The moment Broly finishes talking before passing out from the pain, the rest of the gang arrives. When they arrive, the tournament announcer that was knocked out as well wakes up and bellows, "It was a monster! A hideous monster! He took a ball with strange stars and a list of the fighters of the tournament!" Goku then runs off with the Dragon Radar to find the monster.
While everyone tries to figure out the next move, Oolong asks, "Hey guys, what do you make of this paper?"
Roshi and Broly look at it, and it's the kanji for devil in a circle. Roshi was so shocked he dropped his cane. Both master and student tremble at this sight, with Roshi muttering, "It's impossible...It can't be true!?"
Broly then answers, "It is-It's the crest of Demon King Piccolo!"
Tien then asks, "Demon King Piccolo...THE Demon King Piccolo!? I thought he was a legend."
Roshi answers, "No, no legend. He lead an army of darkness against the world and set it to the flame."
He continues, "These monsters destroyed one city after another, except for one city. Here, they faced the students of an eager, yet determined school of martial artists. Facing these children alone, many demons fell, till only two students remained: Myself and Crane Hermit. We alone vanquished the horde, until Piccolo himself came to fight us. None of us, not even Master Mutaito couldn't harm him."
He exhales and continues, "Mutaito, my own master, was tossed aside like he was nothing. Of course, he was old and too worn down by age, but so many young warriors fell to just pawns. Thanks to me and Shen, Mutaito made a speedy recovery after that fight, but the shame of dishonor before his students, so he exiled himself. After that, Shen was a casualty, but not in body, but in spirit."
He then chokes up on the memory of him and Shen as young monks and friends. He continues, "Due to the power of the titan, I fled to fight another day. But that day became years, forced to train myself. Till one day, Mutaito returned to me, with a plan. With the new technique called the Evil Containment Wave, Mutaito successfully trapped Piccolo in an electric rice cooker. Piccolo was doomed to this eternity, yet Mutaito sacrificed his right to live to do that."
He remembers this bad memory then continues, "After that, I threw the jar into the sea. But the question now isn't who brought him back, it's now what he wants with the Dragon Ball and the list of fighters?"
Broly, though delirious from both pain and shock, answers, "Upstarts...Reclaimers to his supposed throne…"
Roshi then hollers, "Of course! Piccolo was sealed away by a martial artist. To avoid the Evil Containment Wave, he stole a list of his enemy. It's now a hit list."
Back with Goku, he catches up to the winged, scaly monster with a Dragon Ball in one hand, and the list in another, with Broly's vest under his arm. In an almost whisper like voice, the monster asks, "A child? Explain."
Goku barks, "You! You hurt my friend and took my grandfather's Dragon Ball!"
The monster just asks, "Your point?" making it clear that this is a true monster.
Goku then screams, "He didn't deserve to have his legs broken!"
Goku charges at the monster, who effortlessly dodges and blocks his punches and kicks. The monster then just kicks Goku off of the Nimbus and into the ground. Luckily the Nimbus saves him, yet Goku now realizes just how tired he is from his fight with Tien. Goku charges at the monster, only to be grabbed by his sickly blue/purple tongue. When Goku is thrown back towards his Nimbus, the monster then fired a mouth blast that looked like liquid fire.
And just like that, the Flying Nimbus was destroyed. Goku just falls back towards the earth. After a few more beatings to Goku when he touches down, the monster then takes off for his master. The monster returns to the airship with the throne room that his master, the aged, green skinned, King Piccolo, is sitting on, his beaked assistant beside him, and those three stooges that call themselves the Pilaf Gang cowering in the corner.
The monster gives to his master the Dragon Ball, who states, "Stellar work, Tambourine. It's a lot smaller than I'd thought it'd be."
Tambourine then gives the list of fighters to King Piccolo, telling him, "Master, here's the list of fighter's that could know the attack that put you in the jar. But, there is another matter." He shows to him Broly's white vest, with the Kami symbol on it, continuing, "One of the fighters was wearing this."
Piccolo starts trembling and mumbles, "No, no, no, NO! How could Kami have decided to take on a student!?"
Tambourine answers, "The boy wasn't anything special. I broke both of his legs so that he'd be an easy target in the future. I tried to crush his head in, but it was thicker than the legs." With that, Tambourine, the Pilaf Gang, and the beaked minion started putting up the pictures on a wall and prepared to find each and every one of them.
