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

Tragedy struck, when Goku's evil older brother, Raditz,

kidnapped Gohan!

Daddy! Help me! Daddy!

[NARRATOR] Goku raced after the sinister Saiyan

to take back his son.

But with little hope of overpowering Raditz alone,

he had no choice but to accept the help

of a most unlikely ally...

Goku has joined forces

with one of his most dangerous enemies... Piccolo!

[RADITZ] Hm...

Well, well, well.

Look who's decided to drop in.

It's little brother.

Oh, and he's brought the green man with him.

I was wondering who that second insignificant blip

on my scouter might be...

[NARRATOR] Radtiz was far from intimidated

when confronted by the Earth's two greatest fighters.

In a flash, he gave them a demonstration

of his own power that proved, even together,

Goku and Piccolo had little chance for victory.

Raditz's otherworldly strength and speed

already make him the most powerful opponent

Goku or Piccolo has ever faced.

But this, it seems, is only the tip of the iceberg.

If you think I'm strong now, wait until I catch my stride.

The truth is, I'm just getting warmed up.

[NARRATOR] Is there any hope of defeating this deadly foe?

Find out, today!

[RADITZ] I'll tell you what...

Seeing as how your power levels are more or less equal,

why don't we make a little game out of this?

We'll call it,

"Which of you can last against me the longest."

The rules are simple.

I cause you both a great deal of pain,

and you writhe around in agony.

The loser is the first to beg for mercy.

That's it... I don't care how strong he is.

I'm not going to stand here and listen to this.

I would prefer to die!

[laughs]

Don't you worry about it green man,

we'll get to that in due time!

Hey, don't get ahead of yourself.

You haven't beaten us yet.

Trust me, Kakarot. I know an easy win when I see one.

I'm a Saiyan! It's what I do.

[PICCOLO] Come on, Goku. Let's finish this guy!

We'll charge him together!

Wait... Not yet...

Not until he tells us what he's done with Gohan...

Now, where is he? Where have you hidden him?

Right... Your little son...

You think you're going to save him?

Who's getting ahead of himself now?

This is the last time I'm going ask you!

Where is my son?!

[RADITZ] Spare me the fatherly dramatics.

You can have a last look at him if you want.

He's locked inside my space pod, behind you.

Ah!

[cries]

Gohan...

Daddy, help! Please, Daddy!

Get me out!

Be strong, Gohan!

I'll be down to help you in a minute. Just hold on!

[RADITZ] Ha! You'll be down all right...

But you won't be helping anybody!

You should say your goodbyes though!

You won't get another chance.

No. I won't lose.

All right. Let's do this!

[RADITZ chuckles]

[GOKU and PICCOLO yell]

[GOKU and PICCOLO yell]

Heh.

[chuckles]

[GOKU and PICCOLO yell]

Where did he go?!

Right here!

Heh!

[RADITZ chuckles]

[RADITZ] What's the matter with you two?

You could at least try to make better sport of it than this!

You don't want me to get bored, do you?

[GOKU groans]

Piccolo, are you alright?

Ah!

[PICCOLO groans]

Don't worry about it. It's not as bad as it looks...

I'm not out of this fight yet.

[RADITZ laughs]

Oh, excuse me, has anyone seen my arm?

[RADITZ laughs]

You can't miss it... It's green!

[RADITZ laughs]

Uh... How we doin', Bulma? We getting close?

[BULMA] I think so.

But I'd need the Dragon Radar to know for sure.

I just hope Goku's doing all right.

I've got a terrible feeling about all this.

Well, at least we know that with Piccolo,

his chances are about as good as they can get.

But the fact that he's with Piccolo

is what worries me the most!

I mean, he's one of the bad guys!

For all we know, he's already teamed up with

Raditz and blasted Goku--Oh...

Goku can't beat Raditz alone,

and I doubt any of us could be much help...

So we might as well put our faith in Piccolo.

If he can't help Goku, or won't,

then there's no one else who can.

[KRILLIN sighs]

[KRILLIN thinking] Good luck, Goku.

Come on, now.

Surely that pathetic excuse for an attack

wasn't the best you could do.

Okay, Goku. If you have any new techniques

you've been waiting to use, now's the time.

Heh, heh... Sorry... I wish I did!

Hmph! You slacker...

While you've been taking it easy,

I've been developing a new attack!

[RADITZ] Fools! Haven't you figured it out yet?

All of your planning is futile!

Whisper all you want, but you're still going to die!

So you think this attack of yours has enough power

to do some damage, Piccolo?

Yes!

And can you do it with only one arm?

[PICCOLO] Yeah, that's no problem.

The problem is,

it takes me a while to gather the energy for it.

[RADITZ chuckles]

So, you'll have to last against him alone

for five minutes. It's your decision.

All right... If you're sure it'll work, I'll hold him off.

Well, the truth is it's untested...

I've never tried it against an opponent.

I was hoping to save it for a special occasion.

It's the attack I planned to use to defeat you.

[GOKU] I see, and now you're using it to help me.

You must be terribly disappointed.

[PICCOLO] No. This will be a good test.

And if it works, I'll be using it on you next.

Ha, ha. Figures.

You know, that wasn't actually intended to be funny.

[RADITZ thinking] What are they laughing at?

Planning something clever, no doubt.

I guess I'll be sure to watch out the next time we meet.

