[NARRATOR] Last time on Dragon Ball Z!

Vegeta launched an all-out attack

against the brutish Recoome,

but the Saiyan Prince's strength was no match

for the might of the Ginyu Force...

Fortunately, Krillin and Gohan were standing by at the ready!

But even though Vegeta was spared

the brunt of Recoome's blast,

Krillin's counter-attack had little effect.

Fool!

Hey! Jeice! Burter!

Can I kill this one, too?

[NARRATOR] And then the unthinkable...

Krillin fell!

It's... all right... It's time to face the facts.

The Dragon Balls are gone...

[NARRATOR] Now, with Krillin and Vegeta out of commission,

only one fighter remains to challenge the evil Recoome.

You stay away!

I-I'm not gonna let you hurt my friend any more!

[RECOOME] Let me get this straight, little man.

You're gonna stop me?

You think you're tough, don't you?

Well, come on then, let's see what you've got!

[GOHAN growls]

[GOHAN growling]

[RECOOME guffaws]

[JEICE] Ugh. We should've kept our turn...

[BURTER] Aw, let Recoome have him.

I mean, it hardly seems worth it now.

This kid won't put up much of a fight on his own.

Gohan...

[VEGETA pants]

[GOHAN growls]

[GOHAN shouts]

[GOHAN grunting]

You had your fun, kid?

[RECOOME grunts]

[GOHAN wailing]

[RECOOME guffaws]

Huh! Rah!

Comin' at ya!

[GOHAN yells]

[GOHAN growls]

Masenko Haaaaa!

[RECOOME grunts]

Not bad...

Yeah! For a second there,

the kid's power went up over 20,000!

[KRILLIN] Gohan...

[RECOOME chuckles]

[GOHAN gasps]

[RECOOME guffaws]

Aw, don't sweat it, kid!

I don't mind gettin' my hands dirty.

Not when there's killing involved.

[RECOOME guffaws]

[GOHAN growls]

[RECOOME chuckles]

[GOHAN yells]

[GOHAN screams]

[RECOOME shouts]

[GOHAN grunting]

[ChiChi] Oh no... Gohan!

[MRS. BRIEF] ChiChi? Did you say something?

Is everything all right, dear?

[ChiChi] I-It's my Gohan...

He's in trouble. I just know it!

Ahh. Oh...

[ChiChi] He... He's lost without me...

I have to do something!

Don't worry yourself too much.

I'm sure Gohan is doing just fine.

After all, he's got my Bulma to take care of him!

[MRS. BRIEF giggles]

[ChiChi] Dr. Brief! I need that ship!

[DR. BRIEF] Oh, ChiChi! Good, you're just in time!

I was just putting on the finishing touches!

She's a beauty, isn't she?

I had all the plans worked out from the first one,

so putting this one together was a snap!

I even managed to get the cappuccino maker

installed this ti--

All that's left to do now is test her out!

[CHICHI] Mommy's coming, Gohan! Mommy's coming!

Just hold on! I'm coming!

[DR. BRIEF] ChiChi? Maybe you'd better let me just show you

how to work the controls! ChiChi?!

C'mon you bucket of bolts!

My son's in trouble! Let's go already!

[DR. BRIEF] No, ChiChi! Wait! It hasn't been tested yet!

You don't know what you're doing!

[CHICHI grunting]

I'm coming, son!

[CHICHI screaming]

[DR. BRIEF] Well... Good thing I installed those airbags.

Oh no! Mayday! Mayday!

[CHICHI screams]

[RECOOME guffaws]

What's wrong? No more fight left?

[GOHAN groaning]

[grunting]

[GOHAN growling]

Yaaah!

[RECOOME gasps]

[GOHAN screams]

[GOHAN yells]

[RECOOME grunts, GOHAN gags]

[GINYU] And one more makes seven.

[FRIEZA] Once again, you have more than

outdone yourself, Captain Ginyu.

When I am the ruler of the Universe,

your efforts will be repaid tenfold.

I can already see it now.

Thank you my loyal subject, for a job well done.

It was my pleasure, Frieza.

You know how much I enjoy serving your lordship.

At last, I've searched so long and

the Dragon Balls are finally mine.

It's time to make my wish...

[GINYU] Lord Frieza! Allow me to honor you

by performing the Dance of Joy!

[GINYU grunting]

Uh, Ginyu, if you value your life, stop.

Oh... Yes, Lord.

[FRIEZA laughs]

Aw, did I hurt your feelings? I'm so sorry... Get over it!

This is my moment of glory. Don't spoil it for me.

You're right, Lord Frieza.

I don't know what came over me.

You have a wish to make.

The Dance of Joy can wait!

Now, Dragon Balls... Grant my wish!

I want eternal life so I can rule the universe!

[GINYU laughing]

[FRIEZA laughing]

[thinking] What was that?

[thinking] Something's wrong... I can feel it!

[thinking] It's Elder Guru!

He's in terrible danger.

The evil ones will be coming for him soon!

[NAIL growling]

[thinking] I know Guru wanted me to help the Earthlings...

But I cannot abandon him in his hour of need!

[GOHAN yells]

[RECOOME] Huh, huh. Ouch!

[RECOOME chuckling]

[GOHAN grunting]

[RECOOME] Uh-oh!

[RECOOME chuckles]

[GOHAN grunting]

Dad... Where are you?

[GOHAN groans]

[GOHAN grunts]

[RECOOME guffaws]

He-Hey! Whadda ya' know?!

