[GOKU bellows]

[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z!

Goku was stranded on the planet Namek

when it exploded and was blown to smithereens!

[NARRATOR] But Bulma wasn't worried,

because she found out that the Dragon Balls from Namek

possessed certain advantages that

the Earth's Dragon Balls didn't have!

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

[NARRATOR] King Kai, however, was less than enthusiastic.

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

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

[YAMCHA and CHIAOTZU] Huh?

He brings them back to the place where they died!

Goku and Krillin died on Namek.

They would materialize in space.

Right where Namek used to be!

[NARRATOR] Is there any hope to bring our heros back?

Find out, today!

[birds chirping]

[BULMA] Gosh, Goku...

Hey, there's got to be a way.

We just can't give up. Whadda ya think?

[BULMA] I don't know, Gohan.

King Kai was pretty clear on the matter.

It's no problem to wish Chiaotzu back

because he died on Earth.

But I'm afraid it's a completely different matter

with your dad and Krillin.

There's no nest to lay the eggs in!

Hey, that's a good analogy!

Yeah, sure.

[BULMA] Your dad and Krillin are the eggs

and the Dragon is the hen,

but there's no nest for her to lay her eggs in!

And since there's not a cozy space for the eggs,

they get cold and crack,

and the little chickies end up dying.

That's awful. Gosh!

[BULMA] I'm sorry, Gohan. I know it's hard.

Your dad's a really good egg.

--[VEGETA] Shut up! --[BULMA] Wha--?!

Enough of this ridiculous babble!

[gasps]

If you want Kakarot back, then listen.

The Earth has a Check-in Station to the spirit realm.

Wish him back there first. Then wish him back to life.

Hey! That might work!

[BULMA] Man, Vegeta! What a great idea! I'm impressed!

[grunts]

[BULMA] This is awesome!

We need to gather the Dragon Balls!

[GOHAN] Uh... Thank you very much!

[laughs]

[VEGETA] Don't get carried away!

[grunts]

You bunch of softies!

[BULMA] Huh...?

[VEGETA] Silly fools!

I'm not interested in helping Kakarot.

I want to know how he became a Super Saiyan,

so I can do it too!

[MOORI] Excuse me, Miss Bulma.

We have a request we'd like to make.

We plan to use our Dragon Balls to relocate to another planet.

But finding a suitable home is going to take time.

Do you know of a place where we can stay temporarily

until we can make other arrangements.

[BULMA] Gosh...

Hey, I know! Just stay with me!

No. We mustn't impose.

Aw, hey, it's really no biggie.

It's the least I can do for you all.

Besides, you need a major credit card to stay in a hotel.

Huh?

[BULMA] Hey, no worries. My dad's compound is huge.

There's enough room for everyone.

It's not like you guys have a lot of options.

Green men from outer space

aren't a common sight around here.

Oh, gosh! I see your point.

We... accept.

What about you?! Hey, homeboy!

Huh? What? Home--what?

Hey, loosen up.

You're going to need a place to crash, too.

Agh!

[BULMA] Hey, why don't you drop the arrogant tough-guy act

and just relax. Let it all go!

Take a vacation for goodness sake.

Unwind a little and see what life has to offer you.

You're actually kind of cute.

[giggles]

What? I'm not kind of--!

Shut up!

All right then! It's all settled!

I'm going to go call my dad and have him pick all of us up.

[MOORI] Thank you so much!

[GOHAN] Bulma?

Um... do you think I could

stay at your house for a little while?

[BULMA] What are you talking about, kiddo?

You have your own beautiful house with a wonderful mom,

who's probably worried sick about you.

Well, yeah. But... it'll just be for a short time.

Please? Just 'til I finish my homework.

[DR. BRIEF] What's the deal here? Darn thing!

Oh, there!

All right, gang, everything is a go!

Now remember, when you first take-off

it's going to feel like someone's trying to

pull your brains out through your feet!

But once you clear the Earth's atmosphere,

you're going to feel like you're walking on

a cushion of air!

Now everyone, are you ready?!

[ALL grunt]

It's about time! I'm ready for action! Lock and load!

[DR. BRIEF] Uh, just a moment.

I have a phone-call coming in. Please standby.

Uh, sorry. That was Bulma. She's back on Earth!

She said that Gohan is with her as well!

Huh?

[DR. BRIEF] Does anyone still want to go to Namek

or should I cancel the flight?

