Detailed Synopsis

Out in space, we see New Namek with an apparent eclipse. As the confused Namekians watch, they quickly realize that this is no normal eclipse! It is, in fact, a giant ship approaching and landing on their planet! Before the ship lands, however, it grows "arm"-type extensions and covers the planet. The ground begins to crumble, and the Namekians run in fear. Back on Earth, Mr. Popo tells Dende that he needs to place his faith in Goku and the others...

(title screen, "CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA")

A giant Capsule Corporation ship floats in space. Inside, Goku and the others are enjoying rice cakes. Everyone laughs, saying that it will be a piece of cake with Goku along for the ride. Gohan asks what kind of place New Namek is, while Yajirobe wonders how on Earth he was forced to go along for the ride. In a different room, all alone, Piccolo stares out into space, and wonders if they're there yet.

On the monitor, everyone sees the giant object that has engulfed New Namek. Oolong asks if two planets can kiss; Gohan says it looks like Namek is being eaten. The ship approaches the planet, and moves into landing mode.

On the ground, an elder Namekian runs away at top speed, but is caught by robots with nets. Muri and the other Namekians are forced into chain-gangs and led away. A fighter-Namekian breaks out of his handcuffs (much to Muri's dismay), but is caught by the neck by one of the robots, and thrown to the ground. The robot opens its "arm" and prepares to fire a shot... but Gohan appears from above and knocks the blast to the ground. Muri, in an astonished look, realizes that Goku and the others have landed. The robots begin to gather, and Piccolo tells them to leave the Namekians alone. In the distance, Oolong, Yajirobe, and Kame-Sen'nin watch in horror as hundreds of robots gather. Goku, in typical fashion, says that he does not want any needless fighting. A familiar voice from behind the robots greets Goku. A metallic looking being walks forward, almost glowing with reflected sunlight. Goku quickly realizes, as the tail hits the ground, who he's dealing with... it's Coola! Everyone else mentions that he should be dead. Goku has a quick flashback to his fight with Coola on Earth, where he pushed Coola, Freeza's brother, into the sun with a massive Kamehameha, after transforming into a Super Saiyan.

Coola explains that he has been granted new life thanks to the Big Gete Star. Piccolo realizes that this "Star" must be the "planet" attacking New Namek. Oolong, Yajirobe, and Kame-Sen'nin prove to be nothing more than comedy as the fighters all take on the robots. Kuririn is smacked before he can even attack, while Gohan can only blast in fear as the robots move so quickly. Piccolo takes on a flurry of attacks from multiple robots on his own. Goku and Coola stand face-to-face, neither moving... but both powering-up, as rocks begin to rise into the air around them. Kame-Sen'nin prepares to fight, and hits an attacking robot in the chest. It appears to work... until he flails around with a hurt hand! The robots take off with Oolong, Yajirobe, and Kame-Sen'nin in nets, captured.

Piccolo takes off his weighted clothing, saying that his warm-up is complete. Kuririn attacks a few robots on his own with a series of punches; like Kame-Sen'nin, though, it does little more than hurt his hand. We see that Gohan has also hurt his hand, unable to damage the robots in the least. Gohan is smacked to the ground, when Kuririn suddenly falls on him, knocked out of the air by robots. The two stand up back-to-back, noting that the robots' defenses are simply too strong. Piccolo lands on his own, saying that their armor is too strong; they'll have to concentrate their ki and attack in full-powered bursts. the fighters all take off to attack the robots. They soon find that after dodging a punch, they have a quick opening to smash into the robots with a free hand and release a burst of energy, effectively causing them to explode. Kuririn, asking "why is it just me," is smacked in the cheek, and falls to the ground... but, thankfully, gets up and manages to destroy a robot. Piccolo seems to handle himself the best, tearing through robot after robot. The robots catch on, though, and multiple ones fire extending arms at Piccolo, who responds with the same ability, taking out a few in the process. Gohan manages to fly through a robot, causing an explosion that takes out others, as well. The robots all begin to fire their extending arms and clamp-like hands to catch the fighters. Piccolo is caught, and is fired at with bullets by the robot, creating a large cloud of dust in the sky. At the same time, Kuririn and Gohan are carried off by robots while more and more robots fire at Piccolo.

Down on the ground, Goku launches a series of punches at Coola, which are all either caught or easily dodged. Goku grabs Coola's tail and throws him to the ground, launching into a Kaiô-Ken retreat and re-attack. Coola takes a punch to the chest with no damage, which prompts Goku to fire another series of punches and kicks... none of which do any damage. Coola lands just a few punches to Goku, clearly causing him great pain. He creates a giant Death Ball, just as he had done earlier, and quickly throws it at Goku on the ground. When the dust settles, Coola notes that he was not able to detect Goku's movement... how was he able to get behind him? Goku says that it's his Shunkan-idô (instantaneous movement) technique. Coola remarks that he can do it, as well, and the two trade attacks and teleportations. Goku is grabbed mid-teleport, and slammed into a mountain. Coola rushes forward and knees Goku in the chest, but his attack is stopped as Goku explodes into a golden aura. Coola jumps back, and remarks that Goku has FINALLY transformed into a Super Saiyan... he would want it no other way, for now they can truly see who the strongest in the universe is.

Back in the robot area, the dust and smoke clears to reveal that Piccolo has sustained no damage. Piccolo explodes outward in a burst of energy, disintegrating the entire fleet of robots in the single blast. Tossing the remains of a robot aside, he takes off in the direction Gohan was taken... the Big Gete Star.