Immediately after, Tambourine takes off and starts his massacre, starting with King Chappa and Pamput, two participants that lost in the preliminaries of the tournament, laughing with crazed glee during these killings. Almost overnight, hundreds of men and women are killed by Tambourine. Back with King Piccolo, he states, "Tambourine has too many targets. I have no choice but to make another warrior."
The Pilaf Gang make a face similar to one when a durian is first smelled. With a face of contorted pain, Piccolo starts grunting then gagging. Then all of a sudden, his throat just juts out, and then he spits out an egg the size of Pilaf. His beaked assistant asks, "Congratulations, does it have a name?"
Piccolo answers, "His name is Cymbal, Piano, the seeker of Dragon Balls." Then out of the egg hatches a giant dragon monster with green scales.
After looking at a radar for the nearest dragon ball, Cymbal takes off. Elsewhere, Goku wakes up and goes looking for something to eat, just as the gang sets off for more Dragon Balls before King Piccolo can collect them. Goku eventually finds something that smells nice and after running to the source on all fours, he finds a giant fish being cooked by a campfire, seared to perfection. Acting on instinct, Goku devours the entire fish, which is seven times larger than him.
After looking at the radar, Goku finds a Dragon Ball right on top of him. Looking around, a giant boulder nearly runs over Goku. After that, a portly, robe wearing, shaggy haired man appears and demands, "Hey ya jerk, why'd ya eat my food!?" Goku sees that he made a Dragon Ball into a necklace. When Goku sees the Dragon Ball, he charges at the man and gets into a fight with him, thinking he's working with Tambourine.
Elsewhere, the Gang are dropped off at a remote island while Roshi, Tien, Chiaotzu, and Krillin go in search of the Dragon Balls. Back with Goku, the stranger asks, "What's ya name weird hair?"
Goku answers, "My name's Goku. You?"
He answers, "I'm Yajirobe."
Goku then shouts, "Hey! I can see your Dragon Ball better now! It's missing three stars! You're not working with that monster! This all a misunderstanding!"
Then at that moment, Cymbal arrives for the Dragon Ball. He demands, "Fatso, give to me that necklace if you want to live." Yajirobe then just tells Goku, "If ya wanna fight him, don't bother. He's mine. He's gonna be my meal." Charging at Cymbal with a samurai sword, he chops Cymbal in half effortlessly, removing his waist from his torso. At that moment, King Piccolo feels Cymbals death.
"Cymbal has failed me!" spat King Piccolo. Back with Goku and Yajirobe, Yajirobe is cooking Cymbal's husk and is making himself a buffet out of his meats. After eating Cymbal to the bone, Goku follows Yajirobe wherever he goes. And after hours of moving around the continent, Tambourine finds Goku and Yajirobe. Goku steps forward and said, "Stay out of this, Yajirobe. He hurt my friend. He's mine."
Goku charges at Tambourine, moving extremely fast. Tambourine is sweating bullets due to the speed. As he slowly gets confused, he is elbowed in the face by Goku. Before Tambourine can even touch the ground, Goku throws a barrage of punches. Then he kicks and knees him in the face repeatedly. After being beaten to the ground, Tambourine slowly gets back up. When he gets up, he screams, "PATHETIC HUMAN!" And fires his mouth blast.
Goku didn't even have a chance to dodge, and Goku is nowhere to be seen. Tambourine cackles like a madman, thinking he'd vaporized the whelp. Then Goku calls to Tambourines side, "You're not very smart, are you? That attack was pretty weak if you ask me." Tambourine decides to flee at this point. Goku uses his Power Pole to follow Tambourine. Goku then prepares the Kamehameha, and the blast incinerates Tambourine, avenging so many that were killed by him.
Elsewhere, King Piccolo, moans, "He's gone. Tambourine is DEAD. PILAF! TAKE ME TO THE DRAGON BALL I'VE LOST TWO OF MY SPAWN TO! I WILL AVENGE THEM MYSELF!" And with that, the Pilaf Airship takes off to face Goku and Yajirobe, eventually appearing right above them. On the ship, the woman on the speaker states, "King Piccolo, we have arrived." However, she clumsily stated it twice, first on the outside speakers, with Yajirobe and Goku hearing.
