[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z!

Krillin paid a visit to the Eldest Namek,

where he received a Dragon Ball,

and another unexpected reward!

[KRILLIN cackles]

Power! A lot of power!

[NARRATOR] With his hidden potential released,

Krillin raced off with his prize. Meanwhile...

Now, go find Vegeta. I want that Dragon Ball!

[NARRATOR] Frieza sent his henchman Zarbon

to search for Vegeta,

in order to discover the location of the Dragon Ball

that the Saiyan had hidden...

Well. So you are still alive, after all...

I guess that's lucky for me. Not so lucky for you.

[NARRATOR] Krillin has one Dragon Ball!

Can Gohan find the last one before Vegeta is forced

to reveal its whereabouts to Frieza?

If not, the race for the Dragon Balls may be decided

before Goku even arrives! Stay tuned!

[GOKU grunting]

[GOKU panting]

[grunting continues]

I hope Yamcha and the others

are at least making better progress at King Kai's.

[GOKU panting]

[thinking] I wonder if they've caught Bubbles yet? Heh.

I can only imagine the time they must be having.

Oh well. No time to daydream!

[GOKU grunting]

[BUBBLES chattering]

[YAMCHA shouting]

[chattering continues]

[YAMCHA growling]

I'll get you!

[chattering continues]

You think you're pretty smart!

[YAMCHA shouting]

[BUBBLES giggling]

Thought he had 'im.

I know...

[YAMCHA] Ugh! Damn... monkey...

[KING KAI humming]

[KING KAI] Don't blame the monkey!

[TIEN] My turn!

[BUBBLES chattering]

Huh?

All right.

[CHIAOTZU] C'mon! Get him, Tien!

[KING KAI] No need to hurry, boys. Take your time.

What's up?

I've already proven I'm above these foolish games.

So what do you say we just cut to the chase?

[KING KAI] Nope. Sorry.

You'll have to go through the proper procedure

like everyone else.

Aahhh...

No one's forcing you to sit out, Piccolo.

You're free to join the others at any time.

But if you'd rather not do that...

You're more than welcome to give me a hand

weeding the garden, if you'd like.

[PICCOLO growls]

I'm curious, why are you in such a rush?

You made a promise that you wouldn't fight Frieza.

You're not thinking of breaking it?

No, no, of course you're not.

Because that would mean you're a liar...

And I think we both know,

the only thing worse than a liar is a no-good thief!

I make it a rule never to train either one!

Not that you'd have to worry about that, right?

Ah, forget I mentioned it.

Uh? So you don't want to help with the garden?

Hmmm...

Huh?

[BUBBLES chattering, YAMCHA panting]

[TIEN panting]

[KING KAI] Heeey! It's time to eat!

[ALL gasp]

Hmm...?

They're eating more than Goku did!

You could lose a hand in there.

Wait! Slow down!

Try to save a little bit for me, you guys!

It's really great, King Kai.

Oh! Glad to hear it!

I try to prepare a healthy menu

for all my trainees while they're here.

There's fried rice, fried fish,

fried chicken, fried sausages, fried pork,

refried beans, fried cheese, and milkshakes for desert.

Huh? Hey! Where'd it all go?!

[ALL] Ah... Couldn't eat another bite!

Well, then, I see in our next lesson

we should definitely discuss moderation.

[YAMCHA] Now that I'm full, you're in big trouble, ape-face.

[KING KAI] Hey! Don't call me ape-face!

I'm not talking about you, King Kai. It's him I want.

[BUBBLES chatters]

You won't feel like dancing when I'm through with you.

[chattering continues]

[YAMCHA] Monkey!

[YAMCHA shouting, BUBBLES chattering]

[YAMCHA] Gotcha!

[BOTH] Yeah, Yamcha!!

[YAMCHA] Yeah! I did it! I caught the monkey!

Oh, yeah!

Piccolo... Are you sure you don't want something to eat?

[PICCOLO growls]

[PICCOLO] I'm fine.

[BUBBLES chattering]

[BUBBLES screams]

[screaming]

[TIEN] Hrgh!

[BUBBLES gibbering excitedly]

Did it!

All right! Way to go, Tien!

[CHIAOTZU] Yay! Ha, ha, ha!

They're doing great work.

They just keep on getting faster and faster.

Pretty impressive, no?

