Wait!

[NARRATOR] Last time, on Dragon Ball Z!

Gohan's transformation brought the battle with Vegeta

to its crushing conclusion!

With his body and his pride seriously wounded,

the evil Saiyan had no choice but to retreat.

And Krillin had little choice but to watch him go!

When, I come back to this planet...

you're all going to suffer,

and when you beg me for mercy...

I'll stare into your eyes as I crush the life out of you.

[NARRATOR] Krillin proved himself the bigger man

by showing Vegeta mercy.

But will this decision come back to haunt him?

There's only one way to find out...

Stay tuned for more Dragon Ball Z!

[thinking] Go... Just go! Don't come back...

[KRILLIN] Gohan...

Hey there, little guy...

Come on... It's gonna be all right.

[GOKU] Krillin... Bring him over here. Let me see him.

How're you, Yajirobe? Oh, I'm fine...

Don't bother to give me a hand or anything.

[GOKU] How... How is he?

Oh, he's a little banged up,

but mostly I think he's just exhausted.

Transforming into a giant ape

isn't exactly as easy as it looks, you know.

[BOTH] Huh?

[engine roaring in the distance]

Great. Now what?

[ROSHI] Hey! Hello down there! Krillin! Goku!

[ROSHI laughing]

[KRILLIN laughing]

[CHICHI] Gohan!

ChiChi?

[CHICHI] What are you waiting for?!

My baby needs me! Open that door!

[CHICHI] Gohan!

[CHICHI] I'm coming, son!

[CHICHI] Mommy's here!

[KRILLIN] Wait, Chichi!

[CHICHI] I was so worried... It's okay...

I'm here now! I won't let anything happen to you...

Oh, Gohan... Please, say something...

He'll be all right, ChiChi...

But, did you see Goku over there?

I don't want to scare you, but he's in pretty bad shape.

If you're going to worry about anyone, well...

My poor little boy... What did those bad men do to you?

I promise, I'm never letting you out of my sight again!

Oh, Gohan...

[thinking] Sheesh! It's not like he's her husband or anything.

[BULMA] Goku?

Hey, boy...

Oh, no...

[BULMA] How are you? Can you move at all?

[ROSHI] Easy now, Bulma...

Sorry if I can't get up to say hello...

That's all right... Rest now...

You've done enough for one day.

Oh, Master Korin...

[KRILLIN] Uh, I'm afraid I've got some bad news, guys...

Bulma, you know, there's no easy way to say this...

But, Yamcha, well, he...

He didn't make it.

Yes, I know... He fought bravely, didn't he?

Oh! So then, uh, I guess you know about Piccolo and Kami...

They're gone, too, and that means,

so are the Dragon Balls.

We won't be able to wish anyone back...

[BULMA] Shut up! I said I already know!

[BULMA sobbing]

I-I'm really sorry...

Yes, me too...

It's too bad. If only Piccolo and Kami had survived...

Hey, I'm still here!

[BULMA] Yeah?! Well, I hope you're proud of yourself!

You were hiding the whole time!

Sneaking around like a coward while everyone was dying!

Hey! That's not true!

[BULMA] You're useless! Where were you when they needed you?!

You should have died! Not Yamcha! You!

[BULMA wailing]

You should be thanking me!

I'm the one who cut off that Saiyan creep's tail, y'know!

Jeez, you stick your neck out for people...

And this is what you get!

Now, now. This is no time

to start fighting amongst ourselves.

We need to get Goku to the hospital...

I'm all out of Senzu beans.

Hmmph.

[ROSHI] Okay, up we go... Gently...

[BULMA crying]

[engines roaring to life]

[BULMA sobbing]

Where are the others at, Krillin?

We need to go pick them up, too...

That way... We were fighting just over there...

Huh?

[BULMA sobbing]

[KRILLIN] Listen, um, Bulma?

I've been thinking... And I don't know.

It's probably impossible, but...

But still... as long as there's a chance,

I gotta say something...

Huh?

I can't get it out of my head.

It's--It's something that...

Well, it's something that the Saiyans told us...

There might still be a way to bring Yamcha back!

[ALL gasping]

What? What do you mean?

Are you sure?

I-I don't know. It's a shot in a million...

That's okay, Krillin...

One chance in a million is better than no chance at all.

Don't be afraid... Tell us your idea...

Well, you see, uh... Hey, hold on. This is the spot.

Yamcha and the others are down there...

We'll talk later, okay?

[ROSHI] Mm-hmm...

Krillin... Where's Chiaotzu?

I thought we'd find him here, too...

[KRILLIN] No. You won't find him.

Chiaotzu blew himself up. He was trying to save us.

[KORIN] What a tragedy. Such a shameful, senseless loss.

It's never easy, seeing such brave young men

cut down in their prime of their lives.

I know... I wish there was something I could have done.

I should have been with them!

[BULMA] Here...

You better let me fly...

Really, I'm okay now.

Oh... Are you?

[thinking] Oh, Yamcha...

[BULMA] Would you mind closing your eyes for a second?

[YAMCHA] Is she really gonna kiss me?