Upon hearing the name, Yajirobe gives Goku his Dragon Ball and runs away having heard of the Demon King and not wanting to be killed by him. Piccolo jumps out of the ship and lands in front of Goku. Goku asks, "Are you the ruler of Tambourine?" Piccolo nods in approval, and Goku charges at him. He throws punches and kicks on his opponent. Piccolo responds with punches of his own, which are more powerful than Goku's.
As this goes on, Piccolo stops to say compliments as he removes his robes to reveal his gi underneath, "You're good. No wonder why my minions were beaten so easily. You are the reason I exterminate Martial Artists. Anyone with your level of skill deserves to be terminated. You have great strength. I shall do my absolute best to make you try to keep up." As his eyes glow, King Piccolo creates an illusion of Armageddon around him.
King Piccolo then charges at Goku impossibly fast, then kicks him across the field. Piccolo charges at Goku before he even had a chance to touch the ground, and punches him in the same spot where Goku was kicked. When Goku lands into a two foot hole he made, Piccolo picks him up by the shirt collar and starts punching him. Before he can punch again, Goku bites on his thumb. With the pain, King Piccolo throws Goku's body into a pile of rocks.
With that, Goku loses the bite and is thrown to the side. As Piccolo prepares to gloat, he finds his thumb cut, and after sucking on the wound, he grunts, "You'll pay...You lousy human! YOU'LL PAY!" And then he gathers energy in his hand. The energy becomes like lightning. With a flick of his finger, he nearly destroyed Goku, who dodged and heads to hide behind a rock. King Piccolo uses the attack again, making Goku run around, looking for a place to hide.
Goku eventually falls to the ground from pure exhaustion. Goku does get back up and continues fighting, but everything he throws at the Demon King is dodged entirely and he's dealt great injuries in the process. Goku even fires the Kamehameha, and it did absolutely nothing to King Piccolo. The Demon King then starts beating Goku as it starts to rain. Piccolo then tries to fire an energy attack at Goku, who dodges, only to be fired by a second energy attack.
King Piccolo then takes the Dragon Ball from Goku's body and leaves for the other five, which have been collected by Roshi, Krillin, Tien, and Chiaotzu. After King Piccolo leaves, Goku wakes up and Yajirobe helps him into a capsule car and takes him to Korin Tower. The master and students land in a grassy plain, which is in the path of King Piccolo's airship. Chiaotzu shrinks the ship down to capsule size and then they bury the Dragon Balls.
The four then hide behind rocks that jut out of the land, waiting for King Piccolo to arrive. When King Piccolo lands into the battlefield, he swallows the Dragon Balls in front of the hiding warriors. Master Roshi steps up to fight King Piccolo by himself, having drugged Tien with sleeping medicine during the wait. Piccolo simply states, "Die old man." And he fires a shot at Roshi's shoulder.
Roshi stands back up, making King Piccolo holler, "Well, well. Look who wants another dose of pain. Why do you stand in my way? What do you get out of it?"
Roshi states, "You're in my way. If you take over the world, I'd never be able to enjoy my exercise videos." This angered King Piccolo, who forces a gust of wind toward Roshi, sending him into a jutted out rock. King Piccolo barks, "GET UP!" Roshi does just that.
King Piccolo uses lasers coming out of his eyes to make Roshi's ground burst into flame. Roshi's still standing there, making Piccolo think, 'Stupid old man, what does he hope to gain from this passive resistance?'
Roshi then states, "I am no match for you, that's obvious. But I can defeat you. You might not recognize me, but we've met before. I and my master fought you in the heat of battle."
Roshi then asks, "Do you know the name of my master?" he answers his own question, "It was Mutaito." This caused the demon king's death glare to vanish, and not one of his arrogant smirks, but of complete fear, and he's sweating bullets. Roshi then pulls out a capsule that becomes a duplicate of the rice cooker that held King Piccolo years ago. Roshi then charges up to use the Evil Containment Wave.
Piccolo tries to flee, but is captured in the technique. Everything becomes green, nobody can see nothing but green. Then everything went back to normal, but King Piccolo is now where the rice cooker was, and the jar was destroyed. Roshi states, "Damn...I missed...I acted like an amateur...I failed." With that, Master Roshi just died. Satisfied, Piccolo then digs up the Dragon Balls from the identifiable mound and booms, "DRAGON! I SUMMON YOU! I WANT MY YOUTH!"
