In Age 776, two years after the defeat of Kid Buu, everyone forgot the terror, and everything returned to normal. Goku goes camping with his friends, hoping Piccolo and Vegeta can make it too. Goten went ahead to Trunks' place, Capsule Corporation, and while Goku is still near his house, his eldest son Gohan joins him. Goku wonders why Gohan is coming since he was working for a test. Gohan replies that his mother said "You can't stay in your room all the time!", so he decided to go out today and get some exercise. The two then have a sparring match, which is won by Goku since it has been a while since Gohan fought and he got out of shape quick. The two then fly to the meeting place. They are joined on the way by Yamcha, who saw them flying along while Puar and the others are coming by car. When Yamcha asks how the bike Goku got is working out, Goku says that the bike is kind of in pieces right now and Gohan mentions that no matter how many times his father tries to fix it, it falls apart again. Yamcha then suggests they should talk to Bulma about it. Yamcha then joins the others in the car, while Goku and Gohan go on ahead. They decide to get fish for dinner. While Goku goes catch some, Gohan goes to get Piccolo. While looking for a river, Goku meets Krillin. He laughs and remarks Krillin looks just like old times, since he had his head shaved again. Krillin asks Goku to not hit his head, or pet it, and no polishing. He then says that Android 18 and Marron used him as a toy while he was sleeping, and this happened. Goku then proposes a little fight, but Krillin says there is no way he can take Goku on. Goku promises he will not go Super Saiyan and will hold back, and Krillin then agrees if Goku doesn't use Kaio-ken either. Goku wins the match, and then asks where Mr. Satan and Mr. Buu are. Krillin says that Buu is finally able to go outside, quoting Mr. Satan:"Listen Buu! A champ need a heart of love and justice!" He adds that the two have been studying society and traveling around. He thinks Mr. Satan has seen too many historical movies, and that he heard he borrowed a spaceship and went off somewhere.

Gotenks says that they should forget about all of this and summon Shenron, adding that the dragon can grant three wishes after receiving an upgrade from Dende. Gotenks asks if he can get one wish. Despite being fused, Gotenks will decide his wish by voting. Surprisingly, Vegeta allows this. While deciding what to wish, Cell suddenly appears and says "It goes for the one who wins the battle of course". Vegeta then realizes that the current situation also brings Cell back to life.

After they arrive, Goku tells Kibito Kai about the situation back on Hell. Kibito Kai explains that there is a ring that cleanse the evil energy. He adds that people should always strive for themselves and the others. If they only think of themselves, certain energy is born. The one that doesn't care about themselves can be consumed with evil. Gohan asks if the evil energy gets collected after one dies. Kibito Kai says it works that way, and it's being generated more easily and can spread like contagion. Now that the evil energy also made it's way to Earth, it makes the situation even more dangerous, since good people can also turn evil if affected. Goku suggests using the dragon balls to fix this, Kibito Kai agrees. While Goku, Gohan and Kibito Kai search for the dragon balls, Pikkon stays in case Janemba returns.
