      Kami has much to consider. He and Piccolo reuniting could possibly save the world, but the latter's past doesn't prevent frightening possibilities from being overlooked. Meanwhile, Goku is barely stable now and needs time to recover. Unfortunately, the three Androids aren't willing to give him the time. The Z Fighters evacuate him and Chi-Chi, and they fly to Master Roshi's island. Also, thugs learn what the Z Fighters already knew – Androids 16, 17 and 18 should never be provoked.