[ALL yell]

[CHICHI] Step on it! Oh, come on!

I could walk faster than this piece of junk!

[whimpers]

Hey, that's them! All right!

Yo! Dad! We're down here!

Gohan! It's Mommy!

Huh? Well, where is he?

Gohan! It's you!

Uh-huh...

[CHICHI] My son!

Yep! That's me...!

Well, guys, this is going to be your new home for a while.

It's not the Taj Mahal, but I think you're gonna like it.

Hi! Are you the one who helped Goku

save my beautiful little girl from those horrible men?

You should get a medal! You're a hero!

I... I, uh...

A ship!

She's a real beauty!

Advanced supertronics... the best!

Self generating laser powered reactor,

and a stereo system that will bring the house down!

Not bad. Kakarot must've used a ship just like this one.

[beep]

Hi, Vegeta. Come on out. Cold drinks for everyone.

I made you a Shirley Temple.

[NARRATOR] And so began a period of rest and recreation

for the visitors from outerspace.

Moori became an expert putter.

[NARRATOR] The Namek boys learned how to play poker.

[NARRATOR] And a certain frog became the proud new ruler

of the fish pond.

[NARRATOR] One hundred and thirty days

seemed to pass by very quickly,

and it was time to summon the Eternal Dragon once again.

Gosh, are you guys ever lucky.

Our Dragon Balls take a whole year to regenerate.

Ours too. We Nameks just have shorter year than you all do.

Oh. Gotcha! Well, what do you guys think?

I say we should we call upon the Eternal Dragon

while we're still young.

Are you up to it?

Sure, why not?! But... where's... Gohan?

[CHICHI] Hey! Hold on! Wait for us!

Hey! What's up, kid?

[GOHAN] Not a lot!

Sorry we're late. I had to finish my homework.

[BULMA] Don't sweat it, kid.

You're fashionably late and that's okay.

Gohan's been hitting the books a lot lately.

He's almost caught up on all the work he missed

while he was gone.

Man! What a little champion! Cool!

Well, Dende? Whadda ya say?

Sure!

[speaking Namekian]

[gasps]

[howls]

[growls]

[PORUNGA growls]

Wow! Now that's a dragon!

Yes! Oh, my! Dear me!

[gasps]

[indistinct chatter]

[screams] It's a monster!

[ALL gasp]

Whoa! Look at the size of that thing!

Not on my beat!

We're taking that overgrown lizard downtown, bro!

Go ahead! I'll back ya up!

I have... no clue.

[MAN] This is Sky-Cam Six

with the five o'clock traffic report!

I quit!

I don't get paid enough for this!

[OFFICER] Ladies and gentlemen!

We have traced the origin of the appararition

to the Capsule Corporation!

Go home. There is no need to panic.

Aw, man!

[OFFICER] It's just another one of Dr. Brief's

crazy experiments!

[indistinct chatter]

You who have summoned me.

I will now grant you three wishes.

Now, proceed with your wishes.

Go ahead, my friends.

We can wait another hundred and thirty days

to start our new life.

Besides, I think I can improve my putt.

It's all in the wrist. And the follow-through.

Well, shoot! Let's do it then!

Please bring Goku and Krillin to Earth's Check-in Station

in the spirit realm.

[DENDE speaking Namekian]

All right. Just a sec.

[PORUNGA] The one called Krillin

is at the Earth's Check-in Station.

--[GOHAN and BULMA sigh] --[DR. BRIEF] Ah!

But the one called Goku

cannot be brought to that place.

What? Darn! What's up?!

Why not?

Because he is alive.

If I moved him there now, he would die.

[CHICHI gasps]

[GOHAN] Dad's really still alive? But how?

[VEGETA] Kakarot...

What? Goku? Alive? Huh?

--[PUAR laughs, cheers] --[OOLONG] Hey! Yeah! Ha-ha!

Yay! [laughs]

[GOHAN laughs]

Hey, if Goku's alive, why hasn't he come back yet? Huh?

[GOHAN] Well, maybe his ship's broken!

Yeah, I'll bet he's stuck!

My friends! Look! He's alive, right?

So, just wish him back here.

Hey! Great idea!

Yeah!

[laughs] Now, the next wish!

Let's bring Krillin back to life!

[OOLONG and PUAR cheering]

[speaking Namekian]

Huh? What? How?

Welcome back, partner!

[KRILLING] Oh, wow! Wait a minute...

