			Tao Pai-Pai scolds Vodka for not performing regular inspections on his death-traps as Goku continues walking slowly down the hall. Goku walks too far and passes Vodka's room, missing his intimidating little speech and causing the mob boss to have to call out to him that he went too far. Vodka begins his threatening speech again, but Tao Pai-Pai jumps in and steals his thunder: Goku has to leave his Dragon Balls with them or he's going to get hurt. Goku is very excited to see Tao Pai-Pai, but the old master doesn't seem to recognize him. Tao Pai-Pai flashes back to Goku as a child and then teen Goku at the [[23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai]]. He realizes that he is outmatched. Vodka's bodyguards try to steal the Dragon Balls from Goku, but he mistakenly knocks him into a wall with greater force than he intended. When another bodyguard shoots Goku, he casually grabs the bullet from midair. Vodka panics and pushes an emergency button on his desk, wrapping him, Tao Pai-Pai, and his bodyguards into a protective bubble. Vodka claims that Goku cannot break through the barrier, but he is able to easily tap it with one finger and cause it to shatter. Vodka wants Tao Pai-Pai to fight Goku for the balls, but the old master claims to be feeling ill today. Goku is dejected, realizing that they are collecting the balls too and won't be willing to trade. Tao Pai-Pai comes up with a solution: if Goku can solve three puzzle rings by the next morning, he can have all of the balls. But if he cannot, he has to give the balls that he collected to Vodka and his crew. Goku accepts. Vodka's men politely offer to hold Goku's coat (with the Dragon Balls in the pocket) and they sneak off with all of the balls while Goku struggles with the first puzzle. Vodka and his men drive away from the fortress as quickly as possible.

			As night falls, Goku has only managed to crack one of the three puzzles. He paces around the room while a lone henchman eats his dinner. Some time later, Goku has solved two of the puzzle rings but is stumped on the third. The henchman offers advice on the third ring, but Goku rejects it saying that he needs to complete the puzzle himself. Just before daybreak, Goku finally defeats the third puzzle! He and the henchman search the base for his missing boss, but Goku says not to worry and just uses [[instantaneous movement]] to find them. He arrives at the lake where Vodka is hiding and asks to take the balls. Vodka and Tao Pai-Pai are stunned at his arrival and agree to hand them over, Goku never noticing that they were trying to cheat him out of all of the balls. He now has six!

			At [[Capsule Corp Headquarters]], [[Bulma]] finishes repairing [[Artificial Human 16]], while Goku tracks down the final ball in an ocean or lake.

			Several days later, the moment of the [[Cell Games]] has finally come. A [[ZTV]] reporter looks on from a helicopter as the participants are about to arrive. The Cell Games are in one hour!