Goku, now a Super Saiyan, begins a new series of attacks on Coola, all of which are easily dodged. He rushes forward, screaming that it's not his fault if Coola is destroyed, and slams into the villain. Coola's entire left side is destroyed... but suddenly begins to rebuild itself! A new arm is molded, as Coola explains that the Big Gete Star's main computer analyzes the situation, and rebuilds him as-necessary. He cannot be defeated! Goku asks even if he's blown to smithereens, will that be enough? Coola smirks and tells him to find out. Goku's attacks are continuously dodged and parried, as Coola grabs the Super Saiyan by the neck and prepares to kill him.

A kick to the neck knocks Coola aside, and two boots land on the ground... Vegeta has arrived. "Don't take us Saiyans so lightly," the Prince remarks as he, too, transforms into a Super Saiyan. Coola is excited beyond belief to find that there are now TWO Super Saiyans, saying that it matters not how many there are... he will kill all of the monkeys. Vegeta's attacks are just as easily dealt with, prompting Goku to jump into the fight, as well. Coola teleports in front of Vegeta, but Goku knocks him to the ground before he can hit Vegeta, who retaliates with his trademark Big Bang Attack... which Coola teleports away from, knocking Vegeta out of commission in two attacks. He launches a new attack at Goku and Vegeta, and they scream in pain...

On the Big Gete Star, a small guide robot politely asks for silence, explaining that it's time to mash everyone up, now, since they will all be used for energy for the Big Gete Star! Yajirobe attacks the robot, who is delighted to find his first volunteer. Piccolo arrives on the ship, and looks in horror as a figure in the distance launches a blast at him...

Goku and Vegeta get up from underneath a pile of rubble, both clearly in pain. Vegeta, prideful as ever, tells Goku to not tell him what to do, and not get in his way! The two explode into full-power mode as Coola runs towards them in the distance. They slam into him, as Goku had done before, causing him to fall to pieces. Before he can rebuild, however, they launch new attacks, halting the Big Gete Star's rebuilding process. Pieces and pieces fall to the ground and explode, as Goku and Vegeta collapse, fall out of Super Saiyan, and remark that they've used up almost all of their power. Goku, clearly out of it, looks up as rubble falls to the ground... and sees a complete Coola on the mountain side. As he and Vegeta continue to watch in utter horror, hundreds upon hundreds of Metal Coolas appear on the mountaintop in the distance. With an echoed voice, Coola explains that this is the true power of the Big Gete Star, and asks if they honestly believe they can defeat these, never mind a single one. The hundreds of Metal Coolas pour down the mountain towards the two heroes, who both transform into Super Saiyans, again. The screen explodes in a golden aura...

Inside the Big Gete Star, Goku and Vegeta are propped and tied up via a series of electrical cables. In the distance, a bluish orb, what little remains of the true Coola's head, explains the history of the Big Gete Star to them. Long ago, a single computer chip in space began traveling around incorporating whatever it could, when it eventually came across Coola's remains and merged with him. Coola then explains that he plans on taking all of their Super Saiyan energy, and begins to drain them as they scream in pain. In a hallway on the ship, another Metal Coola fights a confused Piccolo. The new Planet Namek begins to crumble and drain away as the planet is sucked dry along with the two Super Saiyans.

Coola believes the two to be drained completely, and is astonished at the level of energy... any more, and it would have been an overload. For some reason, the circuits begin to flow again, despite Goku and Vegeta apparently not being conscious. The ship begins to explode in places... Goku and Vegeta, both still half-lifeless, reach out and grab the circuits and pour everything they have into the Big Gete Star, causing even more great explosions throughout the entire ship.

The Coola fighting Piccolo explodes, leaving him even more confused than before. Just before Yajirobe's head is cut off (much to the delight of the polite robot), the machines (and the robot!) explode, causing the prison to fall apart. Gohan and the others escape to find a crowd of Coolas... all of which explode, leaving a figure in the shadows and smoke. "Gohan!" it calls... Piccolo is fine!

The Big Gete Star explodes even MORE than before, and begins to take off from the planet. Goku tells Coola that his mistake, once again, was to underestimate the power of a Super Saiyan. Gohan and the others arrive, but Goku screams for them to leave. Muri and the other Namekians look from the ground as the Big Gete Star departs their planet slowly, rising into the air.

Back inside, Goku rises to his feet, telling Coola that he no longer has his metal selves to fight for him. Coola, with a typical reply, remarks that he has more than enough power to defeat Goku and Vegeta. Goku forms a relatively small, golden ball of energy, but is caught in a mess of wires. Goku and Vegeta, both in intense pain, scream that there is nothing impossible for them. Vegeta falls to the ground, again, but Goku breaks free and tosses the remains of the energy ball into Coola's wire-and-circuits body, causing him to scream in pain and explode. We see Coola's eye float away in the explosion...

In space, the Big Gete Star completely explodes...

Down on Namek, everyone watches as Goku (smiling, of course) and Vegeta fall down from the sky, alive and well. Obviously, the two slam into the ground and get stuck, but no-one seemed to think THAT would happen! Yajirobe gives Goku a Senzu, and is asked where Vegeta is. Goku says that he must have taken off after being given a Senzu. In space, Vegeta flies off in his own private space pod, holding Coola's main computer chip in his hand... which he slams closed, crushing the chip, uttering his famous "Hmph!"
