Krillin finally ran into Bulma in her plane. Bulma gave Krillin the remote that'll take down the cyborgs, informing him that he needs to get within ten meters for it to work. She also offered him battle armor like Vegeta's, but he declined and informed her that everyone should be at the lookout. They bade farewell before going their separate ways.

At the lookout Piccolo and Tien were given Senzu beans, fully recovering them.

"Great job taking on Cell!" Gohan commented. "I don't think I'd have been able to do that."

"It was indeed very brave, Tien," Radditz said approvingly.

Piccolo said, "Yes, it was an honorable move, but it wasn't nearly enough. We're going to need more power."

Right on cue, Mr. Popo came outside, informing everyone that Vegeta and Trunks were about to exit the time chamber. They all rushed to the chamber's entrance and got there just as the doors opened. The first to come out of the chamber was Trunks, whose clothes were partially torn and hair grown out, and right behind him was Vegeta, whose armor was in a similar state.

"Trunks!" Ranch cried excitedly, going up to him.

"Ranch!" Trunks said in relief, giving her a hug. "I literally can't describe how good it is to see you. How are things out here?"

"Believe it or not things got worse," she told him solemnly, stepping back to take in his appearance. "But for now…" Ranch eyed him up with a suggestive grin. "Longer hair, taller, and you got in even better shape. I approve."

"Not only that but I got a lot stronger," Trunks added. "Can you believe it? After you and I spent so many years basically even I took a huge lead!"

Ranch's smile dropped and she gave him a reproving look, putting her hand on her hip. "Is that so? We'll see about that. Dad! Let's go!"

"Ha! Don't bother!" Vegeta told her. "There won't be any need, because I'm going to end all this by myself. Besides," he went on, looking at Raditz, "I'm sure that father of yours won't survive long in the chamber."

Raditz stared angrily at Vegeta but said nothing. Just like Raditz thought, Vegeta had gotten stronger, a lot stronger than either he or his brother. And judging by the way Vegeta was looking at him, he was all too eager to continue their fight from the other day with their current disparity in strength.

"Vegeta, Cell absorbed 17 and became much stronger, I saw it for myself," said Goku. But Vegeta only smirked.

All of a sudden a plane appeared above the lookout, and it landed not too far from the group. When Bulma got out and started calling for them, they all looked around in surprise and went out to meet her.

"Hey, Bulma, what brings you here?" asked Goku.

"And how did you know to find us here?" Raditz added.

"Krillin let me know after I handed him the remote for the cyborgs—I've got something for all of you," she told them, as Gohan greeted baby Trunks. Bulma then looked over and spotted her older son. "Trunks? Is that really you?" she asked, checking out his longer hair. "Did you grow?"

"Yeah," he said. "I spent a year in the time chamber with dad, and only a day passed out here."

"Then how come you didn't change?" she asked Vegeta.

Vegeta explained, "Because a pure-blooded Saiyan's hair doesn't change from birth."

"Really? I didn't know that," Goku said, scratching his head.

"You seriously haven't noticed, Kakarot?" Raditz asked in exasperation.

"Well that explains why you never got a more manageable hairstyle," Bulma told Raditz.

"Enough of this," Vegeta cut in. "Why are you here, Bulma?"

"Like I said, I came to give you something," she said, annoyed. "And if you don't lose the attitude you won't get it." Bulma took a capsule out of her pocket, pressed its button, and tossed it, producing a crate.

The crate was filled with battle armor modeled after Vegeta's. As Vegeta, Goku, and Gohan began to look through it, Ranch remembered something and asked Trunks, "Can I get a second?"

He was about to join in the picking out armor, but said, "Uh, sure."

When they stepped away from the group, Ranch said with a serious tone, "Like you said, you're a lot stronger now." She shot Vegeta a glance. "I can tell that you and your father can take on Cell even as he is now, but my dad thinks yours is going to milk it."

"Yeah I can see that happening," Trunks said, sighing.

"Don't let him," Ranch stated, giving him a hard look. "Don't let Cell absorb the bimbo. End the cyborg. End Cell. End all of this. Please."

