The episode opens with the Infinity Team teleporting into the same hospital that Amelia worked in. Much of the hospital staff are surprised by their sudden appearance, but the Infinity Team pay no mind to that. They notice a lot of ruckus near a particular room and venture towards it. They find the smashed window behind a crowd of curious individuals.
Ramon: What is going on here?
Hospital Worker #1: An outsider started a fight with one of our staff members -- ending with the guy getting thrown out of the window.
Goku: Who would do that?
Hospital Worker #1: It was done by an alien Namekian. Kind of looks like him.
The hospital worker pointed to Piccolo. This piques his interest.
Piccolo: Does he have a name?
Hospital Worker #1: Look, I'm not here to play 20 Questions. I need to get to an angiography.
The hospital worker makes haste to their procedure while Piccolo looks determined to get answers. Cut to outside of the hospital where Thrune and Amelia make their exit. The Namekian carries her into his arms and has his bag over his left shoulder.
Amelia: How are we gonna get out of here?
Thrune looks around while thinking. Damn! He just remembered that his spacecraft got wasted. He suddenly hears a unique sound. Turning around, he finds the Infinity Team with Piccolo at the front.
Amelia (hushed): Who are these guys?
Thrune (hushed): I don't know.
Ramon comes from Piccolo's right side and waves hello like a friendly ol' chap. Amelia responds with a weak wave back while Thrune puts her down and crosses his arms.
Ramon: Uh... sorry to bother you like this -- but we need something from you that's of great importance.
Thrune: What would that be?
Ramon: Your grip and gua-
Thrune: You want a part of the Infinity Sword? Forget it.
Vegeta: Can we stop clowning around and just take it from him?
Ramon: Violence is not the answer here, Prince Vegeta. Please hear me out, Mr...
Thrune: Thrune.
Ramon: Mr. Thrune, I can compensate you quite nicely if you give me your pieces to the Infinity Sword. So much can be discovered of quantum mechanics, nuclear and particle physics, the sword can lead us to figure out how the universe was stitched together.
Thrune laughs, confounding both the Infinity Team and Amelia.
Thrune: Once this sword's potential is fully realized, I could rewrite reality and make myself the most powerful man in existence. You seem like a nice guy but I would be an idiot to take your offer.
Piccolo: You would be an idiot to not take his offer.
Piccolo walked forward and stopped only a few feet away from his fellow Namekian. Thrune sees that he is vastly outnumbered and most likely equally outgunned. He quickly bats an eye at Amelia. Her face showed him to listen to the Infinity Team and not to escalate matters. Thrune slung out his bag onto the ground and opened it. He took out the grip & handle of the sword and reluctantly gave it to Ramon.
Thrune: I'm still getting my money, right?
Ramon: Yes, thank you for your cooperation.
Thrune: You're not welcome.
With four pieces down, only one more was to go. The Infinity Team laid their hands on Ramon and he used Instant Transmission to report back to Yardrat. With them gone, Thrune let out a yell of frustration.
Cut to Goten and Trunks in the forest. The two boys looked at each other a few feet apart; Trunks visibly worried.
Trunks: Goten, what the heck is going on with you?
Goten looked down at his hands, opening them and then closing them. An evil grin comes across his face.
Goten: I have been trapped in that urn for over 100,000 years.
Trunks, not knowing what to say, stands in awe.
Goten: This childlike body has wonderful power. I wonder how far it can go on its own.
Trunks realizes the grim reality of the situation. Goten was possessed. Trunks assumes a fighting stance.
Trunks: Hey! I don't know what you are or why you’re doing this, but either you leave my best friend alone or I’ll beat you out of him myself!
Goten looks down at his hands again, opening them.
Goten: Sounds like the perfect opportunity to test out this vessel.
The second son of Goku clenched his fists and powered up into Super Saiyan.
Trunks: Don’t make me do this!
The son of Vegeta transformed into a Super Saiyan. The two Super Saiyans stared down the other as rocks began to levitate. The small trembles caused by the staredown drove woodland creatures to run off for shelter.
Goten yelled and violently flew toward Trunks. He swings a punch but Trunks blocks it. The two enter into a barrage of lightning-fast punches & kicks. Neither one gives an inch. That is… until Trunks lands a hit right in Goten’s kisser.
The possessed Goten stumbles a fair bit before grinning briefly. Trunks maintains his fighting stance. Goten launches dozens of Ki Blasts with Trunks having to block and swat them away. This causes many of the Ki Blasts to go to the wayside and wreak havoc on the forest.
Trunks: Goten, stop! You’re destroying the forest and people could get hurt.
Goten ended the Ki onslaught and zoomed in on Trunks, looking to punch him in the gut. Trunks blocked him and the two entered into a wrestling struggle. The sparks from the struggle exacerbated the trembles, even more, leveling a multitude of trees all over the forest.
