[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z!

Evil descended from the skies,

as the Ginyu Force made their explosive landing

on Planet Namek!

With no time to spare, Krillin, Vegeta, and Gohan

raced to gather the seven Dragon Balls

in order to combat these deadly foes.

[KRILLIN] Sorry... No time to explain, Bulma!

I need the Dragon Ball!

[VEGETA] Quickly, now! Follow me to the others!

Hey, hang on a second! Come back!

What's going on?!

You could at least fill me in!

Come back here! Youuu!!

Why those...

What the...?

What was Krillin doing with Vegeta?

[NARRATOR] As startling as it seemed,

allowing Vegeta to wish for immortality

was our heroes' only hope for surviving the onslaught

of Frieza's unstoppable henchmen!

I'm Recoome!

Burter!

I'm Jeice!

Guldo!

Captain Ginyu!

Now! You! See! The! Power!

Of the Ginyu Force!

[FRIEZA] At ease, men. I have an important errand for you.

Thank you, Lord Frieza. Glad to be of service.

So let's get down to business.

What is our mission?

[FRIEZA] It's quite simple, Captain Ginyu.

Your mission is to recover my Dragon Balls

and bring me Vegeta!

Vegeta...?

Ha, ha! Stupid Saiyan.

I always said he was too cocky for his own good!

Looks like that ego of his finally got him into trouble.

So, you've finally shown your true colors, Vegeta...

You can expect resistance.

Vegeta's strength has grown considerably

since last you saw him.

Woah!

Huh...?

[FRIEZA] Now, you know what to do. Get those Dragon Balls,

and bring me the Saiyan!

Oh, and before you go getting carried away: I want him alive.

Consider it done, Lord Frieza.

Vegeta doesn't appear to be making

any efforts to conceal himself.

He should be an easy catch.

You'll have him kneeling at your feet within the hour.

Hmm...?

[FRIEZA] What is it, Ginyu?

[GINYU] Who are these other two he has with him?

Both of them seem to have

fairly significant power levels as well.

Others? Ah, that's right.

It's probably those two meddlesome pests

we encountered earlier.

Vegeta must have formed a little gang!

And what of them?

I suppose you can kill them.

Yeah!

Right!

As you wish. It will be our pleasure, Lord Frieza!

[ALL chuckling]

[GULDO] Hmm...

[GULDO] Hey!

Watch it, Vegeta...

You'd better start remembering your place,

you arrogant Saiyan monkey.

You're nothing compared to us!

We make the rules around here, and you follow!

The only reason you're even still breathing

is because Lord Frieza has taken a liking to you.

[VEGETA] Hmph!

[GULDO gasps]

[VEGETA chuckles]

Who do you think you are?

The last I checked, you took orders from Frieza

the same as I do.

Just because Frieza's put you on the Ginyu Force,

it doesn't change a thing.

You'll always be a sniveling four-eyed freak.

What?! Why you insolent little--!

[VEGETA] Now, if I was calling the shots instead of Frieza,

you'd be licking my boots.

Urgh... Now you've pushed me too far!

[GULDO growls]

Raah--!

[FRIEZA] That's enough fun and games for one day, Vegeta.

Playtime is over.

[FRIEZA] I have a job for you...

There's a nice little planet

I've had my eye on for some time.

Why don't you join me, and we'll conquer it together?

As you command, Frieza.

Get used to that spot, Guldo. I'll see you there again.

[VEGETA laughs]

[GULDO growling]

Damn you, Vegeta!

Yo, what's wrong?

You got something in one of your eyes there?

Snap out of it!

I see revenge.

Here you go, Lord Frieza, the scouter you asked for.

The newest model.

Ah, good work.

[GINYU] Ginyu Force!

[GINYU] Let's get busy.

[ALL] Hut! Hut! Hut! Hut! Hut! Hut!

[BURTUR & RECOOME] Haa! Haa!

[GULDO & JEICE] Haa! Haa!

[ALL] Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

[ALL] Ginyu Force! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

[ALL screaming]

[ALL growling]

[ALL] Gooo!

[thinking] The Ginyu Force!

They're coming! We have to go faster!

[KRILLIN growls]

[thinking] Vegeta's right!

And it feels like they're gaining on us!

Oh, Dad, where are you? We need you!

[COMPUTER] Attention. Destination alert.

Now on final approach to Planet Namek.

ETA, 20 minutes.

[alarm ringing]

[muffled rining, GOKU grunting]

[GOKU yawns]

[GOKU yawns]

[GOKU yawns]

Huh...?

Wait a sec...

[GOKU] Hope I've got a change of clothes...

Huh...?

[GOKU chuckles]

[GOKU] Well, I guess Dr. Brief

really thought of everything, huh?

[GOKU] There's a lot of trouble waiting for me down there...

Hang on, guys... I'm coming.

Ten minutes left.

Strange, but, I don't feel the least bit scared.

Maybe it's the calm before the storm.

I've just got to try to keep myself focused.

Gotta stay alert...

because there's no more time for training.

It's time to get out there and help my friends!

[VEGETA] Ah! It's down there!

[VEGETA laughs]

[VEGETA] Come on!

Here th--!

Huh?

What are you waiting for?!

[BOTH whimpering]

What is it?!

Y'know, suddenly this doesn't seem like such a good idea.

We might be better off taking our chances

than letting him have his wish!

This isn't a game! Give me that ball!

I'm losing my patience!

You ignorant fool! You'll kill us all!

[KRILLIN gasps]

Raah--

Huh?!

[BOTH gasp]

[GINYU] Hello, Vegeta.

[JEICE] Hi, mate!

[BURTER] It's been a long time!

[ALL laugh]

Dammit! Not now! I was so close!

[ALL laughing]

[KRILLIN whimpers]

Aw, man! How'd they get here so fast?

