[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z!

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

[NARRATOR] Having successfully acquired the fifth Dragon Ball,

Frieza ordered Dodoria to eliminate the remaining Nameks.

[NARRATOR] It was a task the ruthless henchman

was only too happy to carry out.

[DODORIA] Play dead!

[GOHAN] Aaahh! Stop it!

[NARRATOR] Not willing to sit idly by,

Gohan and Krillin charged to the rescue...

but our heroes soon found themselves

in a race for their lives!

Fortunately for them, the chase was cut short,

as Dodoria had some deep troubles of his own!

Having watched and waited for the perfect moment to strike,

Vegeta made his move!

And the Saiyan prince gave Dodoria a lesson

in ruthlessness he would not forget.

[VEGETA laughs]

[VEGETA] It's the true might of a Saiyan warrior!

[DODORIA screams]

[DODORIA] Lord Frieza!

[VEGETA yells]

[DODORIA screaming]

[NARRATOR] In yet another stunning display of strength,

Vegeta's power has soared to even greater heights!

It seems none can oppose him.

Meanwhile, even Goku, with all of his might,

stands little chance against this villain.

But in less than six days,

he will have no choice but to face him.

Untold dangers await... Today on Dragon Ball Z!

[VEGETA chuckles]

So long, Dodoria.

After all his boasting,

in the end he was nothing more than a sniveling coward.

[chuckles]

But still, I didn't think I would defeat him so easily.

My powers have grown to exceed even my own expectations.

Too bad Kakarot and his friends

can't be here to see them. Or can they?

I get it...

Those two little brats I chased out here were Earthlings!

[VEGETA] Hmm, I do sense a faint power level.

No, two of them. Flying away.

But it couldn't be anyone from Earth, could it?

I'd better go and check it out.

Because if I'm wrong, and they are here,

I'd hate to miss a chance to settle the score!

Hey, Krillin! I recognize this place!

I think we're getting close to the cave!

Good. 'Cause I was starting to think

we were getting lost out here.

Great! Someone's comin'! We gotta hide, guys. Fast!

Down there and hurry!

Got it!

I don't know.

It doesn't seem like we've got a lot of cover here.

Well, it's better than being up in the air.

Just keep your power low, and hope we're lucky!

You're worried it's that monster again, aren'tcha?

Me too. But I don't think

he'll be able to find us here, you guys.

Hmm... It's like both of those powers just disappeared.

But they were just here, I'm sure of it!

[GOHAN screams]

Oh no, Krillin. Look! Up there!

[KRILLIN whimpering]

[thinking] Oh, great! This is just what we need!

It's Vegeta! I don't know how, but he's found us!

[VEGETA] Hmm...?

[ALL whimpering]

[thinking] But I don't get it! Why would he be looking for us?

And how could he even know that we're on this planet?!

[whimpering continues]

[GOHAN] It looks like he's leaving.

Yeah, good. And he wasn't wearing his scouter.

He must be searching for something else.

I'm guessing he doesn't know that we're here, Gohan.

Unless Vegeta's learned how to sense power levels!

If he has, we're screwed!

Even if we push our power down to zero,

he could still sense him!

[VEGETA] Bah. There's no one here. Maybe there never was.

Perhaps it was a mistake to destroy the scouter

before I'd fully tested my ability!

Hm... But then again, maybe not.

It's very faint.

But there's definitely something

coming from down there!

[GOHAN] He's coming this way!

[GOHAN screams]

[ALL whimpering]

It's behind that rock.

Gohan. It's no good. He's got us.

We can at least lead him away from the kid.

Let's go!

Huh?!

Now, Gohan!

[VEGETA] Ah!

[KRILLIN & GOHAN scream]

[WHALE moaning]

Damn! Just a fish.

Oh, forget it. I've wasted enough time chasing shadows.

There are still two more Dragon Balls out there,

waiting to be found.

