Summary[]
Goku, Gohan, and Chi-Chi are having a picnic next to a lake, and Goku points out a huge fish in the lake. Gohan is conflicted and asks if it is okay to be this carefree, and Goku tells him not to worry, it will probably all work out. Gohan does not like the "probably", but Goku assures him they can win, so there is no point in training anymore. Chi-Chi tells them their lunch is ready, so they go to eat. Some time passes, and then they are driving down a road. Goku says that all the shops are closed, and Chi-Chi says it is because they think they all are going to die in seven days, so they are not working. Then a newsman comes on over the radio interrupting the currently playing program to go a special news report, and Goku says there is someone working. However, to Goku's displeasure, the newsman says the Royal Army is on its way to 28 KS Point 5 to attack Cell. Goku yells at them to stop, since they will just be killed.
A bunch of tanks, planes, and soldiers approach Cell's ring, and the foolish army has arrived. Cell flies out of the ring, and someone says he is getting away. Cell lands on a nearby mountain, thinking he just does not want his ring to get destroyed given all the work he put into making it. Someone yells not to let him get away, and to start the offensive. A bunch of tanks and missiles are fired at Cell, and Goku's family is listening to the play-by-play on the radio, Goku wanting them to leave. The commander calls for the attacks to cease, as they have done enough. But, when the smoke clears, Cell is completely unscathed. Everyone tries to retreat, but Cell, seeking to punish the army's stupidity, just waves his hand and completely destroys the army and the surrounding area. The radio signal goes out, as Goku turns off the radio, clearly troubled with what happened. Cell thinks that was an interesting way to pass the time. Goku tells Chi-Chi and Gohan to go home, he has business with Piccolo. He then steps out of the car and teleports away, leaving Chi-Chi and Gohan confused as to what Goku would need to see Piccolo for.
When Goku arrives at the Lookout, the first thing he asks is if Piccolo has been in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber too since his power level has gone way up. Piccolo says that he has, but tells Goku to be honest, that while he has become stronger, he doubts he is any match for Cell and Goku affirms it. Piccolo smirks and says he is really blunt, and then asks why he came here. Goku asks Piccolo if he and Kami can split again now that they have reunited, since the Dragon Balls became inactive when they merged. Goku says that they will need the balls to be reactivated, so that all the people that Cell killed can be brought back to life. While Piccolo understands, he says it is impossible, as once merged they can never be separate entities again, otherwise they wouldn't had hesitated on the merger. Goku had figured as much, and then says he wants to find the planet the surviving Namekians went to, thinking perhaps someone there would be willing to come to Earth. Then they would have another Guardian, and the Dragon Balls would be restored. Piccolo and Future Trunks are stunned, as Mr. Popo is happy to hear of a potential new guardian.