But for now, wish me luck.

All right. Do your best, Goku!

[GOKU yells]

[PICCOLO grunts]

Heh.

[RADITZ thinking] It's about time.

[PICCOLO grunts]

Huh? He's persistent!

Kaaameee!

Impossible! His power level is sky rocketing!

900! 950!

Haaa!

But how?

He knows how to raise his power level

by concentrating his energy onto one spot!

[GOKU] Meee!

[beeping]

What?

His power level has gone up as well!

It's over a thousand!

Unbelievable! And it's still going up!

[GOKU] Haaaa!

[GOKU grunts]

Enough of this!

[RADITZ yells]

[RADITZ grunts]

Ah! He cancelled it out!

Piccolo had better hurry.

Brother! I'll show you how it's done!

[RADITZ yells]

[GOKU whimpers]

Let... me... out!

[GOKU groans]

[RADITZ gasps]

[PICCOLO laughs]

Let's see you stop this one...

[PICCOLO grunts]

How foolish!

I underestimated these guys!

Power Level 1330? I can't block that!

[PICCOLO laughs]

Alright then, green man! Let's see what you've got!

It's all yours! Special Beam Cannon!

Ah!

[RADITZ grunts]

[PICCOLO grunts]

He... He dodged it!

He's faster than the... The speed of light!

My, that was quite an impressive little trick!

Look how easily it pierced my armor! Heh.

It's lucky for me your aim needs a little work.

[PICCOLO] Darn it! All for nothing!

Now, I had a little trick that I had wanted to share with you.

Remember?

It's the one I was going to show you when we first met!

Yeah, I know...

Do you remember the name?

Double Sunday!

[RADITZ yells]

[RADITZ grunts]

[GOKU laughs]

You were careless!

[GOKU laughs]

I'll never forget how much my tail hurt

when someone squeezed it!

[RADITZ groans]

You shouldn't do that!

Piccolo!

Do you think you can manage that attack one more time?

[PICCOLO] Yes, Goku! With pleasure!

I see you had a surprise attack after all, you sly dog!

Now hold him tight, this is the last time I can do this!

Kakarot, please tell me

you're not going to go through with this!

I am your brother!

Brother? Don't be ridiculous.

You kidnapped my son and you tried to kill me.

And, if I remember right,

you said you were going to exterminate every human

on this planet.

I was bluffing!

I would have done or said anything to get you to join us.

I swear it!

[PICCOLO] Don't listen to him Goku!

He'll say anything to get loose!

[GOKU grunts]

[RADITZ] I was never going to kill you or the boy...

Once I was sure that I couldn't persuade you to join us,

I was going to leave this planet, for good!

And that's the truth...

I could never hurt my own flesh and blood, I swear...

I swear it, Kakarot!

Do you promise to leave?

[RADITZ] Yes, of course! It's over!

I'll tell the others that you won't join!

No, Goku! He's trying to trick you! Don't let him go!

I'll never come back to this planet again! I promise!

[RADITZ groans]

No, Goku!

[RADITZ chuckles]

[GOKU groans]

[RADITZ laughs]

You've always been way too trusting, Goku.

[RADITZ laughs]

Fool! Ha, ha, ha, ha!

How could you?

You're a rare breed indeed, my brother!

Just a sentimental dope!

You're way too soft to be a Saiyan Warrior!

Ahh!

No fair!

You're right, Kakarot,

but I myself am a first class warrior

and I won't hesitate to kill even my own brother if need be!

Now say goodbye!

[GOKU groans]

[GOKU screams]

[GOHAN] Daddy?

Aaahhhhh!

[RADITZ] Come on! I want to hear you beg! Beg for mercy!

[RADITZ laughs]

[GOKU screams]

[RADITZ] Hmph! What are you waiting for?

Go ahead and try that little trick of yours again!

Or can't you handle it?

[PICCOLO grunts]

It's no use! I need more time!

[RADITZ grunts]

[GOKU screams]

Oh, daddy...

[CHICHI hums]

[CHICHI] ♪ La, la, la, la, la, la... ♪

♪ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la... ♪

Hm?

[giggles]

Gohan was supposed to show me his test grade

the day he got it back.

He's so good at math,

I think I will push him into the sciences.

It'd be neat to have an astronaut in the family.

And who knows? If he works hard enough,

he might even get to travel to other planets someday!

Hmm.. That rice is going to be ready in a few minutes.

I wish those two would hurry up and get back.

[GOKU screams]

[RADITZ] Come on, Kakarot!

I want to hear you beg!

Go on. Just say Uncle!

[RADITZ laughs]

Uncle! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Just look at that fool...

Why so blue, Green Man?

Is it because you're powerless to help your friend?

Or 'cause you're just plain ugly?

[RADITZ chuckles]

Aaaahhhh!

[RADITZ] I guess your not going to beg for me...

Aww... You're such a disappointment, brother.

Time to die!

[beeping] Huh?!

I'm picking up an enormous power level!

[RADITZ] There's nothing there!

Huh?!

What?!

[NARRATOR] Unable to bear his father's torture any longer,

Gohan has erupted from Raditz' space pod

in a sudden explosion of anger!

But what is the source of the boy's newfound strength?

And will it be enough to help Goku?

Find out... When Gohan attacks!

On the next Dragon Ball Z!
