       The super Namek-sei-jin is born!]
aired: 1992.05.27

Trunks and Gohan were flying to Kame House.  Trunks was thinking by
himself and had no idea what that shell was.  It didn't exist in his
future world.  According to the time machine's computer, it had arrived
four years ago.

Number 17 and number 16 were waiting in the truck as number 18 went into
a clothes store.  She asked the store keeper to bring out the best
clothes in the store.  She said that it was ugly, but there was nothing
better since they were in the country.  Then number 18 just walked out
wearing the new clothes and went into the truck.  The store keeper ran
after her because she didn't pay, but got very scared when he saw
number 16.  After the truck went off, the storekeeper called the police.

Some police air cars chased after the truck.  Number 18 flew out and
pounded the police cars, making them all crash.

Buruma was flying home in her air plane.  On the news, she heard that
there was a mysterious disappearance of everyone in one city.  That city
was close to where they had found the time machine.  Buruma quickly
called Kame House.  She told them to turn on the TV.  The news said that
all of the 15,000 people's clothes were lying on the ground.  It was just
like the bodies had melted.  Kuririn thought it was the cyborgs.  But
Buruma said that it wasn't.  She said that Trunks and Gohan would know.

Trunks and Gohan arrived at Kame House.  Kuririn quickly told them to
watch the news.  It was a live report.  There was the sound of screaming
and rifles firing.  Then all of a sudden the sound vanished.  The TV
reporter said that he would try to go closer.  Then the screen went
blank.

At Kamisama's place, Kamisama was looking down and trembling in fear.
He said that a monster had appeared.

Kuririn changed the TV to another channel.  It had the news, but it was
the same.

Piccolo asked Kamisama about the monster.  Then Kamisama said that he
didn't have to say anything.  He said that if they merged together,
everything that he knew would go to Piccolo.  Piccolo was happy that
Kamisama had agreed to combine together.  But Piccolo demanded that he
be the "base".  Kamisama agreed, saying that Piccolo was much younger
and stronger than him.  Then they got ready to merge.  Kamisama told
Mr. Popo that the Earth did not need a Kamisama now.  It needed a
warrior.  Then Piccolo and Kamisama merged.  Piccolo said, "I'm not Kami
nor Piccolo.  I'm just a Namek-sei-jin who had forgotten his real name."
Then Piccolo flew down toward the city where the monster had appeared.

Trunks explained to everyone what he and Gohan saw.  Trunks said that
it must be the monster that came out from the shell.  He said that he
would go check it out.  Gohan said he would go too.  Then Chichi said
that he couldn't go.  He had to stay and protect Goku.  So Trunks went
off by himself.

Piccolo arrived in the deserted city.  The monster was dragging a human.
The mysterious monster appeared in front of Piccolo.

aired: 1992.06.03

The new Piccolo went to the city where the monster was going around
doing something to all the civilians.  Then the monster appeared in
front of Piccolo.  Piccolo felt some strange ki from the monster.

The monster was dragging a man.  The man, who said that he was the
richest in the city, asked Piccolo to save him.  He offered a lot of
money.  Piccolo then told the monster to let go of the man.  The
monster dropped the man.  But immediately the monster stuck his tail
into him and sucked out all of the life energy.  When he was through,
only the man's clothes remained.  Then the monster said that Piccolo
was next.  Piccolo was surprised that the monster knew Piccolo's name.
The monster increased his ki and created an explosion.  The monster
said that he was Piccolo's brother.

At Kame House, Gohan said that he felt two of Piccolo's ki's.  Gohan and
the others went out and also felt Tenshinhan, Freeza, and Vejiita's ki's.
They didn't know what was going on.

Trunks, who was flying toward the monster, also felt it.  Vejiita, who
was training by himself, also felt it too.  He couldn't believe it.

Then they all felt Goku's ki.  Gohan quickly flew to Goku's bed and saw
the Goku was still sleeping.

