[edit] Recap
Cell and Gohan are on the desert floor. Perfect Cell wants Gohan to get mad and show his hidden power. He tries to by inflicting pain. He ends up giving Gohan a bear hug which causes Gohan to scream out in pain. Piccolo can't stand it. He wants to go help Gohan. Goku doesn't let him, saying that when Gohan is pushed in to a corner he'll get mad and beat Perfect Cell down. Piccolo says that even if Gohan is the most powerful fighter on Earth that Gohan doesn't want to fight. He's not thinking of battle or competition, he's thinking why his father is making him do this. Goku is then persuaded and ask Krillin to give him a Senzu Bean. Perfect Cell then drops Gohan and says that if physical pain won't make him mad that maybe pain of his friends will. Before Krillin can give Goku the bean, Perfect Cell comes up and takes them away.
Android 16 sneaks down behind Perfect Cell and grabs him in his own bear hug. He says that he will self destruct and take Perfect Cell with him. Perfect Cell now has a look of fear on his face. Everyone braces for the explosion and Hercule and the gang hide behind a rock and quiver like the cowards they are. Android 16 lights up like he's going to blow but nothing happens. Krillin reveals that Bulma and her father removed the bomb. They thought he might use it on Goku. Perfect Cell, then breaks free and blasts Android 16 to bits with his head rolling over where Hercule and the gang are.
Perfect Cell then gives birth (for lack of better words) to 7 Cell Jr.'s, one for each Z Fighter. They all head to the Z Fighters and that where it leaves off.