Trunks smiled at her. "You can count on me."

"Hey, not to interrupt, but I've got armor for you two, too!" Bulma called.

They rejoined the group, and Trunks picked out armor like the ones Vegeta, Goku, and Gohan were putting on.

After Piccolo and Tien turned down the battle armor she offered, Bulma approached Raditz, saying, "So, Raditz, for you—"

"No offense, Bulma, but I already have armor," Raditz interrupted, patting his chest. "Besides, I'd rather not match Vegeta."

Looking annoyed, she said, "I figured as much, that's why I made these." Bulma took out a set of black and brown armor. "Here, I made it look similar to what you wore when you first came to Earth. And I made a set for Ranch, too, so you two match! Won't that be cute?"

"Cool!" Ranch said, holding up her armor.

"In that case, I'll be more than happy to accept," Raditz said gladly. He then got an idea. "Tell me, how much does this expand?"

"As much as the original does," she answered.

"Good to hear."

"But why—? Ranch, what're you doing?" Bulma exclaimed, seeing what she was doing.

Ranch, who was about to take off her shirt, looked over and asked, "What?"

"You shouldn't get changed in front of everyone else here!"

"Why?"

"Why?" Bulma repeated, flabbergasted. "Trunks, could you please explain?"

Trunks, though, didn't seem to know what was wrong, either. "Explain what?"

"That Ranch should get changed somewhere else," Bulma explained, taken back by his reply.

"What's the big deal? When we were out training in the wilderness we'd just bathe in a river or lake," Trunks told his mother.

"Well what about you, Raditz?" Bulma said, turning to him. "You can't be okay with that, right?"

But he stared at her just as confused. "I don't see the problem; we're all warriors, after all."

At a loss for anymore words, Bulma just sighed, and silently took Ranch by the shoulder to lead her away from everyone so that she could change in private.

"You all shouldn't have bothered changing," Vegeta said, when they were all dressed up. "Like I said, I'm simply going to put an end to all this myself."

Ignoring Vegeta, Ranch went up to Trunks, and said to him, "Well, good luck out there. And remember what I said."

"Don't worry, we'll take care of it," Trunks reassured her.

Trunks went in and kissed her. Vegeta's cocky attitude was immediately replaced by fury, while Bulma looked on at the scene in delight. Without saying anything else, Vegeta powered up and took off.

Bulma huffed as she watched him go. "What a blockhead. Any other father would be glad that his son has such a pretty girlfriend."

"Well, I better go after him," Trunks said.

"Wait," said Goku, looking through the pocket of his ghi. "You should take these." He handed Trunks two Senzu beans.

"Thanks, Goku," Trunks said, accepting the beans and putting them away.

"Well, be careful out there," Raditz told him. "I wouldn't want Ranch getting upset if anything happened to you."

"Yeah, and watch out for Vegeta too," Bulma asked.

Trunks nodded. "Will do." He powered up and took to the sky.

Bulma now rounded on Ranch. "So, you and Trunks! That is just so adorable! I hope that you're treating each other right."

"Yeah, but we've barely seen each other since we showed up here," she said a bit disheartened as she thought about it. "It'd be nice to go on a date or something when we get a chance."

Bulma giggled. "Don't you worry, I can make that happen."

As Ranch and Bulma spoke, Piccolo approached Raditz. "Tell me, Raditz, after Goku has his turn in the chamber how would you feel about going back in for another year?"

Intrigued, Raditz asked, "What are you getting at?"

"I'm going in after he's done," Piccolo explained. "And I think that if you and I go in together you'll benefit from a different type of training."

Raditz grinned. "Sounds interesting. We'll talk more later."

Piccolo nodded. "See you then."

"Ready, Ranch?" Raditz asked her.

"I was about to ask you the same thing," she told him.

"See you, bro!" Goku called out, as they made their way inside. "Make sure you and Ranch work your butts off in there!"

"Bye, Ranch, good luck!" said Gohan.

Together the father and daughter walked into the chamber and the door closed behind them.