Piccolo asked the monster to tell his own identity.  But the monster
didn't want to talk.  He just said that Piccolo would become his food.

Piccolo increased his ki and got ready to fight.  The monster started
shaking at Piccolo's power.  Piccolo also said that he wasn't Piccolo.

Kuririn also flew off and caught up with Trunks.  Trunks had no idea
what going on.  He noticed another huge ki, but didn't know who it was.
Kuririn recognized that the new ki was Piccolo.  Trunks said that it was
too different.  But Kuririn said that it was Piccolo who had combined
with Kamisama.  He said that he was a super Namek-sei-jin.  Trunks was
surprised that Piccolo had become so strong.

Piccolo said, "It was lucky for me that you got rid of everyone in this
city.  Now I can fight all out."  Then Piccolo created a huge energy
ball and blasted the monster.

The cyborgs were still driving in the mountains, but number 17 quickly
stopped the car.  He felt the power of an explosion.  Number 16 used
his power radar.  Number 17 asked who was fighting.  But number 16 said
that the data was not in his memory.  He also said that one of them was
just as powerful as number 17.  Then number 17 said that the power radar
must be broken, because there was nobody as strong as him.  They got
back into the truck and drove off.

The monster got out of the rubble.  Then Piccolo started attacking him.
The monster tried to protect himself but Piccolo was too fast.  Piccolo
kept hitting the monster.  The monster flew up into the air to escape.
Then the monster fired his energy at Piccolo.  But it didn't have much
effect and they started close range fighting again.

The monster said that his power was not complete yet.  Piccolo asked who
had sent him in the time machine.  The monster said that he did it
himself, by turning himself into an egg.  The monster was surprised that
Piccolo knew so much.  Then the monster said, "You probably don't know
about this," and got ready for his next move.  The monster got into the
kamehameha stance!

[kamehameha is Goku's move]

Trunks, Kuririn, Gohan, and Vejiita all recognized Goku's ki.

The monster used the kamehameha move and fired at the very surprised
Piccolo.  Piccolo was shocked, but he flew away just in time to avoid
the blast.  But the monster quickly caught Piccolo in the air.  Then the
monster used his tail to try to suck out Piccolo's energy from his arm.

Trunks and Kuririn, who were flying, had no idea what was going on.
Trunks guessed that the monster must be the thing that came out from
the egg in his time machine.  But they had no idea how it could have
the ki of Piccolo, Goku, Vejiita, and Freeza.

At Kame House, Goku was still sleeping.  But he was not in any pain.
Kamesennin, Yamucha, and Uron were watching TV.  The news said that the
army had been called in.  Many tanks with missiles were going toward the
scene.

Piccolo couldn't do anything about the monster's tail sucking out his
energy.  Then the tanks arrived.  After the monster fired at the tank,
the tanks started attacking.  But the tanks and missiles had no effect
on the monster.  Then the monster fired at the tanks and blew them up.

The monster then started sucking the energy from Piccolo again.
Piccolo's left arm had shriveled up and become small.  Then Piccolo
hit the monster in the head with his own head and got away.

The cyborgs were slowly driving through the mountains.  Number 16 said
that the fighting had ended.  But number 17 said again that his radar
had to be broken.  He said that there couldn't be anyone with the same
power as him.

The monster and Piccolo were on the ground now.  Piccolo agreed that it
would be the monster who would win if they fought now.  Piccolo asked
again about the monster's identity.  Since he thought that he could
defeat Piccolo, the monster told Piccolo.

The monster was a cyborg called Cell.  He was born from Dr. Gero's
computer.  Dr. Gero had collected cells from the best warriors.
Dr. Gero gave up on his experiment, thinking that it was a failure,
but the computer kept doing it on its own.  It used cells from Piccolo,
Goku, Vejiita, Freeza, and Freeza's father.  It didn't take the cell
from Trunks because they had enough Saiya-jin's.  Piccolo then asked how
he got the cells.  Cell said that there was a small spy robot watching
all of the battles.  He said that it was even watching them now.  There
was a small robot that looked like a bug.  Piccolo blasted it right away.
Piccolo said that they had destroyed Dr. Gero's lab.  Cell said that the
computer was still deeper underground.