[BULMA] You are so dead!

[YAMCHA yelling]

[YAMCHA] I know I let you down. I'm sorry.

[BULMA] Don't say that. You didn't let anyone down.

You did your best. Everybody knows that!

[BULMA whimpering]

[YAMCHA] I'm really anxious to show these guys

what we're all about down here on this planet!

[YAMCHA screaming]

No... I failed!

[PICCOLO screaming]

Oh, Gohan! Good! You're awake!

Uh... Uwaah!

It's okay... You're safe now.

I've got you.

Uh? Mom? Is that really you?

[CHICHI wailing]

That's right! Mommy's here! My sweet, little boy!

I never thought I'd see you again!

Don't worry about a thing, son... It's all over now.

Yeah. We did it, Gohan.

[GOHAN] We did? So, what happened to Vegeta?

Well, I guess you could say he... he got away.

But, listen!

The important thing is, we ran that creep back

to wherever it is he came from!

That's all that matters, right?

What about Dad?

[GOKU] I'm okay, Gohan... I'm right here...

You did great today, son.

We really showed him, didn't we?

[GOHAN and GOKU chuckling]

[YAJIROBE] Hey, ChiChi... What the heck's goin' on here?

Goku just came back from the dead and saved the world,

and you've hardly even looked at him!

He's your husband!

Aren't you at least gonna say hello?

What? Say hello? Oh no...

I don't have a single thing to say to that man right now.

It's his fault my baby almost got killed!

Mom! But the Saiyans were gonna destroy the Earth!

They can blow up the universe for all I care!

That's no excuse for putting my little boy's life at risk!

[YAJIROBE] Man, Goku... Your wife is crazy!

Hey, Krillin... What were you going to tell us?

About the Saiyans?

Oh, yeah, okay...

Eh?

The way I understand it... Well...

The Saiyans found out about the Dragon Balls,

and they wanted to use them to make a wish.

That's why they came to Earth.

They were ready to kill all of us...

Except they wanted Piccolo alive.

They were convinced he was the only one

that could lead them to the Dragon Balls.

What, really?

Yeah... And the whole time, they kept calling him this..

This really weird name...

They called him a Namek.

[ALL gasping]

I think Namek is where they're from...

I mean, Piccolo and Kami, they're aliens!

Well, I always said they were funny lookin'.

Then when Goku was coming, they said something else...

Nappa! Quickly! Kill them all!

[NAPPA] But, what about the Dragon Balls?

[VEGETA] We don't need those fools to find them!

It's clear to me now!

A Namekian is all we need to make the Dragon Balls,

and Planet Namek is loaded with them!

And you believed them? You dope.

[GOHAN] No, you're right, Krillin!

I mean, if Kami made the Dragon Balls, and he's a Namek,

why couldn't other Nameks do the same thing?

Exactly, and maybe they already have...

Vegeta said he'd heard legends about Dragon Balls on Namek...

He never believed them.

But what if they're really true?

Then, that's it!

If you can somehow get to Namek,

you can use their Dragon Balls to wish your friends back!

And we can wish Piccolo back first!

Now, Gohan, you shouldn't get too excited...

That's a great idea!

And if Piccolo comes back, then so will Kami!

And that means we'll have all the Dragon Balls

here on Earth back again, too!

Well, it's definitely worth a shot!

Besides, what have we got to lose? Let's go to Namek!

[KRILLIN] All in favor, say "Aye"!

[ALL] Aye!

[ALL laughing]

[BULMA] Just stop it, you guys! It's pointless...

I wish it was really as simple as that,

but it just isn't! It won't work.

[KRILLIN] What? What do you mean? What's the problem?

Krillin, think about it...

For starters, do any of you have even the slightest clue

where Planet Namek is?

[GOKU] Hey, wait...

I have an idea... King Kai, are you there?

I hope you're listening...

We could really use your help right now.

[KING KAI] Yes, Goku. I'm here.

So, you're looking for the Planet Namek?

Well, of course I know where that is!

Um, say you guys... Is anyone else hearing voices?

Or is my old age finally catching up with me?

Thanks, King Kai... I knew I could count on you.

Go ahead, we're listening.

Sure, but as long as I have the podium for a minute...

Let me congratulate you all on a battle well fought.

I was worried there for a while.

It looked like that Saiyan really had you guys

on the ropes! But you pulled through!

[GOKU] I hate to say it,

but he even had me a little scared.

I mean, even a Kaio Ken times four attack

wasn't enough to stop him!

Yes, and those were my best techniques, too.

I hope you can think of something

before you have to face him again...

I'm sorry, but I'm all out of tricks.

Yeah, I was afraid you'd say that...

Maybe I shouldn't have let him go...

Only time will tell...

What? What are they talking about?

You mean you actually let that Saiyan go?

Oh, well, I'll tell you the whole story later...

[KING KAI] Hmm... Now where is it...

I'm sure I have the coordinates

for Planet Namek in here somewhere...

'Kay... There's Planet Nambo, Namcheck, Namcheno...

Planet Namee... Ah yes! Here it is!

