Summary[]
Cell has arrived at the perfect spot for the Cell Games. When deciding on the size of the ring, he decides to make it slightly larger than the ring for the World Martial Arts Tournament. He proceeds to clear out a chunk of ground, blowing away a house in the process. He then proceeds to lift up a large rock and slice up the rock into smooth stone, cuts it into squares, then moves the squares towards the area he blew away to build the floor of the ring. With the ring set up, and deciding to add decorations later, Cell heads off for the ZTV station to make his announcement.
At Kame House, Yamcha and Krillin are near the TV, which is currently showing a weather report. However, screams from the TV get their attention, and they see that Cell has arrived at the TV Station, having killed the weather reporter. Cell proceeds to introduce himself as the monster who has been killing people across cities, and tell the world about the upcoming Cell Games tournament in 9 days, laying out the rules of the tournament, some that are the same as the World Martial Arts Tournament, and some that are unique to the Cell Games, and challenges all of the world's greatest fighters to compete against him. If they lose, he will kill everyone on Earth before completely destroying the planet. To show that he's not bluffing, Cell proceeds to blow a massive hole in the wall of the ZTV Station. He then threatens that if the world doesn't want the same level of destruction to happen to them, they must find someone capable of fighting, then flies out of the hole in the building he created.
At Kame House, Master Roshi, Krillin and Yamcha look at the TV in horror, wondering just who could stand a chance against Cell, since both Vegeta and Trunks had failed, and even doubts if Goku could win. However, at Capsule Corp, Vegeta takes off his shirt and announces that he's going to train in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again, unconcerned at the deaths of Earthlings, but is unable to sit until he kills Cell, at which Future Trunks announces he's going too. Bulma wants to give Trunks a haircut first, so that his long hair doesn't get in his eyes.
Cell's broadcast has filled the world with fear, the civilians having no faith in the army or their champions. However, they had forgotten about a little boy, who, long ago, had slain the tyrannical King Piccolo and, more recently, turned aside the threat of the invading Saiyans, as well as the galactic emperor Frieza. The world had forgotten Goku, who, at that very moment, was training hard with his son.
