[GOKU] Get down, now!

[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z!

Frieza's evil plan to dominate the Universe finally fell apart!

With the planet Namek teetering on the edge of destruction,

it was time for Goku to bid Frieza farewell!

[NARRATOR] But the half of Frieza that Goku left behind

obviously wasn't his better half!

Unable to accept defeat, the one-armed, legless villain

bitterly gathered his energy for a last ditch effort

to hit Goku from behind!

Huh?

[NARRATOR] The Super Saiyan had had enough though.

Having already spared Frieza's life twice,

it was time to put an end to this shameless menace

once and for all!

[screams]

[NARRATOR] But can Goku make it off Namek before it explodes?

Find out, today!

[distant rumbling]

I can't take this!

Has anything happened, King Kai?

[TIEN] I've got to know! Please!

[KING KAI] Yes, something has happened, Tien!

The fight is over! Frieza is dead!

[ALL gasp]

Frieza was pleading for his life to Goku,

so Goku tried to help him out!

He gave Frieza some of his own power!

[KING KAI] But instead of using the power to escape,

Frieza turned on Goku, and used it to attack him!

[grunts] Man, what a jerk!

[KING KAI] Indeed! So Goku was forced to deliver the final blow

to put an end to the fight for good.

All right! You're saying that Goku won, right?

Yes, after Goku transformed into a Super Saiyan,

Frieza found himself totally outclassed.

Yes!

[YAMCHA and CHIAOTZU laughing]

[TIEN] Oh wow. That means Goku is the strongest fighter

in the Universe. Whatd'ya know!

Right from our own backyard!

I wouldn't mind a little sparring session,

just to see how I measure up!

[CHIAOUTZU laughs]

Hold it! Quiet!

[BOTH] Huh?

Goku defeated Frieza but he didn't win!

As a matter of fact, he just might lose!

Lose? But how?

By still being on Namek when it explodes, that's how!

[YAMCHA] Oh.

He doesn't have enough time!

He's heading to Frieza's spaceship

because it's closer than his!

But Namek could blow any second now!

The surface looks like boiling spaghetti sauce.

It would take a miracle to get him out in time!

[KING KAI] But I haven't given up hope... not yet!

Hey! Goku's gotten himself out of some hairy situations!

If there's any way out, he'll find it!

He's like the great Houdini or something.

I guarantee, he'll get out of there!

C'mon! Guys! This is Goku we're talking about! Lighten up!

[KING KAI] I wish that there was something to

"lighten up" about!

Uhh... I guess you'd just have to see it!

[GOKU] There it is! Oh, great! It looks pretty beat up!

Darn!

[GOKU] Okay now, where's the bridge?

[GOKU] Oh, man! I don't think this is it!

[grunts]

[GOKU] I'm getting a bad feeling about this!

[GOKU panting]

[grunts]

[GOKU yells]

[GOKU] C'mon, baby! Please work!

[beeping]

All right! Now I just need to figure out how to make it go.

[GOKU] C'mon, c'mon!

There! That's it!

[engine humming]

Huh?

[GOKU] Aah. It's working! Come on! Come on!

[GOKU] Huh? Oh, no, what happened?

It died! Piece of junk!

What now?

[GOKU] Oh, man! Please work! Come on!

Come on, baby, work for me!

[gasps]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[GOKU] Man o' man! Now what?!

That was my only ticket outta here!

Eeeeh yow!

[BOTH] Huh?

Aaah! Whoa! That was a doozy!

Oh no! No!

Hey, what's wrong?! Something's up!

[KING KAI] It's Frieza's ship!

Goku got to it in time, but it's broken!

What a lemon!

And now it's gone! Swallowed up by the lava!

[YAMCHA grunts]

Was Goku on it?!

[KING KAI] No! But that was Goku's only way

to get off of Namek!

He's stuck there now. Alone.

The only soul on the whole planet,

and it's about to blow!

There's nothing he can do anymore, guys. It's over.

--[YAMCHA] Goku... --[CHIAOTZU] Goku...

[GOKU] I won't give up!

I will not give up!

[yells]

[grunts]

It's happening, you guys!

Goku...!

No way!

It can't be... Goku, no!

Oh, no...!

[GOKU yells]

[TIEN] King Kai...? What happened?!

It's over, isn't it?!

[KING KAI] I think so...

Yes. Let me make sure.

[grunting]

[KING KAI] Just as I feared!

There is no more Planet Namek.

It's gone!

Sorry, you guys. I know how much you cared about him.

[YAMCHA grunts]

No! Goku!

[YAMCHA] You sacrificed everything...

Goodness gracious!

I guess I need to give the bad news to Gohan.

It'll break his heart for sure.

Oh, boy, oh, boy! How can I tell him?!

You could try breaking the news through Bulma.

That's not a bad idea.

I can tell her, King Kai. I'm close to Bulma.

[KING KAI] So be it, Yamcha. Come forward.

You know the score.

Right.

[KING KAI] Whenever you're ready, Yamcha.

[YAMCHA] Okay, here goes!

[YAMCHA] Bulma! Can you hear me?!

[BULMA] Huh?! Who said that?

I must be losing my mind!

[YAMCHA] Bulma, you're not losing your mind.

It's me, Yamcha.

Huh? Yamcha. Where? I don't see you.

[ALL] Huh?

[BULMA] I can hear you though.

Did somebody shrink you or something?

[YAMCHA] No. Nobody shrunk me. I'm full-sized.

Look, Bulma. I'm communicating with you telepathically!

King Kai arranged it. I'm relaying a message for him.

No way!

Bulma, Yamcha's talking to you?

It's King Kai! He must have a message!

Hey, that's what he said! Man, that's wild!

