Summary

Off in the depths of space Coola watches on as his brother, Freeza, destroys the Planet Vegeta, along with the entire Saiyan race. However, Coola’s henchmen notice a Saiyan space pod with a baby has escaped, but Coola does not feel it is necessary to pick up his brother’s messes. Years later, Coola learns of his brother's demise at the hands of a Saiyan from Earth and orders his henchmen to track him down.

Back on Earth, Goku, Gohan, Kuririn, and Oolong venture out into the wilderness on a camping trip, when they unexpectedly feel an abnormal presence nearby. The Coola Armored Squad suddenly appears at the camp site and easily downs Gohan and Kuririn. Goku, who had been off catching dinner, quickly returns to help them, but is too late. He challenges the armored squad and is holding his own against the three of them, but takes an attack head-on from Coola in order to protect Gohan. Goku’s body limply falls from sky into the nearby waterfall, but Coola knows that he is not dead and quickly orders his men to find him immediately.

Goku and the others find themselves hiding out in a nearby cave trying to treat Goku’s wounds, but they are quite severe. Gohan sees an opening and decides to head to Karin Tower on Hire Dragon to get some senzu in order to heal his father. However he is spotted by the armored squad on his way back and is in dire straits when Piccolo arrives on the scene. Piccolo’s power quickly overwhelms Dore and Neiz, and he is handily beating Sauzer until Coola shows up to challenge the Namekian. Meanwhile, Gohan manages to make it back to the cave, but unbeknownst to him he has been followed by Sauzer, who burns the senzu. Luckily Gohan manages to feed Goku the last remaining senzu.

After a short barrage of attacks, Sauzer decides it’s time to finish off Gohan and Kuririn, when his scouter suddenly detects a rapidly rising power. The senzu has revived Goku, who becomes extremely angry at seeing his friends attacked, and he quickly blows away Sauzer with merely his aura. Goku and Coola begin their one-on-one battle, and at first it appears Goku has the upper hand, until Coola decides it is time to transform into his final form. Coola’s increased power pushes Goku’s limits up against the wall, when a golden aura surrounds him… He has finally transformed into a Super Saiyan! Goku quickly begins to overwhelm Coola, who is amazed by his awesome power.

In a last ditch effort Coola fires a gigantic energy blast at Goku, but Goku forces it back at him, knocking him into the sun. Everything seems to have returned to normal, when Sauzer suddenly appears before our bewilder heroes. All seems hopeless, but out of nowhere a Makankōsappō suddenly hits Sauzer, putting him down for good. Gohan looks around to see who it was, but no one is there. Once again, peaceful times have returned to the Earth.