The sky turns dark, and then Shenron appears. Tien telepathically calls out, 'Chiaotzu, we have to stop him. Wish for the dragon to destroy King Piccolo.' Chiaotzu prepares to make the wish, but Krillin stops him, fearing for his life. Shenron booms, "WHAT IS YOUR WISH? TELL ME WHAT YOU DESIRE?"
King Piccolo demands, "I WISH TO BE MADE YOUNG AGAIN! RESTORE MY YOUTH AND POWER! RETURN TO ME WHAT TIME HAS STOLEN!"
And like that, Piccolo's yellowed muscle tissue turns pink, his dark green skin turns bright green, his wrinkles fade, and he is now beaming a grim smile. To make sure the dragon can't be used against him in the future, he then destroys Shenron. Those three fools with Piano have no idea what they've unleashed, all to be kings and queens. King Piccolo prepares to take over the world. When the airship is flying and Piccolo's on his thrown, he tells Pilaf, "Take me to the king! I want a kingdom in my own image! But before we do anything drastic...Piano, dump these morons out the airlock. They're useless now."
Meanwhile, Goku and Yajirobe have arrived at Korin Tower, and after a buffet prepared by Bora and Upa, Yajirobe climbs Korin's tower with Goku on his back. Meanwhile, King Piccolo attacks the Kingdom of King Furry, and takes over the world overnight, transforming the world into the domain of anarchy. Back with Tien, Krillin, and Chiaotzu, Tien heads off, with Krillin asking, "Tien, where are you going?"
Tien answers, "If you weren't here, Chiaotzu would be dead. For that I'm grateful. But this is where our journey together ends. I have to...No, I must learn the Evil Containment Wave. It's time I be a hero." As Tien leaves on the jet, the rest of the gang arrives and give a funeral service for Master Roshi.
While everyone grieves, Krillin then blurts out, "Guys, we have some very bad news...Shenron was destroyed by King Piccolo after his wish was made."
Broly, wheelchair bound due to his injury, tells them, "Not for long. They can be remade."
Yamcha asks, "What do you mean?"
Broly answers, "If you find the maker of the Dragon Balls, then he can restore them back to crystal. But you need to be worthy to see him."
Meanwhile, Yajirobe and Goku make it to the top of Korin Tower. When they see Korin, he greets, "Good evening Goku. You know, I must commend your friend for climbing here with you on his back."
Goku starts, "Master Korin, I-" Korin interrupts, "Don't worry, don't worry. I know. You took a beating by King Piccolo. But why did you come here?"
Goku answers, "He's a terrible monster. Someone has to defeat him. I want to continue my training with you." With that, Korin tosses the two a senzu bean, but Yajirobe bellows, "What's this!? One bean!? That's all I get!? No way!" Then he goes to eat multiple senzu beans, then becomes greatly sick.
Korin asks, "Now then, to make sure we're absolutely clear, you want me to train you again?" Goku nods with an upbeat attitude. Korin then whimpers, "Sorry, but I can't. I'm tapped on new info. It wasn't a crash course before. You mastered the master." Goku slouches at this, then Korin thinks aloud, "There might be something...But it's risky. Are you afraid of death?"
Goku answers, "If it means to beat him, then no."
Korin then mumbles, "Well that's good. I think you can take a sip of the Ultra Divine Water." Goku looks at him confused, and Korin explains, "Ultra Divine Water, the stuff that makes the Sacred Water look like an amateur's drink, nothing more than water with a kick. But Ultra Divine Water is packed with mystical properties. But there's a price, if you drink it, there's a possibility you'll die if not worthy." Korin then goes to his kitchen and pulls out the ornate jar and a tea cup.
Korin pours up a cup of the dark liquid and tells him, "Don't say I didn't warn you. Drink up." Goku drinks the water, and chokes on it briefly, then screams in pain. His entire life flashes before his eyes. Then suddenly, he feels no pain, and is now standing tall. He then states, "I know where Piccolo is. I don't know how, but I can sense him." Korin then says, "It's gift time." With that a massive Flying Nimbus cloud appears.
