Goku wakes up and challenges the three remaining Sigma Force members to battle. Despite having all his combat data downloaded, the machines cannot keep up when Goku stops holding back. He destroys the combined Super Mega Cannon Sigma with a Kamehameha, but General Rilldo's massive power is already heading for Trunks and Pan.
Goku breaks free from his capsule chamber and finds Pan recovering from her fight with Natt. He tells her to rest, then turns to face Commander Nezi, Ribet, and Bizu, the three surviving members of the Sigma Force. The robots boast that they have downloaded every fighting technique in Goku's history and can predict his every move.
At first, the prediction works. The machines counter Goku's familiar attacks with mechanical precision, dodging and deflecting everything he throws at them. General Rilldo watches with satisfaction and prepares to award Giru the highest honor on M-2.
The Sigma Force attempts to subdue Goku for delivery to Dr. Myuu, but Goku rebounds with a flurry of new, improvised attacks that are nowhere in their databases. The machines retreat into the walls, harassing Goku from hidden positions by lighting him on fire and pulling his feet out from under him. Goku responds by destroying the entire building, eliminating their cover.
Desperate, the three robots merge into the Super Mega Cannon Sigma, a combined form with significantly amplified strength. Meanwhile, Trunks carries Pan back to the Grand Tour Spaceship and discovers that all three of their collected Black Star Dragon Balls have been stolen.
The Super Mega Cannon Sigma shifts through multiple attack configurations, but Goku matches every mode with ease. He has been holding back the entire time, testing the machines while barely trying. When the Sigma Force launches its devastating Killer Driller Attack, Goku triples his power output in response.
General Rilldo realizes the truth: Goku was never in danger. He was playing. Goku unleashes a barrage of punches followed by a point-blank Kamehameha that obliterates the Super Mega Cannon Sigma entirely. Before Goku can head to the ship for a meal, he senses Rilldo's staggering power racing toward Trunks and Pan. The real fight is about to begin.
