Last Dragon Ball Z Kai...

Frieza's top lieutenant Zarbon

underwent a shocking transformation,

and proceeded to unleash the full extent of his power

on an unprepared Vegeta.

As the two titans clashed,

Krillin and Dende raced to collect the final Dragon Ball,

before it was too late...

You'll pay... when... the Dragon Balls are mine!

Power Up, Krillin!

Frieza's Mounting Apprehension!

There it is. That really tall rock formation in front of us!

No kidding?

Well, let's hope the long trip was worth it...

The Grand Elder's lived in that house

longer than any of us know...

Kinda conspicuous...

Seriously, I mean with it right out in the open like this

the bad guys'll barely have to look.

Doesn't seem all that smart if you ask me...

Huh?

I hate to ask this, but what if they've already been here?

Oh...

I don't know...

That's Nail!

Thank goodness! That means everything's alright!

He's the spitting image of Piccolo!

I am relieved you and the visitor got here safely, Dende.

The Grand Elder has become aware

of the dark clouds gathering over our homeworld.

So he has seen all of the horrible things

that have been going on.

Good. The less explaining we have to do, the better.

The Grand Elder wishes to see you. Please, come inside.

But... Wh-Why would he stay if he knew what was happening?

This place is so obvious; both of you should try to hide!

Alas, the Grand Elder knows all too well

how futile that would be...

I'm afraid at his age hiding simply isn't an option...

And there's nothing left for me to do

but stay by his side and protect him

for as long as I can.

So then, all the rumors are true...

He isn't long for this world...

Enter. Please.

This guy could hold his own in a fight.

He seems a lot stronger than the rest

of the Namekians I've seen...

Above.

Elder... Dende and the visitor have come.

No way!

Welcome... You come to us from a planet called Earth, yes?

First of all, allow me to express my gratitude

for seeing a child of mine to safety... Thank you.

Uh... Hey, uh... No need to thank me...

It was nothing, really...

Hyaa!

Well, okay... Guess I'm officially maxed out now.

Still, though...

I've mastered fifty-times the gravity of Earth.

And fast! Real fast!

Looks like my little face-off with Vegeta

did a lot more than put me in the hospital after all, huh?

By the cruel hand of these invaders,

many of my children have died...

Their sacrifices weigh on my heart like–

–like an ocean.

The villains seek the Dragon Balls

for their own insidious ends, am I correct?

Yes.

To think such beacons of hope could be so foully twisted...

That the pinnacle of our peoples' wisdom

could incur such loss...

Forgive me for cutting to the chase here, but...

with all due respect, Grand Elder,

if it's okay with you...

I need to borrow the Dragon Ball that's above your head.

I promise I won't let it fall into their clutches.

Never in a million years!

You are on a quest to collect

the Dragon Balls for yourself then?

Yes, sir.

I wanna use them to bring back some old friends

who died protecting me.

I'd like to ask the same thing, sir...

Please, Grand Elder...

If his friends were brought back, then just maybe

together they might be able to stand

against these evil men and defeat them!

And how is it you know of our legacy?

We had them back home, too.

You mean on Earth?

Long ago, when this planet was in crisis,

one of your people journeyed across the stars

and came to our world...

For whatever reason,

he created the Dragon Balls for us.

Ah, yes... I remember now...

A gifted child... A genius...

The scion of Katattsu– brightest flame

among the tribes of old...

Imagine a maker of Dragon Balls

reaching as far out into the cosmos as that...

He was killed... along with my friends,

by one of the monsters who's here now...

A Saiyan named Vegeta who wanted to destroy the Earth.

The Saiyans are indeed a formidable race...

I feel for our lost prodigy.

Permit me to ask–

was this monster by chance a Super-Saiyan?

A Super-Saiyan? What's that?

Excuse me for a moment...

Indulge an old man and step up to my side here.

'Kay...

Please... may I draw from your home's past?

Sure...

Oh dear... I see now...

An evil crept into him and split the body...

The two halves remained equal in power

But the pure-hearted Kami could never subdue

the dark mirror image born of the rift...

And thus Piccolo was wrought.

Oh, the pain of it...

Poor creature... Our Namekian heritage within him divided...

If only he could have become whole again...

He might still be among you, today.

