[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z...

the battle between Frieza and Vegeta raged on

though it was clear who had the upper hand in this fight.

[NARRATOR] Grasping him with his tail,

Frieza took full adventage

of his couterpart's vulnerable state

and pummeled the Saiyan prince mercilessly.

[blows landing, VEGETA yelling]

[NARRATOR] While Gohan, Piccolo, and Krillin

watched the horror unfold,

Goku sensed the severity of the situation as well.

Fortunately, Goku's healing process was complete

and he erupted from the spacecraft

determined to use his regenerated power

to help his friends.

[NARRATOR] But after the display Frieza has put on,

will it be enough?

Find out... today!

[VEGETA groaning, blows landing]

[blows landing]

[ALL whimpering]

[VEGETA groans]

[blows landing, VEGETA grunts]

[GOHAN growls]

Uh...

Ah, but Piccolo...!

[GOKU] Mmmm...

[GOKU] Hm... That's good. They're close by.

Alrighty, then, this is it. Just hold on guys!

[blows landing, VEGETA grunting]

[ALL whimpering]

[VEGETA continues grunting]

[GOHAN grunts]

[VEGETA coughs]

[heavy blow lands]

[VEGETA coughs]

[VEGETA grunts]

[VEGETA yelling]

[ALL gasp]

[FRIEZA] My, my... What do we have here?

A fallen prince. Oh, dear!

[VEGETA groans]

[VEGETA yells weakly]

[FRIEZA] It pains me to see you like this, Vegeta.

I don't know why, but I still care for you enough

to put you out of your misery.

[VEGETA groans weakly]

Hmm...?

Don't worry. Everyone gets a turn.

[FRIEZA] Goodnight, sweet Prince.

[FRIEZA yells]

[FRIEZA] Hmm?

--[PICCOLO] Hn?! --[KRILLIN] Huh?!

[GOKU] It's okay, guys. It's really me.

[ALL gasp]

[GOKU] I'm glad to see that you're all in good health.

This is the first time I've arrived at the battlefield

that you haven't been all beat up.

[PICCOLO] Yeah, well, we had a little help in that department.

It's great to see you again!

I can tell you're a lot stronger now,

and not just physically.

Hey, Dad! Welcome back! We missed you!

[KRILLIN] Heh! What do you think of our new duds?

Not bad... but I don't think Master Roshi

or ChiChi would approve.

[GOHAN laughs]

[GOKU] I'm proud of you guys!

Especially of you, Gohan. Leave the rest to me! It's my turn!

Say what?!

Hm?

Goku, did you get hit in the head or something?

It's going to take everything we've got to beat him!

I'm fine!

[PICCOLO growls]

[GOHAN] I believe in you.

[KRILLIN] Hey, you're the man, Goku! Do it!

Take care of that big bully!

And be careful. And watch out for that tail!

[GOKU] Thanks!

[thinking] He's either making a huge mistake...

or he's infinitely improved since I fought him on Earth!

[GOKU] You must be Frieza. The one responsible

for the horrible chain of events

that have taken place on this planet.

The proof is in the pudding, don't you think? Huh?

Whatever problems you have with Vegeta,

you can take them up with me now!

Huh...?

[FRIEZA thinking] I'm sure I've seen him somewhere before...

Hey, Kakarot... Looks like you made it...

Kakarot? But that's a Saiyan name, isn't it?

Huh?! Yes... yes... that's it! Now I remember!

[BARDOCK] Frieza! Show yourself! We're not scared of you anymore!

[BARDOCK laughs]

That's it. Face the music...

Don't be afraid of him, men!

I'd rather be a free man in my grave,

than living as his puppet or his slave!

[SAIYAN troops muttering]

Come on! Let's get to it!

That's it...

Now we're talkin'!

[BARDOCK chuckles]

Here! Have it!

[FRIEZA cackles]

No way!

[FRIEZA cackles]

[BARDOCK screams]

[screaming continues]

My... son... lives... on...

[BARDOCK screams]

[FRIEZA] Yes, you are a Saiyan.

I was in a skirmish with a Saiyan who looks just like you.

You're his offspring.

The resemblance between you is unmistakeable.

I don't care.

Huh?

[thinking] Kakarot's different than before!

Maybe his last battle pushed him over the edge!

Maybe he's done it at last...

[VEGETA gasps]

[thinking] A Super Saiyan!

Well, shall we proceed?

Your call...

[FRIEZA grunts]

[FRIEZA gasps]

[GOKU] Haah!

Amazing! I couldn't follow any of it! How 'bout you?

No...

[thinking] Either my eyes were playing tricks on me,

or Goku got the best of him in that little scuffle!

[FRIEZA] Nice move, but your shoe came untied.

[GOKU] I'm not going to fall for that.

I don't even have shoe laces!

[FRIEZA] Darn. I guess you're a little smarter

than the average Saiyan.

