[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z!

Gohan, Bulma and Krillin were on their way to Planet Namek,

when they were taken hostage by a militant group of refugees.

These heavily armed soldiers believed our three heroes

to be allies of Frieza,

who had recently destroyed their home planet.

[BULMA whimpering]

[NARRATOR] After a few tense moments,

the case of mistaken identity was cleared,

and the leader of the group told the horrifying tale

of his planet's destruction.

Frieza's henchmen had descended upon his world

and destroyed everything in their path.

They were cruel and merciless, with a power even more terrible

than that of the Saiyans!

[NARRATOR] But as awful as this story was,

there was little time for our heroes to ponder

the identity of these mysterious marauders.

For as soon as they resumed their journey to Namek,

they had problems of their own to worry about!

[NARRATOR] Bulma's travel plans landed the ship

right in the middle of a fierce interstellar storm

caused by a recently exploded nebula!

Then, as the ship was thrown clear of the turbulence...

[BULMA] Yes! It's Namek! We finally made it!

Are you sure that's...

[GOHAN] Planet Namek?

[BULMA] Trust me, it's the right planet.

Now, let's go and find those Dragon Balls!

We're about to start our descent.

Strap yourselves in nice and tight.

It's gonna be a rough landing.

[GOHAN] Right.

Brace yourselves!

It looks like we've got a rough ride ahead of us!

[GOHAN and KRILLIN yelling]

[ALL whimpering]

[BULMA] We made it! And in one piece!

[GOHAN] Great! I can't wait to see how it looks!

But, there's a lot of fog right now.

[KRILLIN] Yeah.

Are you sure this is Planet Namek?

It better be.

Yeah, but...

Oh, are you trying to say that I don't know how

to navigate a spaceship? Is that it?!

No, Bulma. I just want to be sure!

Come on! Spit it out!

The Dragon Radar could tell us

what planet we're on, you know.

He's right!

Fine... I can't believe you don't trust me.

[BULMA gasps]

[ALL screaming]

Uh, hello.

[laughing]

Looks like she's awake now.

Who are you?

[RAITI] I'm Raiti.

You're looking at the worst doctor on this planet.

Very funny... Pay no attention to Zaacro.

He's been a thorn in my side for three hundred years.

What? Three hundred years?!

[ZAACRO] Nice to meet you, Miss.

Heh, heh, heh, heh...

That's the greeting on this planet.

Oh... Likewise.

You know... You should feel very lucky

that we happened to find you when we did...

I was able to treat your injuries in time to save you,

but it was close.

All three of you were near death.

Thanks for saving us.

Hey, come on guys. Time to wake up. We've got to get going.

Uh, hey!

[KRILLIN] Nice to meet you.

[BULMA] This is Planet Namek, right?

[RAITI] Sure is.

You guys look very familiar to me...

Have you ever been to Earth before?

No, Krillin... They just happen to look like Piccolo.

You know we'd like to help you find your Dragon Balls.

[gasping]

How'd you know that?

[RAITI chuckling]

[ALL gasping]

[ALL gasping]

We know just about everything

there is to know about you guys.

Well, if there's one species capable of doing that...

It would definitely be a Namek.

Don't worry, you can trust us.

We won't take advantage of you.

Do you know what happened to our spaceship?

Yes. It's safe. We put it in our storage garage.

[ZAACRO] Here it is.

[BULMA] Oh, look how banged up it is!

I'm glad it's still in one piece.

[ZAACRO] Me, too.

[GOHAN] Are you always this nice to complete strangers?

[RAITI] Only with the ones we like.

Heh. Then I guess it's a wonderful thing

that we're on your good side, eh? Thanks for your help.

[RAITI and ZAACRO chuckling]

Look, guys! I got a signal!

[KRILLIN] Oh, that's great!

[GOHAN and KRILLIN laughing]

Check this out!

It looks like we've got three Dragon Balls

in the immediate area.

[KRILLIN] Lucky us!

[GOHAN] Let's start looking now!

If we hurry, we could find them all by the end of the day.

[KRILLIN] Yeah! Let's do it!

[BULMA] You gotta love Capsule Corp.!

[GOHAN] Yeah!

[RAITI] I wouldn't take that if I were you.

[BULMA] What?

The outlying territories are teeming with hundred foot tall,

five hundred ton monsters,

that wouldn't think twice of stepping on your little car.

It's highly recommended that everyone travel by air.

Trust me!

Monsters?

[roaring]

[KRILLIN whimpering]

Uh... Bulma?

Well, I'm in a good mood.

I'll take you there myself in the Wukong.

[BULMA] Wukong?

[engine puttering]

[puttering continues]

[whimpering]

Now, be honest... What do you think?

Isn't my Wukong one beast of a ship?

[BULMA] Jackpot!

Excuse me! The Radar--

It says the Dragon Ball is right below us!

No problem. Wukong, start your descent right now!

[ALL screaming]

[hammer clanking]

It's gonna take a miracle to get this ship fully repaired.

Any luck?

[GOHAN] Not yet.

[BULMA] Keep searching. It's got to be around here somewhere!

You can rest if you want...

You've helped us out enough already.

No worries.

I really have nothing better to do now, anyway.

Well, thank you...

Back on earth we're having a bit of a crisis

without the Dragon Balls in our possession.

But you already know that, right?

Yup.

The Radar is telling me the Dragon Ball

should be ten yards out that way.

You find it?

[KRILLIN] Uh-uh, uh-uhh.

We're having trouble holding our breath long enough.

[GOHAN] It's not easy. The river is really deep.

Well, the Dragon Radar has never given

a false reading yet. Hey... Where's Raiti?

[RAITI] Got it!

