Note: This is based on the Funimation dub of the movie.
This movie starts with an alien boy being chased by a monster. The monster squashes him. On Earth, a bank robbery is stopped by the Great Saiyaman and the Great Saiyanman II, also known as the Great Saiyawoman. They are watched by an old alien in the shadows. The next day, Gohan and Videl are called out of school to rescue an old man from committing suicide. When they arrive, it is the same alien who was watching them the night before. Gohan saves him, and the old alien introduces himself as Hoi. He tells the two of the legendary warrior, Tapion. Tapion was sealed inside a music box and that he was trying to liberate Tapion from the box. Gohan tries to open the box, but he is not strong enough to open it. Hoi tells them that he knows of the Dragonballs which would be able to open the box. Gohan says that they would have to go to Bulma's house first so she could examine it. She tells everyone that the contents of the box would only be revealed by its opening. Goku tries to open the box, but even the mighty Saiyan could not open the box. The group starts collecting the Dragonballs, and Hoi then summons the eternal dragon, Shenron. He wishes that Tapion would be released from the music box, a wish that Shenron grants. Tapion is brought out of the music box playing an ocarina, and the music box is destroyed. Tapion is the same alien species as the boy who got trampled upon at the beginning of the movie. Hoi greets him, telling him that he has been released from the box that had been holding him for almost a thousand years. Tapion demands to be resealed inside the music box, an impossible task because of the damages done by his release. Tapion then storms off, furious that he had been released. Trunks eventually tracks him down and frequently brings Tapion things such as food. That night, what appears to be the lower body of an insect-like monster starts attacking the city. The two superheroes investigate and try to battle it. They start fighting the legs and tail of the monster, and are thrown across town by the tail. Gohan transforms into Ultimate Gohan. Gohan attacks the legs, making Videl think that he had won. Gohan knows it is not over. Then the monster disappears into a cloud of fog. Inside the fog, Tapion appears, playing his ocarina. Gohan also sees Hoi. At some point in the near future, Trunks was once again delivering food to Tapion. Hoi attacks Tapion, trying to destroy his ocarina. It eventually makes it way to Trunks's hands. Hoi tells Trunks that Tapion is the real monster. Trunks throws the ocarina to Tapion. Hoi escapes and Tapion starts showing compassion towards Trunks, asking if Trunks would like to dine with him. Then Trunks then invites Tapion to Capsule Corp. After a night of playing with Tapion, Tapion leaves Trunks so he can sleep. Bulma thanks him for spending time with Trunks, and Tapion decides to tell Bulma his story. He starts talking about Hoi's race and how they were power hungry. When they arrived on Tapion's planet, they resurrected a monster that was defeated in ancient times on the planet. The monster they resurrected was named Hirudagon, the insect-like creature that was sort of attacking the city. Hirudagon started destroying everything on the planet. A wizard on the planet discovers two ocarinas and a sacred sword. Tapion and his brother, Minotia, took the ocarinas and confronted Hirudagon. Either one not knowing how to play, the ocarinas show that they are enchanted by allowing Tapion and his brother to play the melody that was Hirudagon's weakness. The song distracted the monster long enough for the wizard to come up and slash Hirudagon in half. To prevent Hirudagon from doing more harm, the upper half was sealed inside Tapion and the lower half was sealed inside Minotia. Tapion and his brother were sealed inside magic music boxes that were sent to the opposite sides of the galaxy. Hoi, the last of the his kind, decides to resurrect Hirudagon. He freed Minotia along with the lower half of Hirudagon. The lower half tramples Manotia, as seen in the beginning of the movie. Now Hoi is on Earth, trying to bring the upper half of Hirudagon out of Tapion which can happen when he sleeps. To allow Tapion to sleep peacefully, Bulma decides to make a giant version of the music box out of the same material that lets out the same frequency. The next night, Tapion sleeps in the giant music box, but has a nightmare that causes him to destroy the box and part of the building. At the same time, Hirudagon's lower half starts attacking another city. The others arrive at Capsule Corp. to inspect the damage. Then Tapion tells them to kill him to prevent the two halves of Hirudagon to become one. However, they are too late, and the upper half if freed. It unites with his lower half. They start fighting the monster, but to no avail. Even as Super Saiyans it is pointless. Hirudagon, however, is able to evaparate into fog to dodge attacks. Hirudagon keeps getting stronger as the fight goes on. Vegeta than joins the fight, angry at Hirudagon for destroying his house. Goten and Trunks fuse together to make a Super Saiyan 3 Gotenks. Gotenks fires his Die Die Missile Barrage, appearing to neurrtralize the monster. However, the monster just transforms into a more powerful form. In his new form, he bashes Gotenks so hard that when he hits the ground, he is separated back into Goten and Trunks. After a little more fighting between Goku and Hirudagon, Tapion plays his ocarina and seals Hirudagon inside of him. He gives Trunks his sword and tells Trunks to kill him. Trunks can not do this, however. He is about to do it when Hirudagon breaks free. When Hirudagon breaks out, the ocarina is destroyed. Hoi laughs at Tapion for being so naive, but then he is trampled by Hirudagon, killing him. Goku then transforms into a Super Saiyan 3 and starts fighting Hirudagon again. Trunks uses Tapion's sword to cut off Hirudagon's tail. Goku then uses the Dragon Fist technique, destroying Hirudagon. Tapion gives his sword to Trunks and uses Bulma's time machine to leave, most likely to go back to live on his planet with his brother. The final Dragonball Z movie ends with the credits, showing Trunks (alternate timeline) destroying Mecha Frieza.