[GOKU] Very funny.

[FRIEZA chuckles]

[FRIEZA] Goodness! No sense of humor.

No! Don't try to block it, Goku!

[KRILLIN] Everybody hit the dirt!

[GOKU & KRILLIN yell]

You fool! Die!

Hmph!

[FRIEZA growls]

[FRIEZA yells]

[PICCOLO gasps]

[FRIEZA continues to yell]

[FRIEZA snarls]

[GOKU] Hyyah!

Huh?!

One hand? Not only did he block them,

but he was able to aim them away from his friends.

[VEGETA laughs]

Who would have thought?

A lowly soldier like you, Kakarot. I commend you.

[GOKU] Hmm.

[VEGETA] Frieza, you fool! You don't get it, do you?!

Kakarot's not an ordinary Saiyan!

Kakarot is a Super Saiyan!

[FRIEZA gasps]

[VEGETA] That's right! You heard me!

If there's a God, He must be good

for letting me live long enough to see this day.

[VEGETA laughs]

How great! This is a dream come true!

To see you... beaten by a Saiyan!

[VEGETA laughs]

[VEGETA gasps]

Huh?!

Oh, no...

[PICCOLO growls]

Enough! Loud mouth. On and on like a broken record.

[VEGETA whimpers]

Oh, no!

What's your problem?! He was no threat to you any more!

He couldn't even defend himself! There's no honor in that!

Huh?!

[FRIEZA] It was the only way I could shut him up.

He insists on babbling about that ridiculous legend.

There's no such thing as a Super Saiyan!

[VEGETA grunts]

[VEGETA] Kakarot! Listen to me...

Don't be so soft! There's no stinking honor in any of this!

It's just a game! Play to win! There are... no rules!

[GOKU yells]

[GOKU] Krillin, no!

You're going to have to get over your soft-heartedness! Do it!

Forget about your feelings! You have to! They'll get you killed!

They'll get you killed, Kakarot!

I can't! I can't change who I am! Not on the battlefield!

My feelings are my guide!

Besides, everybody deserves a chance to change their ways,

just like you had!

Fool! You don't... know what you're dealing... with!

[ALIEN speaking]

[ALIEN screams]

[SAIYAN SOLDIERS laugh]

[ALIEN 2 shouting]

[KING VEGETA chuckles]

[KING VEGETA & VEGETA laugh]

[FRIEZA laughs]

[KING VEGETA grunts]

[FRIEZA] Long live the King...

[FRIEZA cackles]

Oh, my! This is... stupendous! Wow! What a great show!

Unbelievable! Look at that!

[FRIEZA cackles]

[GOKU] Save your strength, Vegeta!

No! There's more! He killed our home planet! It... was him!

He's just a corpse and he's still blabbing.

I'll have to gag him to shut him up...

Your father! And mine! The whole planet!

He blew it up! It's true!

No one... survived... but us...

Ask him if you want! He'll tell you! He's proud of it!

Please stop talking, Vegeta!

It's sapping all of your strength!

[VEGETA] No! Listen! You have to hear this!

We worked so hard for him!

We did everything he asked of us and more...

He took me... from my father... when I was just a little boy!

He made me do whatever he wanted

and said he would kill my Father if I didn't!

I did everything he asked, but he killed him anyway,

along with everyone else...

[VEGETA sobs]

[VEGETA] He was scared of us!

Scared that a Super Saiyan would be born to rise up

and overthrow him...

A touching story.

[VEGETA sobs]

Please... no more. Save your strength...

[VEGETA] Kakarot! Please! Destroy... Frieza!

He made me what I am...

Don't let him do it to anyone else...

Whatever it takes... stop him... please...

[GOKU] Vegeta...

Wel it's about time.

Saiyans tend to linger like a bad odor.

[GOKU] Goodbye, Vegeta...

You're not as cold-hearted as you believed yourself to be.

A heart of stone can't shed tears like you did.

You must have been holding them back your whole life...

[GOKU] I'm the only one left...

[GOKU growls]

[GOKU] I think I understand you now.

You weren't grieving over your own death

or because our home planet was destroyed.

You were grieving because he turned you

into what he wanted you to be.

You never had a chance to be anything else.

Well, I still respect you.

I know you made a lot of mistakes...

[GOKU] But now I see that it wasn't all your fault.

[GOKU] You had the fiery will of a Saiyan!

Please share that with me now... 'cause I need it.

[GOKU] Thank you for saving my son's life

and for buying enough time for me to recuperate.

I'll do my best to carry out your wish.

It's true! Vegeta's right! You have no honor!

For him! And for everyone else you've destroyed!

[GOKU] I am going to... finish you!

We'll see about that, won't we?

[NARRATOR} Many have suffered...

And many have perished at the hands of Frieza!

Can Goku rid the universe of this evil?

Find out on the next Dragon Ball Z!
