Summary
Goku arrives on King Kai's planet via Instant Transmission
Since Cell blew up the Earth's Military, Goku uses his Instant Transmission to get to King Kai because he thought if he got Earth a new Guardian the Dragon Balls would come back. King Kai locates the Namekians, so Goku teleports to where they are. After some talk, Dende agrees to be the Guardian of Earth. Goku brings Dende to Kami's Lookout.
Dende "creates" the new Shenron
Meanwhile, it is announced that the world champion Mr. Satan will fight Cell in the Cell Games.
Soon, Dende is about to revive Shenron when Goku asks if Dende can make it powerful enough to bring back everybody Cell defeated. Dende says "Yes, but then it will only be able to grant 2 wishes.” Mr. Popo gets a stone Dragon, and Dende makes the new Dragon Balls and the Dragon Balls fly off. Goku goes collecting the Dragon Balls and finds two. The picture cuts to Perfect Cell waiting for the Cell Games tournament.
