[NARRATOR] Previously on Dragon Ball Z,

Piccolo and Nail have become one,

and at first it seemed like they stood a chance against Frieza.

But since his transformation, Frieza has become unstoppable.

[FRIEZA] Now you'll see I wasn't bluffing

because I'll be transforming before your very eyes.

Watch carefully, now.

And keep in mind it's not my ultimate form.

I still have one more transformation!

You're full of it.

So, are you ready to get this over with or what?

Yaah!

[NARRATOR] After his transformation,

Frieza's superior speed and strength have rendered

Piccolo totally powerless and in dire straits!

[NARRATOR} Can Gohan save Piccolo from certain death?

Find out today!

[PICCOLO grunting]

[grunting continues]

[GOHAN yelling]

[FRIEZA] Hmm...?

[GOHAN] Haah!

[GOHAN] Masenkooo...

Haaa!

[BOTH yell]

[FRIEZA laughs]

[FRIEZA grunts]

[GOHAN grunts]

[GOHAN yelling]

[FRIEZA grunting]

[yelling continues]

Gohan...

Gohan!

[DENDE grunts]

[GOHAN yells]

Yaaagh!

[FRIEZA grunting]

[GOHAN growls]

I've had enough of you, Friezaaa!

[FRIEZA grunts]

[GOHAN yells]

[grunting continues]

[GOHAN grunts]

[KRILLIN] Just a little further, Gohan!

[FRIEZA yells]

[GOHAN gasps]

[PICCOLO grunts]

I guess I owe you, Piccolo.

[thinking] Phew. That was close.

[FRIEZA] Strange! Where did the little one get all his power?

[FRIEZA] That kid's stronger than any Saiyan

I've ever fought.

I better keep my eye on that one.

I wonder who he is? I'm sure I eliminated all the Saiyans

except for Vegeta, Nappa, and Raditz twenty years ago!

How'd he survive?

Neither one of those misfits could possibly be his father.

[FRIEZA] No matter.

In the end they all must be expunged anyway.

I can't believe Frieza survived that.

But boy, that Gohan... What a pistol.

[GOHAN thinking] Oh no! I think that last attack

used up all my power! Now what am I going to do?

[VEGETA thinking] What I'd like to know

is how did that kid become so powerful?!

[VEGETA] Hey, Cueball!

Huh?

[VEGETA] Listen up and listen good,

'cause I'm only going to say this once!

The only way we can beat Frieza

is for you to whip me to within an inch of my life!

Because, as you've just witnessed,

a Saiyan's power grows stonger after recovering

from serious injuries. I need to be stronger!

Understand me?!

Y-Yeah.

[VEGETA] Good!

The time is now. I must crush these miserable Saiyans.

Because they're like pesky insects.

Once you let them get a foothold,

they can be hard to wipe out. Best eliminate them now,

before they gain momentum.

Well, what are you waiting for, huh?!

Punch me! Cut a hole in me!

'Cause if you don't, we are doomed!

B-but I could hurt you... if I beat you up too much!

Very unlikely. Let's get the show on the road, shall we?

Now, according to my plan,

once that Namekian gnome down there sees I'm nearly toast,

he has no choice but to heal me, right?

[KRILLIN growls]

Even though I can't stand your guts, I can't do it!

Why, you...!

Besides, after what I just saw Gohan do, who needs you?!

[VEGETA] Give me a break!

After that attack, the kid doesn't have any power left!

[FRIEZA laughs]

Pardon me,

I hate to interrupt a spirited conversation such as yours,

but I am running on a bit of a tight schedule. So, to be fair,

I'll even give you the choice of which one of you

will be my first victim!

I, uh, i think he's talking to us, Vegeta!

No! I'm not ready!

[FRIEZA] My dear, dear friend,

who is ever ready to meet their final fate? Hmm?

Now feast your eyes on my ultimate transformation!

[whimpering]

[growling]

[FRIEZA growls]

It's... incredible.

Now what do we do?

[VEGETA] C'mon, c'mon! We can still do it if we hurry!

C'mon!

[VEGETA] Do it... Do it!

[DENDE whimpers]

[FRIEZA growls]

[FRIEZA yells]

[BULMA gasps]

[BULMA screams]

[BULMA] What's going on here?!

[BULMA wails]

[BULMA wails]

Ahh, it's all over. Doomed without any mascara on...

Oh, why did I even come to this stupid planet to look for those

stupid Dragon Balls anyway?!

Nobody cares if I exist!

