[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z!

Faced with the terror of Frieza and his evil henchmen,

three brave Namekian warriors stepped up

to meet the challenge!

[NARRATOR] Though heavily outnumbered,

the Nameks launched into battle with all their might...

Stunning Frieza's men

with their unexpected show of power.

[NARRATOR] The Nameks moved with lightning speed

and with their superior strength and agility,

their enemies found themselves chasing shadows,

unable to land a single blow.

And for a time, it seemed the forces of good

would win the day...

Raaugh!

[yelling]

Go! Go! Go!

Atta way!

[NARRATOR] But the scene took a sudden turn for the worse,

as Frieza ordered his lieutenant Dodoria

to put an end to the Namek resistance...

[DODORIA] So do you just want me to kill one as an example?

[FRIEZA] Kill them all.

[NARRATOR] That's when the Namek Elder

made a bold, and desperate move!

The scouters! I should have known.

That's what he's aiming for!

[thinking] That crafty old dog.

Uh, wait a second.

Why is he just destroying the scouters?

Think about it!

Without the scouters, Frieza and his men

won't be able to find the Nameks or the Dragon Balls!

Even if Frieza gets the Dragon Ball he's looking for here,

he's gonna have a heck of a time

tracking down the next one. You gotta admire him.

He's risking everything to protect his people!

[NARRATOR] Unfortunately, the Elder's bravery

in the face of danger

only served to incur Dodoria's wrath...

[DODORIA] You think you're pretty smart, don't you?!

But you're not!

I'll kill all you Nameks!

[DODORIA] And I'm gonna start with you!

[DODORIA yells]

[NARRATOR] Dodoria attacks! Today, on Dragon Ball Z!

Raaugh!

[NAMEKS gasping]

[GOHAN and KRILLIN gasping]

[ELDER NAMEK grunting]

Elder!

Dodoria! Not yet!

[FRIEZA] I want you to eliminate

these three young warriors first!

[DODORIA yells]

[DODORIA chuckles menacingly]

[DODORIA] All right.

A little appetizer before the main course.

[DODORIA chuckling]

[DODORIA] Now, which one of you pathetic weaklings

wants to be first to die?

[NAMEK 1] Don't be ridiculous. There's three of us!

We have you outnumbered.

Oh? Don't think you'll find safety in numbers.

I can take on twelve of you.

Huh?!

Waaugh!

[NAMEK 2 growling]

Raaah!

Taah!

[NAMEK 2 screaming]

[DODORIA chuckles]

[NAMEKIAN CHILDREN whimpering]

[GOHAN & KRILLIN gasping]

[NAMEK 3 growling]

[growling]

Raaah!

[BOTH gasping]

[grunting]

[sighs]

[DODORIA coughs, chuckles]

Nooo!

You're kidding! That didn't even faze him?! Come on!

[DODORIA yelling]

[NAMEK 3 screams]

[yelling continues]

[NAMEK 3 shouting]

[MOORI gasps]

[GOHAN & KRILLIN gasping]

[DODORIA chuckling]

[FRIEZA] Heh, heh...

So, do you finally understand?

As I've tried to explain to you from the start,

it is impossible for you to defeat us.

Now, give me the Dragon Ball!

[MOORI growls]

[FRIEZA] Good. You can trust me when I say

you've made the right decision.

And since you owe us something in return

for destroying our scouters,

I think this is more than an equitable trade,

don't you agree?

[NAMEKIAN CHILDREN whimpering]

You wretch... You leave me no choice.

Just promise me you'll leave us in peace!

[ZARBON] Hmph.

[FRIEZA] Oh, and don't worry

I'll keep an eye on the children until you get back.

[KRILLIN] Rrgh... You got what you wanted. Enough already!

[GOHAN growling]

I hate him!

Calm down, Gohan. I told you, we're just gonna have to wait.

I don't like it either,

but we aren't gonna do any good by getting ourselves killed!

[GOHAN growling]

[GOKU grunting]

Huh?

[GOKU squealing]

Wah!

[GOKU grunts]

Oww!

Wow, whoever said "no pain, no gain"

definitely wasn't kidding! Ow!

Here, now you have what you came for. Take it and leave!

[FRIEZA] I'll do that.

[FRIEZA] And while I'm deciding whether or not to kill you,

tell me where to find the last two Dragon Balls!

How dare you! We had an agreement!

Take your Dragon Ball and leave us as promised!

You'll get nothing more from me!

[FRIEZA] Hmph.

Go. For the last time, go now, and leave us in peace!

Oh, shut up. I promised nothing.

And considering the circumstances,

I'd hardly say you're in a position

to be issuing threats.

Now, tell me what I want to know,

or I'll beat it out of you!

How dare you! Do your worst!

[growling]

Uugh!

[NAMEKIAN CHILDREN] Oh, no! Elder!

You monster! What have you done?!

You can torture me all you'd like.

It won't do you any good! I don't know where they are!

One: You're lying.

And two: You've already hindered my search

by destroying the scouters.

Normally, I'd say that's more than enough reason

to kill you. But I'm feeling generous.

I'll give you one last chance to save yourself.

[MOORI] And why should I trust you?

Why should I believe the word of a murderer?

[FRIEZA giggles]

Oh well, I guess you caught me.

I was planning to kill you even if you talked.

You!

We don't need him.