The co-ordinates are SW-66. Or maybe SU-83...

No, no! 9-0-4-5 XY, definitely!

What? Is he serious? 9-0-4-5 XY? But that's...

Um, what's the matter?

We know where it is now... That's good!

Hey! Master Roshi! I need to check something out...

Take the wheel for a minute!

You could say please...

9-0-4-5 XY... Hmm...

[KING KAI] I remember...

Planet Namek was once a very beautiful place.

It was very much like the Earth...

Lush and green, with an abundance of life.

But that was long ago...

Before a catastrophic event caused the climate to change.

The effects on the planet were devastating.

It has recovered over time, little by little.

But I'm not sure there were any survivors...

But... Oh no.

See? Told ya'... It's just a pipe dream.

There's no Dragon Balls.

Can it!

Let's not give up hope yet...

There's really only one way we can know for sure...

I'll have to feel it out...

Just give me a moment...

Oh! There it is!

Say... You know... If what King Kai says is true,

this might explain how it is that Kami ever came

to live upon the Earth...

Yes... It must've been so long ago

that Kami couldn't remember.

But perhaps his people sent him here

after the climate on Namek changed,

so that at least one of their race would survive!

I don't get it...

If these Namekians really had a set of Dragon Balls

like you guys say...

Don't you think they woulda' used 'em?

I mean, they coulda' just wished their planet

back to normal. Problem solved.

[ROSHI] No... Maybe they couldn't.

The Dragon is not all-powerful...

We found out when we tried to destroy

the Saiyans with a wish,

Shenron told us it wasn't possible.

You see, the Dragon Balls are tied

to the one who created them.

And, they cannot grant a wish

that exceeds their maker's power.

Oh, that's a load'a hooey...

You're makin' it up...

You just don't wanna admit that you're wrong. Yeah...

Urgh!

Hey! I thought I told you to can it, stupid!

[KING KAI] Good news, everyone!

I found the Namekians!

I can sense about a hundred of them still on the planet,

alive and well!

You call that good news?

You're talkin' about a hundred Piccolos here!

Even if the Dragon Balls did exist,

you'd have to fight all those guys to get 'em!

[KING KAI] No, no, no. It's not like that at all!

The Namekians are basically peaceful by nature, like Kami!

Piccolo was the exception to the rule.

[KING KAI] You have to remember,

Piccolo was born there on Earth.

And during his formative years,

he witnessed firsthand all of the horrors of that world...

War, tyranny, murder...

These experiences took their toll...

Piccolo was not born evil.

Rather, it was the evil of men that corrupted

his otherwise peaceful Namekian heart.

I guess that makes sense..

People can be pretty disgusting sometimes...

You said it...

Well, I can't think of a better way

to show Piccolo the good in people

than by using the Dragon Balls to wish him back!

[BULMA] Not so fast, guys...

You just don't get it, do you?

Nothing's changed. So what if we know where Planet Namek is.

How do we get there?

[KRILLIN] Is this a trick question?

I mean, we just take a spaceship! Easy as that!

Oh, easy as that? Well, I've got news for you!

I just calculated how long it would take us to make the trip

using the best Capsule Corp spaceship available!

And do you wanna take a wild guess what I came up with?

What's that? No idea? Then allow me to show you.

Here... See? The numbers don't lie.

Your little cruise to Namek is gonna take 4339 years!

That's one way!

[GOHAN] Wow. That's long.

What do you think, King Kai?

Any ideas on how we can get there?

No, I'm afraid I'm stumped on that one...

Sheesh... They expect me to know everything?

[KRILLIN laughing]

Okay. So you got me there, Bulma. It's impossible...

But, hypothetically speaking,

what would happen if we used a Saiyan spaceship?

Hm?!

There's an idea. But where are we gonna get one of those?

I thought the Saiyans left.

[KRILLIN] Well, Vegeta left.

And it looked like his ship was only big enough for one person.

There's absolutely no way that Nappa guy

could've squeezed in there with him.

He had to've had a ship of his own!

Hey! That's right!

And what about my brother Raditz? He had a ship, too!

But I think it's prob'ly broken after what Gohan did to it...

Okay! So there's one spaceship left out there!

Now, all we have to do is figure out where it is,

and we're in business!

Well, then... I bet I know just where to start looking.

It's most likely not too far

from where the Saiyans first landed,

somewhere in East City!

[KRILLIN laughing]

Hey, I think I have something that might help.

Check it out! Vegeta dropped it...

I saw him punch a couple a' buttons... And then boom!

His spaceship came right to him!

I think it's a remote control or something...

[BULMA] Lemme see that!

Hmm...

[BULMA giggling]

Pack your bags! We're going to Namek!

[ALL laughing]

[BULMA] We'll have Yamcha and everyone back in no time!

[ALL laughing]

[ALL] Namek! Here we come!

[laughing continues]

[NARRATOR] A day of sorrow has become a bright day of hope,

as our heroes prepare to embark on a bold, new adventure!

It's Planet Namek or bust!

Next time on Dragon Ball Z!
