Last Dragon Ball Z Kai...

Krillin and Bulma stood shocked as Vegeta settled the score

with Zarbon,

I was just... fo... following orders...

I... beg you... mercy...

After all the years of being spat on and taunted

by you, I'm expected to show you mercy?

Together... we could prevail over Frieza...

A Touch-and-Go Situation!

Gohan, Protect the Four-Star Ball!

If defeating Frieza were just a matter of teaming up,

it'd be too easy. Bet on it...

Well... There's no telling how you managed to do it,

but I'd say someone upped the scales on his powers

since last we met...

Be that as it may, you're still no match for me.

Now, that Dragon Ball... Are you going to

hand it over quietly without making a scene?

Or are you going to play the hero?

Yeah... I'm guessing it's pretty stupid

to try and strike a bargain with a guy like you...

but if I hand this over do I have your word

that you'll leave us alone?

You want to strike a bargain with me...?

How civilized... Well, I suppose as long as

I get what I'm after, there's no sense in wasting any more time.

You... You really mean it?

Don't press your luck... Quickly... Put the Dragon Ball

in my hands before I have a change of heart.

No... Krillin...

Today's your lucky day, runt. Having all seven of these

puts me in a very forgiving mood indeed...

But I guess the knowledge that I'm about to rule the universe

in Frieza's place would have that effect.

That, and of course, immortality.

Not to rub salt on your wounds or anything... But you, uh...

well, you kind of blew it, huh...? You'd think you'd be

a little more reluctant to hand something over

you'd gone to so much trouble to get.

Exactly what choice did I have but to hand it over to him...?

He would have killed us both if I'd tried to resist...

You know he would've.

Still... Trust me... It's not so bad... We've still got

an ace in the hole. Don't forget about the Dragon Ball

Gohan's looking for... Vegeta had it first

but he must've tucked it away somewhere to keep

Frieza and his goons from finding it...

If we get that one... we're still in the clear.

Oh... yeah... Yeah! You're right...! Gohan will have

totally found it by now...! He's got the radar...! It's funny,

I hadn't even thought of that...! Ha! The kid's probably

headed back here with the goods as we speak!

Probably, yeah... But... Let's just hope

they don't cross paths.

Whoa! Something's headed straight for me!

And... It's... powerful...!

No!

I'm sensing another power level somewhere close by.

I have to conceal my energy...

Hmm. It just disappeared... How the...?

Is my mind playing tricks on me?

Come on. Just ignore it and go away.

Wherever you're hiding, come out now...! It's no use

trying to pull one over on me.

Step out from whatever rock you're cowering behind

or I'll reduce this whole area to rubble!

Would he really do that?

What's wrong...? Scared, huh?

I dunno. I think I might have to go out and face him.

Still, I know what Krillin would say...

Gohan... You've got to play it safe...

Vegeta could crush you like a bug.

What if it's the only way I can keep Vegeta

from getting his hands on another Dragon Ball?

So you still believe you can

hide from me, is that it...?

Well, we'll just see then.

This is it...! Your last chance! And then I fire!

Ahhh–

Wait!

Please, just don't let him find this.

There. Happy now?

Well, it's Kakarot's brat...

Can't say I expected that... Quite the surprise.

I suppose you tagged along with the other Earthlings, eh...?

I already had the pleasure of bumping into them...

Oh no!

How'd you get your hands... on that?

Oh, this? Just a token of friendship...

They were so happy to see me, they gave it to me as a gift.

You monster...! You... You killed my friends... didn't you?

No. But I'm more than happy to go back and do so

if that's what you like...

As a matter of fact... Out of sheer joy

at being the proud new owner of all seven Dragon Balls...

I let them live...

So... you've finally got what you came for.

So... What's that contraption you've got in your hand there?

Ah, it's... Nothing...! It's a clock!

Just a clock? You mean to tell me a civilization

capable of interstellar flight can't keep time

on something smaller than that?

Well maybe we like it that way!

Of course... Speaking of interstellar flight,

is Kakarot here?

No he's not...! We came without him. We didn't know

there'd be bad guys like you on this planet.

So I'm a "bad guy," huh?

All the same... It's a pity he's not here.

We three... We're special...

The last of our kind, in fact... Aren't we...?

Pay attention... I want you to relay a message to him for me.

Haa!

Listening now... Yes? Very good... Tell him I'll be paying

Earth another visit soon... But that this time,

there won't be a happy ending.

Now then... I think you're overdue for a naptime...

You seem a bit grouchy.

Run along back home now, why don't you.

Well... That wasn't fun...

Still... The Dragon Ball is safe and sound.

All right... Ka... Me... Ha... Me Ha!

Yeah. I think that definitely calls for a senzu bean...

Okay... That time was a little too close for comfort.

I've got to be more careful... Don't want all that

intense training to go to waste now, right?

Just two more days until I get there... Well...

That's two more days I can train like there's no tomorrow...

C'mon... Where is he?

Is Gohan coming...?

I just finished packing all of the gear back into capsules...

How much longer you think he's gonna be?

There's no sign of him yet... Oh man... I hope he

didn't run into Vegeta... That would be really bad.

That bastard knows where we are now...! We've got to relocate,

and fast...! What could be taking Gohan so long

to get back...? Come on... Hurry!

Krillin!

He's here!

Look guys, I did it! I found it!

–Yes...! Are we ever glad to see you! –Woo-hoo...! Way to go, kiddo!

Right. Now... There's really no time to explain,

but if the three of us don't get outta here,

we're gonna be in for some serious trouble.