Back for more, huh?

[RECOOME chuckles]

[BURTER & JEICE laugh]

[GOHAN panting]

I won't quit... I have to keep fighting!

[GOHAN] My friends'... My friends' lives depend on it!

Haa...

[RECOOME shouts]

Haa...

[GOHAN grunts]

Hm?

[RECOOME grunts]

[blows landing, RECOOME grunting]

[blows landing, GOHAN shouting]

[GOHAN growls]

Come on, squirt!

Don't tell me that's the best you've got!

[GOHAN grunts]

[GOHAN screams]

Uhhh...

[GINYU growling]

[FRIEZA] U-Uhh.. M-My wish...

Maybe it already came true... I don't know.

Does it feel like you have eternal life?

[FRIEZA] No... At least, I... I-I don't think so...

Nothing's changed...

Why? What's wrong?!

Wait!

Here, it's yours! Go ahead and take it!

It doesn't matter. You'll never succeed!

Even if you do find all seven balls,

you still won't be able to make your wish...

[FRIEZA] Before I destroyed his village and took

the second Dragon Ball,

one of the elder Nameks warned me this would happen.

I didn't think much of it at the time.

People will say anything when they're about to die.

But now it seems the old geezer was telling the truth!

Urrgh... I can't make my wish!

There must be some secret to unlocking their power!

A password! A code!

Some sort of special ritual to release the dragon

that only Nameks would know!

I could scream! Curses!

I have all seven Dragon Balls, and they're worthless!

Now I need a Namek to show me how to use them!

Check the Scouter, Lord Frieza.

There's bound to be one or two of them left.

[FRIEZA growls]

[FRIEZA] Hmmm...

[FRIEZA] The rest of the Ginyu Force is in that direction.

Perhaps Vegeta or his new friends

can tell us what we need to know.

Uhh?! It's best not to stop the men once they get started.

I'm sure if we keep looking...

Oh... Hey, there we go!

There's still a small band of Nameks in quadrant three.

You see? There's two of them, due north.

And the third is approaching from the East.

Somehow, they've managed to avoid detection until now.

As usual, my men weren't nearly as thorough

as they should have been while searching the planet...

Normally, I'd be angry, but in this case,

their incompetence has turned out to be rather fortunate,

wouldn't you say?

Lord Frieza, just give me one hour

and I'll find out everything you need to know

about the Dragon Balls!

I appreciate your enthusiasm.

But I prefer to handle this myself.

I've dealt with enough Nameks now

that I know exactly what buttons to push

to make them spill their secrets...

You stay here, Captain Ginyu.

I'm counting on you to keep my Dragon Balls safe!

Right! You can count on me, Lord!

I'll guard them with my life!

Ha! Ready or not, Nameks... Here I come!

[GOHAN grunting]

[panting]

Gohan...

[GOHAN] I have to keep trying...

For Piccolo... For Yamcha... Tien... Chiaotzu...

They're all counting on me...

[RECOOME chuckles]

And I am not going to let them down!

[GOHAN shouts]

[RECOOME] Ha, ha! You missed me!

[GOHAN growls]

Now! It's my tuuurn!

Recoooome Bomber!

[RECOOME yelling]

[GOHAN shouts]

[RECCOME yelling]

[GOHAN shouts]

[RECOOME yelling]

[RECOOME laughing]

[GOHAN screams]

Yoo-hoo!

[GOHAN grunts]

[screaming]

[GOHAN grunting]

[RECOOME] Hmmm...

Well, now... Still alive, huh?

That's... enough... Gohan... stop...

[GOHAN coughs]

[GOHAN grunting]

[GOHAN] No... It's not over yet...

I... won't... quit...

[GOHAN] Dad wouldn't give up. Neither will I.

Well... Who's the big man, huh?

Really, kid...

I've fought some stubborn characters in my day...

But you... You take the cake.

Now! Let Recoome show you your doom!

Never! I'm not gonna let you win!

[GOHAN screaming]

[KRILLIN gasps]

[grunting]

[RECOOME laughing]

[KRILLIN gasps]

[RECOOME] Hmph.

Haah.

[RECOOME laughs]

Gohan, no!

[KRILLIN whimpers]

[JEICE chuckles]

Well, that's the end of that.

I don't think that kid's getting up this time.

How could he? Recoome just snapped his neck!

[KRILLIN crying]

Bah! That little runt was our last hope...

Damn! I should've known better than to rely on a child!

[ChiChi] Gohan...?

[DR. BRIEF] Oh, good. She's waking up!

[MRS. BRIEF] ChiChi, you gave us such a scare!

Something's happened... Oh, Gohan!

[CHICHI sobs]

[JEICE] Oy! Recoome!

Huh? What?!

[JEICE] Finish up your handiwork so we can report back to Frieza!

[BURTER] Yeah, we don't want to spend all day

watching you have fun!

Let's get this over with!

Hold your horses, this will just take a second!

[BOTH gasp]

[JEICE] Wonder who that is?

[BURTER] We're not expecting anybody...

Maybe some Nameks coming home from vacation?

[JEICE] Poor dopes! They have no idea

what they're getting themselves into!

[computer beeping]

[GOKU] It's time...

[NARRATOR] At long last, Goku has arrived on Planet Namek!

And after his extensive training in 100-times gravity,

he's ready to face the challenges ahead.

But even with all of his awesome strength,

will he be able to save his friends?

Or is he already too late?
