Commander Magenta, the son of the Red Ribbon Army's founder, revives the army and hires Dr. Hedo, a young genius obsessed with superheroes, by telling him Capsule Corp is evil. Hedo builds two androids, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2, and Cell Max. Piccolo, who is training Gohan's daughter Pan while Gohan focuses on research, finds the army's base. Piccolo has Shenron unlock his potential. He lets the army think it has kidnapped Pan to make Gohan angry, and Gohan fights Gamma 1 while Piccolo, in a new orange form, fights Gamma 2.