Yeah, I know already. I got stopped

by Vegeta on the way back.

But... Good news is, I managed to keep it hidden from him,

so he never even suspected I had it.

I think that might make you the luckiest person alive...

Yeah... yeah... that's great...

we can talk when we're outta here...

Right.

Here we go again... Only this time around,

I've come to finish the job...

I love it when a plan comes full circle.

All seven are about to be mine...

Eat your heart out, Frieza! My rule over the universe

is just one simple little wish away!

Okay, that's odd. It had to have sunk

to the bottom somewhere around here...

It's vanished! But that's impossible!

The kid!

There's no way he just happened to be

exactly halfway between here and the cave where his friends

were hiding when I ran across him! That wretched little brat!

But how the hell did he even manage

to find it in the first place?

Nothing...! It's a clock!

That was no clock! That was a damned radar!

Damn it...!

Filthy double-crossers...! You'll rue the day...!

You hear me?

You're finished!

Damn it all!

Come out and face me...! Accept your fate like a warrior!

Damn it! They saw this coming...

Where've they gone...? They couldn't have gotten very far...

Ugh, but the little vermin can push their power levels

down to zero, can't they?

I don't stand a chance of finding them like this,

the miserable little cheats... Can't believe I fell for it...

Duped by a trio of weaklings!

But... If they intend to make their own wish,

they'll have to seek me out at some point...

Because save the one they have, I hold the cards!

And I can wait...

It's pretty well hidden, so I think this outta work.

You are completely out of your mind

if you think I'm gonna play house in a dump like this!

Come on, Bulma. Beggars can't be choosers, right?

Try to be reasonable. We're laying low here,

not giving tours.

Dad will be here soon; you can tough it out until then...

It'll be fun!

Oh yeah, sure... it'll be a barrel of monkeys...!

A lady like me sharing a space narrower than a circuit board

with a couple of roughnecks...

Oh, and a non-existent bathroom!

That's just it. You'll have the place to yourself...

See, uh, my plan is to take Gohan with me back

to the where the Grand Elder lives.

It's actually gonna take us a while to get there...

Huh? Why do I have to go?

Ugh. This was your plan...? To ditch me...?

So now I've got to stay in this hole by myself?

Trust me on this one... I know what I'm doing...

Sure, it'll suck for you to have to stay here alone, but...

once I've taken Gohan to the Grand Elder...

he just might be able to take on Vegeta.

Zarbon is certainly taking his time.

He's failed me... And I do hate those who fail me...

At this point, I can only assume that he has either

fled or else been dealt with...

Such a mess... Had I expected this,

I would have called for the Ginyu Force much sooner.

Damn it... If the earthlings really do

have some kind of a radar that can locate Dragon Balls,

I don't dare leave this spot.

Slippery bastards will be hunting for the six I've got...

Nothing left for me to do, but sit here and wait for them

to make the next move. Whatever it may be.

Well, at least I'm not the only one who's stuck...

It appears Frieza's not too happy that I blasted

the engine of his precious spaceship.

Vegeta, you meddling insect!

Great! That's just the thing I need right now: an earthquake.

I have officially had just about all I can stand

of this stupid planet...

If Frieza did call in reinforcements to bring

a new batch of scouters, at most it'll take them

a few days to arrive. I've got to settle this before then.

However mighty he is, putting my boot to his neck will only be

a matter of strategy once I've been granted eternal life...

I just have to strike before the bastard is able to see me coming.

Damn it.

At this speed it's gonna take us almost twice as long

to get there as I thought it would...

But if we try to boost our power levels up any more–

Vegeta will sense it and be able to get the drop on us...

I don't know how it's possible, but he's gotten even stronger

since the last time we saw him... As it stands right now,

not even both of us together could take him down.

Uh... Well, yeah... But that's been the case since he first

came to Earth... are you sure the Grand Elder's

going to be able to even the odds...?

I just don't think I'm all that strong...

Look at how much more powerful he made me

- and I'm not even a Saiyan! We get him to bring out

your hidden power and we're talking about a serious chance

to give Vegeta a run for his money... Worth a shot, right?

Aaauuuugggghhhh! Kaio-ken!

Ha!

Okay...

Ka... me... ha... me... ha!

Oh wow... I'm alive... I guess that's a good sign

that all this work is actually starting to pay off.

Lord Frieza, I have news...! We've just received

a transmission from the Ginyu Force... They're currently in

the vicinity of sector 9035-YX and should be arriving

on planet Namek shortly.

Excellent... Finally someone who'll give me results,

though seeing as how I'm still intact, Vegeta's gambit

must have reached a stalemate... Ah. How infuriating it must be

for our treacherous friend... to come this close to his goal

only to falter.

Oh, he may run... Indeed. But once the Ginyu Force brings

their cutting-edge scouters... try though he might...

scrape though he might... Vegeta won't be able to hide.

Just who or what is this so-called Ginyu Force,

now making its way to Planet Namek?

And will their arrival really mean

certain victory for Frieza, as the tyrant believes?

This rowdy band of mercenaries make their

dramatic entrance... next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey! It's me, Goku!

Whoa. This training regimen's gotten me

so bulked up it's crazy.

Just hold on a little longer guys.

I'll be there before you know it.

Yeah, but... Someone or something with a really high

power level is on the way too, Dad. And I think

they'll get here first!

Frieza, you snake! You wouldn't!

Next time, on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

I've got a bad feeling about this...

The Countdown to Battle Begins!

Enter, The Ginyu Force!