I thought we'd have more time!

[laughter continues]

[GOHAN whimpering]

We've come to collect you and the Dragon Balls, Vegeta.

Hey, Cap'n...

Looks like we got the other five balls right here.

[GINYU chuckles]

[ALL laughing]

[ALL laughing]

If you only would have listened to me!

How was I supposed to know?

[GOHAN whimpering]

[GINYU] This is going to be even easier than I expected...

I should thank you, Vegeta,

for having all seven Dragon Balls

packaged up so neatly for us.

But you'll understand if I don't.

[thinking] Rrgh! Vegeta was right!

There's no way we can beat all five of these guys!

Their power levels... They're terrifying!

Especially that one... The leader...

Don't get too cocky, Ginyu!

You haven't beaten me, yet!

[GULDO chuckles]

Oh, you think you're pretty tough don't ya?

Well, this time you won't have Frieza

to save your scrawny carcass!

Oh, I've waited for this!

Really?!

Yeah, that's right! Come on!

Huh?

[thinking] This little guy has lots of eyes, but no brains!

He's the one guy in the group

Vegeta could beat with both arms tied behind his back!

[GULDO chuckles]

Guldo... You're still a freak.

[GULDO growls]

Raah!

Now, hold up there, Guldo...

Frieza wants him back alive, remember?

[GINYU] Vegeta, don't be silly.

You'll save us all a lot of trouble

if you hand over the Dragon Ball... Come on, now.

[VEGETA] Heh!

Yeah, right!

And next you'll ask me to surrender

so you can take me back to Frieza!

Is that the plan?

Something like that...

[VEGETA] Rrgh! Go to hell!

Uh... Huh...?

[BURTER] Nice try!

[JEICE] You're so quick, mate.

Ahh...!

[ALL laughing]

[BOTH gasp]

Yes, a valiant effort, Vegeta...

But, as you can see, my friend Burter here

just loves a good game of catch!

[BURTER] Mm-hmm!

H-how... How'd he do that?!

And now, the other one please.

Destroy it!

[KRILLIN yells]

Wuh--! Eh?! Huh?!

Hey, where'd it go?

[GULDO sighs]

What happened?

[VEGETA growls]

So, then it's true what they say...

Well, you gonna tell us what they say?

I never believed it,

but Guldo has the ability to freeze an instant in time.

[GULDO chuckling]

No way! Impossible!

Yeah, just keep thinking that!

[GULDO chuckles]

All right, we have what we came for.

Now to deal with these three.

Make sure you treat them nicely, boys.

Yeah, an' when he says treat 'em nice,

that don't mean we're gonna buy you flowers

or nothin' like that...

No, it means we're gonna kill you!

Oh, would you please shut-up!

[JEICE] Right, right. Sorry 'bout that.

[KRILLIN] Come on! We can still make a run for it...

It's no use. We can't run from this.

We have no choice but to stand and fight.

[VEGETA] If we combine our powers,

we might hold out long enough to discover

some weakness we can exploit.

I'll handle Vegeta.

The rest of you can do that "rock-paper-scissors" thing

to decide who gets the other two.

[ALL whining]

[VEGETA growling]

[GOHAN whimpering]

Come on, Captain! Let me have Vegeta! I owe him one!

All right, fine. You win.

Have Vegeta. But you'd better make sure

he's still breathing when you

bring him back to Frieza. Are we clear?

[ALL cheering]

[GINYU] And who are we?!

[ALL] We are the Ginyu Force!

And don't forget it, or you will regret it!

[JEICE] Yeah, mate! You are so in trouble now!

Okay, who gets who?

[BOTH whimper]

You ready, boys?

[VEGETA growls]

[GINYU FORCE] Rock, paper, scissors!

Are you sure we shouldn't be trying to get away?

[GINYU FORCE] Rock, paper, scissors!

Ha-haaa! Yes! I get Vegeta!

You always win!

Now, don't be a sore loser. Fair is fair.

[RECOOME] Awwh, tell you what...

I'll let you have a few hits if you want, Guldo.

[GULDO giggles]

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have to take these Dragon Balls to Lord Frieza.

[GINYU laughing]

Take this, you big bully!

Stop! He's gone! Save your energy!

Concentrate on the four who are still here.

If we can defeat them, we'll catch up to him later.

[GOHAN growls]

You... Come over here.

I think they're making some kinda plan!

It looks like you two will be fighting Guldo.

You'll have to use your heads.

A direct assault won't work. Do you understand?

Yeah.

Didn't you say earlier that Kakarot

was supposed to be coming here to save everybody?

Don't know about you,

but he's coming to save Gohan and me.

I'm not trying to win a popularity contest here!

All I'm saying is we could use his help right now!

[thinking] I can't let Piccolo down!

We've got to get the Dragon Balls back!

Frieza can't be allowed to make his wish! He just can't!

[GULDO & RECOOME chuckling]

[ALL growling]

Hey there, Guldo,

why don't you ahead and take your turn first?

Yeah, now that you mention it,

I suppose that is the best thing to do.

After all, we gotta get the trash outta the way

so we have plenty of room to crush Vegeta!

All right. It's time to see what you're made of.

Gohan... Just remember the power you have within!

Awww... I was hoping they'd be begging for mercy.

Ready, Gohan?

Hm.

[KRILLIN] Then let's turn up the heat!

Huh?!

[BOTH shouting]

[RECOOME] Oh...

Wh-What in the--?!

[NARRATOR] The battle against the Ginyu Force has begun!

And as Gohan and Krillin launch the first powerful volley,

it appears they've caught their opponent off-guard!

But Vegeta knows victory will not come so easily...

Our heroes will have to use every ounce

of their strength and courage

if they hope to win this fight...

On the next Dragon Ball Z!