If I can just get to one before Frieza and hide it,

it'll be enough to stop him from completing his collection.

Then, it's simply a matter of biding my time,

waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.

It shouldn't take long. Without their scouters,

I could be breathing right down their necks

and they wouldn't even know it!

[VEGETA laughing]

[GOHAN sighs]

Too close!

Oh, man. I just knew we were goners.

I mean if that whale hadn't shown up when it did...

Well, I don't even wanna think about it.

Anyway, I don't know about you,

but I for one don't plan to wait around

to see if he comes back. Let's keep moving.

[GOHAN] Right.

[KRILLIN] That cave is sounding cozier by the minute.

I am beat!

[GOHAN giggles]

[GOHAN laughs]

[KRILLIN] Hey, Gohan.

Y'know, I'm sorry I got you into this.

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to come here.

I mean, I wanna wish all our friends back to life,

but If we try to compete with Vegeta,

we're just gonna get ourselves killed.

So, you think we should give up?

[GOHAN] Hey! Look! There's the cave! We're safe!

[KRILLIN] Yeah. Good eye, buddy.

[GOHAN] Bulma!

Bulma?

[GOHAN] I don't see her anywhere.

Maybe she's way in the back or something.

I'll go check it out.

Bulma! Hey!

Bulma! Come out, come out wherever you are! Hello!

[GOHAN] A Capsule house?

Well, it's about time you two came back!

What took you so long, anyway?

I thought I was gonna die of boredom!

[GOHAN and KRILLIN chuckling sheepishly]

Must've been rough...

Hmm?

Hey, what's the deal with the miniature Piccolo?

He's Namekian, right?

You sure it's a good idea to bring him here?

Sure. We saved him.

What happened out there?

How 'bout we go inside first?

Then we'll tell you the whole story.

Ah! Oh yeah!

I have a lot to tell you, too!

I just talked to my dad a while ago--

Oh, and guess what! He said Goku is on his way here!

To Namek!

And brace yourselves... He'll be here in six days!

That's right! He's using a replica of the Saiyan ship

he came to Earth in as a baby!

My dad worked all day and night to fix it up for him!

And he's still training, too!

So he'll be ready to take on the bad guys!

Whadda ya' think?

[GOHAN and KRILLIN giggling]

My dad's coming here?

[GOHAN and KRILLIN laughing]

[ALL] Yeah!

[stuttering]

I don't believe it!

Goku! This means we still have a fighting chance!

[GOKU grunting]

Gotta... Keep on... Pushing the... limit!

[grunting continues]

[GOKU grunting]

[grunting continues]

[GOKU grunting]

[grunting continues]

[alarm beeping]

Hm? What? That's weird. Has it been an hour already?

[beeping continues]

Come on!

[beeping continues]

How do you turn this stupid thing off?

[beeping continues]

What the...

[beeping continues]

[DR. BRIEF] Hello! Goku! Can you hear me?

Oh, It's you guys.

Did something happen back on Earth?

No, everything's just fine here. It's your ship!

Looks like you've sustained a bit of damage to the hull.

[GOKU gasps]

[OOLONG] Hey there!

Probably just collided with a small asteroid.

[GOKU] So, that's a bad thing, right?

Well, it's hard to say...

But if we don't get that hull patched up, it will be!

[GOKU] So now what are we supposed to do?!

You'll just have to go outside and fix it.

Who, me?!

[DR. BRIEF] Sure! Don't worry.

I had a custom fit space suit prepared for you

in case of emergency.

And there's a repair box

stowed under the front control panel,

complete with special space glue.

'Kay, so I'm in space...

[GOKU yells]

[GOKU screaming]

[DR. BRIEF] Relax, Goku. Remember you're tethered

to the ship. Just pull yourself in.

[thinking] Oh, right. So that's what this thing's for.

Just gotta... pull myself... in...

[GOKU screams]

Okay, this is bad!

[GOKU grunting]

[GOKU panting heavily]

Phew!

