[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z!

With Krillin and Gohan closing in fast,

the outmatched Guldo had no choice

but to launch his attack of last resort...

the paralyzing "Mind Bind" technique!

Once snared in Guldo's psychic web,

Gohan and Krillin were forced to endure

every cruel and unusual punishment

the evil green mutant could think to dish out!

[GOHAN grunting]

[GULDO laughs]

[GULDO] Whee!

What's wrong?

You don't like me pulling on your cheeks?

So how 'bout I try pounding instead?!

[NARRATOR] And just as it began to seem Guldo

had covered every possible method of torment,

he found yet another way to stick it to our heroes...

this time permanently.

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

[GULDO laughs]

Ready or not... Time to die!

[NARRATOR] Though Krillin and Gohan struggled

with all their might, there was no escape.

Krillin prepared himself for the worst, when suddenly,

like a bolt out of the blue, a savior appeared!

[NARRATOR] It was Vegeta!

The Saiyan Prince burst in from the sidelines

to head off Guldo's attack!

And in one bold stroke, the villain was defeated.

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

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

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

[NARRATOR] But Guldo was the weakest of the Ginyu Force!

Three powerful members still remain on the battlefield!

Do Krillin, Gohan and Vegeta have any hope

of surviving the onslaught to come?!

Hope is a luxury none of us can afford...

[NARRATOR] These three unlikely allies continue

the fight for their lives... today!

[BIRDS cawing]

[RECOOME chuckling]

[VEGETA growls]

[KRILLIN whimpering]

[RECOOME chuckling]

[RECOOME] All right, kids, this fight's between me and Vegeta.

But if you feel like jumpin' in to help him out,

go ahead and try it. I'll take you all on at once.

[JEICE] Hey, not so fast there, Recoome!

That wasn't the deal!

We're just not gonna stand here and let you have all the fun!

Save the two little ones for us like we agreed.

[RECOOME] Yeah, yeah. Whatever...

Man!

Either way, we're toast!

And now! Feel the power of...

Recoooome!

[KRILLIN] Unbelievable...

[VEGETA growls]

[shouting]

Ah...!

Huh?

What the--? Why that sly little devil.

Looks like Vegeta's been hiding

his true power level from us!

[GOHAN & KRILLIN grunting]

[VEGETA shouting]

[shouting continues]

[RECOOME] Ugh!

[VEGETA] Raagh!

[RECOOME groans]

Yaah!

[VEGETA growling]

[RECOOME] Gwugh!

[RECOOME yelling]

[VEGETA growling]

[VEGETA shouts]

[KRILLIN] Duck!

See you in hell, Recoome!

Raaagh!

[VEGETA panting]

He... He did it!

[KRILLIN] Incredible... That big oaf never even saw it coming!

I never thought I'd hear myself say this,

but, I'm sure glad Vegeta's on our side!

[JEICE sputters, BURTER growls]

Ahhh, man, that was close!

[VEGETA gasps]

No... I... I can still feel his power level.

He's... He's still there!

[KRILLIN] There's... no way! He couldn't be!

[RECOOME chuckling]

Hi!

[VEGETA growls]

[KRILLIN whimpering]

This is crazy! He's not even breathing hard!

Wh-What the heck are we gonna do?!

[RECOOME laughs]

Nice try! But now... It's my turn!

[JEICE] Oh, this is just great!!

You know how long it's gonna take me

to wash all this dust out of my hair?!

Complain all you want, at least you've got hair!

[KRILLIN] We can't beat these guys...

The only thing that's gonna keep Frieza

from getting those Dragon Balls now

is some kind of miracle!

[GINYU humming]

[GINYU gasps]

[GINYU] The Dragon Ball!

Frieza wouldn't be too happy

if I let one of these get away.

Well, then no more fooling around!

[COMPUTER] Now analyzing: Planet Namek.

Environmental Quality: fair.

Mineral Resources: low.

Civilization Advancement: low.

Industrial and Commercial Potential: zero.

[FRIEZA] Hmph! I thought so... It's just a useless rock.

There isn't anything here worth developing.

But that's good.

As long as there's no profit to be made here...

Well, then... There's nothing to stop me from blowing it up.

[FRIEZA chuckles]

Huh?!

Once I have the Dragon Balls,

it will make a nice fireworks display,

to celebrate my immortality!

Ah yes... I'll write the name of Frieza in lights

across the galaxy!

You're kidding, right?

[FRIEZA] I'm not, how do you say, the "kidding" type?

It will be... glorious!

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA] What are you staring at?! See if there are any other

nearby planets worth conquering!

Right! As you command!

[thinking] I think I'm going to enjoy eternal life...

Now, this is one of my favorite little moves.

Recooooooome... Kick!

V-Vegeta!

[VEGETA] Hah!

Whu--?

[VEGETA shouting]

[blows landing, grunting]

[RECOOME] I gotta hand it to you, I'm impressed!

But let's see if you can bounce back from this one!

Recooome... Boom!

Heh, heh...

[VEGETA] Raah!

Oh!

[BOTH] All right!

[RECOOME laughs]

[RECOOME] What'd I tell you, Vegeta? You're all washed up!

[RECOOME laughs]

[KRILLIN} Oh no... This... This could be it...

All right! It's about time!

