Last Dragon Ball Z Kai...

In a crushing display of his newly increased powers,

Vegeta dealt rival Cui out of the game for good.

Meanwhile, sensing the dark forces

that had converged on Namek,

Krillin and Gohan decided to

venture out of their hiding place

to investigate what Frieza and his men were up to...

Back on Earth,

Goku made a complete recovery,

and is determined to enter the fray... now!

Protect the Dragon Balls!

The Namekians' All-Out Attack!

Why, Goku...!

Aww...

Hi, Bulma's mom!

You've healed so fast, can it really be you?

Oh, it's me alright...

Do you know if the spaceship

I asked Bulma's dad to fix is done yet?

Well... I'm not sure.

Last I saw, he was still tinkering around.

He's still working...?

That's not good.

Oh, come along. Let's go see him.

He's in the inner yard.

Oh my, who would've ever thought

our darling little Goku

would grow up to be so dashingly handsome...?

You simply must take me out sometime soon, yes?

Uh, sure, yeah...

Just let me... defeat the Saiyans...

Well, aren't you the busy beaver...

Y'know, I stumbled across

the most adorable cake shop the other day...

And the thought occurred to me...

If you hadn't saved the world it'd be gone...

So thank you.

Heh. Heh. Oh, don't mention it.

Sweetums!

Goku's here to see

how you're doing on the space-thingy.

Woah! You've gotta be kidding me...

That's my spaceship?

It's the size of a house!

Hey there... Didn't take you long to heal up.

No... Korin gave me a Senzu bean...

But what about the ship...?

Are you really not finished with it yet?

Mmm... Just a few odds and ends left...

Come on in and have a look.

Let me run and get you somethin' to wet your whistles, 'Kay?

That'd be great, thank you.

Oh wow...! Amazing...!

How does one little space pod turn into something like this?

Built to your specifications,

with a few tweaks of my own.

Ah! There's room for all kinds of training in here.

Quite a challenge...

Hell, just locating this thing was an adventure...

Not to mention she was in shambles for the most part...

But, luckily there was enough of 'er still intact

for me to reverse engineer...

Practically built the thing from scratch.

Wait, it was in shambles? My little pod...?

That's weird...

I wonder if I did somethin' to mess it up

when I was a kid...

Well, shambles or not,

Saiyan technology is pretty damn spectacular.

So, uh... Where's the... uh... Artificial Gravity Device?

Here... Just like ya asked for.

Whoa. Looks complicated.

Not at all. See, there's the "on" switch.

And that's the controller...

Now, this puppy can put out a hundred G's,

as you requested...

So be very careful...

That kind of force is nothing to thumb your nose at.

Even for someone like you...

After all... If you weighed just a hundred pounds,

a hundred G's would put you at ten-thousand pounds...

Five tons... A man'd have to be crazy–

Trust me... That's the idea.

I'm gonna have to push myself really hard

between here and Namek...

So is this thing ready for space travel yet or what?

Oh, she'll fly... Like a shooting star...

You can bet your life on it.

Wha...? So...

So your bedroom, bathroom,

and fully stocked kitchen

are just down that ladder there...

Wait. I don't get it.

What exactly is left to be done?

I haven't yet found an optimal spot

to mount the stereo speakers...

No point goin' hi-fi if ya don't do it right.

So... Speakers...

A set of speakers is all that's keepin' me on the ground?

That's all, he says... Ha...!

I'll have you know it's quite tricky.

There's natural acoustics to consider,

reverberation, tons of issues...

But... Who cares about where you put the speakers!

I'm in the biggest hurry of my life here!

I have to get goin'!

So sound quality is of no concern?

I got a message from your daughter,

for cryin' out loud!

I need to leave, like, yesterday!

Hmm...

Please, please, please!

You gotta show me how to fly this thing! Now!

Fine, fine...

But you're absolutely sure about the stereo speakers?

Uh-huh!

The flight data you need has been pre-programmed...

At the touch of a button... bleep-bloop...

Ya just sit back...

And let the ship make the six-day flight

to Namek on its own.

Six days...? I can get to Namek in six days?

You're a genius doc!

La, la, la, la...

Is it true?

Is Goku really here right now?

Oh, yes...

He's touring the newly refurbished spaceship

in the inner yard.

Oh...!

'Kay... Now... I think... I press this button next.

Uhh...

Huh...

Considering how hastily I threw her together...

She does fly like a shooting star.

What the...? Hey, where's Goku?

He left in quite a tizzy.