Korin then tells Goku, "It's the exact same crop Roshi got the Nimbus he gave you. Jump in there and pick out a good one, Goku." Goku excitedly jumps into the field of gold and flies off on the Flying Nimbus he pulled and heads for King Piccolo. Tien, having mastered the Evil Containment Wave, arrives first as he finds King Piccolo leaving the King's castle to destroy a city. Tien stares Piccolo and Piano down as Piccolo surprises Tien.
Piccolo asks, "How about a challenger for you?" And he expels another egg. Then suddenly, the egg hatches, revealing a tall, bulky, and wide variant of Tambourine, without wings. Piccolo then tells the creature, "You're name shall be Drum. Your mission is to execute this fool." Tien charges at Drum to get to Piccolo. Tien tries to get around, but is forced to fight him, taking a punch to the face, then kicks him in the face. This goes from a fight to a beating.
Yet as Drum is about to execute Tien, he throws the capsule with the electric jar. As Tien uses the attack, Drum gets in the way. Tien goes along with the attack anyway, only for Piccolo to destroy the jar. As Tien is about to be executed, Drum is knocked to the side by Goku. Drum gets back up and Goku is in the middle of a Mexican standoff. With one kick to Drum's face, his eyeball is shot out of it's socket and falls to the ground dead.
Piccolo angrily charges at Goku with a chop, who effortlessly blocks it. Piano screams, "Impossible!" Then Piccolo uses his other hand to punch, only to be blocked and then thrown across the arena, into a tower that is destroyed on impact. Piccolo stands up and bellows, "You insolent wretch! Now you've really made me angry!" He fires a ki shot from his finger, which Goku dodges. Goku dodges the next attack, and then the next attack.
One of these attacks destroys Drum's corpse. Piccolo then charges at Goku once again, only to miss. King Piccolo then fires a ki blast that Goku blocks. Goku then vanishes and reappears in front of Piccolo and punches him across the arena. Piccolo lands on Piano, crushing him. When Piccolo stands back up, both charge at each other. Piccolo does land a kick, but Goku lands hundreds of punches and kicks.
Piccolo does manage to send Goku into the bottom of a crater, only for Goku to jump out of the crater charging a Kamehameha. He fires at Piccolo, who boasts, "Nice try!" Goku then makes it bend behind King Piccolo and hits him. When Piccolo recovers, they charge at each other again, each now landing punches on each other. It is still clear that Goku has an advantage. During the fight, Piccolo screams, "ENOUGH!" And fires a ki blast at Goku's knee.
Using the Power Pole as a cane, Goku continues the fight. Piccolo then screams, "I'LL! KILL! YOU!" Then he razes the entire arena to ashes. Luckily Tien rescues Goku at the last second. Piccolo tries the attack again, only for Goku being saved by the Flying Nimbus, and his shirt destroyed. Piccolo then rushes at Tien and puts him in a headlock, and he bellows, "Try anything and your friend dies!"
With a rock, King Piccolo smashes one of Goku's hands as he's forced to stand still. Goku blurts out, "I'M SORRY TIEN! BUT I CAN'T LET HIM WIN! I'LL COLLECT THE DRAGON BALLS!" Then King Piccolo laughs, "Fool! I destroyed the Dragon! SHENRON IS DEAD!" Piccolo then picks up another rock and shatters Goku's remaining knee. Goku collapses to the pain. King Piccolo then arrogantly dropped Tien, telling Goku, "You're friends no use now that you're the worm you're meant to be."
Piccolo then flies into the air, preparing to raze the world with Goku at ground zero. He laughs maniacally, "YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING! NOW BURN IN HELL AS THIS WORLD BECOMES RIGHTFULLY MINE!" He charges at Goku with a high velocity punch.
Goku then screams, "THIS WORLD BELONGS TO NOBODY!" Goku then punches the ground and fires a blast similar to a Kamehameha.
This moment suddenly stopped King Piccolo in his tracks as Goku shot straight at King Piccolo. Piccolo did nothing due to seeing not Goku, but a Great Ape. The moment was like a second sun shining across the world, and Goku shot through Piccolo's chest like a cannonball. Yet nobody saw, not even the falling Goku that King Piccolo expelled a final egg, shot across the world. (A/N: Which is strange given he has a hole in his entire torso. His reproductive organs must be in his neck...Gross, I just gave the world nightmares. LOL.)
