Last time on Dragon Ball Z Kai...

Goku and Krillin allowed Vegeta to escape,

bringing the battle to a bittersweet end.

With the Saiyans temporarily out of the picture,

the group has set their sights on a new goal:

Finding Dragon Balls on a distant planet,

and restoring their friends to life.

To Namek... and the Dragon Balls!

The Ship Resting in Yunzabit!

Time to Blast Off for Planet Namek!

Yeah.

The doctor said Gohan and I'll be as good as new in a few days,

but he wants us to stay here for observation.

Hey, you've got me beat.

He told me he thought it'd be at least four months for my injuries to heal right.

But he said even if they do, there's still a chance I'll never be the same.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that.

The next crop of Senzu Beans will be ready in another month or so.

You'll be up and about before you know it.

'Til then, you're stuck looking like a mummy who forgot to wrap his face.

Can't believe those quacks wouldn't even admit me after the beating I took!

You mean the beating you got when you were begging the Saiyan not to hurt you?

"Please! I don't wanna die!

I was just kiddin'! I'd never do that to you!

Hey! Maybe we could work together, huh?"

Hey!

I was trying to get him to let his guard down so I could take him out, you idiot!

Yeah, right!

I'm just so proud of all of you for running those nasty Saiyans off.

You know, not only did you save the human race,

but now everyone who died in the battle'll be brought back to life!

Hey!

Quick, turn on the TV! It's all over the news!

Oh, Bulma, it's you...

I thought you were a mannish nurse with a dated hair-do.

I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.

Here! Check it out!

The mysterious object was found in recently devastated Metro East...

And although it can't be confirmed at this time,

it appears to be some type of alien spaceship.

That's the Saiyan's spaceship!

Right?

Hey! I can't see!

Based on early reports from the scene...

This is one of two flying objects that landed in the Metro East area

moments before the city was attacked.

I don't like the sound of this.

Our only hope and it's locked up in a lab somewhere.

It won't be for long.

If this remote control that Krillin found really works,

we can summon the spaceship right to our front door.

They won't even know what happened!

You really think that's a good idea, Bulma?

Look, I'm the genius here...

Leave the thinking to me.

Besides, I spent most of last night studying it.

Look at this.

Beep, beep, beep, beep, there!

Okay, here it goes!

Hey, what's happening now?

Ladies and gentlemen,

the suspected UFO that crashed into the Metro East area earlier this week has just exploded!

There's alien debris everywhere!

What went wrong?

Oh, no! That must have been the self-destruct button!

That was the only ship on the planet fast enough to get us to Planet Namek!

What are we gonna do now?

It was the only chance we had.

You sure are dumb for a smart chick.

It's hopeless!

You realize this is your fault for finding that stupid remote!

But you're the one who pressed that button without knowing what it would do.

Hello.

Hey!

Mister Popo!

I know of a spaceship you might use, if you'd like to see?

Wait, are you serious?

You really have a spaceship?

Maybe.

Hey, who's he?

He is Mister Popo.

Mister Popo?

Mister Popo is kinda like Kami's assistant,

but he'd been living up at the Lookout a long time before Kami got there

helping out the previous guardian.

Maybe even the one before that.

Ohhh!

So what do you mean, you 'maybe' have a spaceship?

It looks like a spaceship.

Possibly...

But I want to make sure before you get your hopes up.

I can take one of you to it if you want to see for yourself.

Who would like to come with me?

Bulma, you should go!

Don't you think?

Wait, me?

You're the only one here who knows anything about spaceships, aren't you?

It only makes sense you should be the one to go.

What's the matter?

Hey, you really trust this guy?

He's just got... sort of a creepy look in his eyes.

Easy...

You're gonna be just fine!

I don't do well with heights.

We should go now.

Fine, but... not too fast, okay?

Here we are.

Already?

Get off.

Why is it so cold?

Where are we, anyway?

The Yunzabit Highlands.

Yunzabit Highlands?

They're across the globe...

We can't have traveled that far so quickly.

Let's see... Where was it?

I believe it was this way.

Where are you going? Wait!

You said there was some kind of spaceship here, but all we've seen so far are rocks!

Well, where is it?

Are you even listening to me?

Hey, if you brought me all the way out here just to try something funny,

you should know I've been taking judo since I was 9 years old! Get me?

Don't go! It was a joke!

Aren't you coming?

Wait... Are you messing with me?

I can't do that!

Geez!

This is it.

Is it what you need?

I don't really know.

I'll take a look.

Whoa, what is this?

It's almost like metal... but it isn't.

Okay, if this is your idea of a practical joke, then it's not funny.

About a hundred years ago,

Kami finally told me the story of his life before he came to the Lookout.

He told me that when he was very young,

he lived here, in Yunzabit...

And I asked him why.

"It's such a desolate land, and so few people ever go there.

Why would anyone want to live in a place like Yunzabit?"

I didn't...