Goten: Not as much hurt as there will be!
Goten headbutts Trunks and then kicks him away, launching Trunks through a tree and a boulder.
Cut to Tien who is in the middle of training a class of students. He senses a growing dark energy that concerns him. Scene changes to Master Roshi who also feels an ominous energy.
Going back to Goten and Trunks in the semi-destroyed forest, Trunks recovers from the attack while Goten laughs in a distorted voice.
Goten: This was fun! But I think it’s time to show you what I’m really capable of.
Trunks: What!?
Goten assumes a transforming stance and begins to yell. His irises begin to fade and his golden hair turns white. Goten’s golden aura turns purple and his irises fade back in as the same color. His gi that has a usual color scheme of orange & blue turns into one of black, white, & purple.
Trunks: Wha-What did you do to Goten?
Vollena: I am Goten no longer. My name is Vollena.
Vollena completes his transformation. Ki-sensitive fighters around the globe feel the massive presence (Tien, Chiaotzu, Master Roshi, Yamcha, Dende, and Mr. Popo). All of their faces show up in a brief montage before cutting to King Kai’s Planet.
The camera zooms in on King Kai watering his grass while humming gleefully. Bubbles comes onto the scene.
King Kai: Want some showers, Bubbles?
Bubbles nods and then makes excited monkey noises as he gets hosed down. Gregory sees the action and flies in.
Gregory: Hey, I want showers too!
King Kai: You already got showers, Gregory. Wait your turn.
Gregory sticks his tongue out at King Kai and flies into the house.
King Kai: Why you little…
King Kai suddenly feels a massive dark energy coming from Earth.
King Kai (in his mind): Woah. What’s up with the dark surge of energy all of a sudden?
King Kai’s face becomes overridden with shock & horror as he feels the dark energy’s signature continue to skyrocket.
King Kai: This is really bad. 
His face starts to sweat. Moments later, everything in the background turns to black while King Kai remains at the forefront. A streak of lightning quickly passes by his ears. It was Shin communicating to him through telepathy.
Shin: King Kai, can you hear me?
King Kai: Yes! I can hear you, Supreme Kai.
Cut to Shin standing attentively on the Sacred World of the Kai.
Shin: That dark energy that you’re feeling comes from none other than Vollena. He’s the first to come from a race of celestial beings known as the Gemrants.
Back to King Kai who is listening to Shin. Bubbles & Gregory look at him wondering what’s going.
Shin: There were seven Gemrants in total and they sought to create a race of people for their own pleasure.
Cut zoom-in on King Kai’s face.
Shin: Six of the Gemrants agreed to allow the people to operate on their own free will. But Vollena opposed, wanting them only to exist to serve them.
Scene changes back to Earth, Shin continues talking while Trunks powers up to launch his Buster Cannon.
Shin: This led to a war among the celestials between Vollena as the most powerful Gemrant versus the six others.
The Vollena-possessed Goten smirks, unfazed by Trunks’ forthcoming attack.
King Kai: Okay, but why is Vollena on Earth now?
Trunks: Goten, please! Cut to Trunks ready to release the energy wave. I know you can hear me in there!
Cut to Shin.
Shin: I’m not fully sure. Unless…
King Kai: ...he’s after the Dragon Balls!
Scene changes to Trunks launching his Buster Cannon at Vollena. The celestial lifts up one arm and holds back the energy wave with one hand. Trunks is astonished.
Trunks: No way! Goten isn’t that strong.
Vollena: You still don’t get it. I’m operating on the conjoined power of my own and that of your former friend.
With the other hand, Vollena flicks the energy wave away like a bug. This creates a disastrous explosion in the far distance, completely destroying a nearby town of hundreds of people. Vollena looked on at the huge mushroom cloud of fire & brimstone before it eventually gave way to smoke.
Vollena: Wow, what a visceral display of power. Why did you hold back? I’d say that you're capable of doing at least twenty times the damage of that.
Trunks: That “visceral” display of power just killed people. There’s a town near here.
Vollena looked back at Trunks and the two eyed each other down.
Vollena: Let me let you in on a little secret, little one. Everyone is evil. A lifetime ago, I learned this when the people I helped create were given free will. I knew the evil in their hearts, the subconscious hate of their neighbors, the constant envy & jealousy while never truly being happy for others more fortnuate, senseless wars over things that are ultimately meaningless. The free-willed mind is a disease that can only be tempered by the autonomy of a divine being.
Trunks: What if that divine being just killed dozens maybe hundreds of people for no reason?
Vollena: It wouldn’t be the best way to get rid of evil, but it’s a way. Besides, you launched that blast so the deaths are really on you.