Then Piccolo asked one last question.  He asked why Cell had returned to
that time.  Cell said that he needed two more special cells in order to
become complete.  It was number 17 and number 18.  In his future,
number 17 and number 18 had been killed by Trunks.  So Cell killed Trunks
and took his time machine.

When Piccolo asked why Cell needed that much power, Cell said that the
computer just gave the instructions to get more power.  Cell also said
that it might just be the cells of the Saiya-jin and Piccolo in his body
asking for more power.

Then Piccolo pulled out his shriveled up arm.  A new healthy arm grew
back in its place.  Piccolo said that Cell made the mistake of forgetting
that he can grow limbs.  Then Cell and Piccolo got ready to fight again.

title: Piccolo tsuukonno daishippai!  Cell ga machini hanasareta!
      [Piccolo's regretful mistake!  Cell escaped to the city!]
aired: 1992.06.17

Vejiita didn't know what was happening, so he flew off toward the scene.

Piccolo (who had just grown a new arm) was facing off against Cell.
Piccolo was still stronger, even if Cell had sucked out one arm full
of energy.  Piccolo told Cell that he had combined with Kamisama.
So Cell thought that there are no more dragonballs.  Even if someone
died, they cannot recover any more.  The Piccolo said, "You don't know
my true power.  I'll show you."

Cell jumped backwards.  Just then Kuririn and Trunks arrived.  Kuririn
recognized Piccolo as the one who combined with Kamisama.  Trunks figured
that Cell must be the one from the egg.  Kuririn asked about Cell.
Piccolo said that he would tell them later.  Piccolo said that Cell was
at a big disadvantage.  "You can't win, and I won't let you escape."

But Cell said, "I'll get number 17 and number 18.  You can't go anything
about it."  Then Cell flew up into the direction of the sun.  He used the
taiouken to temporarily blind Piccolo, Trunks, and Kuririn.  Then Cell
escaped by hiding his ki.  Piccolo asked if taiouken was Tenshinhan's
move.  Kuririn answered that it wasn't a difficult move, and Goku and
Kuririn could also do it too.  Piccolo tried to feel for Cell but he
couldn't, as Cell was holding his ki while escaping.

At Kame House, Chichi called everyone up to Goku.  Goku was sleeping and
smiled in his sleep.  Everyone said that he was going to recover soon.
Then Kamesennin said that this smile was not a regular smile.  It was the
smile that meant that he was ready to fight a strong opponent.  Yamucha
started talking about Goku beating up the cyborgs to save the day.  Then
Chichi became VERY angry.  She said that she would not let Goku fight
right away.

Cell was running through the forest.  Then he came to a highway.  He
found a sign pointing to a nearby city.  He wanted to suck more human
energy to increase his power level.  Since he was standing in the middle
of the road, a bus almost ran into him.  The bus was carrying a team of
"battle ball" players. [looks like football]  Since Cell didn't move,
some of the players came out to challenge him.  Cell then beat up the
players and sucked out their energy.

Vejiita was on his way to the scene of the battle.

Piccolo got mad at himself for letting Cell escape.  Piccolo increased
his power level very much.  Then Vejiita arrived at the scene.  Vejiita
was shocked at Piccolo's strength.  Vejiita asked what had happened.
Piccolo said that since Tenshinhan was on his way too, he would tell
everyone when he arrived.  Vejiita asked how Piccolo had become so
powerful.  Trunks told him that Piccolo had combined with Kamisama.
Vejiita got mad that a Namek-sei-jin had become more powerful than
himself.

Piccolo was thinking that he couldn't defeat number 17, number 18, and
number 16 even with his new power.  So he felt that that only thing he
could do was to defeat Cell.

