[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z!

Time ran out for our heroes,

as Frieza's diabolical Ginyu Force

descended from the skies!

Even the mighty Vegeta could only watch helplessly,

as his hopes for using the seven magic Dragon Balls

to make a wish vanished into thin air!

[GOHAN & KRILLIN whimper]

Now then, if you'll excuse me,

I have to deliver these Dragon Balls to Lord Frieza.

[ALL] We are the Ginyu Force!

[ALL laugh]

[NARRATOR] Captain Ginyu made a hasty departure with his prize,

but he left behind his four lieutenants,

with orders to eradicate Gohan, Krillin, and Vegeta...

Now, these unlikely allies must stand together

if they hope to survive the battle ahead...

Say there... Why don't you go ahead

and take your turn first, Guldo.

Yeah, why don't I?

[NARRATOR] Gohan and Krillin fight for their lives... today!

Whoa! Yeah, just look at 'em go! Ha!

Lotta good that's gonna do.

Now!

Right!

[BOTH] Haaa!

Buh! 'Kay...

[GULDO screams]

Time Freeze!

[thinking] Ha! Suckers.

[thinking] What?! They're gone!

Why, those little... Try to sneak up on me, will ya'?

Well, it's not gonna work!

[thinking] Hey! They're some quick little buggers,

aren't they? Oh well... Now I got 'em...

[thinking] Uh-oh... There's just one problem!

I... can't... hold my... breath... any longer!

[GOHAN yells]

[GULDO panting]

Have to admit I'm impressed...

Guess those two are tougher than we thought!

Oohh...

Now isn't that something...

Looks like our little friends have the ability

to increase their power without changing their shape!

[JEICE] Hey, Vegeta! You got some real choice mates there!

Incredible...

Their speed and power have increased exponentially

since I fought them on Earth.

That was amazing, Gohan!

If I hadn't seen it, I'd never believed you had it in you!

Yeah, that makes two of us!

But thanks to Guru, I've never felt stronger!

But look! How'd he get way over there already?

I dunno. Maybe he stopped time again... Be careful!

[GOHAN] Right!

[GULDO] Yah! Not again!

Uh? Huh?! Ah-ah-ah!

Time Freeze!

[GULDO squeals]

[thinking] Wait a second! Why am I running away?

They're the ones who are supposed to be scared of me!

Heh! Prepare to die, small fry!

[GULDO growling]

[coughs]

[BOTH gasp]

Ugh... Oh, crud!

There he is!

Ka-me-ha-me-HAAA!

[GULDO screams]

[GOHAN growling]

Haaa!

[GULDO screams]

[coughing, gruntiing]

I guess old four-eyes didn't see that one comin'!

If I were a betting man, I'd say Guldo's gonna lose.

Oh, obvious.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Burter.

Guldo'll kill 'em in under a minute!

One chocolate nut bar says he does!

Ha! You're on!

[GULDO panting]

Knew I should have joined that Ginyu Fitness Club last year,

but no, I had to go on that stupid chiliburger diet!

[BULMA] Come on...

Come in, Master Roshi, this is Bulma!

I need your help!

Krillin and Gohan have run off and left me again!

And they've taken our Dragon Ball with them!

What's worse: They're with Vegeta!

[ROSHI] What? Vegeta? My, that does sound serious.

But I'm sure they have their reasons. You just sit tight.

They'll be back before you know it.

[BULMA] I'm tired of sitting tight! I can't take it anymore!

I just wanna get off this stupid planet!

Ah, well, I certainly do feel your pain...

But there's really not much you can do

with your spaceship blown to pieces, now is there?

I wish there was something I could say to help...

Oh, wait! Hasn't it been six days since Goku left?

He should be getting there any minute now!

He'll get'cha home!

[BULMA] What?! The signal's breaking up!

Hello? Ugh... Mmm... Agh!

Master Roshi?! Ooohh! Darn it!

This stupid satellite phone!

I hate using outdated technology!

[thinking] Goku, please hurry. We need you!

[GULDO panting]

Hey, Gohan! Looks like all this time-stopping's

starting to wear him down.

