"Three years from now, on March 12, at around 10:00 a.m., on an island nine kilos southeast of Metro South, a pair of artificial Humans will appear, and plunge the world into the depths of terror." "So says the mysterious young man Trunks, before returning into the future." "In preparation for the upcoming conflict," "Goku and the others begin their intense training." "And then, three years later, the dreadful day of destiny finally arrives." "What kind of battle awaits Goku and friends?" ""Murderers Who Leave No Trace" " Which Ones Are the artificial Humans?"" "Hey, Gohan!" "You don't have to fly yourself all out like that, we'II get there in time!" "You're going to use all your strength before the fight even starts!" "Okay!" "Son Goku, how about it?" "In your honest opinion, against these new foes..." "Do you think we can win?" "There's no way to know without seeing them first." "I'II tell you once we get started." "How nice for you to be so carefree." "I'm sure I can beat these artificial Humans..." "But I can't shake this terrible foreboding feeling I have." "terrible foreboding?" "piccolo, do me a favor, if things get rough on you, don't overdo it." "After all, if you die, the dragonballs will disappear too." "Father, look!" "It's Kuririn-san!" "Kuririn-san!" "Look how big you're getting, Gohan!" "Hey!" "Yeah." "What's the matter, Kuririn?" "After all this time, aren't you excited to see us?" "We're just about to wage the fight of our lives against horrible monsters." "How can you expect me to be cheery?" "I'm not a Super Saiyan, you know." "About nine kilos southwest of Metro South!" "There it is!" "That island there!" "This is a pretty big island." "Yeah." "This is bad." "There's a relatively large city down there." "If we can't lure the artificial Humans away from here, the people down there will likely become casualties of our fight." "You're right." "I can feel a pair of large Ki over on that mountain." "That's probably Yamucha and the others." "Right, Iet's go!" "It's them, all right, Goku's group!" "Hey, there!" "Hey!" "We've been waiting for you." "You guys are a little late." "bulma!" "BuIma-san!" "Yoo-hoo!" "Wow, look how tall you are now, Gohan-kun!" "I don't believe it!" "What are you doing here?" "Observing, of course!" "It'II be all right." "I just want a quick look at the artificial Humans, then I'II go back." "Never mind that, I'm more surprised by what you've got in your arms there, BuIma-san." "You've gotten married, right?" "You and Yamucha-san." "He isn't my kid." "We broke up some time ago." "You'II be shocked when you hear whose kid that is." "Your daddy is Vegeta, huh, Trunks?" "How did you know that?" "I wanted to surprise everyone here, so I didn't contact any of you!" "Uh, yeah, I just sort of had a hunch, you know?" "I mean, his face does kind of look like Vegeta's." "You even guessed his name!" "Wow, really?" "incredible!" "I wonder if I have psychic abilities." "That's really Vegeta's child?" "So where is Vegeta, anyhow?" "I don't see him around." "well, I don't know." "We haven't been living together." "He'II probably be here before long, though." "He's apparently gone through a Iot of training to prepare for this day." "Oh, he'II come." "He'II come for sure." "As far as Chaozu goes, I Ieft him behind this time." "frankly, he's not up to this kind of fight." "So, what time is it now?" "Let's see, it's 9:30." "They'II show themselves in another thirty minutes or so." "You really should go back now, while you still can." "especially since you've got that baby with you!" "Like I said, once I get a peek at the artificial Humans, I'II go back." "So, thirty more minutes." "Hey, Trunks!" "Trunks-chan!" "I've made you another toy!" "Huh?" "Don't tell me bulma's taken him to show off around the neighborhood again?" "I swear, there's just no helping someone like her." "On the other hand, he's such a cute grandson!" "Who can blame her?" "Boy, is he going to be surprised when I show him this." "GoogIy-googIy-goo!" "Say, Kuririn-san, you give it a try!" "Who, me?" "I wonder what kind of face should I pull?" "Ahem, I haven't done anything yet." "There's someone headed this way." "They aren't malicious." "Maybe it's Vegeta-san." "Nah, he is malicious." "Ah, there they are, there!" "Yajirobe!" "I'm glad I got here in time." "Have you come to fight too?" "Here." "I'm droppin' off these Senzu Karin-sama sent yas." "My hero!" "You can always count on Karin-sama!" "well, besta luck to yas." "Yajirobe, you're fighting too, ain't you?" "See now, I ain't like the resta you idiots, 'cuz I don't wanna die." "Don't tell me ya expected me to hang around with y'aII." "Don't you guys find it a little strange?" "It's well past 10 o'cIock now, yet we still haven't felt any sign of our opponents." "Now that you mention it..." "You don't suppose what he told us isn't true, do you?" "I mean, artificial Humans!" "Come on!" "well, he did say it was around 10 o'cIock." "It's only 10:17 now, so it's too early to tell for sure." "Yeah, but figure, we're not sensing any strong Ki." "If they're really all that strong, we should be able to sense them anywhere on Earth." "What happened!" "?" "It's Yajirobe!" "Look!" "There's someone there!" "They attacked him!" "They've descended into the city!" "Where did they go!" "?" "Did you see them, Goku?" "No!" "I didn't see what they looked like!" "How can it be?" "I didn't sense any Ki at all!" "It's because they're artificial Humans!" "They don't have Ki!" "They what!" "?" "Where are they!" "?" "Where did they go!" "?" "Damn." "If we can't sense their Ki, we'II just have to search them out visually." "AII right." "Let's split up and find them." "bulma, hang on to these!" "Remember now, don't get in over your heads." "Once you find them, Iet the rest of us know immediately!" "Gohan, you look after Yajirobe." "He should still be alive." "Right!" "Let's go!" "Shoot!" "Where are they!" "?" "Where did they go!" "?" "I wish I'd had Trunks show me a photo of them or something." "Dammit, man." "Where are they!" "?" "He-he flew here!" "That's not them." "Them either." "Hey, have you seen anyone out of the ordinary?" "Y-yeah!" "?" "What!" "?" "You!" "Are you okay?" "Who were them guys?" "Are those guys really here somewhere?" "Hey, look at that." "It fell into the ocean." "Hey, did you fellas see it too?" "A Sky Car just blew up!" "Did you see it?" "What's the matter?" "Hey you, get out of my way!" "I said move it!" "Stupid cIod, what do you think you're doing in the middle of the stree-...?" "A scream!" "A human with an abnormally high energy level is approaching." "could my Search System be malfunctioning?" "It is not a malfunction, No. 20." "I am tracking the same energy." "But this reading is far beyond our data for a normal person." "We've found him already." "It is Son Goku." "It came from around here." "Where are they?" "Where have they gone?" "Hey, you there!" "You two!" "Who was it that killed these people?" "Did you see anything?" "Yeah, there were two strange guys." "Right, they were there just a second ago, but they disappeared." "They disappeared?" "Damn." "In any case, I'd better call everyone." "No, it is not Son Goku." "There is no exact data match." "There is a 96 percent probability that this is the human Yamucha." "In any event, we can take a great deal of energy from him." "But without those guys here, what's the point in calling everyone in?" "I don't suppose you guys saw anything?" "Like where those two murderers ran off to?" "Don't tell me..." "We're them." "Everybody!" "What's that!" "?" "M-my-power..." "finally, the attack of the artificial Humans, whose only purpose is that of mass slaughter, has begun." "What will be the fate of Yamucha, their first victim?"