[PICCOLO] I came here to get stronger...

To do that, I have to train with someone

who's stronger than I am. And they're not.

[KING KAI groans]

[CHIAOTZU] I got him! I got him!

[BUBBLES whooping, CHIATOZU laughing]

Oh. Well, now.

Even Chiaotzu's gotten fast enough to catch Bubbles.

Good, good!

[KING KAI laughs]

Then you're ready for step number two!

Oh, Gregory!

Ta-da! Hi there everybody! The name's Gregory!

This will be your next challenge.

All you have to do is take this hammer,

give me a good tap, and then you win!

And don't go easy on me!

Because, I'm sure not gonna go easy on you!

Heh, heh! So who's first?

[YAMCHA chuckles]

How 'bout I give it a try!

Here.

[YAMCHA chuckles]

[yells]

What?! It's like... an anvil!

Excuses, excuses.

[YAMCHA grunting]

Yeah? Bring it on!

[GREGORY] See ya!

Ha! Too slow, sucker!

Argh! Why you--!

Yamcha! Hang tough!

Let's go! Let's go!

[KING KAI chuckling]

Hey, Piccolo! Why don't you give it a try?

[PICCOLO] Because I have better things to do with my time

than take swings at a cricket. I'll train myself.

Very well...

[YAMCHA] All right! Ready or not, here I come!

[ALL shouting]

[CHIAOTZU] Come on! Get him!

Here! Let me give it a try!

[CHIAOTZU yelling, GREGORY laughing]

What's the matter? Gonna give up already, guys?

[YAMCHA growls]

No way!

Heeey! Why don't we take a little break?

[ALL] Huh?

Piccolo's already over there taking a nap under the tree.

You guys might as well too.

Hey, we're not like Piccolo.

We came here to work! Let's get going!

Okay, big shot!

[KING KAI] Well, I could sure use a nap too.

[thinking] He knows what we're up against here...

This Frieza is somehow even stronger than Vegeta,

and all he's doing is wasting our time!

How is he?

[APOOL] He's holding steady.

I've managed to stabilize his vital signs for now,

but he's still in critical condition.

He may never regain consciousness.

He's got to make it! You revive him at all costs!

Do you understand?!

Yes, sir...

[thinking] If he doesn't recover,

Frieza will have my head...

[FRIEZA] I want that Dragon Ball...

[KING KAI snoring]

[BUBBLES quietly snoring, KING KAI snoring]

[GREGORY panting]

[CHIAOTZU humming]

[CHIAOTZU laughs]

Oh yeah! Chiaotzu! Home run!

C'mon! Keep your eye on the cricket!

Right!

Here we go, it's two outs, bottom of the ninth--

Hey, all right! Full count.

We've got runners on the corners

and we're down by two... This for the win!

[GREGORY] I'll teach you to give me some respect!

Just see if you can keep up with me!

[CHIAOTZU] Okay.

All right, then. Here I come, Doll-boy.

See if you can even swing the bat!

Ready when you are!

You asked for it. Here comes the heat!

[GREGORY giggling]

[GREGORY screaming]

[YAMCHA] It's goooone!

[BUBBLES whooping excitedly]

Ah! We're under attack! Abandon ship! Batten down the hatches!

He knocked it out of the park. A grand-slam home run!

Huh? Gregory? What are you doing in here?

It's not his fault. Chiaotzu knocked him a good one.

We all did!

Really? All of you? Is this true, Gregory?

No... They didn't catch me.

They can't prove a thing! They're lying!

Goodness! Well that was really fast.

It only took you about an hour and five minutes.

[YAMCHA] That's right. And we're ready for the next lesson.

[KING KAI] Now, I hope you guys know

what you're getting yourselves into!

For the next exercise, we'll start with some basics

in the ancient art of grappling!

You ready for some one-on-one, Tien?

You got it!

Yeah!

[KING KAI] Hold on, now! Not so fast there!

Ah- ahh! I'm in charge of picking the opponents.

[PICCOLO] Count me in.

[KING KAI] Oh, so you've finally decided to join us.

Well, how 'bout Piccolo against--

[PICCOLO] Against them all.

[BOTH] What?!

You three weaklings had to struggle

just to catch a monkey and a grasshopper.

I could take on 10 of you,

and it still wouldn't be a challenge.

Oh yeah? We'll see about that!