[KRILLIN] Ha-haa!

[GOHAN] Yeah!

Here it is!

Ha, ha, ha! All right!

What happened?!

[SUBORDINATE] Uh, well, sir, we don't know!

All his readings are in the green.

[SUBORDINATE] He's fully conscious now!

[VEGETA] Kakarot!

[APE GOHAN roaring]

[VEGETA thinking] I don't get it.

I'm much stronger than him in battle!

Yet, I'm the one taking on all the damage!

It's as if his power has increased ten-fold!

[GOKU] Haah!

[CHICHI screams]

[PATIENT yells]

Uh?

What are you doing?! You almost hit me!

Ouch, that hurt.

Why can't you just lay there

and sleep like a normal patient?!

You're bothering everyone!

Because I'm not a normal patient!

I'm a fighter! I need to get out of this place!

Oh, Goku. Stop talking like such a tough guy!

You're injured, and the only way you're gonna get better

is if you just lay here and stay quiet.

Is that gonna be for me?

Goku, do you really think

you'll be able to fit into this?

I could at least try.

[RAITI] These are ruins from a city that existed

five thousand years ago.

[KRILLIN] That's amazing!

Okay, according to the Radar,

the second Dragon Ball should be fifty meters from us.

Bulma, look. There.

You see it?

[KRILLIN] There're some stairs leading below.

[BULMA] Yeah, the signal's getting stronger.

Let's check it out, then.

[BULMA] Come on, let's follow him.

[KRILLIN] Right behind you.

[GOHAN] Wow. These drawings must be from

the ancient Namek people.

[KRILLIN] Are you sure?

Because these drawings don't look like normal Nameks,

unless they've changed over the years. Could that be?

Well, no two Nameks look alike.

[KRILLIN] We're inside of a tomb, aren't we?

[GOHAN] There may be a treasure down here!

We're getting really close now, guys.

[BULMA] Here it is.

Ah! Be careful!

[stammering in fear]

[BULMA screaming]

Okay! Two down and one Dragon Ball to go!

He's really nice, isn't he?

Yeah, you don't see that much on Earth...

Someone willing to help a complete stranger.

But that's exactly what I find suspicious.

We should be careful, because for all we know,

he's just using us so that once we get all seven Dragon Balls,

he can steal them!

No way.

It's below us now.

Could you set the ship down softly, please?

Setting down!

[BULMA squealing]

[BULMA] That's strange.

[RAITI] What's the matter?

Somehow the Dragon Ball is moving.

[BULMA] Woah!

Are you okay, Bulma?

[BULMA] I'm okay, but my Radar is telling--

Huh?

[BULMA screams]

Can I have that, please?

[BULMA whimpering]

[BULMA] Wait! Come back!

[KRILLIN] Bulma!

[BULMA] Give me back that Dragon Ball!

It can't understand a word you're saying!

[RAITI] Wait, stop!

[BULMA] What are you doing?!

We mustn't go any further into the forest!

We have to hurry! He's getting away!

Why did you stop me? We lost him!

It's much too dangerous to go on foot from here.

Huh?

Oh, that's just great!

Why did you let him get away?!

You're planning on stealing the Dragon Balls

from us, aren't you?! Tell me the truth!

I-I wouldn't think of such a thing.

I'm keeping my eye on you.

Something funny's going on here,

and I'm gonna figure it out.

[distant roaring]

That didn't sound normal... Something's happened to it.

[RAITI] Let's find out.

[RAITI] The sound we heard most likely came from here.

[KRILLIN] Whoa! Is that a skeleton?

[RAITI] It must be the monster we just saw.

This swamp can melt any living creature in seconds.

Why, I've heard tales that even the fumes

can kill a Namek from a single breath!

Is that right? Now I see why you stopped me before.

I'm sorry I yelled at you. I had no idea.

[RAITI] I just didn't want you to get hurt.

You're too nice!

[KRILLIN] Hey guys, we've got a problem here.

Since the monster is obviously dead in the swamp...

Then that means the Dragon Ball

must be somewhere on the bottom!

And if that swamp melts us instantly,

then how are we gonna get it back?

It's impossible.

Are you sure?

We do have a protective body suit

we use for underwater operations.

But the material it's made of

is not strong enough to handle the swamp.

After about 20 seconds, it begins to rapidly melt.

I'm gonna do it.

[ALL] What?

We have to retrieve the Dragon Ball

at all costs, isn't that right?

Well, yeah, I guess so, but I--

So, all I have to do is surface within 20 seconds to be safe.

Come on, it's at least worth a try!

Oh, I know!

We'll tie a special rope to him and pull him out

before twenty seconds is up.

Then we can be sure you get out safely.

That's a good idea.

Okay, then let's get to it.

It says the Dragon Ball is directly below us...

Just be quick.

We'll start pulling you up at thirteen seconds, okay?

Right.

[ALL] Three...

Four... Five...

Oh no!

I underestimated how potent the water was going to be!

[BULMA] Gohan!

[KRILLIN] Gohan!

[thinking] That was easier than I thought.

All right, pull me up, Raiti...

Oh no, the rope!

I'm gonna have to hurry!

[thinking] I'm running out of time!

It's gonna eat right through the suit!

[thinking] I can't hold on any longer!

Flashing Attack!

Haah!

Gohan...

[GOHAN grunting]

[BOTH] Gohan!

Got it!

Yeah!

Awesome!

Easy! You're squeezing too hard.

[NARRATOR] Though they have found three

of the seven Dragon Balls,

each one has been more difficult to retrieve.

And far away, Vegeta slowly awakens

from his recuperating slumber.

Will revenge be on his mind?

Find out on the next Dragon Ball Z!
