Summary[]

King Furry addressing the situation on television
Goku says he will go search for the Namekians now, and Mr. Popo says he would also be happy to have a new Guardian. Piccolo asks Goku how he will get to them if they don't know where their located. Goku says he will use Instant Transmission causing Piccolo to wonder if he can really seek out ki that far away. Goku searches for quite some time as the others watch him, but then says he cannot after all. Goku wonders if he could find them from King Kai's Planet, though, and teleports away. Future Trunks wonders if Goku's idea will work out, though Piccolo is skeptic of what to expect from Goku. Meanwhile, everyone at Kame House is watching TV, and King Furry is coming on air, live from King Castle. As he speaks to the Earthlings, he talks about how in the previous broadcast, the army that was sent to deal with Cell, was in turn destroyed, and accepts responsibility. While wishing for an alternative method to deal with the monster, he states there are none, as nothing can be done. However, he asks that the people not lose hope. Hope that there can be another savior like the young boy who defeated King Piccolo years ago and asks the people to pray to their "God". As he signs off the air, Krillin notes that the aforementioned God is gone.
Goku arrives at King Kai's planet, saying hello to Bubbles and goes to King Kai who was sleeping on a lounge chair. King Kai asks if he is currently a Super Saiyan and why he came here, and Goku realizes he doesn't know what's happening on Earth. King Kai retorts by saying the region of the universe he rules over is incredibly vast, and he cannot just watch the Earth. Goku brings up how he was napping in spite of this, and King Kai yells at him to just tell him what is going on. Goku begins to explain but King Kai immediately freaks out. However, Goku has not said anything yet, and King Kai tells him to hurry on with the explanation. So, Goku explains everything and King Kai takes this all in, saying crazy things are always happening to Goku. Goku says it would really help if he would point him in the direction of the Namekians new planet.

Goku teleports on New Namek
King Kai looks for their location while Goku tells him how Mr. Popo is lonely and everything, causing King Kai yells at him to be quiet so he can concentrate. Goku holds his hands over his mouth until King Kai finds them. He points in the direction of the planet and Goku concentrates facing in that direction. King Kai realizes he has learned Instant Transmission from the Yardrats and says what a useful technique it is. This time Goku tells King Kai to be quiet to which King Kai comments how Goku is now experiencing what he was going through a few moments ago. Then Goku finds it, and teleports away to New Namek where the Namekians surprised to see him while Goku says there are lots of Piccolos. Moori asks who he is, and Goku tells him his name and that he is from Earth. Moori gets excited, knowing that he was the one who fought Frieza and rescued them. Goku nervously acknowledges this, but but notes that Namek did explode. Goku finishes explaining everything to them, and how he needs someone to come to Earth and be their new guardian. Moori says there is someone here who would be perfect for the task, and calls Dende over. Dende comes up to them, and Moori says how he is always saying he wants to go to Earth and hang out with Gohan and Krillin. Goku wants to know if he can make Dragon Balls though, and Moori says he has an excellent member of the Dragon Clan. Goku thinks that is great and says hello to Dende. Goku thanks them all and Dende says goodbye to everyone. Then they teleport back to King Kai, just to say it went well, and then immediately straight to Kami's Lookout on Earth. Piccolo is surprised to see Dende, and Goku tells Dende to wait here while he goes and gets Krillin and Gohan.

Mr. Satan declaring to beat Cell.
Krillin happens to be watching TV at Kame House with Yamcha. A reporter says the world fighting champion and superhero Mr. Satan will be appearing at the Cell Games. Master Roshi is confused as to who Mr. Satan is, as Yamcha replies that he is the Martial Arts Champion of the world. The reporter asks Mr. Satan if he will be alright since Cell did wipe out the King's army. Mr. Satan says that was just a trick involving explosive powder and calls Cell an amateur. He goes on to threaten to beat up Cell, and the crowd cheers for him. Krillin and Yamcha are unenthused, Krillin saying that he is just another dead idiot. Goku arrives and asks Krillin to come with him. He is brought the new guardian, his name is Dende. Then Goku arrives at the Lookout with Krillin and Gohan to see Dende, and upon seeing each other again, they are excited to be reunited once more. While Krillin is showing off Gohan's new look and asking if Dende really will be the new guardian, Future Trunks asks Goku if the reason he is so calm now is because he has found Cell's weakness. But Goku does not think Cell has such a weakness, leaving Trunks speechless.