Then Tenshinhan arrived.  Piccolo told everyone all about Cell.

Number 17 was driving through a beautiful country side.  Number 18 was
still complaining about her clothes.  She wanted new clothes as soon as
they came to a new city.

Piccolo told everyone that they had to defeat Cell before he becomes
more powerful.  Vejiita thought, "Everyone's becoming stronger.  I'm
pissed off.  Aren't you Kakarotto?"
[Kakarotto is what Vejiita calls Goku]

Cell had finished off the battle ball team and arrived at another city.

Cell had escaped from Piccolo and was loose in the city.  Everyone was
determined to keep Cell from combining with number 17 and number 18.
But Vejiita said that it didn't matter.  He said that it would be just
fewer opponents to defeat.  Vejiita also said that he would make himself
better by going beyond a super Saiya-jin and defeat everyone.  Then he
went off to train by himself.

Kuririn asked Trunks, "Even if we go back in time and destroy number 17
and number 18, it won't change our history, right?"  Trunks agreed.
Kuririn said, "Then even if we go and destroy Cell now before he develops
it won't change anything either."  Trunks agreed, but he said that they
should destroy it just so another Cell wouldn't get developed in this
time line.

Then Trunks and Kuririn went off to Dr. Gero's lab.  Piccolo and
Tenshinhan went to look for Cell.

While they were flying, Trunks said to Kuririn that he had never thought
about going beyond a super Saiya-jin.

At Kame House, Gohan was training by himself outside.  Then when his
mother came calling, Gohan took out the desk that he had capsulized, and
pretended like he was studying.  Chichi brought some snacks for Gohan.
Chichi was happy that Gohan was studying, and said that her dream was
for Gohan to become a great scholar.  But Gohan said to himself that he
wanted to be strong just his father.

Trunks and Vejiita arrived at the place where Dr. Gero's lab had been.
Then they started blasting holes all over the place to look for the
entrance to the secret room below.  Trunks found a little hole and they
went down to the room.  They found the computer and the organism that
would turn out to be Cell.  Trunks also found the design plans for
number 17.  Trunks thought that they could find some weakness in
number 17 if they showed the plans to Buruma.  After grabbing the plans,
Trunks and Kuririn destroyed the underground lab.

While they were flying back, Trunks handed the plans to Kuririn and
asked him to give the plans to Buruma.  Trunks said that he wanted to
go to Vejiita and train with him.  He wanted to see if it was really
possible to go beyond the super Saiya-jin.  Kuririn said that Vejiita
might not want to train with Trunks, but Trunks went off.

Piccolo and Tenshinhan found the remains of the battle ball team that
had been sucked dry by Cell.  Tenshinhan tried to feel for Cell,
but he couldn't find any trace.

Cell had arrived in the next city.  Cell started to suck the energy out
from the citizens.  Then Tenshinhan felt the ki of the humans that were
being killed.  Piccolo and Tenshinhan quickly flew to the city.  But
when they arrived, Cell had already escaped.

Buruma and her father were looking over the plans for number 17.
Buruma's father said that there were many things that he didn't
understand.  Buruma and her father said that they would do their best
to look for a weak spot in number 17.

Goku was still sleeping calmly at Kame House.

When number 17 asked if they were close to Goku's house, number 16 said
that they were very close.

Cell had arrived at a new city.

      [Goku awakens for the battle!  Go beyond the Super Saiya-jin!]
aired: 1992.07.01

Cell had been going around different cities sucking up people's energies.
Cell was at Basil airport.  A guard man was shooting at Cell, but it
didn't stop him.  When the man ran out of bullets, Cell sucked the man's
energy.  The TV had news about the "monster".  They warned everyone to
be careful.  Cell just laughed and destroyed the TV.  There was a young
girl and her very young brother hiding under a table.  But Cell found
them, so they tried to run away from Cell.