Now, let's end this before he gets his strength back!

Gotcha!

[KRILLIN] Okay, ready? On my mark... NOW!

[GULDO whimpers]

[GULDO] Time Freeze!

[GULDO giggles]

[GULDO grunting]

[thinking] Aw, hell! Of all the times to run outta energy!

Well, there's only one thing left to do...

[thinking] And that's to run for it!

[thinking] I gotta find me a place to hide!

[ thinking] There! I can hide behind that rock

'til I catch my breath!

[GULDO] Bwaah!

[KRILLIN] He did it again!

[KRILLIN] C'mon! We gotta find him!

[KRILLIN] You sense anything, Gohan?

Behind that ridge!

[GULDO screams]

[GULDO] Get away!

[GOHAN growls]

[GULDO] No! Wait! Wait a second!

[GULDO screams]

[GULDO gasps]

Yaah!

C'mon, Guldo, you're killin' me here!

I dunno, I'm kind of enjoying watching him

get his flabby tail whipped!

Hey, Guldo! Here's the deal:

If you can't beat those two little punks, and I mean quick,

then you're outta the Ginyu Force!

Yeah, and not to mention your spot on the bowling team!

[GULDO yelps]

But, you can't kick me off the force!

I was just warming up! That's all!

They're dead! I promise!

Ha! Now's our chance! Charge him, full power!

Right!

What do I do?

It's time to pull out all the stops!

[GULDO screams]

[KRILLIN grunting]

[GOHAN grunting]

Ahh!

[GOHAN & KRILLIN grunting]

[GOHAN] I... can't move!

[grunting continues]

[GULDO laughs]

How do you like that trick?

It's a little something I like to call my Mind-Bind!

[KRILLIN grunting]

[GOHAN grunting]

C'mon, Gohan! We can't just give up now!

[GOHAN grunting]

Go ahead, fight it! Struggle all you want! You're mine!

[GULDO laughs]

[grunting]

Looks like what we said really lit a fire under old Guldo.

He never uses his "mind bind".

Not unless he's gettin' desperate.

Yeah, it's a shame didn't use it sooner.

Sucks for you, Recoome... Pay up.

Too little, too late...

It's been more than a minute. You lose the bet.

Ugh. Yeah, yeah, whatever...

Here's your stupid chocolate bar.

[BURTER chuckles]

[BOTH grunting]

Dammit... Those ignorant fools.

I specifically warned them not to try a direct assault!

They flew right into Guldo's trap!

Ha! Get ready, boys!

I'm gonna finish you off nice and slow!

Raaa...

Haah!

[shouting continues]

[BOTH] Ah!

[KRILLIN grunting in pain]

[GOHAN grunting in pain]

Hey, Guldo! Just kill 'em!

Yeah, step on it!

C'mon, we don't have all day!

[GULDO laughs]

[grunting]

[GULDO chuckles]

[GULDO] Whee!

Little baby not so tough after all! Guchi guchi goo.

[GULDO laughing]

[GULDO] Come on!

[laughing continues]

What's wrong? You don't like me pulling on your cheeks?

So how 'bout I try pounding instead?!

[blows landing, GOHAN grunting]

[grunting continues]

Gohan!

[GULDO] Take that, and that! And one to grow on!

[GULDO chuckles]

Oh, hey there, Cueball. Don't think I've forgotten about you!

[GULDO chuckles]

[KRILLIN growls in pain]

[GULDO] Aww, does it hurt?

[blows landing, GULDO laughing]

[GULDO panting]

[RECOOME] That's enough goofin' around! Get on with it already!

[JEICE] Do I have to come up there and kill 'em for you?!

[BURTER] It's still not too late to kick you off the force!

Uh, uh, right! Huh, huh?

A-ha!

[GULDO chuckles]

Ah... This oughta do the trick!

[GULDO grunting]

[GULDO] Haah!

[GULDO laughs]

[BOTH gasp]

[GULDO laughs]

[GULDO] Shish-kabob, anyone?