No words from Trunks. He is amazed at Vollena’s mania. That amazement slowly turns to anger as the ground begins to shake and Trunks’ power begins to rise.
Cut to the Infinity Team appearing in the Yardrat Lab by Instant Transmission. Goku excitedly holds the grip & handle of the Infinity Sword. The whole lab of scientists uproar in celebratory applause.
Dr. Prehx: Excellent work, all of you.
Goku gave the grip & handle to Dr. Prehx for him to set on a machine. The machine harnessed the grip & handle along with the sword shard, discharging a small rainbow shockwave. This surprises the Infinity Team and temporarily shuts down the room’s power.
Goku: Woah! Maybe it would be a good idea if we did this outside when we get the final piece.
Ramon: Yes. Ramon laughs. We will have to do that next time.
18 walks over to the Beautiful Automated Android who’s having repairs done. The android’s head is open that’s full of circuitry and wires. 18 looks at the android, studying it.
Beautiful Automated Android: What are you looking at, blondie?
Android Scientist: I’m so sorry for that remark. She’ll be better when I’m done with her.
18 crosses her arms. She didn’t mind the insult as she felt as if it gave the android more personality.
18: No, I like it.
Vegeta walks up to the near-complete Infinity Sword which has a stronger iridescent glow.
Vegeta: So where to now to finish this little expedition?
Krillin: Hopefully our next trip will be as easy as the one we just did, am I right?
Gohan: I wouldn’t mind that.
Goku: I hope there’s at least one strong guy out there. It’s been a bit of a bust so far. 
A quick streak of lightning passes by Goku’s ears. It was King Kai communicating with him by telepathy.
King Kai: Goku!
Goku: Oh hey, King Kai.
King Kai: The Earth is in trouble and I believe the greater universe may be as well!
Goku: Woah, what is it?
King Kai: An ancient celestial force known as Vollena has been revived and seeks to control the people of Earth by any means necessary.
Goku’s face becomes serious.
Goku: What does he intend to do?
King Kai: Vollena has his own twisted sense of what justice is. He believes that everyone is corrupt at heart and that can only be fixed by dominating everyone.
Goku: Alright, we’re on our way.
The main television screen of the lab overlaid the final destination. The last sword shard was located on a planet named Panapit.
Ramon: There we go.
Cut to a full shot of Ramon looking at the TV overlay.
Ramon: The planet is much further away at 597 million miles away. The atmosphere is toxic dense with 65.7% sulfur dioxide, 15.7% nitrogen, 13.4% oxygen, 4.3% argon, 0.8% carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases.
Vegeta: Not hospitable.
Ramon: Indeed. Not to worry, however. We have protective suits.
Ramon slides a hand in his lab coat and pulls out a remote. Clicking a button on it, a white cabinet pops out of one of the lab walls. The cabinet opens to seven suits with a white & blue color scheme along with a blue star insignia in the middle.
Ramon: These suits feature collapsible helmets that provide sustained oxygen. Cut to Ramon. A localized communication system, color shifting for stealth operations, specialized armor for if we get into a pickle, and… Ramon double-taps one of the suits’ wrist, dispensing a small disc-like object. Trackers!
Krillin: Do they also come with a scouter?
The Infinity Team chuckles from Krillin’s quip. Ramon laughs along, nervously. Even Vegeta gives a little smirk, but nothing from Goku.
Goku: Guys…
The Infinity Team turns to Goku, wondering what’s up.
Goku: There’s something that I need to tell you.
Cut to Amelia’s house on New Titania. Quaint, colonial, overlooking a riverbank. One could faintly hear the steam of a kettle with boiling water.
Inside the house is Thrune & Amelia in the kitchen. Amelia gives a mug of lapacho tea to Thrune while she sits down with him at the kitchen table.
Thrune looks down at his tea and sees a faint reflection of himself. Moments later, he plants his face into his palms. Despondent.
Amelia: Thrune, drink your tea.
Thrune: I’m stranded here with nothing and no one.
Amelia puts her right hand over his.
Amelia: You have me.
Thrune: For what? Just giving me tea and a place to stay?
Amelia: Not just that, but companionship.
Thrune scoffed and took a sip of his tea.
Amelia: Excuse me? What was that grunt about?
Thrune: Wasn’t a grunt. It was a scoff. And the power of love and companionship isn’t gonna get me off this planet. I’m just being realistic.
Amelia: You can do that without sounding like a grumpy-greg. If you need to get out of here so bad, why not just take a spaceship and leave?
Thrune: Technology isn’t advanced enough here. My destroyed pod is 100x faster than your staunchest space vessel. Unless your ships come with cryogenics, I’d rather be stuck here than in space.
Amelia withdraws her hand and takes a sip of her tea. The camera cuts to a full shot of the kitchen table with Thrune & Amelia staring down at their tea.
Cut to black.
