1. To Planet Namek!, before the battle

8 lines

The tenacity of Goku and his friends, along with Piccolo's ultimate sacrifice, were enough to repel the Saiyan threat.

But with Kami's death, the Dragon Balls were now gone. No longer could the world's warriors be revived... However, a glimmer of hope still remained.

There was a chance more Dragon Balls could be found on Piccolo and Kami's home planet of Namek. The fallen Z-Warriors might be able to come back to life...!

Mr. Popo led our heroes to a spaceship Kami had used long ago to make the journey for Namek. With Goku out of action after his deadly clash with Vegeta, all was left to his trusty friends, Bulma, Krillin, and...

Gohan (Kid)

Our friends sacrificed their lives to save us and the Earth...

We have to bring them back and finish the fight with the Saiyans!

I... I can fight too!

I can't just sit around and do nothing!

2. To Planet Namek!, after the battle

13 lines
Krillin

Hey, not bad! You've got talent after all!

You really are your father's son! Not to mention Piccolo trained you for a year.

Gohan (Kid)

And you've got tons of moves up your sleeve, too. That's incredible!

Krillin

Planet Namek's not gonna know what hit it. You with me, Gohan?

Gohan (Kid)

All the way!

Gohan was more determined than ever to revive his beloved mentor Piccolo. At last, the day had come to set off for space!

...

Bwa ha ha! Is that you, Gohan? Seriously?!

Your head's rounder than mine!

Gohan (Kid)

Y-Yeah. Dad laughed too...

L-Let's get this show on the road, okay?

...Though we've kinda lost the mood.

The most unexpected trio of Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma set out for Planet Namek, homeworld of Kami and Piccolo. A new journey for the Dragon Balls had begun! Little did they know, a terrible new threat was also lying in wait...

3. Dark Clouds Over Planet Namek, before the battle

16 lines

The unlikely trio of Gohan, Krillin, and Bulma set off on their journey to the distant planet of Namek. An all-new expedition for the Dragon Balls had begun! After thirty-four days of spacefaring, at long last they reached the Namekian homeworld.

Gohan (Kid)

The terrain is a lot like where Piccolo trained me.

Krillin

That's the place we fought the Saiyans, right? It is kinda similar.

I guess his instincts drew him to the one area that resembled home.

Sightseeing can wait, boys. Let's find those Dragon Balls!

Lookie here! The Dragon Radar's picking something up!

A Dragon Ball! What did I tell you?

Krillin

Hot dog! We're off to a great start!

Gohan (Kid)

That's... A Saiyan spaceship!

Krillin

It's Vegeta's! It has to be!

Just our luck! I forgot he was gunning for the Dragon Balls too...

Wh-What's the plan now? I say we go back to Earth. We're doomed otherwise!

Uh...guys? This would be the time to hurry.

Krillin

If that creep gets his hands on the Dragon Balls it's all over!

Gohan and I will stay here and find the Dragon Balls.

Gohan (Kid)

Watch out, Krillin! Incoming!

4. Dark Clouds Over Planet Namek, after the battle

14 lines
Gohan (Kid)

Whew...

Krillin

Nice one!

What was nice about THAT?!

Our ship got totaled!

Hm?

Frieza (1st Form) (Pod)

Something the matter, Zarbon?

Zarbon

Unfortunately, yes, my lord. The pair I sent on recon earlier have been taken out... By some unexpectedly strong foes.

Before our men were neutralized, two unknown power levels spiked, the signals vanishing completely after.

Frieza (1st Form) (Pod)

How peculiar indeed. It certainly doesn't fit Vegeta's M.O.

Zarbon

Yes. Neither power signature appears to belong to Vegeta.

Both clocked in at a power level of 1500.

Frieza (1st Form) (Pod)

Insignificant enough to leave be. Though, I do find the attitude of these miscreants irksome.

Do blow them to pieces if you run into them, won't you?

Our heroes came to Namek in search of hope, but will they stand a chance against Vegeta and the sinister mastermind Frieza? Will Gohan and the gang be able to acquire all seven Dragon Balls?

5. Vegeta the Traitor, before the battle

6 lines

Though Vegeta's body had sustained extreme damage during the clash on Earth, he was given medical treatment upon returning to Planet Frieza.

It was then that Frieza learned of the Dragon Balls, spurring him to depart immediately for Namek. Vegeta hastily followed in the tyrant's trail...

Vegeta (Evil)

Damn you, Frieza!

Those Dragon Balls belong to me!

My betrayal hasn't been a secret for some time now.

No matter what, I must acquire the Dragon Balls, and then... immortality!

6. Vegeta the Traitor, after the battle

11 lines
Cui

This is insane!

B-But our power levels are supposed to be identical!

Vegeta (Evil)

Ah, but I've been fighting on the front lines this whole time. I even almost bit the dust on Earth!

What have you done besides lazing about at Frieza's side? Surpassing you was only a matter of time!

Ha! Such dirty fireworks!