Stupid Krillin! Stupid Gohan! Stupid Goku!

I hate you! I hate you all!

Oh, I think I broke a nail...

[thinking] I can feel Frieza's power growing!

I've got to get out of here!

[FRIEZA yelling]

[VEGETA] C'mon, c'mon, what are you waiting for?!

Can't you see it's now or never?!

[KRILLIN] B-But I can't fight you, Vegeta!

[KRILLIN screams]

[KRILLIN] Here goes nothing!

Yaah!

You've gotta do better than that!

Now try again!

Ah, humans! You are pathetic!

I know infants who can fight better than you!

[KRILLIN screams]

Uh...?

Huh?!

[VEGETA chuckles]

Now, I too, will become a Super Saiyan... and annihilate Frieza.

Hey, what's going on? What'd you do that for, Krillin?!

[FRIEZA laughs]

[PICCOLO gasps]

Gohan, you better get out of here right now!

B-But...

[GOHAN gasps]

[GOHAN] Are you okay, Piccolo?

[PICCOLO] I'm... not sure.

[FRIEZA yells]

[yelling continues]

[FRIEZA laughs]

Wait a sec! I've got it! My friend Dende can help.

He's a Namek with a special healing power

to fix you right up!

C'mon! There's no time to waste!

[KRILLIN] Gohan!

Krillin! We gotta find Dende!

[DENDE whimpers]

[VEGETA] C-C'mere kid! You gotta help me...

If you know what's good for you, you will. You understand?

[DENDE] But I can't help you!

What are you saying? I know you can help!

I've seen you heal other people!

[DENDE] I can only heal those who have a good heart.

You! Your heart is black from the people you've hurt.

Why, you little...! Unless you heal me, you little brat,

Frieza's going to wipe us all out!

Sorry, I can't!

[FRIEZA yells]

Hey, c'mon...

I don't have time for your stupid moral dilemma, kid.

Alright! I-I'll try.

I'm sorry, I can't do it!

[VEGETA] You'll pay for this!

Game... over...

[KRILLIN] So then, Vegeta told me to beat him up

because he said if I did,

he'd get Dende to heal him and turn him into a Super Saiyan!

[GOHAN] Oh!

Well, I did it, figuring once he was a Super Saiyan,

he'd take on Frieza and whip his sorry butt!

[GOHAN] Really?!

[KRILLIN] Huh?

--It's Dende! --Dende?

Look!

It's Vegeta!

[FRIEZA yells]

So, I hear... you... have the... power to heal. Can you heal me?

[DENDE] I'll try...

[FRIEZA growls]

[laughing]

[growling continues]

[growling continues]

[FRIEZA laughs]

[PICCOLO Well, everything looks back to normal.

Thanks kid, I owe ya.

Well, I didn't do it to help you out, sir.

I did it to help Nail.

Dende, listen. The only way to beat Frieza is to heal Vegeta.

You gotta understand it's our only hope.

[DENDE] I... I can't.

[BOTH] Huh?

He's just like Frieza!

I can't help someone who destroyed my people!

[NAIL] Sorry, kid, but I have to agree with your friends.

[DENDE gasps]

[NAIL] All of us combined are no match for Frieza,

so we need Vegeta. There's no other way!

[FRIEZA groans]

[FRIEZA yells]

It's.. It's Frieza! What are we gonna do?!

He must be finished transforming!

[KRILLIN] Uh, guys? I say we get outta here while we can.

At least until Goku's up to speed!

[PICCOLO] If we do that, Frieza will destroy this entire planet,

including Goku!

I know Frieza has no regard for anyone or anything.

In my wildest dreams I've never seen anything so... powerful.

I wonder what "it" will look like...

I'll bet it's the most hideous, ugly, repulsive creature

in the universe.

Please, Dende.

You have to forget about the past and heal Vegeta.

[DENDE whimpers]

Thanks, Dende.

[PICCOLO] I can see him!

[VEGETA grunts]

Oh, by the way...

Thanks!

Hey, punk! You're just lucky you caught me in a good mood!

Ah, at last Frieza decidees to show himself.

And from here, he doesn't look so tough anymore!

Well, I guess now that my power has increased...

It's time to let my fists do the talking!

[VEGETA chuckles]

[DENDE whimpers]

[thinking] Oh no, I can sense something terrible... Frieza!

[NARRATOR] Now that Frieza has completed

his final transformation,

the stage is set for the ultimate showdown.

Find out who will survive

in the next exciting episode of Dragon Ball Z!
