Plot

General Rilldo Unleashed

File:Baby18.JPG

Bizu tries to absorb Goku and Trunks into his construct.

The first half of this arc has our heroes arriving on the supposedly deserted planet M2 as they continue on their quest for the Black Star Dragon Balls. However, they find themselves caught in a trap by the planet's inhabitants whom happen to be mutant robots. They find that Giru was deceiving them all along and had lured them into this trap. Giru, who joins General Rilldo at his side, is referred to by his model number and further congratulated. General Rilldo recommends that Giru receive a medal of honor for a mission well done. Giru likes the exceptional attention and honorable medal but regrets betraying Goku's team.

General Rilldo congratulates Giru and recommends that he receive a medal of honor for his service.

Dr. Myuu transmits a message to Rilldo telling him to transport the newly captured specimens for further examination. Goku and Trunks are first attacked by an absorbing Bizu, who tries to hold them in his mechanism, completely draining them of their energy. After they are exhausted, they are taken to a laboratory to be examined like guinea pigs and they are separated from Pan, who continues to do battle with and overcome the shifty Natt, who seems to be capable of phasing through walls and integrating himself with his surroundings. However, after Pan successfully defeats him, she is also captured.

Giru wears an honorable medal.

Pan manages to escape and later rescues Goku who does battle with the robotic group of commandos known as the Mega Cannon Sigma Force and their leader General Rilldo, who reveals a secret technique, entrapping Trunks in metallic alloy (a reference to Han Solo of the Star Wars franchise). Trunks is then transported away by Rilldo for examination and experimentation.

Goku battles against the combined might of the Sigma Force Cannon.

Eventually, the entire Sigma Force (including Commander Nezi, Ribet, and Bizu but minus Natt) come together to form the deadly Sigma Force Cannon, a huge mechanized shapeshifter with a slew of robotic enhancements. After Goku is able to take down the entire Sigma Force Cannon by himself, he is met by General Rilldo. Rilldo reveals his intention to integrate organic beings into Machine Mutants across the entire universe, explaining that the strong must survive and the weak must perish.

General Rilldo undergoes a mechanical transformation.

The maniacal General assumes a more combat effective form, with a drill-based arm and a sleek design. After Rilldo continues to hold his own against the powerful Goku, he assumes a Meta form, in which he also reveals that he can control the entire planet's environment, assuming control of Goku's surroundings and melting around him like a deadly alloy.

General Rilldo assumes his meta form.

Goku successfully defeats Rilldo after a grueling battle against the Meta brute and runs to Dr. Myuu's lab to join his allies. Here, Dr. Myuu orders Giru to aid him capture the three once again, but Giru has a change of heart and manages to rescue the trio thanks to a clever plan concocted by Trunks. Trunks reveals that Myuu has been hiding a secret and that he isn't the only Machine Mutant around.

The Baby Secret

File:Baby4.JPG

Dr. Myuu is afraid because Trunks has discovered the secret of Baby.

It is then that we see Myuu's true creation, Baby, who breaks free from his containment after being revived but stopped by the three Saiyans. However, as a defeated and injured Dr. Myu escapes, a piece of Baby scattered remains jumps onto his skin, later busting out of Dr. Myu and reforming into his original state. Baby tries two more times to kill Goku, Pan and Trunks but fails though he manages to escape to Earth.

This is where the second half begins, as Baby begins to spread his infection across the planet and growing. He soon runs into Goten and takes over his body, then Gohan before finally fighting Vegeta and making his body his permanent host. Goku, Pan and Trunks arrive back on Earth only to find everyone, even their own family, against them due to Baby's mind control (save for Majin Buu, who's body is immune to Baby's eggs and Hercule, who hid within Majin Buu).

Baby Vegeta

Goku confronts Baby, but his kid body isn't powerful enough to reach the levels needed to beat Baby who gains more power from Gohan, Goten, Trunks, Bulla, and the rest of the world, and thus is beaten and nearly killed if not for Kibito Kai rescuing him at the last minute. Baby then goes to use the Black Star Dragon Balls to wish for new planet, Tuffle, and begins to move all his mind controlled subjects to it. Among the others who were possessed by Baby were Videl, Chi-Chi, Dende, Mr. Popo, Krillin, Android 18 and Marron. Dende handed the Black Star Dragon Balls over to Baby, so he could wish the Planet Tuffle back, thus sealing the Earth's fate.

While on the other plane, Goku is accidentally dropped into a weird dimension where he must play for his life. After escaping from that and arriving on the Kai Planet, he begins special training needed to regrow his tail (since it was his power source when was a kid) but the process is sped up once Goku sees Pan in trouble. Goku is then transported to the Tuffle Planet, tail and all, and tries out his power. Despite the power of his maximum Super Saiyan 3 level, he still couldn't evenly match Baby. But seeing the Earth in the sky, as if it were the moon, he becomes a gold colored Great Ape, however he goes on a rampage since he can't control himself in that form. It isn't until Pan confronts him and pours her heart out to him that Goku is able to reach the next and final level of transformation, Super Saiyan 4! Goku pounds on and almost defeats Baby, but the villain gets assistance from the mind controlled Bulma when she creates a device that allows him to increase his power to that of a Golden Great Ape, evenly shaping the battle as Goku and Baby eventually double KO one another.

Attack of the Tuffle Gorilla

While this is going on, Elder Kai finds a way to get rid of the infection from a special water in the lookout point and sends Kibito Kai to fetch it and frees Trunks, Goten, and Gohan. Because of this, Gohan and the others show up on the scene to help Goku defeat Baby, however Goku knows that neither Gohan or Goten and Trunks' fused counterpart Gotenks would be strong enough, hence they all must give him their power. Uub (who was eaten thanks to an attack thrown back at him) attacks from the inside of his stomach while the freed Sayians take their shots at giving Goku their ultimate powers, along with Pan who joins in as well. Just as Baby spits Uub out, Goku finishes collecting the needed power to restore his power back to full, thus a couple Kamehamehas and an energy blast later, Baby's down for the count. Severely weakened, Baby leaves Vegeta's body and tries to escape in a spaceship. But Goku blasts it with a Kamehameha, directing it into the sun and killing Baby for good.

Piccolo's Destiny

However, the crisis is not over. While everyone is freed from the infection, the second wish on the Black Star Dragon Balls increased Earth's countdown destruction. However, Goku comes up with a plan to move anybody left on Earth to the Tuffle planet. With the help of his family, friends, and the Kais' they manage to pull it off. Yet Piccolo decides to stay behind as his death would void the power of the Black Star Dragon Balls and keep them from being used again. Piccolo gives every bit of power he can to Goku for him to save a little boy, has one last emotional talk with Gohan, and dies a dramatic death as Gohan screams his name in sadness. Goku then uses the Namek's Dragon Balls to wish Earth back to normal and everybody back on it. Finally closing out this arc before moving onto the Super 17 Saga.

Notes

• It is unknown exactly what becomes of the Tuffle Planet. It was never confirmed to have been destroyed by any means. It is presumed to still be around, serving as a replacement for the moon.
• Elder Kai knew of the Super Saiyan 4 transformation, and even called it by name after Goku transformed, yet he did not seem to know why Goku's power level did not increase at all before transforming. Also, in the Kid Buu Saga, he didn't suggest the transformation as a means to beat Buu.
