Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler

Dende senses the distress on New Namek as a sentient spaceship latched to the planet begins its attack. He telepathically reaches out to Goku on Earth, pleading for aid. The urgency sets the rescue mission in motion.

Goku, Gohan, Krillin, Piccolo, Oolong, Yajirobe and Master Roshi travel to New Namek and confront an army of large robots terrorizing Namekians. They quickly learn Cooler, Frieza's brother, is behind the assault and has a metallic body. The team steels themselves for a direct confrontation.

Cooler explains that he will absorb the planet and its lifeforms to power his ship. The ship clamps onto the surface and begins draining the world. His metallic form and ruthless ambition make the threat nearly unstoppable.

Goku engages Cooler in combat, while the others fend off the armored robot army. The Namekians are overwhelmed and many are captured along with a village. The team fights to prevent full annihilation and to protect the captives.

Piccolo unleashes a massive ki attack that obliterates the robots in a single strike. He then pushes toward the captured Namekians to free them. The rescue operation intensifies the battle against Cooler’s forces.

Goku struggles against Meta-Cooler, who regenerates and uses instantaneous movement. Vegeta arrives and saves Goku from danger, reuniting the two Super Saiyans. They prepare to take down Meta-Cooler together.

The two Super Saiyans manage to destroy Meta-Cooler, but the ship regenerates 1000 manifestations of him. The new flood of Meta-Coolers overwhelms their efforts and tilts the battle against the heroes. The team braces for a desperate counterattack.

Goku and Vegeta are captured and transported to be converted into fuel for the ship. The ship leeches their energy as the situation grows direr. The remaining team must devise a plan to break them free.

Goku and Vegeta unleash their ki to overload the ship’s energy systems. Cooler reveals that his brain is fused with the ship’s computer, granting him control over its power. The deficit becomes a race to disrupt the system before it drains them completely.

Goku finishes the true biological Cooler with a ki blast. Piccolo arrives to confront a Meta-Cooler, which detonates in a massive explosion. The immediate danger to the heroes begins to dissipate as the ship’s defenses crumble.

The remaining Meta-Coolers and robotic soldiers explode in a chain reaction around the ship. The heroes manage to escape just as the vessel leaves New Namek’s orbit and blows apart. Relief washes over the survivors as the threat finally ends.

Goku and Vegeta fall back to the battlefield near their allies, where everyone cheers the victory. The Namekian villagers and Earth’s team share a moment of relief and triumph. The band of heroes bonds over their hard-won success.

In space, Vegeta crushes the computer chip that created Cooler’s ship, ensuring it cannot be rebuilt. The decisive act marks a lasting end to the threat. The team regroups, satisfied with their hard-won victory and the safety of Namek.