Piccolo and Tenshinhan were flying around looking for Cell.  Since Cell
was hiding his ki, Tenshinhan couldn't feel him.

Cell was chasing the girl and her brother through the airport.  When the
girl fell down, Cell jumped for them.  Just when Cell stuck his tail
into where they had been, the girl and boy disappeared.  Kuririn had
come and saved them.  Kuririn was flying back to Kame House and had just
happened to fly by the airport.  Kuririn told the girl to escape.
Then Cell started to attack Kuririn.  Cell was happy that he can get
a lot of energy from Kuririn.  The girl and boy tried to escape by
flying an airplane.

Kuririn knew that he couldn't win against Cell.  So he used the taiouken.
Kuririn jumped to the plane just as it took off.  After the blast of the
taiouken had cleared, Kuririn tried to look for Cell.  But Kuririn
couldn't find Cell.  Then Cell stuck his tail into the cockpit of the
airplane.  Cell was on top of the plane!  Kuririn flew and tried to knock
Cell off, but Cell was too strong.  Then Cell hit Kuririn into the wall
of the plane.  Kuririn's head was stuck and Cell was approaching him.
But just then Piccolo and Tenshinhan arrived.  So Cell disappeared.

Trunks was flying off toward Vejiita.  He was thinking about what had
happened since he had come to this time.  He knew that history had
changed because he had come back in the time machine.  He thought that
he had caused this danger.  Trunks said that if his father can go beyond
a super Saiya-jin, he can too.

Piccolo, Tenshinhan, and Kuririn looked around the airport, but couldn't
find Cell.  Cell was holding his ki and hiding in the control tower.

Number 17 was driving the truck through the mountains.  They were getting
close to Goku's house.  The road was very bumpy and number 18 was
complaining.  Number 17 said that it was fun.  But number 18 got out of
the truck and blasted all of the trees.  She cleared the road so it was
very smooth.  Number 17 complained that the fun was gone now.  Number 16
gave a very mean look.

[Number 16 did this before in some earlier episodes too.  He seems to
 like nature a lot.]

Yamucha, Gohan, Piccolo, Tenshinhan, and Kuririn flew off in the
airplane to look for Cell.  In the airplane, Cell wouldn't be able
feel them.

The ground started shaking at Kame House.  Chichi fell down and thought
that it was cyborgs.  She went upstairs to look for Goku.  But Goku
wasn't there.  Then she looked out the window.  She saw Goku training
outside.  Chichi jumped out the window to go to Goku.  Goku had totally
recovered.  When Goku hugged Chichi, he tossed Chichi very high into
the air.

Goku had been listening to everyone's story while he was sleeping, so
he knew what was going on.  Chichi complained that Goku wasn't ready to
go fight yet.  Goku said that he wouldn't.  He said that if Vejiita
couldn't win, he couldn't win either.  He said that he had to train
and go beyond a super Saiya-jin.

Cell wanted to combine with number 17 and number 18 to become a perfect
fighting machine.  We was going around sucking energy from humans so he
can be strong enough to fight everyone.

Goku had recovered.  But he wasn't going to fight right away.  He said
that he wasn't strong enough yet.

Goku was getting ready to go beyond the super Saiya-jin.  He said that
it would take one year of training.  Goku also said that he knew a place
where he could do it in only one day.  He told Chichi that he wanted to
take Gohan.  Chichi didn't want Gohan to go, but she knew that she
couldn't stop Goku.  So she said that this would be the last time and
that after the battle with the cyborgs had ended, she wouldn't let anyone
interfere with Gohan's study.  Also she wanted Goku to work.  Then Goku
used his instantaneous teleportation to go to the airplane.

Just when Kuririn was saying that he wanted to see Goku, Goku appeared.
Everyone in the plane was surprised.  Kuririn dove at Goku and hugged
him, with tears in his eyes.  Gohan was very happy to see his father
and his eyes were full of tears too.