I hope he was sure about

those stereo speakers...

Man, this thing sure is fast, huh?

Time to start trainin'...

It's great that I'll get to Namek in just six days and all,

but that doesn't give me a whole lot of time

to make sure I'm up to fightin' Vegeta and his pals.

Now let's see if I remember this right...

King Kai said his planet had ten-times the gravity of Earth,

so I'm thinkin'

twenty-times the gravity oughta be a good start...

There we go.

Uhh...

That's it. Feel the burn.

Okay... We're close.

So go ahead and suppress your power completely...

We'll sneak up on 'em from here.

You got it.

They're on the other side of that cliff.

Man these guys are strong...

Are those houses?

They look a lot like the ship we flew here in.

Whatever they're up to, it can't be good...

The lackeys are one thing...

but those three right there,

especially the funny-lookin' one in the middle...

Their power's unbelievable!

I can feel it, too...

Uh...!

Gohan, do you see what I'm seeing?

The big one and the guy with the hair,

look at what they've got in their hands!

I didn't know Dragon Balls could be so big!

Huh...?

Something wrong, Dodoria?

I thought I picked up a tiny power level

coming from that cliff just a second ago;

but whatever it was, it's gone now...

It was probably an insect or something.

Wasn't good...

We were this close to being spotted.

Frieza, sir.

Only five appear to be home...

According to them, the rest are "tilling the land."

Get out here now... otherwise I start shootin'!

Huh...?

Hey, that guy looks just like Piccolo!

It's... a real-live Namekian!

What are they gonna do?

Why did they force 'em all outside?

Krillin, think any of those bad guys are Saiyan?

No they're not...

They all have the same battle gear on,

but those goons aren't Saiyan.

Besides, according to Vegeta,

he's the last Saiyan in existence

in the whole universe, remember...?

Well, not counting you and your dad, of course.

Then... who are they?

Now that I think about it,

Goku's big brother mentioned some crew...

We scour the known universe.

We search for planets with habitable environments

that using our superior combat skills

eliminate all native forms of life...

I'm not sure, but I think these are the same guys

he was talking about.

Only thing... I don't see Vegeta anywhere yet, do you?

Do ya think he's looking for

the Dragon Balls someplace else?

What...?

Greetings, my name is Frieza.

As you can no doubt surmise for yourselves,

I'm quite the collector of Dragon Balls.

So now... I've told you a little something about me...

I expect you to repay the courtesy

by telling us the whereabouts of your neighbors.

Our sources say there should be ten of you.

You intend stay silent on the matter...?

Very well then.

Come now, we haven't got all day, have we?

Nuwainita... hanitaemao moteleki koeto...

Huh... A valiant effort, my friend;

but you will kindly answer our questions in the same language

with which they are addressed to you, not this gibberish.

As I said, the others are tilling the land...

Only the old and very young stay behind...

I speak the truth.

There, you see? That wasn't so difficult.

Continue to cooperate and you've nothing to fear...

Now, let's move on to more pressing concerns, shall we?

I believe you have a Dragon Ball in your possession?

You are to present it to me immediately.

Wha... I've... no idea what you're speaking of...

Dodoria.

Lord?

I'm confused.

That other Namekian we spoke to...

He related something quite intriguing, did he not?

Yes... He did...

Somethin' about not being able to hand over

his Dragon Ball except to someone worthy... Heh...

Indeed... He was most adamant about that point.

Try as we might, though,

we could not get him to say more.

At least... not before we decided to kill one of them.

Once that became part of the discussion,

he opened up quite a bit.

About how the Grand Elder of this world

created seven Dragon Balls...

How each one was entrusted to the care of a specific guardian,

who is required to determine,

by conducting trials of wit and strength,

whether a given seeker's wish is honorable...

And that only after being determined sufficiently worthy

can someone obtain the Dragon Balls, et cetera, et cetera...

Well, and as you might imagine,

I had quite a difficult time

convincing the poor fellow to see me as worthy...

I was told flat out

that I'd never obtain a single Dragon Ball.

And since I've never been one to take bad news well,

I'm afraid I killed him.

That did delay our efforts to find

the first Dragon Ball somewhat...

But after locating it,

the next three were simply a matter of using

the right balance of persuasion and tact.

Since then, your people have been

extraordinarily accommodating.

Heh... Oh, I see...

That's how it works, huh?

Accommodating, you say?

You're a liar...!

I don't believe a word!

There's no way the others

would've handed over their Dragon Balls

without protest to someone as vile as you!