I gotta be more careful...

[DR. BRIEF] Don't be afraid to walk, Goku.

I installed magnets on the feet of your spacesuit.

You did?

Wow! How 'bout that!

This'll sure make things easier.

Hey, there it is.

[GOKU] Okay.

Let's see... Just a little bit of space glue

and she'll be good as new.

[DR. BRIEFS] Hm... Looks like the impact

knocked the ship a bit off course.

But as soon as I calculate the new trajectory here...

[ALL gasp]

Oh no...

[GOKU] There. That oughta' do it.

All better now. Not a thing to worry about.

[DR. BRIEF] Goku! You've got to get back inside the ship!

Something terrible has happened!

The collision with the asteroid

knocked your ship out of the flight path I programmed,

and it's sent you on a new trajectory

directly for Alpha HZ.

It's a star bigger than our sun.

You'll be incinerated if you don't

get inside and re-plot your course!

You have to hurry!

But, I don't know how to reprogram the ship!

What the heck do I do?!

It's not difficult.

And I'll be here to talk you through every step.

But only if you get to the computer in time.

Right. I'm on my way.

[GOKU gasps]

Oh, come on! This is definitely not good.

[GOKU grunting]

[GOKU wailing]

This is crazy! I just gotta think.

[GOKU gasps]

[GOKU whimpering]

[DR. BRIEF] Goku! This is no time to be standing around.

Yeah, I realize that, but, uh...

You see, I uh... sorta glued myself to the ship.

You did what?!

Now what do I do?!

You guys got any ideas?!

Goku!

Get outta there!

[GOKU grunting]

I don't mind a tan, but this is ridiculous!

Sorry, but I'm not ready to cash in just yet.

Kaa... Meeee...

Haa... Meeeee...

Haaa!

[GOKU] Phew! Wow!

Training under that heavy gravity's really paying off!

Yay! Goku! You did it!

[GOKU laughs]

Hmm?!

[GOKU squeals]

It's pulling him back!

Oh, Goku...

[GOKU grunting]

'Kay... I'll try again. But this time full power!

Kaaaa... Meeee...

Haaaaa... Meeee...

Haaaaaaaaaa!

[OOLONG] Ha-haa!

[PUAR] He made it! Yay! I knew he could do it!

[DR. BRIEF] Mm-hmm!

It looks like I'm finally safe.

Now if I can just figure out how to get unstuck,

I'll be set!

[VEGETA chuckles]

[VEGETA laughing]

I love it.

I should have learned how to sense power levels

a long time ago!

There's a whole group of them dead ahead.

A Namek village.

Just the sort of place I'd expect to find a Dragon Ball!

[VEGETA laughing]

Frieza will have to search

every inch of this stinking planet!

But with my newfound ability,

I'll always be one step ahead of him!

[VEGETA laughing]

[VEGETA] Just as I suspected...

Frieza hasn't been here yet.

There's not a single corpse to be seen!

Well, we'll see what I can do about that.

Huh...?

Uh?

[NAMEK 1] It's an invader!

[NAMEK 2] What does he want?!

Which one of you is the Elder?

I'm here for the Dragon Ball. If you have it, get it.

How rude!

I am the Elder...

Now I must ask,

what use do you have for the Dragon Ball?

That's my business, old man. Where is it?

I'm sorry, but I cannot give you what you are seeking.

Only those who are worthy may claim the Dragon Ball.

Wrong answer...

[ALL gasp]

Bang.

[NAMEK 3] Elder!

[NAMEKS gasping]

[VEGETA chuckles]

[NARRATOR] After the day's harrowing adventures,

Goku has resumed his intensive training regimen.

But he still has a long way to go...

He'll have to train at more than twenty-times gravity

before he's ready to face Vegeta!

Tune in next time, as our heroes quest

for the Namekian Dragon Balls continues...

On the next action-packed episode of Dragon Ball Z!