I'm back alive!

[ALL cheering]

[PORUNGA clears throat] [ALL cheering]

Hey! Yo, people!

Let's move it! One more wish!

Oooo! Sorry!

You're cute! I like you!

--[BULMA giggles] --[PORUNGA] Oh...

Uh...

[BULMA] All right, then. Let's do it.

For the last wish, let's bring Goku back to Earth!

[cheering, lauhging]

[speaking Namekian]

[PORUNGA growls lowly]

[PORUNGA growls]

Goku...!

[BOTH laugh]

[PORUNGA] Silence! It can't be done!

Oh...

[PORUNGA] The one called Goku refuses to return

and says he'll come back later.

What? But, why?

[ROSHI] I know why.

Because he's scared, that's why!

Of the one more powerful than a Super Saiyan; his wife!

[CHICHI] What?!

Yikes! No! Please, no! It was a joke!

Gosh, why doesn't Dad wanna come back?

[PICCOLO] Your dad told Porunga that he'll be back later.

Don't worry, Gohan. He'll keep his word.

[VEGETA] Kakarot! What are you up to?

You're probably training on another planet somewhere

perfecting your skills!

While I'm sitting here wasting my time with these bozos!

[grunts]

[distant rumbling]

Huh?

[ALL gasp]

[MRS. BRIEF] Isn't that your spaceship, darling?

[DR. BRIEF] Well, it was...!

Ohh...

[PICCOLO] Forget about him!

He's gone! No big loss!

Don't you guys have some friends at King Kai's

that want to come back?

[BULMA] Oh, yeah! Three of them.

But who should we wish back first?

[KING KAI] Hey guys!

They want to wish one of you back,

but you have to choose.

Chiaotzu?

I think I'll stay here and train some more.

You guys can pick.

Well, if he's staying, I'm staying, too!

Very well then. Yamcha, you're up!

[chatters]

Where's bubbles? He's gone!

Well... the hand is quicker than the eye!

He knows better than that!

[KING KAI] Bulma, can you hear me?

This is King Kai speaking.

Oh! Gosh, hi, King Kai!

[KING KAI] Bulma, I asked all the guys

to decide which one of them would go back first

and they chose Yamcha.

Yamcha, huh? Okay.

He probably drew the short straw.

I'll bet he cheated.

Hey, Dende. Yamcha's our man.

[speaking Namekian]

[PORUNGA growls]

So be it.

[PORUNGA] It is done. Your wish has been granted.

It has? But where is he?

[PORUNGA] I have fulfilled three wishes.

I am finished here.

Uh, no! Wait! Please!

[growls]

Oh man! Bummer...!

The Dragon short-changed us!

No he didn't! I'm over here!

[chuckles nervously]

Ribbit, ribbit!

Yamcha! I missed you!

[laughs]

Puar, easy!

[PUAR] You're really back!

[BULMA] Yamcha...?

Hey! Wow! You're looking better than ever, Bulma!

I missed you a lot!

[NARRATOR] One hundred and thirty days later,

on a sunny afternoon,

a peculiar darkness overtook the sky once again!

The first wish was used to bring back

the young Emperor, Chiaotzu.

[cheering and laughing]

[NARRATOR] With the next wish, Tien was brought back.

Huh?

Are we, uh...?

Mm.

[CHIAOTZU] Oh, Tien! I can't believe it! We're home!

[sobbing]

[clapping and cheering]

[growls]

[giggles]

Well, Dende...

It's time to say good-bye.

[DENDE] Yes, sir.

Good-bye, friends. We love each of you.

Gosh! You're so sweet.

Gohan. I'm sorry, but I have to say good-bye now.

Gosh, Dende.

I promise, I'll never forget you, Gohan.

All right. Let's have it already.

[DENDE speaking Namekian]

See ya!

Yeah, see ya!

Gohan...

Bye!

Dende!

[NARRATOR] And so the star-voyagers

from the planet Namek left the Earth

to begin life a new somewhere deep in space!

[OX-KING] ChiChi, is that meat loaf I smell?

[CHICHI] Yes, Dad. It's meat loaf.

Mmm! Yummy! I love meat loaf!

[PICCOLO] If you ever need me, Gohan...

I'll be there for you, kid.

[NARRATOR] At long last, life returned to normal

for Gohan and his family.

Except that every night,

they would go out and look at the stars together,

and wonder when the one they loved would finally return!
