shadows,

I shall pounce on and completely destroy

this evil beast called Majin Buu!

[MR. SATAN laughs]

[thinking] Oh no, what am I doing?!

[burps]

No, they'll destroy it all!

[BABIDI] Well, the fun is over here.

It seems that Majin Buu is actually full for once.

I guess that means the next city

will have to settle for being pummeled into oblivion.

Okay, time for us to move on.

[TRUNKS using ESP] Babidi, Majin Buu!

Huh?!

Can you hear me? This is Trunks!

And I'm Goten!

So, the two of you have decided to find some courage.

No, we've decided to find you,

and you don't wanna know what we've got in store for that day.

It won't be pretty!

You two stop talking to him or he'll find us!

[BABIDI] Hello? Where are you boys? Where'd you go?

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

[BABIDI laughs]

I think it's time we got started. What do you say?

[BOTH] Mm-hmm.

[NARRATOR] Having witnessed Babidi's horrific spectacle

of mass destruction,

Goten and Trunks are ready to do whatever it takes

to stop the wizard once and for all.

And if Goku is right,

these young Super Saiyans may be the only ones who can do it!

Can they master the fusion technique

before Majin Buu claims any more innocent lives?

Stay tuned for scenes from the next Dragon Ball Z!