You saw that?

Yes, and your intentions...

And I find the only thing purer than they is your courage...

So holding to the principle of my sacred trust...

I give this to you... The Dragon Ball in my keeping.

Thank you!

Yes, thank you Grand Elder...

Wow, this thing's got some heft to it.

Awesome!

Alas, I fear your wish isn't likely to be granted.

Whaddya mean? Why not?

I am ancient...

What time I have left on this world

will end in a few days.

Do you think you'll be able to win back the Dragon Balls

already in enemy clutches with so little time?

It seems an insurmountable task, and once I die...

the Dragon Balls will be extinguished.

I don't care! Forget my wish!

No matter what happens I'll protect the one

you've given me with my life!

Vegeta and his pals won't get it. I promise you that!

Thank you...

I don't possess the strength to protect it myself.

It's my honor, sir!

You have truly incredible reserves of strength, friend...

Your power is enviable...

And yet so little of it is tapped.

Reserves, huh? What do you...?

Let us see if the floodgates may be opened...

Sorry...

I'm pretty sure I'm already "tapped" out, you know?

I mean my training's been wicked crazy...

Even right now I'm beyond

my normal limits back home, so uh...

Krillin... Do your best, but remember time is fleeting.

Whoa!

Wha-What have you done to me?

This power! I can feel it surge!

I can't believe it!

This is just awesome!

I feel like I've been totally reborn!

Thank you so much, Grand Elder!

Um... Is it...

Is it possible for you to tap into anyone's power?

Like maybe... Like a little kid's power?

If the power is there to tap, of course.

I assume you have someone in mind?

Well... I mean does unlocking someone's potential

like, drain you or anything?

Not at all... I only provide the catalyst

for what lay dormant– my life force isn't affected.

Then would it be okay,

for me to bring a lil' buddy of mine up here to see you?

So you can be like the catalyst or whatever for him–

'Cause I'm sure his reserves have to be totally amazing!

Bring him to me... The stronger our friends,

the better chance right has to prevail.

Cool! I'll be back in a little while!

What should I um... do with this?

Take it with you, my boy...

From this point forward the fate of our world,

and perhaps the universe itself, rest in your hands.

Dende... You just wait here...

I'll be back with Gohan before you have a chance to miss me.

B-Be careful out there!

WOO-HOO!

Yeah! Ha-ha!

I can get Gohan back here in no time now!

How completely and totally beyond sweet is this?

How is this possible?

We haven't even been to this village yet,

but someone's already gone and laid it to waste!

No one would think to look for it underwater...

and I'll be the only one who knows where it is.

I must recover it at all costs...

Tell me... Who did this to you?

The Saiyan... took... our Dragon Ball...

Smells like Vegeta.

Please help me.

I look like a doctor to you?

Frieza, my lord. It's Zarbon.

You may enter now.

Tell me that you discovered a village.

No, with all apologies, lord, I've yet to locate one...

But I'm happy to report that Vegeta has been dealt with.

Ah... Excellent...

And you transformed...

It's been a great while since you resorted to that.

Yes.

So... I take this to mean that Vegeta is dead?

Well... Circumstances ruled out my finding a corpse,

but even if by some chance he's still alive

I assure your lordship his injuries are grave...

You mean to tell me you procured no confirmation of his death?

Uh, He... He was totally submerged under water;

the current carried him away so I–

Ah, well I guess we wouldn't want you getting wet...

Perhaps you might have retrieved him if you weren't so concerned

about getting your stupid hair tousled!

For that matter, what gave you the right to "deal" with him

without my consent in the first place?

Had it not occurred to you that Vegeta may very well

have found a Dragon Ball on his own and,

I don't know, hidden it?

I'm... I am so sorry, my lord!

I'll go and retrieve him at once.

Sir! I've discovered a Namekian village while out on patrol!

The bad news is the village has already been wiped out

and their Dragon Ball taken!

What did you say?

My gut tells me it's the work of Vegeta.

Then he is hiding a Dragon Ball!

There was one villager who survived the attack

but I dealt with him, filthy scum.

You imbecile. You disposed of the only witness.

Frieza?

There are few things I despise more than a minion who

takes it upon himself to make executive decisions.

