==Plot==
<!-- Per WP:FilmPlot, plot summaries for feature films should be between 400 and 700 words -->
The [[mad scientist]] [[Dr. Gero]] is killed at the hands of his awakened creations, the [[Artificial Human 17|Androids 17]] and [[Artificial Human 18|18]]. However, Gero had secretly copied his consciousness into an underground supercomputer that continued to manifest his dream of creating the ultimate android capable of killing [[Goku]] and destroying humanity.

At a shopping mall, Goku, [[Gohan (Dragon Ball)|Gohan]], [[Chi-Chi (Dragon Ball)|Chi-Chi]], [[Krillin]], [[Master Roshi]], [[Oolong (Dragon Ball)|Oolong]], and [[Future Trunks]] eat lunch in a restaurant. Two beings enter the city and begin causing mayhem as they hunt for Goku, eventually detecting his location in the restaurant above them. They use a massive [[qi|ki]] attack in an attempt to kill Goku but he, Gohan, Krillin, and Trunks manage to survive and save the people inside of the restaurant from certain death. Goku is confronted by the culprits and correctly assumes that they are androids because he cannot sense their ki. Introducing themselves as Androids 14 and 15, they attack and overwhelm Goku before Trunks intervenes. Goku suggests that they take the fight elsewhere in order to avoid harming innocent people in the city, and they fly off as the androids pursue them.

Goku and Trunks engage the androids until Android 13 also appears. 13 explains that despite Dr. Gero's death, his computer has been programmed to continue the mission to kill Goku out of revenge for defeating the [[Red Ribbon Army]] decades prior. 13 quickly overwhelms Goku while Trunks is outmatched by the combined assault of 14 and 15. However, [[Vegeta]] also arrives and joins the fight. Goku engages 13 while Trunks and Vegeta fight 14 and 15 respectively. Goku, Vegeta and Trunks all simultaneously power up to their Super Saiyan forms. 13 manages to hold the upper hand against Goku, who is soon assisted by the arrival of [[Piccolo (Dragon Ball)|Piccolo]], while Trunks and Vegeta destroy 14 and 15. They surround 13, who proceeds to absorb 14 and 15's cores into his own being and undergo a transformation into a hulking form.

With his newfound power, Super Android 13 completely overwhelms Goku and his allies. Seeing no other option for victory, Goku begins summoning ki for the ''Spirit Bomb'' attack while his allies attempt to hold off Super 13. Super 13 eventually realizes what Goku is doing and attempts to stop him, but Piccolo manages to hold him off just long enough for Goku to transform into a Super Saiyan again and he absorbs with the Spirit Bomb's energy. Super 13 attacks again, but Goku punches through Super 13's abdomen and sends him soaring into the core of the Spirit Bomb where he is obliterated. With Super 13's demise, the underground supercomputer shuts down for good. 

Krillin and Gohan are hospitalized where the group modestly celebrate their victory together. Elsewhere, Piccolo and Vegeta sit on an iceberg, isolated from the celebration.