Wait, now. I'm not so sure about this...

The odds do seem unfairly stacked.

[PICCOLO] Heh.

[KING KAI] But, if this is what you boys want to do...

Heh! We'll handle him.

I certainly hope so.

You three have done such excellent work

in your training exercises so far.

It's time to see whether or not it's paid--

[PICCOLO] Enough talk!

I'm ready. Let's see what you've got.

[BOTH growling]

Come on! Attack me!

Ready?

[BOTH] Hmph.

[CHIAOTZU] Uh-huh.

Ready?! And go!

[shouting, grunting]

[PICCOLO] Hrr... Raah!

Oh yeah?!

Nice try!

[CHIAOTZU laughing]

[growling]

[PICCOLO yells]

[GREGORY] If you had a headache like mine,

you wouldn't be laughing. Ooouch!

[PICCOLO growling]

[TIEN & YAMCHA shouting]

[PICCOLO yells]

Now... you're mine!

[PICCOLO growls]

[CHIAOTZU screams]

[PICCOLO roars]

No!

Chiaotzu! Chiaotzu!

Hey, don't worry.

You're forgetting... You're already dead.

You can't die a second time, you know.

You give him a minute or two and he'll shake it off.

Just you wait.

R-Really?

Three... Two... One... See?

[CHIAOTZU grunting]

Viola!

[YAMCHA chuckles]

[PICCOLO thinking] I can't believe how much stronger

they've already become.

It can't be because of this stupid training

they've been doing...

[KING KAI] Resume the match!

[PICCOLO thinking] ...or can it?

[grunting, shouting]

[YAMCHA] Raaah!

[TIEN] Hrrgh!

[blows landing]

[PICCOLO yelling]

[TIEN] Hyaaah!

[PICCOLO] Uggh!

[YAMCHA] Gotcha!

[PICCOLO] Arrgh!

[YAMCHA] So... How's that for you?

Yeah, have you had enough yet, Piccolo?

[PICCOLO] Hmph.

I haven't even gotten started.

[ALL] Hah!

[KING KAI] Nope, sorry guys.

That's enough for now.

I've decided we should all take a break for lunch.

[ALL] Huh?

[KING KAI] Hmm... Stop!

[ALL] Hm?

What's the only kind of dog in the world that doesn't bark?

I'll tell you... A hot dog!

[KING KAI laughs]

[ALL] Oh yeah...

[ALL laughing]

[PICCOLO] Pathetic...

[APOOL] Frieza's not going to be happy.

At this rate, he'll never recover!

I don't know... But it looks to me

like the high and mighty Prince Vegeta

really isn't so mighty after all, now is he?

[APOOL laughs]

[APOOL] Well, I hope you do pull out of it.

'Cause I'm gonna really enjoy watching Zarbon

torture you to death!

That oughta' keep you for a while.

Tell you what, I'm gonna go take a little break.

Just promise you'll sit tight 'til I get back.

I wouldn't want you to wander off and get hurt.

[APOOL chuckles]

Huh?!

[APOOL screaming]

So, then. How is he?

[ZARBON] He... He should regain consciousness any time, now.

Good, then I won't have to kill you.

Yes, lord...

[distant explosion]

What? What in the blazes was that?!

Find out!

[VEGETA chuckling]

They just keep underestimating the true powers of a Saiyan.

Huh?

[ZARBON panting]

[distant explosion]

Damn! It came from the recovery room!

Well, don't just stand there!

[ZARBON gasps]

[ZARBON] He's gone! He must've flown off!

[FRIEZA] So go after him!

[VEGETA thinking] Excellent. Everyone's here...

Go now! Do you hear me, Zarbon?

I'll... I'll find him!

[FRIEZA] You'd better!

Because if you don't find him within the hour,

you'll wish you'd never been born!

[VEGETA laughing]

[thinking] They're almost making this too easy...

[VEGETA laughing]

[thinking] Oh, Frieza. You're so overconfident

in your abilities that you've left even

your precious Dragon Balls unguarded.

Well, I assure you, it will be your last mistake.

[VEGETA chuckles]

You lose, Frieza!

[NARRATOR] Vegeta is back from the brink of death,

and five of the magic Dragon Balls are now within his grasp!

Can anything stop him from fulfilling his sinister wish?

Find out, next Dragon Ball Z!