Ah you see, that's where you're wrong;

once we showed them this little ice-breaker

they were glad to help.

Zarbon, if you would.

Sir.

You...!

No!

Those rotten bastards!

Why...?

Gohan! You have to control your power

or they'll find us!

But we can't just sit here...!

Look, you do wanna bring Piccolo and the others

back to life right?

There's no way in hell

the two of us can take on someone like him.

If we try... all we'll get for our trouble is... dead.

So what'll it be?

I trust we are all feeling a bit more cooperative now, yes?

What is your reason for collecting the Dragon Balls?

Oh, quite a frivolous little wish, really...

I simply desire eternal life for myself. Nothing extravagant.

He wants what...?

But what about Vegeta...?

He... He's out for eternal life, too. Right...?

Do you think maybe these aren't

Vegeta's friends after all?

I don't know...

Over my dead body would I ever grant

our Dragon Ball to someone like you!

Not really much of a challenge, I fear...

If that's how you feel.

My, such frustrating tenacity...

I suppose it is to be expected in someone your age.

Still... Would you waste the lives of one's so young?

You monster!

No! How dare you?

Huh...?

There's something strong nearby.

Hmm...?

Lord Frieza! Up in the sky!

Ah! Good! They're here!

Uh... There's more of 'em!

I think they've come to fight!

So... my sense of foreboding was justified after all...

That was rude...

Interrupting our little chat...

And here we were so close to an agreement...

A pity too that you've come all this way to die...

Heh, heh, heh...

Because die you shall...

I didn't want to believe it.

But I can see that the rumor of someone

razing our villages to the ground

in search of Dragon Balls is true!

You'll pay dearly for this!

How dare you come here and violate the peace of our world?

Oh... Do you three intend to cause a scene?

How strong are the three of you,

I can't help but wonder...

Hmm... Dodoria?

Ha! Just a moment, sir. I'll check.

Don't be disappointed;

but they're all in the neighborhood of one-thousand...

There's hardly a need for us

to even lift a finger.

Of course... I understand now.

We've always taken care to scatter our dwellings at random

across this planet to foil potential aggressors;

but these fiends...

Those infernal devices tell them exactly where we are...

That's rich...!

You weaklings wanna rumble with us?

With a power level of just a thousand each? Seriously?

No...

They're suppressing their full power. Can't you even tell?

Man, for an elite fighting force these guys sure are clueless.

Wait a sec, the Saiyans were caught off guard

when we did that too... weren't they?

You imbecile...

I thought you said their power level

was just a thousand...

Uhh... Uhh...

I don't understand.

Their power's increased to at least three-thousand each!

Gotta hand it to them;

they're really not all that bad.

Oh, I see...

The Namekians are able to disguise their strength...

Not many breeds I've seen can manage that.

They seem to be using it to their advantage.

Good, good.

Including his own,

only three of those contraptions remain unbroken.

Stand away from me, children...

Quick now, there's not much time!

Go!

Dodoria.

Right...

I'll teach them a lesson.

Trying to pull a fast one on us, huh?

Mind if I try to take all of them out at one time, my lord?

Knock yourself out.

You bastard...! Ha...!

Tell me that's not your idea of a technique!

Cause if so, I'd say you're thoroughly screwed!

Dodoria...! He's after the scouters!

Stop him! Take him down!

Scouters?

Ah... is that what they call those things

that tell them how strong someone is?

Ah... That's it!

That's how they're able to pinpoint

the location of the Dragon Balls.

The same way they size up an opponent's power!

They've been using those devices to track down Namekians

and bully them into doing what they want.

The old one's figured out their game though;

that's why he's trying to bust all the scouters up!

That little...!

I'm through playin' games now!

Every last one of 'em's gonna die!

Ya hear me? Every last one! Starting with you!

Elder! Look out!

The Elder's quick thinking has backfired,

sparking a fury in Dodoria as terrifying as it is sudden...

Can Gohan and Krillin simply watch

while Frieza and his cronies do their worst to the Namekians?

Find out, next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey, it's me! Goku!

I'll be on Namek in just six days, guys.

Don't do anything reckless!

You've gotta control yourself, Gohan!

If they spot us, we're done for!

No way!

I'm gonna give these creeps what's comin' to 'em!

Oh no! What have you done?

Run away!

Next time, on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

I'm sorry, I can't just sit still!

Dodoria's Terrifying Chase!

A Truth Revealed to Vegeta!