I have no clue how I came to be there.

Apparently I hit my head, for I have no memory of my parents,

or anything else up to that point.

But you had parents, didn't you?

I don't know...

All I had was a letter that read,

"Wait here, and we will come for you soon."

That's sad, but... what does it have to do with this?

When Kami was a boy,

he waited many years for his parents, who never came.

It was in Yunzabit that I spent my childhood.

Throughout my youth,

I remained certain that my parents would return for me.

But my certainty faded with each passing day,

then month, then year.

I wonder how long I waited.

20 years, perhaps?

It could easily have been 30 or more.

Eventually I gave up hope and left my home, and Yunzabit.

I go back to look in on the place every now and then,

but nothing has ever changed.

Okay...

Now would you remind me why I needed to know all that?

This is the time for listening. Understanding comes later.

Back then...

I thought I had the most normal home in the world.

It was years later when I fully comprehended how strange a spherical house really was.

Not to mention its four tiny legs...

or that the door had no knob or lock... {

In fact, the only way I could open it was with a specific vocal command.

And it was...

"Piccolo."

Wow it opened right up!

Now we have to stand on this.

So... Kami used to live in there?

The same command closes the door...

"Piccolo."

Kami called this his house...

but to my eye, it seems that it could be a spaceship.

Of course! Kami is from Namek after all!

And King Kai said that Planet Namek was almost wiped out

by some sort of severe change in the climate there, right?

I heard King Kai as well,

and if it's true that Kami was not of this world, I thought...

surely something must have bought him here...

So I came back to have a look.

Well, if this is a spaceship, and it looks like it is,

it fits perfectly with what Kami told you about his past.

Yes, so with Planet Namek in crisis,

Kami's parents decided to put their son on a spaceship

and send him to Earth so he would be safe.

They must have thought that they could come back for him later, like the letter promised,

but then for whatever reason they weren't able to.

Besides... look at it!

Does this look even remotely like a house to you?

This is a spaceship!

It has to be!

Now we just have to see if we can get her in the air.

The door opens, so that means it's pulling power from somewhere.

I wonder if this is the main switch...

No, that's not it... Maybe...

Gee, I don't know...

It's not working at all.

Maybe it needs a passcode or something.

I don't get it, how can a spaceship not have any buttons or controls?

It doesn't make any sense!

Unless this is some kind of a sensor.

For voice!

Of course! It recognizes words like the entrance does!

Then we say 'Piccolo' to make it fly?

That's probably just the word you use to open and close the door.

I doubt it'll do anything else.

We're going to have to try a more direct approach.

Fly! Fly, you hear me?

This'll never work...

I'm sure it only responds to Namekian, and I don't know any.

I remember Piccolo said something in a strange language when he fought Goku,

but I had no idea it was an alien language.

I wish I'd paid closer attention to what he said.

If the language you heard Piccolo speak is Namekian, then I happen to speak it too.

You do?

I know that Piccolo's name means 'other world' in the language he and Kami spoke,

and it just so happens that the word 'Piccolo' also means entrance.

Why didn't you say so in the first place?

So the name 'King Piccolo' in Namekian would translate to

something along the lines of 'King of Another World'...

Well, what are you waiting for? Tell it to fly!

Tell it to fly where?

Anywhere is fine...

Why don't we start with someplace around Jupiter?

Topul kuppa koloppungo.

It's Jupiter!

This isn't just a spaceship, it's an amazing spaceship!

You really did it, Mister Popo!

It's exactly what we need!

I'm so glad.

If this works that means that Kami will come back as well!

It is a spaceship! And it's perfect!

It's fast, and it won't need much work...

just a few minor modifications.

We could easily be on Namek within the month!

Let's see...

If we work fast, we can launch in 5 days!

We're flying Kami's spaceship to Namek?

That's great!

It seems like there might be a light at the end of this tunnel after all!

It's all thanks to you, Mister Popo.

I'm so happy you're going to be joining us.

Oh, I cannot go to Planet Namek.

I'm sorry, but I just can't...

If I went with you then I'd be away from the Lookout for at least 2 months or more.

Too long.

You're kidding me!

You're the only one of us who speaks Namekian!

You have to come with us! And besides, you're huge!

What if we get attacked and we need your help?

You can learn. I'll teach you Namekian.

If anybody can do it, you can, Bulma!

This is great! Think about it...

If the ship breaks down, you'll be there to fix it!

Okay...

I guess the trip won't be too dangerous.

But I am not going all by myself, understand?

One of you is coming with me!

Don't look at me...

No way I'm going to that screwy planet!

You can't go, the spaceship has a weight limit.

Goku is hurt, so he can't come...

Hey, Krillin...

Shut up, cat.

You'll come with me, right?

Oh! Uh... I guess I can.

Sure... I mean, if you really want me to.

Sounds nice... I wish I could join you.

I'd really want to see what kind of Shenron would be on Planet Namek.