Goku called Piccolo "Kamikoro-sama".  Piccolo told Goku not to combine
his names.  He told everyone that he would go train with Gohan in the
place where they could do one year of training in just one day.  Piccolo
knew that Goku was talking about the "seishinto tokino heya" (the room
of spirit and time) which was at Kamisama's place.  Piccolo said that
there was nobody who had ever lasted one year in the room.  Even Goku
in the past had lasted only one month.  Goku said that he would take
Vejiita and Trunks too.

Then Kuririn asked, "With a new very strong enemy, are you scared?
Or happy?"  Goku answered, "Both."  Then Goku and Gohan took off with
the instantaneous teleportation.  Kuririn was happy that Goku had not
given up.

Goku and Gohan arrived in the mountains where Vejiita and Trunks were
training.  Trunks said that Vejiita just stood there at the edge of the
cliff and didn't do any training with him.  Goku went to Vejiita.
Vejiita told Goku to get lost.  When Goku told Vejiita about the room,
Vejiita agreed to go.  But he said that he wanted to go first.

Number 18 was going through Chichi's clothes looking for something
to wear.  But she didn't find anything that she liked.  The cyborgs had
arrived at Goku's house.  Number 16 said that he couldn't feel Goku's
power anywhere.  But he guessed that Goku would be at either Kame House
or Capsule Corporation.  So the cyborgs decided to go to Kame House.

Cell was going around killing more people at an amusement park.  The
plane arrived, but Yamucha and the others found that it was too late.

Mr. Popo showed Goku and the others to the room.  Vejiita asked Goku
why he was going to train with them.  He said that his final target was
Goku.  Then Goku said, "This opponent isn't one that one person can
defeat."  Vejiita said, "You'll regret it later."

Vejiita and Trunks went into the room.  Trunks said, "The air is thin.
Gravity is many times normal."  They walked out a little bit.  There
was nothing there.  It was just a white, empty space.  Trunks understood
why Goku could only last one month before.

Yamucha and the others took off in the plane.  They couldn't do anything
because Cell was hiding his ki.  Piccolo said that Cell was getting very
strong now.  He was thinking that the only way to prevent Cell from
combining with number 17 and number 18 would be to defeat the cyborgs.

When everyone was resting at Kame House, the cyborgs arrived.  Piccolo
woke everyone up and they went outside.  Piccolo told them Goku wasn't
there.  Number 17 asked where Goku was.  Piccolo said that he wouldn't
tell them, and went with the cyborgs to a nearby uninhabited island to
fight.  He told the others not to come.

As they got ready to fight, Piccolo said to number 17, "It won't be as
easy as last time."

While Goku and others were at Kamisama's place for their training,
the cyborgs arrived at Kame House.  Since Piccolo wouldn't tell them
where Goku was, Piccolo and the cyborgs went to a nearby island to
fight it out.

Number 17 said, "If you don't talk, I will kill you this time."
Then Piccolo answered, "It won't be as easy as last time."

Before the fight began, Piccolo noticed that number 18 and number 16
weren't going to fight.  So Piccolo thought that he had a chance.
Piccolo raised his ki very high before attacking.

Even at Kame House they could feel Piccolo's ki.  Everyone was very
surprised at how strong Piccolo had become.  But Kuririn said that
Piccolo could be much stronger.

At Kamisama's place, Goku and Gohan felt that Piccolo was going to fight.
Gohan wanted to go.  But Goku stopped him.  Goku said that they weren't
strong enough and would just get in the way.  It was getting close to
the time when Vejiita would come out of the room.

Just before Piccolo attacked, number 16 yelled out that it wasn't
Piccolo.  Number 17 was surprised, and Piccolo attacked.  Piccolo got
some punches and kicks into number 17, and they started close range
fighting.  It was an even match.  Piccolo had a slight edge and was
pounding number 17.  Number 17 couldn't believe it.

When number 17 had just gotten up from the ground, Piccolo fired a huge
energy blast at him.  But number 17 flew into the air and avoided it
just in time.  There was blood coming from number 17's mouth.

