Summary[]

Because of Cell's televised broadcast advertising the Cell Games with the fate of the world at stake, sent the Earthlings into a state of mass panic. Chaos ensued as people hoarded supplies and spread out to remote locations in the world in futile efforts to escape Cell's destructive path.

Everyone on the Lookout is expecting for Goku and Gohan to emerge from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber. Future Trunks asks Mr. Popo how much longer until they exit the Time Chamber, to which Mr. Popo says that they still have approximately 3 hours left. Vegeta grows impatient with how long the pair is taking to get out, but Piccolo says that there is no rush, since they all have 9 days until the tournament, and states that he will go first, since it hasn't been a day since Vegeta and Trunks went inside and tells them to rest in the meantime. But Vegeta tells Piccolo not to waste his time, as only a Saiyan can do anything of worth to Cell, but tells Piccolo to take his turn, as he will take the remaining 8 days for himself. But Piccolo retorts, calling Vegeta an arrogant fool, by saying that spending more than 48 hours in the time chamber in one's entire lifetime is impossible. Vegeta questions what would happen if he tried, to which Mr. Popo answers, saying that the exit would disappear, and he would be trapped in the time chamber forever. Vegeta is annoyed with this answer, but Trunks tries assuring that they still have over 20 hours left in the time chamber. Just then, everyone can feel Goku's energy, indicating he and Gohan had come out, Vegeta wonders why so suddenly. With their Battle Armor all tattered and damaged, Goku and Gohan emerge out still as Super Saiyans, to everyone's surprise. Goku is confused, noticing that Vegeta and Trunks are on the Lookout, but can also feel Cell's energy, realizing he is still alive. Everyone looks at the pair in astonishment, Piccolo even in disbelief that he is looking at Gohan.

Goku asks Trunks what has happened while he and Gohan were in the Time Chamber. While Trunks is explaining, Vegeta looks at Goku and Gohan, pondering what happened to them. While he sees that they are in their Super Saiyan forms, he cannot feel the energy that a normal Super Saiyan would produce, as if the forms they were in now were their natural states. After Trunks' explanation, Goku understands that Cell has organized a tournament, which he describes as "exciting", to everyone's surprise. Goku asks Mr. Popo whether he still had the clothes he left, and Mr. Popo says yes and gets the gi. Goku gets dressed in his gi, but Trunks suggests getting another set of armor from Bulma, but Goku refuses, wanting to fight as an Earthling. Gohan asks Piccolo for clothes like Piccolo himself, so Piccolo uses his Magic Materialization to change Gohan's clothes. As Vegeta asks whether Goku can beat Cell, Goku replies that he doesn't know, since he has not seen how strong Cell is since he reached his Perfect form. Using Instant Transmission, Goku goes to the Cell Games Arena.

As Cell finished setting up the decorations to the Cell Games Arena, Goku appears behind him. As Goku and Cell enter a standoff, Cell declares that the arena they are standing on will determine the fate of the world. Goku then asks if the form Cell is in is his Perfect state, to which Cell confirms. Goku declares that he will Cell in the tournament, if Cell doesn't kill anyone else until the tournament begins. After Goku says it will be a good fight, he teleports back to the Lookout. Cell, now alone again, now anticipates that the tournament will be more fun, now that Goku will fight him.

Back on the Lookout, Goku returns. There, Future Trunks asks whether Goku can beat Cell, and Goku says he that he did not anticipate Cell being that much stronger, and that he has no way of knowing how powerful Cell could get when it's time to fight. Though Goku says that the outcome is unknown since he hasn't tried, he does make a guess and says that he does not stand a chance right now. Vegeta is stunned at Goku's admittance of Cell's strength over his, with Trunks voicing his concerns being realized. Piccolo advises Goku and Gohan to use the Hyperbolic Time Chamber again, after the order of Piccolo, Vegeta and Trunks, but Goku declines, choosing to train outside of the chamber for the remaining 9 days, to Piccolo's surprise.