Zarbon, if Vegeta is dead

then prepare yourself to follow his example.

Bring the prodigal son back here... Now.

And for your sake hope he's still in a position

to be of use to me.

Appule!

Sir?

Contact Planet Frieza immediately

and inform them I require a shipment

of replacement scouters without delay. Understood?

Have them delivered in care of the Ginyu Force.

Five days is my expectation.

Understood, sir!

With all due respect, Lord Frieza–

isn't calling the Ginyu Force perhaps a bit excessive?

I realize things look dire,

but surely the situation hasn't spiraled

so hopelessly out-of-control that we need their help...?

My sense of foreboding would tend to suggest otherwise.

What... sort of foreboding, my lord?

A notion has plagued me for quite some time now...

The idea... that somewhere out there,

a Saiyan has come into his own

and is destined to become my enemy.

Vegeta of course was the likeliest candidate,

but now I'm not so sure...

Yes, but... My lord, I...

Again with all due respect

the only Saiyans left in existence apart from him

are this what's-his-name on Earth and his infant son, yes?

And based on what I've come to understand, sir...

Their powers are well below even Vegeta's–

So you're telling me this sense of foreboding

is little more than childish paranoia...

No sir!

Then stop yammering and bring Vegeta back here

before I lose what little patience with you I have.

Yes, my lord!

The Ginyu Force...

Even as children,

Saiyans possess unfathomable stores of raw power...

What battles don't finish them off

only serve to make them stronger...

Not nearly as strong as me, of course, but still...

Foresight demands I wrench this bothersome little monkey

off my back before it becomes something more cumbersome.

The fabled Super-Saiyan would be a most inopportune foe indeed.

I slept like a log...

Wonder how many hours I've been out?

Okay... Can't move... Not good!

I'm... not... finished!

This... fight... is not... done!

Unbelievable!

Still alive after the thrashing you took...

Quite the tough guy, huh?

Heh, heh... Of course you are,

and that resilience is my ticket back

into Frieza's good graces... Up we go...

Hmm? Hey, Gohan...

Come here for a sec... Take a look at the radar.

One of the Dragon Balls is on the move...

It's headed in our direction!

Um... So what do you think

the chances are that that's Krillin?

Pretty good... I think he's found one!

They made it to the Grand Elder's safe and sound.

Now he's on his way back here to us!

Wait. Hold on... There's another one...

Right there... Weird... I didn't notice it 'til now.

Huh?

These five right here have gotta be the ones

that Frieza guy has gathered up...

But then there's this one out here all by itself. See?

Hey, you're right. And not all that far from us.

In fact... It's just over that way, right?

Remember the village Vegeta was attacking a while ago?

That's the direction is was in!

But... He's not there anymore...

I'd sense his energy if he was.

I get it now! The Dragon Ball is obviously still there

which means Vegeta couldn't find it

and he's moved on out of frustration!

Yeah!

He's probably off on the other side of the planet by now

and we're practically next door to the last one!

Bulma, you've gotta let me borrow that radar... Please...

I'm gonna track that Dragon Ball down before he comes back.

You've got it pal... Here...

'Bout time we had a little luck.

Report.

His condition is critical, sir...

All vital signs are steadily dropping.

Even if he does manage to pull through...

I can't guarantee he'll regain consciousness.

You are to bring him around whatever it takes!

Is that perfectly clear, Appule?

Yes...

Otherwise, my condition will be critical...

Cool... All clear...

This is my chance... None of the bad guys are nearby!

Krillin and Gohan have made their move

to take two of the Dragon Balls out of play.

But with Frieza's men still on the prowl,

Vegeta on the mend,

and Goku on his way to Planet Namek–

this game is far from over!

Next Dragon Ball Z Kai!

Hey! It's me, Goku!

Sorry, I'm a little confused.

Remind me: Who's got how many Dragon Balls?

Frieza has five, so he's got the most.

But Krillin has one, and if I find the last of 'em,

we can stop the bad guys!

Dream on! I'll be the lucky one today!

Get ready to answer for what you've done to me, Zarbon!

Next time, on Dragon Ball Z Kai:

I think it's about time to turn this baby up to one-hundred!

The Scheme is Shattered!

Vegeta Strikes Back at Zarbon!
