[DENDE speaking Namek]

[NARRATOR] On the last episode of Dragon Ball Z,

Gohan and Krillin used their first wish to bring Piccolo back

from the dead.

Hey, cool! You're alive!

[NARRATOR] Piccolo was back in action

and he asked Gohan to use the second wish

to transport him to the planet Namek!

This wish, too, was granted by the great Dragon of Namek!

The one you call Piccolo will be brought to Namek now!

[NARRATOR] Vegeta was infuriated when he awoke

and thought he missed his golden opportunity

to wish for eternal life.

[VEGETA] Well, you can kiss each other goodbye!

[NARRATOR] But then he found out there was one wish left

and it looked like eternal life would be his for the taking.

Don't you get it?! I'm the only one who can stop him!

[DENDE speaking in Namek]

[NARRATOR] But when Guru passed away,

Porunga did too, and the Dragon Balls turned to stone.

[DENDE screams]

[NARRATOR] And with Frieza on the scene,

the situation could not have been worse.

So, you are the ones? Naughty!

[NARRATOR] The dreaded moment had finally arrived!

An all-out battle with Frieza today, on Dragon Ball Z!

[FRIEZA] Hmm...

There doesn't seem to be any power readings

for the Ginyu Force...

So it is true!

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA] Somehow you wimps have managed to destroy the

most elite fighting team in the universe.

Ha, ha! What a farce!

I only wish that I could have been there to see the look

on Ginyu's face!

[FRIEZA giggles]

[GINYU] Ribbit!

Whatd'ya say we get started?

I know you are all anxious to resolve this dispute

once and for all.

[FRIEZA] I always knew that you would turn on me someday,

Vegeta, but I never knew when.

Now I see that you were just waiting for the stakes

to get high enough before you played your hand.

A valient effort, but in the end, it just didn't work,

now did it?

I hope you've thoroughly enjoyed your little rebellion,

because now it's over, my restless little warriors!

[FRIEZA growls]

Now you die!

[FRIEZA] I should have done this a long time ago!

You ruined everything, you little scumbag!

How dare you stick your nose in my affairs!

I could have been immortal! I hate you!

Like I care if you hate me. I quit.

I'm free now! To think I was nice to you all those years!

Makes me wanna puke!

[FRIEZA chuckles forcibly]

That's right, get it all out!

Live boldly, even if it is only for a few moments!

[FRIEZA chuckles]

Okay, time's up!

[FRIEZA growls]

[shouting]

[GOHAN whimpers]

Whoa, man! We're talking serious power here!

Huh...?

[PICCOLO] Whoa! That's one heck of a power increase!

[PICCOLO] Yeah, the action is definitely

getting ready to start!

[PICCOLO] A dying power. That better not be Gohan.

[NAIL groans]

He looks like me! Could be worse, I guess.

[NAIL groans]

[PICCOLO] This guy's definitely seen better days...

Yeah. You can say that again. What a drag, huh?

Hey, it's you!

So the Earthlings got to make their wishes. I love it.

I see. Well, if you know me, than you know I'm out of time.

I'm quite sure we've never meet before,

but I'm glad your beating sure hasn't

made you lose your sense of humor.

[NAIL chuckles]

You take good care of yourself, my friend.

Wait a sec...

[PICCOLO] Hmm?

I can sense your great power.

But I just don't think it's going to be enough.

[PICCOLO] We'll see!

If only you had come back as your original self...

You could have beaten Frieza for sure...

[PICCOLO] What?!

I fought him. I know how strong he is...

So, if I united with Kami, I'd have what I need right now.

How ironic!

He's probably laughing so hard that we could hear him

all the way from Earth!

[NAIL groans]

No, you're wrong! Nobody wants you to win as much as Kami does.

His very survival depends on it.

[PICCOLO] Kami!

[KAMI] Piccolo, we are one!

Hm... Well it's too late now at any rate.

And I think I would rather die than unite

with that old geezer anyhow.

Well, unite with me then...

Hmm?

It's the only help we can give, sad but true...

I'm the last warrior left on Namek.

You are? That's just great!

[NAIL] I know. But if we unite,

you'll be much stronger than you are right now.

I appreciate the offer, I guess,

but there's just not enough room inside me for the both of us.

Oh, your ego's too big, huh?

[FRIEZA laughs]

[DENDE whimpers]

[GOKU] What a horrible power! I've gotta get better...

[PICCOLO] I'd better be going now. Sorry I can't help.

Not by yourself, but with me you can.

I'm not trying to trick you, brother!

Please! I'm just trying to help you out.

You are one of us. We have to work together.

Frieza is just too strong.

If we don't use every scrap of what we have to fight him,

then we're done for.

Will I still be "me"?

[NAIL] For the most part, yes.

Sure, you'll notice a difference at first,

but who knows, you might find it to your liking.

[PICCOLO growls]

[FRIEZA laughs]

Why not? Alright.