Telepathy, huh? So it's true then. It is Yamcha.

Hi-ya, Yamcha! What's up?

[YAMCHA] Notta lotta! Just hanging out

with the other dead guys. You know how it is.

[YAMCHA] But, hey, I have to hurry because, uh,

I'm sort of calling long distance.

It's about Goku, Bulma.

The fight on Namek is over.

[BULMA] You're kidding. Who won?!

[YAMCHA] Goku did! He beat Frieza! But, uhh...

Goku won?! All right! That's our Goku!

Hey, guys! Goku won!

Wow! Dad really won?! Yay! Wooo!

[GOHAN and DENDE laughing]

[PICCOLO] Goku! You did it, my friend!

[chuckles]

[laughing]

[VEGETA] He did it?! Unbelievable!

[YAMCHA] Bulma, please, listen!

That's not the end of the story. There's more.

After Goku defeated Frieza,

he tried to use Frieza's spaceship

to high-tail it out of there.

But the darn thing bugged out on him.

He was stuck! With no way out!

When Namek exploded, Goku went with it! He's gone.

Hold on, guys! There's more!

[BULMA] Goku didn't make it off Planet Namek before it exploded.

--[BULMA] He's dead. --[YAMCHA] Huh?!

[BULMA] What a bummer!

[YAMCHA] Bulma, what are you doing?!

Are you nuts?! You're not giving a weather report

or announcing the score of a football game!

The kid's dad just died!

I could have done a better job than that!

[lauhging]

Duh! Now listen up, pea brain!

I'm the one with the real inside scoop, not you.

What would you say if I told you that

with the Dragon Balls from Namek,

you can wish people back to life more than just one time.

That means that we can wish everybody back.

Goku, Krillin, and Chiaotzu can all be wished back!

[BULMA] You're all coming home! How do you like them apples?!

And it's not going to take that long either!

So just chill! You dork!

I was always the brains of the outfit when we were together,

and you were always the brawn.

[YAMCHA] Oh, man! Same ol' Bulma.

Yamcha. What's up?!

[TIEN] What's going on?!

It looks like we're goin' home!

Hey, Chiaotzu, that means you too!

Me?!

What's the deal?!

[KING KAI] Using the Nameks' Dragon Balls is a great idea,

but I'm afraid it won't help Goku and Krillin.

[TIEN] Why not?!

Well, when the Dragon restores someone's life,

he brings them back to the place where they died.

But Goku and Krillin died on Namek.

Oh, I get it now. Namek isn't there.

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. Namek's gone.

What a shame. It was a great idea.

But can we try it anyway?!

Of course you can, but I already know what would happen.

Trust me, it's not something

you'd want to do to your friends.

[KING KAI] They would materialize in space...

Right where Namek used to be.

And die a lonely death in the middle of nowhere.

[gasps]

[gasps]

[gasps]

King Kai! There must be something you can do!

Can't you use your powers to help them?!

I wish I could.

I'd gladly step in if it was within my power!

[KING KAI] I'm sorry, guys. Really.

What's wrong, Bulma? You look sad.

King Kai... he said... that Goku can't come back...

[BOTH gasp]

I-If we wished them back,

they would go to the planet Namek,

but the planet Namek's gone.

Dad?! No way! You're gone for good?!

[PICCOLO] I'm sorry, Gohan.

[VEGETA laughs]

I told you, didn't I?!

It looks like my prophecy came to pass after all.

I'm number one now, guys. So get used to it.

It was nice of your dad, kid.

[VEGETA] Getting rid of Frieza like that for me.

What a guy! He served his purpose.

Jerk! You're nothing compared to him!

He spared your life twice!

He shouldn't have been so soft, should he?

Which leads me to the question of what to do with his son.

[VEGETA] Destroy him now, so he doesn't destroy me someday?!

Don't sweat it, kiddo.

You're the only Saiyan left besides me.

That makes you a very important young man.

We're the last survivors of an Ancient race.

[VEGETA] Besides, I need someone like you at my side

to polish my boots and call me Lord Vegeta.

[laughs]

My dad'll be back, you watch!

[laughs]

You're dad is history, kid!

[yells, groans]

Hm!

Hey, you leave him alone, jerk!

[gasps]

[VEGETA] Are you challenging me, kid?

I wouldn't recommend it.

It's your call. Go ahead!

My dad will take care of you!

And he will be back!

[yells]

[GOHAN yells]

[VEGETA grunts]

[GOHAN yells]

[yells]

[VEGETA coughs]

[BULMA] Gohan!

[groans]

[VEGETA] All right, kid, that does it!

If you want to challenge the Prince of all Saiyans, you can!

But I promise, this fight will be your last!

[panting]

You're making a big mistake.

[yells]

[VEGETA] Where do you think you're going?

Hmm?

[VEGETA grunting] [GOHAN groaning]

[VEGETA chuckles]

Oh, no! Gohan's in serious trouble!

Gohan, no!

[PICCOLO] Hang in there, kid.

[VEGETA grunts]

[GOHAN yells]

[screams]

[VEGETA] Pity! What a waste of talent.

Bye.

Hm?

Not today! Back off!

[VEGETA scoffs]

Ah... Have it your way.

Please... Father... Come home...

I know you're still up there somewhere.

You have to be.

I need you, Dad...!

[grunts]

A tough guy like you should be able to face the truth!

[DENDE] Are you, okay? I don't see how you did it.

Father...

Goku...

[BULMA] Goku!

[NARRATOR] The planet Namek finally exploded

and has disappeared without a trace!

And Goku is gone as well!

Is the pure-hearted savior really just a memory now?

Find out, on the next Dragon Ball Z!