At Capsule Corporation, Bulma and her father were trying to figure out
the secret of number 17.  But it was too complicated and Bulma couldn't
make the device to stop number 17.

Piccolo and number 17 started fighting again.  Piccolo started firing
energy bolts at number 17.  Piccolo missed with most of his shots.
Then number 17 deflected on of the shots.  Piccolo was surprised.
Then they started close fighting again.

Number 18 was getting impatient.  She yelled at number 17 to hurry up.

Number 17 said that his "number 1 in the world" power was nothing like
that.

Piccolo started firing more shots and all of them missed number 17.
Number 17 asked where he was aiming.  Piccolo had shot all around
number 17 and the energy balls had surrounded number 17.  Piccolo said,
"You can't escape!"  Then Piccolo sent the balls moving all around
number 17.  The balls centered on number 17 and caused a great
explosion.

When the smoke cleared, the island had disappeared.  But number 17
was in his protective energy barrier.

Then they went to another island to continue the fight.

Cell was in another city sucking up more energy.  Then he felt Piccolo's
great ki.  He knew that Piccolo must be fighting against number 17.
Cell said, "My power is already beyond yours," and immediately flew
off toward Piccolo and the cyborgs.

Goku had recovered, but number 17 and Piccolo were already fighting it
out.  Then Cell felt Piccolo's ki and flew as fast as he could to the
island where Piccolo and the cyborgs were fighting.

"You have a great power although you're not a cyborg."  Number 17 wiped
the blood away from his mouth.  "I don't care who you are.  I just want
to know where Goku is."

But since Piccolo didn't tell number 17 where Goku was, they got ready
to fight again.  Number 17 said, "I'll fight for real now."  Then they
started close range fighting again.  Number 17 landed some punches into
Piccolo.  Then Piccolo said, "You have great speed, but your punches
lack power."

Number 17 got mad and they continued the battle.  Piccolo was landing
his punches and kicks too.

Goku and Gohan were waiting outside of the room where Vejiita and Trunks
were training.  They just prayed that Piccolo can last until Vejiita and
Trunks finished.

Piccolo and number 17 continued their battle and caused a volcano on the
island to erupt.  Number 18 was wondering how many islands they had to
destroy before the battle was over.

Kuririn, Tenshinhan, and Yamucha were just waiting at Kame House.
Then Kuririn felt Cell approaching them.

"I have been waiting for a long time for this day.  The day I become
complete,"  Cell was saying, as he was flying toward the cyborgs.

At Capsule Corp, Bulma was working hard to build the device to deactivate
the cyborgs.  Baby Trunks was crying and Bulma's father was trying to
calm him down.  Yajirobe was complaining to Bulma that she should take
care of her baby.  Then Bulma finished.  She said that now she can
completely deactivate the cyborgs.  When Bulma held Trunks, he stopped
crying.

Number 17 and Piccolo's battle continued underwater.  Then they flew
off and kept fighting.

At Kame House, Kuririn got a phone call from Bulma.  She told him that
there was a special circuit built in to deactivate the cyborgs.  She
said that she has finished making the device to trigger it.  Bulma said
that she would bring it right away.  Tenshinhan said that if they
destroyed the cyborgs, Cell couldn't make himself complete.  Then
Kuririn remembered number 18 giving him a kiss.

Gohan and Goku also felt Cell.  But all they could do was wait for
Vejiita to finish.

Number 17 and Piccolo continued fighting on another island.  They kept
slugging it out like two heavy-weight boxers.  Then number 17 said,
"Although our power is the same, there is a difference in stamina.
My power will never decrease."

Then Piccolo turned around to see Cell standing on rock looking at them.