All right!

[RECOOME] Yeah!

[RECOOME chuckles]

Yeah, no sweat!

[KRILLIN] I don't think he's coming up, Gohan...

V-Vegeta...

[RECOOME] Hey, Vegeta! What's the deal?

You didn't go and die on me, did you?

Come on! I didn't get a chance to do all my best moves!

Ah!

[RECOMME chuckles]

[VEGETA yells]

Oogh!

[RECOOME yelling]

[VEGETA shouts]

[RECOOME groaning]

[blows landing]

[RECOOME groans]

[chuckles]

I'm glad you're back, Vegeta!

[RECOOME grunts, VEGETA yells]

[both yelling]

[VEGETA yelling]

[GOHAN yells]

[KRILLIN yells]

[RECOOME laughs]

Hey, now! What do we have here?

[RECOOME grunts]

Looks like a vegetable ready to be picked!

[RECOOME guffaws]

[RECOOME] Oh?!

[RECOOME yells]

[VEGETA pants]

[whimpering]

I don't believe it!

[RECOOME shouts]

[whimpering]

[RECOOME guffaws]

Now that was low... Even for a Saiyan!

You are ruthless, Vegeta...

No wonder you were always one of Frieza's favorites!

[RECOOME] It's almost too bad you had to go

and turn traitor on us.

[JEICE laughs]

That Recoome... He's just having a laugh!

He loves his work...

[KRILLIN] This guy's too much...

[RECCOME] Go ahead!

You got any more sneaky tricks you wanna try?

Or should I just kill you now before this gets too boring?

[thinking] Damn it all!

I knew from the outset

that this battle would be difficult to win...

But this is insane!

I'm fighting at the limits of my ability,

but he's just toying with me!

Brushing off my attacks like they were nothing!

[thinking] If this keeps up, I don't know

how much longer I can last!

[KRILLIN] G-Gohan...

Yeah?

Look... It doesn't matter anymore...

Whatever we do, we're still gonna die...

We... We can't beat these guys...

None of us! Not even Goku...

[KRILLIN] There's nothing left to lose... I'm goin' in!

You with me?

[GOHAN] Right!

You ready for this?

Haaa!

There he goes...

I think we've just come to the grand finale!

[BURTER chuckles]

You better take a last look at Vegeta...

'Cause after this there won't be anything left!

[RECOOME guffaws]

Yeah! Now I'm gonna rub you out!

All right. Here it comes, Gohan...

As soon as he starts his attack,

you get Vegeta out of here quick!

I'll see if I can't blindside that big gorilla!

Got it!

Recooome...

Eraser Gun!

Haaaa!

[BOTH shout]

[GOHAN] Hang on, Vegeta!

[GOHAN grunting]

[BOTH grunting]

What are you doing?! Could you be any more stupid?

[GOHAN] W-what?

[KRILLIN] Whew... Too close!

[VEGETA grunts]

Fool! Instead of coming after me...

You should have both used the opportunity to attack Recoome!

Dammit! Do you really think

he's going to let his guard down like that again?!

He sure made a heck of a dent...

Guess he wasn't kidding when he called it his "Eraser Gun".

It just wiped everything out!

[RECOOME grunts]

Huh?

[KRILLIN gasps]

[RECOOME] That was pretty crafty, twerp.

You made me slam my mouth shut on my own blast. Ow.

I would be pissed...

But, lucky for you I know a good dentist.

[KRILLIN whimpers]

Hey! Jeice! Burter!

How about you guys let me kill this one too?

Whadda ya say? Yeah? No?

Well... I guess you owe him one.

All right! You've got yourself a deal!

He's yours! But as soon as we get back home,

you're treating us to lunch for a week!

Yeah, yeah... You just cost me big. Now I'm pissed!

[KRILLIN whimpers]

[VEGETA gasps]

[GOHAN whimpers]

Hoo... yaahh... too... hnn...

Raah!

[GOHAN screams]

Krillin!

[RECOOME] How'd you like that?

Speak to me, Krillin! Please!

I... I'm sorry, Gohan...

But I think I broke every bone in my body...

[KRILLIN] We knew this is how it would end...

They're just too strong...

We never even ha-had a chance...

But at least I got in one good shot...

No! You've gotta hang on!

You can't give up! Just hang on, Krillin!

It's... all right... It's-It's time to face the facts...

The... Dr-Dragon Balls are... gone...

So, please... Save yourself while you can...

[GOHAN growls]

Man! I don't believe it!

My wind-up pose must be off or somethin'!

That kick shoulda' sent his bald head

skidding at least twice as far!

Agh... Oh well, I guess I'll have to try again...

I will.

[GOHAN growls]

G-Gohan...

You stay away!

I... I'm not gonna let you hurt my friend any more!

[RECOOME laughs]

Oh, is that so?

[RECOOME guffaws]

[RECOOME] You hear that, everyone?

[guffawing continues]

[GOHAN growls]

[VEGETA pants]

[RECOOME] That was funny.

[RECOOME guffaws]

[GOHAN growls]

[BURTER chuckles]

[NARRATOR] With Krillin and Vegeta no longer able to fight,

young Gohan is left to face the towering Recoome alone!

Can the pint-sized Saiyan warrior

stand up to this monstrous foe?