[GULDO laughs]

Personally, I prefer mine well done!

[BOTH grunting]

But to each his own, boys. The grill is open!

[KRILLIN grunts]

[GOHAN grunts]

Uh-oh! Heh, heh, heh. Almost there! Time's running out, boys!

Last chance to save yourselves before I stick it to ya'!

[grunting]

No! I have to... break free!

I can't disappoint Piccolo!

[GOHAN grunting]

[PICCOLO] Hm!

[ALL grunting]

[thinking] Gohan's in trouble!

[thinking] So, Piccolo, you can also sense the trouble on Namek.

I know how badly you must want to help your friends,

but from here I'm afraid there's nothing

we can do for them!

[PICCOLO growling]

[growling continues]

[CHIAOTZU yells]

Oh?

[YAMCHA] Piccolo...?

Now that's what I'd call breaking wind!

Heh, heh, heh! Get it?

[KING KAI giggles]

[KING KAI] Ohhh...

[GULDO laughs]

Now, let's see here! Who dies first?

Bah. Sorry, baldy. That big shiny head of yours

just gave you away..

It's way too easy a target to pass up!

[KRILLIN whimpers]

[grunting]

Gohan, forget about me! Save yourself!

It's no use! I still can't move a muscle!

[GULDO laughs]

Ready or not... Time to die!

[GULDO laughs]

[GULDO] Huh?!

Krillin!

Gohan!

[GULDO coughs]

[BOTH gasp]

[JEICE gasps]

[GULDO whimpering]

No... No... Fair, Vegeta.

You cheated!

This fight was supposed to be

just me against those two! Alone, Vegeta!

There's no such thing as fair or unfair in battle...

There is only victory. Or, in your case, defeat.

[GULDO] You... You dirty Saiyan!

Do you really think you'll get away with this?

You're nothing! Just a stupid monkey!

I belong to the Ginyu Force!

[VEGETA chuckles]

[VEGETA] Not anymore.

[GULDO screams]

Well, I certainly didn't expect you'd be the one to help us.

Thank you.

[VEGETA] Keep your thanks...

I had my own reasons for wanting to destroy that freak.

[BOTH gasp]

I saw my moment to strike, and I acted on it.

That's all. It had nothing to do with saving your lives.

From now on, you'd best watch yourselves.

Because next time... you won't be so lucky.

That's insane! The crazy bastard actually killed Guldo!

Yeah... We're in trouble!

I know! With Guldo gone,

our whole routine is ruined!

We're gonna have to come up with a new one!

[ALL] Hmm...

Recoome!

Burter!

Jeice!

Now!

[ALL] Feel the power of the Ginyu Force!

[RECOOME] Uh, do any of you guys feel not so fresh?

I'd say Captain Ginyu's gonna be pissed!

You guys know how he gets.

He worked real hard on that choreography...

[JEICE] That's right!

And someone's gotta pay for it means one of us

has got to teach these twerps a lesson!

[RECOOME] I still got dibs on Vegeta.

[BURTER] Then it's between me and you

for the other two, Jeice!

[JEICE} Let's do it!

And, go!

[BURTER & JEICE] Rock, paper, scissors! Rock, paper, scissors!

[chanting continues]

Who knows? Maybe we'll get lucky

and they'll keep tying forever.

Well, maybe. I guess it doesn't hurt to have hope.

[BOTH] Rock, paper, scissors! Rock, paper, scissors!

[chanting continues]

[VEGETA growls]

No... Hope is a luxury none of us can afford.

[NARRATOR] After his long and perilous journey through space,

Goku is now in the final approach to Planet Namek.

But, even after all of his training at 100-times gravity,

is he prepared to face the evil might of Frieza,

the most powerful villain the galaxy has ever known?

And more importantly, will he be able to put a stop

to the remaining members of the Ginyu force-

Burter, Jeice, Recoome, and Captain Ginyu himself-

before they put a permanent end to all of his friends?

[NARRATOR] A showdown of epic proportions is about to begin...

and it all starts in the next exciting episode

of Dragon Ball Z!