Even without the scouters,

it shouldn't be too difficult to find the next village.

Yes, Zarbon. You must have read my mind.

[DODORIA chuckles]

Those... scumbags!

Children, listen to me. Run and get help!

Uh-huh!

[NAMEKIAN CHILDREN whimpering]

Alright, then. If it's a fight you want, so be it!

Raah!

Taah!

Huh...? Aah!

[GOHAN and KRILLIn gasp]

No... Cargo!

[GOHAN growling]

Don't do it, Gohan!

[growling continues]

I'm sorry, but if we go down there

we'll end up just like him!

Say something! Cargo! Oh, Cargo, please!

[DODORIA growling]

[MOORI grunts]

Uwaugh!

Aaaah!

Aah!

[whimpering]

[FRIEZA giggles]

Ha, ha, ha...

That's two Nameks down, and one more to go.

[screams]

Ha, ha, ha!

[GOHAN growling]

[DODORIA laughs heartily]

What's wrong? Don't you wanna play, kid?

[GOHAN growling]

[DODORIA] I do! And I know just the thing:

Play dead!

[GOHAN screaming]

Stop it!!

[KRILLIN] Gohan! No!

[FRIEZA] Hm?

[ZARBON] Ah!

What the...? Who's that? Huh?

[GOHAN growling]

Huh?!

Ha! Take that, jerk!

What? Where did you come from?

[KRILLIN] Well, here we go!

If you want him, you're gonna have to get through me!

If you insist--

[KRILLIN] Yaah!

[GOHAN] Good one, Krillin!

C'mon, Gohan! We gotta get outta here! Right now!

Move, Gohan!

Zarbon, make a note, please.

I must find out who those little rodents are.

Noted.

[DODORIA growling]

Dodoria, what are you doing?!

Get off your fat butt and follow them, now!

[DODORIA yelling]

[yells]

[DODORIA laughing]

Step on it, Gohan!

If he catches us, we're just as good as dead!

Got it!

Okay, so you want to turn it up a notch, do you?

Oh, great! Lumpy's gaining on us! We're in trouble!

Those two were fairly strong.

Whoever they are, I suspect they're the ones

who took out our scouts earlier.

And if we're not careful,

they could cause us even more trouble. Perhaps--

[FRIEZA] Zarbon...

You disappoint me...

Could it be your faith in my power is beginning to waver?

[FRIEZA chuckling]

They are just a minor annoyance, Zarbon.

Nothing more.

[GOKU grunting]

Wah!

[GOKU squealing]

[DODORIA] Give it up! It's no use!

You can run but there's nowhere you can hide!

[DODORIA] I'm gonna get you!

And when I do, I'm going to make you pay!

And pay dearly!

[DODORIA laughing]

Ah!

[DODORIA growling]

[DODORIA] Haa!

Heads up!

[DODORIA laughing]

[DODORIA] Haa!

[DODORIA] Haa, haa, haa, haa!

[KRILLIN] Aargh!

Uh?! Oh, no!

Ah-Aaah!

[DODORIA laughing]

[KRILLIN gasps]

[KRILLIN] Let go!

[DODORIA laughing]

[KRILLIN] Hyaah!

[DODORIA groaning]

I'm not gonna make it!

[KRILLIN sighs]

Gohan! Get going! He's closing in and fast!

Haah!

[BOTH] Huh?!

They're quick! Just makes killing 'em all the more fun.

[GOHAN screams]

Hey, Krillin! Don't look now, but he's right behind us!

Never mind! Just keep going

as fast as you can!

Our only hope is if we can outrun him somehow!

[DODORIA chuckling]

[DODORIA laughing]

Man! He's still gaining and I'm out of ideas...

Wait! No, I'm not! Gohan!

Listen! Whatever happens, just keep going!

Don't look back!

I think I might have a way to slow this guy down!

Okay!

Hmm...?

[KRILLIN grunting]

[KRILLIN] Alright, big guy! Watch the birdie!

Solar Flaaaare!

[DODORIA grunting]

[DODORIA] My eyes! My eyes! What have you done to my eyes?!

Whadda you know? It actually worked!

[DODORIA] I'll get you for this! I swear it!

[DODORIA groaning]

C'mon, Gohan! Hurry! Now's our chance!

[groaning]

Where... Where are they?!

If those little twerps think they can outrun me,

they've got another thing coming.

And when I get my hands on them,

they're gonna lose a lot more than their eyes!

Do you hear me?! I'm gonna tear you apart!

I'm gonna rip you to pieces!

And I'm gonna love every minute of it!

[DODORIA growls frustratedly]

[KRILLIN chuckling]

That was great, Krillin! Where'd you learn that?

Oh, uh, it's just a little trick I picked up from Tien.

[DODORIA growling]

[growling continues]

[GOHAN] Shhh!

I thought so...

Without his scouter, he doesn't know how to find us!

[DODORIA growling]

[NARRATOR] Have Krillin's surprise escape tactics

actually succeeded in throwing Dodoria off their trail?

For now, he can only hope,

for as he has seen too many times already,

the brunt of Dodoria's anger can be deadly...

The tension mounts for our heroes,

as Dodoria circles high above.

And the slightest sound, the smallest false step,

could bring the full weight of his wrath

crashing down upon them!

Don't look up! There's danger in the skies!

Next time on Dragon Ball Z!