You're on! But if I don't like it, you're out! Understand me?

Man, you're too much.

Just wait! You'll be begging to keep me around.

[PICCOLO] Yeah, right. I doubt that.

Now, tell me what to do, quick.

Right! Just keep your hand right there...

You can stay, until we beat Frieza.

After that, I'm gonna charge you rent! You got that?

[NAIL chuckles weakly]

[PICCOLO grunts]

[PICCOLO grunts]

Wow. Unreal. My gosh...

This is amazing! I feel incredible!

Yes, yes, yes, yes! I can win! I feel great! I can do this!

[PICCOLO] Yes! I'm home! I'm alive! This is all a miracle!

I'm awake! I'm wide awake!

[PICCOLO laughs]

[PICCOLO] Hang on, Gohan! Here I come!

[FRIEZA laughs]

[FRIEZA] Now look at me, Vegeta!

You fool! How dare you challenge me!

Have you forgotten what I really am?!

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA] You'd better get that smirk off your face, Vegeta!

Huh?

Hmph.

[FRIEZA] Haaaa!

--[KRILLIN] Come on! --[GOHAN] Right behind you!

[FRIEZA] Ha, ha!

[GOHAN & KRILLIN coughin]

Gohan! Look, we've got to attack him while he's distracted, okay?

It might be the only chance we get!

Right!

[KRILLIN] Let's do it!

--Haaah! --Raaah!

[BOTH screaming]

[DENDE] Krillin! Gohan!

[ALL scream]

[VEGETA] Raaagh!

[GOHAN & KRILLIN whimper]

He-He's too strong! I-I don't think we can win!

[GOHAN] What are we going to do?

[KRILLIN] I-I don't know!

Well, I do! You are all going to perish, and it won't be pretty.

[KRILLIN whimpers]

[GOHAN whimpers]

Nonsense.

Hmph.

That's right!

Our chances of winning are just as good as yours are!

[BOTH] Huh?!

That's absurd! You're finished!

No way!

[FRIEZA laughs]

Oh, no? So what's your plan?

You're so blind! Haven't you noticed yet?

Their fighting power is increasing with every attack!

Hmph.

Oh, yes, especially the little guy.

His power is enormous, but he doesn't even know it yet.

Huh?

And that's not all! Soon, I'll be a Super Saiyan!

Your worst nightmare!

Hmmm...

[VEGETA chuckles]

A Super Saiyan, huh?

Well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it!

[FRIEZA giggles]

That is if we ever come to it, fool!

[FRIEZA yells]

[FRIEZA growls]

[VEGETA grunts]

[BOTH grunting]

[FRIEZA} You low-life Saiyan! How dare you!

[ALL gasp]

[BOTH growling]

[scouter beeping]

[FRIEZA] What?!

[BOTH growling]

Not bad. You've definitely improved, Vegeta, I commend you.

Perhaps you are close to becoming a Super Saiyan!

[GOHAN] Wow. Maybe Vegeta's right.

Maybe we can beat Frieza if we work together!

We are all getting stronger. And we do have him outnumbered.

[KRILLIN] I'm getting a bad feeling about this.

Vegeta's definitely a lot stronger,

but Frieza doesn't seem to care.

He's so calm.

Why don't you transform, Frieza?

Hmmm?

Say what?

Transform! Oh, man... That doesn't sound good.

Well, how about it, Frieza?

Why don't you stop playing around and show us the real you?

So, you've found out my little secret.

That's right! Your loving minion Zarbon blurted it out.

Huh?

What are you talking about?!

The form of Frieza you see standing before you

is not what he really is; it's just a clever camouflage!

A simple mask!

He can transform to his real self at any time,

he just uses this form to conserve energy.

You rude, little ruffian! Please!

I don't choose my real form

because my power is too radical to control!

[FRIEZA giggles]

That's just great!

[VEGETA] Don't listen to him!

He's just saying that to intimidate you!

His power won't increase that much.

Is that so?

[VEGETA] Why don't you show us, then?

[KRILLIN whimpers]

Oh, alright! I'll give you what you're asking for!

Strap yourselves in, boys!

You're in for one heck of a ride!

Oh, and Vegeta, I want you to know

that any remote chance of winning you may have had

is about to go flying out the window!

Hold on. I almost forgot!

I never transform unless somebody gives me a countdown.

Oh, come on! That's... That's ridiculous.

You've got to be joking.

[FRIEZA] I'm waiting...

[VEGETA] Oh, fine!

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.

You happy?

Elated. You're too kind. Here it goes!

[GOKU] Gohan... Krillin...

[FRIEZA yells]

[GOHAN whimpers]

[KRILLIN whimpers]

[NARRATOR] Frieza has finally begun

his horrible transformation.

Can Vegeta manage to stave off this evil super power

until help arrives?

Does Piccolo have the power to save the day

now that he has fused with Nail?

And can Goku, the Saiyan from Earth,

heal in time to make a difference?

On the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!