Dragonball Z episode 150
title: Sutemino hangeki oyobazu!  Piccolo moetsukiru!
      [The counterattack with his life wasn't enough!
       Piccolo had come to an end!]
aired: 1992.07.29

Piccolo and number 17 were fighting it out on an island.  Then Piccolo
turned around to see Cell looking at them.  Piccolo was very scared.
He was concentrating too much on fighting number 17 that he didn't notice
Cell approach.  Number 17 didn't know about Cell.  He wondered what the
monster was.

Cell said that the time had come for him to combine with number 17 and
number 18.  He looked around and spotted number 16.  Cell thought that
he was just an old model cyborg and decided to ignore it.

Cell jumped down from the hill and raised his ki.  The spirits of the
humans that he had killed started to fly all around him.  Piccolo was
shocked at Cell's new power.  Even number 17 was surprised.

Cell started walking toward number 17.  He walked past Piccolo and said,
"What are you going to do?  Attack me if you want to interfere."
Then Piccolo asked, "How many people did you sacrifice to raise your
power to that level?"
Cell just replied, "Sacrifice?  They were happy to be a part of me
and my power."

At Kame House, Kuririn and the others were shocked at Cell's power.
Tenshinhan said that there was nothing that they could do now.
Kamesennin said that no matter how fast Bulma hurried, it would take
over 20 minutes for her to come with the device to deactivate the
cyborgs.  Then Chichi suggested that someone go to Bulma's place to get
it.  She commented that everyone had become stupid because they always
just kept fighting.  Then Kuririn flew off toward Bulma.  Tenshinhan
said that he would go help Piccolo.  Kamesennin told him to stop, but
Tenshinhan went.  Kamesennin sadly said that he longed for the days
when he was the strongest person in the world.  He said that Goku was
the only one that could help them now.

Cell kept walking toward number 17.  Then number 17 said, "I don't know
who you are, but get lost.  I'm playing with him now."  Piccolo then
told number 17 about Cell's plans.  Before number 17 could do anything,
Cell started attacking number 17.  Cell easily captured number 17 and
was about to stick his tail into number 17's body.  But Piccolo kicked
Cell away.  Then Piccolo explained about Cell and his plans.

Cell told number 17 and number 18 that they should be happy to combine
with him.  Then number 16 yelled out to number 17 to escape.  He told
number 17 that Cell was too strong, and that Cell wanted to destroy the
world, not just Goku.  Number 17 got upset at number 16's words, saying
that he was still the strongest in the world.  Then number 17 and Cell
started to fight.  But Cell was too strong.  So Piccolo went to help.
But Cell easily hit Piccolo away.  Then Cell kicked Piccolo and sent
him flying.

Number 16 told number 18 that Cell was too strong.  He told number 16
to escape by herself because number 17 wouldn't listen.  He said that
it would be the end of the world if Cell stucked number 17's energy.

Cell walked over to Piccolo who was still on the ground.  Piccolo then
got up and created his largest energy ball ever.  He unleashed it at Cell
and destroyed half of the island.  After the smoke cleared number 18 said
that Piccolo had defeated Cell.  But number 16 said that Cell was still
there, and in fact didn't take any damage at all.  Then Cell slowly
floated out of the water.  Number 17 and number 18 were shocked.

Tenshinhan was floating above the island and was shocked at what he saw.
He said that the power level was just too different.

Cell walked over to Piccolo.  Piccolo yelled out, "Escape number 17!"
Then Cell hit Piccolo, and Piccolo went flying.  When Cell picked up
Piccolo, Tenshinhan noticed that Piccolo's neck was broken.  Then Cell
blasted Piccolo with a powerful energy blast.  The cyborgs were shocked
that Cell had killed Piccolo.  Then Cell threw Piccolo's body into the
ocean.

Gohan and Goku noticed that Piccolo's ki had disappeared.  Mr. Popo
started crying.  Gohan started to run, but Goku grabbed him and told
him to wait.  Gohan still struggled to go.  Goku said that they could
not do anything about it now, and Gohan gave up.  Goku was still waiting
for Vejiita, and wondered what he was doing.