Maybe he's blue...

I'll check it out for you...

But for right now, you need to rest up and figure out a way to beat the Saiyans.

Yeah, you're right. It's up to the two of you, then.

I... I...

I... I want to go to Namek with you!

Now, that's adorable. But...

This isn't the right time to be making silly jokes.

I'm not making a joke, I really wanna go!

Please... let me... I don't want to stay here!

No! You're not going you hear me?

You'd be away for another 2 months!

I'm sorry, Mom... but...

I want to go more than anything...

I want to be there to see Piccolo when they bring him back to life!

How could you even say something like that?

Just look at you! You're not even properly healed yet!

I'm fine. I will be, anyway.

Gohan! Baby, what are you doing?

Stop! Gohan, listen to me! I'm your mother!

Please, Mom... All I want is for you to say I can go.

I will not! I forbid it!

Do you even know what you're asking?

You're not going anywhere!

Not for 2 months!

Have you thought about all the school you'd miss?

And those piano lessons won't take themselves!

You can't fall behind for Piccolo!

Shut up!

My baby boy!

He... he's turning into a delinquent!

I'm... sorry, Mom...

but... if you want to talk about how bad I'm turning out,

we can do that later.

Right now we have to focus on our friends.

They fought hard trying to protect us.

And they died to save us... and the Earth!

But it wasn't for nothing... It can't have been for nothing!

I just... I have to do something!

I'm sorry, Mom... I really am... But I have to.

You have to admit he has a point, Chi-Chi.

Seems to me he has his mind made up...

Give him your blessing, let him go.

That's my Gohan...

He's getting stronger every day.

Don't you worry about a thing.

We'll take good care of him.

And with all of us there to look after each other, what's the worst that could happen?

You said 5 days... can you learn Namekian by then?

Good point...

It will take some time to program a translator...

So lets call it 10 to be safe, 'Kay?

We'll meet in 10 days at Roshi's!

Great!

So, with preparations under way

10 days passed in a blink of an eye.

And now... the day of the launch has arrived!

Are you sure this thing can get us all the way to Planet Namek?

That's a pretty snazzy outfit, Krillin.

Did you rob the kids department?

You realize it's freezing in space, don't you?

I thought you'd take your packing choices a little more seriously like me.

I even cut my hair for this!

Gohan, I barely recognized you!

What's wrong with your hair? You lose a bet?

No...

Dad laughed the first time he saw me, too.

Say what you will,

but I think he looks like a perfect little gentleman...

He's going to make quite the impression!

We're counting on you.

If there's Dragon Balls on Namek, I know you'll find them.

Right!

Piccolo.

Bye, Grandpa. Goodbye, Mom.

Bye, Master Roshi and Mister Turtle.

We'll be back soon... I promise.

Piccolo.

Eat as much as you can, whenever you can!

And don't forget to write to me every day!

Bye!

Whoa! This is kind of exciting, isn't it?

Hey, Bulma.

Where do you want us to put our bags and stuff?

I don't care, just somewhere out of the way... and hurry up!

Hmm... She sure is grouchy today.

We launch in 5 seconds... Our destination... Namek.

Hold on a second! We're not ready to go!

4...

3...

2...

1...

Stop! We're still not ready yet!

Couldn't you at least waited 'til we got our seatbelts on?

Bulma wasn't lying about the spaceship being fast.

They're almost out of sight already!

Gohan!

Remember to brush after you eat!

You're free to move around now if you want.

Things should run more smoothly now that we've left the atmosphere.

Really? So soon?

Hey, Bulma, where're you going?

If you really must know...

I'm changing my clothes.

Seriously? Like into pajamas?

Hey, speaking of...

I think I forgot to bring anything to sleep in.

What about you?

Pajamas were the first thing that I packed.

Not that it's any of my business...

but I was starting to wonder how long you were gonna stay in that nerd costume.

It was just for launch.

I made something to change into later, but I didn't want Mom to see it before we left.

You really have a lot of respect for Piccolo...

don't you?

Yep! Almost as much as I do for Dad!

Those are some funny-looking pajamas.

They look uncomfortable.

These aren't my pajamas, you idiots.

I was just tired of being the only person on the ship

who cared enough to dress appropriately for the mission at hand!

Hey... so...

Did we do something to tick her off that I don't remember?

With a mighty blast, the borrowed Namekian spaceship

has begun its long journey home,

with our trio of friends on board...

blissfully unaware of the dangers that await them...

Next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hi there, I'm Chi-Chi.

Dear Gohan, are you remembering to brush your teeth?

I hope you're doing the homework I packed for you.

Mommy misses you so much!

Homework?

Gohan has more important things to worry about than homework!

Just study hard and let Krillin do all the dangerous stuff, okay honey?

And don't forget, your mother loves you baby!

Next time on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

A Powerful New Foe!

Frieza, Ruler of the Universe!

Um, Dad, there sure are a lot of bad guys here...