He states, "He's won for now...But my legacy on this world will live on...Good luck...My son...Avenge me...Destroy my enemies." Then King Piccolo explodes. As Goku falls, he is saved by Yajirobe. As Tien, Goku, and Yajirobe enjoy their victory, Yajirobe helps Goku to Korin Tower again. Once they arrive, Korin tosses Goku a senzu bean. Elsewhere, King Piccolo's final egg is found by an elderly couple, where it hatches in front of them.
Meanwhile, Goku asks, "Master Korin, what can I do to revive my friends without the Dragon Balls?" Then a voice tells them, "Go to Kami." Everyone turns to see Broly is here as well. Goku asks, "Broly? How'd you get here?" Korin answers, "He crawled here on broken legs hours before you just got here. And it is ideal that we save all that were killed by Piccolo and his spawn, or they'd spend eternity in limbo. But Broly's right: Go see Kami, the creator of the Dragon Balls."
Goku asks, "But whose Kami?" Korin answers, "The guardian of the earth. A god among mortals-" Then Broly finishes, "And my father." Goku then thinks aloud, "Oh...So that's how you're so strong." Korin then continues, "Although Broly has a father-son right to see Kami, others must earn the right to. Which you've done Goku. Now get to the top of this tower and go see him. Oh, wait...Not on top, floating above the tower."
Goku asks, "How do I get up there?" Where Korin answers, "That's easy: Your Power Pole." At first Goku realizes he left the Power Pole behind and goes to get it at the battlefield, where he is greeted by the king. When he can't find it, he eventually finds it at Kame House, where he also finds the stone Dragon Balls were collected by the gang. Goku quickly returns to Korin, Broly, and Yajirobe, and they climb to the very top of the tower.
On the roof, they see a gold pedestal with a hole in it. The Power Pole is inserted into the hole. Goku and Broly grab hold of the Power Pole, as Goku states, "Power Pole extend!" As the Power Pole flies up, Korin tosses Goku a gold bell, "Give that to Kami! He'll know I sent you!"
Eventually, they start to see a dot in the sky, and Broly calls out, "Master Kami! I'm home!"
Goku blurts out, "It's huge!" Then the power pole connects to pedestal at the bottom of a floating Lookout.
The two then start climbing the ladder to the courtyard of the Lookout. Broly exhales, "It's exactly how I left it."
Goku then asks, "So this is what you meant by you live above the mountains." As they wander around, they find Mr. Popo sitting on a carpet, meditating and feeding birds. Broly bows to the genie, "I've returned home, master. King Piccolo was slain."
Goku waves, "Hi."
Mr. Popo waves as well, "Hello."
Goku then asks, "Broly, is this Kami?"
Broly answers, "Oh, no. This is Mr. Popo. You could say he's my uncle."
Mr. Popo asks, "Kami told me so much about you, Son Goku."
Goku asks, "Can I meet him?"
Mr. Popo then asks, "Do you have the bell?"
Goku fishes around in his shirt and pulls out the golden bell. Mr. Popo then asks, "Are the two of you ready for the test?"
Broly asks, "Mr. Popo, are you sure?"
Mr. Popo answers, "Of course. In order to see Kami, you must best me in combat."
Goku and Broly vanish, only to be punched by Mr. Popo, knocking them out. Goku and Broly charge again, but Mr. Popo punches Goku in the face, and Broly crashes into Goku. They continue to try and fight Mr. Popo, who effortlessly dodges the two. And to add salt to wounds, Mr. Popo is the one dealing damage. As Broly struggles back up, he blurts out, "He must've been holding back when I was growing up."
Goku states, "I won't lose. I can't lose! Too many people, our friends included, were killed by Piccolo! They can't rest in peace because he killed them! If we don't restore the Dragon Balls, they will suffer for eternity!" Goku and Broly then charge up their Kamehameha, and fire at Mr. Popo. Yet Mr. Popo swallowed the attacks. As he burps out smoke, Broly trembles, "He never did that before!"
Goku then tries the punch he used to destroy King Piccolo, only for Mr. Popo to dodge. He then states, "Great power, both of you have. Yet you don't know how to control it."