Vegeta (Evil)

Once I've gathered all the Dragon Balls, immortality will be mine at long last!

Then the next order of business will be to topple Frieza!

With him gone, I'll be number one!

All of space will bend to the will of its Saiyan ruler, Vegeta!

While the inferno of Vegeta's ambition blazed, Goku had recovered with the help of a Senzu Bean, and was on his way to Namek as well!

Gohan! Everyone! I'll be there soon!

7. Assault on a Certain Village, before the battle

19 lines

While chasing down a Dragon Ball, Gohan and Krillin sensed a mysterious, sinister Ki on the move. The duo followed it, coming to a Namekian village. They were not prepared for what they saw...

I am Frieza, here to collect the objects your people call "Dragon Balls."

I believe there is one such item here. Present it. Now!

Wh-What is your purpose for gathering them?

Frieza (1st Form) (Pod)

Oh, nothing special, I assure you.

I simply wish to attain a little something called... immortality.

We would sooner die than hand our Dragon Ball to a scoundrel like you!

Frieza (1st Form) (Pod)

Ho ho ho!

You would choose death over complying?

The Namekians' defiance ignited the savagery of Frieza's forces. They slaughtered the villagers, one after the other. But then...

Ah... Ah...!!!

Dodoria

Mwah ha ha! You're next, squirt.

Gohan (Kid)

Nrgh...! Rrrrgh!

Someone has... to step in...!

Krillin

N-No, Gohan! Keep a level head!

There's nothing we can do to help!

I won't take any pleasure in bashing you in, runt.

... But I still gotta kill ya!

Gohan (Kid)

Stop!!!

8. Assault on a Certain Village, after the battle

9 lines
Dodoria

Who the hell are you?!

Gohan (Kid)

I'm the guy...

...who's gonna stop you!

Dodoria

Say what?!

Krillin

Dammit!

Gohan, get outta here! Now!

Gohan and Krillin miraculously managed to rescue the Namekian child and make their getaway. Their stunt, however, came with a heavy price, revealing themselves to Frieza.

Frieza (1st Form) (Pod)

Those meddling punks weren't Namekians.

Then what were they...?

9. Vegeta vs. Dodoria, before the battle

8 lines

With Vegeta's plan to topple Frieza now public knowledge, the Saiyan prince appeared before Dodoria, who was in hot pursuit of Gohan and Krillin.

Vegeta (Evil)

Ah, Dodoria. It's been a minute, hasn't it?

Dodoria

Vegeta!

Vegeta (Evil)

I was waiting for you to break from that wretched herd.

As long as you're not cowering behind Frieza, I'm more than a match for you.

Dodoria

What nonsense is this?!

Has your monkey brain gone mad, Saiyan? You're nothing!

Vegeta (Evil)

Heh heh heh...

10. Vegeta vs. Dodoria, after the battle

17 lines
Dodoria

Don't be hasty, Vegeta! Let me go. I'll share with you a secret in return!

It's about your homeworld, Planet Vegeta!

Vegeta (Evil)

What's that?!

What secret can there possibly be about Planet Vegeta?

Dodoria

Frieza said your planet was destroyed...

...upon contact with a giant meteor. That's a lie.

Vegeta (Evil)

What?!

Dodoria

When Saiyans band together, they can become rather troublesome.

Frieza came to the conclusion a pre-emptive measure was necessary. So he destroyed the planet himself, and all the Saiyans infesting it!

Vegeta (Evil)

...

Dodoria

Fwa ha ha! The truth is a hard pill to swallow, I see!

If you don't mind, I'll take this opportunity to skedaddle back to Frieza's!

Vegeta (Evil)

You've got it all wrong, little dodo.

I couldn't care less about my planet, my brethren, or my parents.

Dodoria

Huh?

Vegeta (Evil)

What angers me is that I never knew the truth while being strung up like a puppet since childhood!

What Frieza fears is the limitless potential we Saiyans hold!

11. Vegeta and Zarbon, before the battle

7 lines

Having saved the Namekian child, Dende, Gohan and Krillin shifted course to Bulma's, where they were told of Goku's departure for Namek and intense training program.

Meanwhile, Goku learned of Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien, and Chiaotzu's arrival at King Kai's Otherworld planet for some training of their own. He was also alerted to the existence of Frieza, a villain far stronger than Vegeta, news that stoked his warrior spirit.

Back on Namek, Vegeta had dispatched Dodoria for good. Not one to waste an opportunity, he set out to gather the remaining Dragon Balls.

Hah ha ha! The perfect hiding spot. No one will ever find the Dragon Ball here...

Because I'm the only one that knows about it.

Frieza has five Balls in total. That leaves only one unaccounted for...

Hmm...?! What's this power I sense...?

12. Vegeta and Zarbon, after the battle

34 lines

A transformed Zarbon used his overwhelming might to leave the Saiyan prince down for the count. He then made for Frieza's ship to make a report.

Zarbon

Lord Frieza. We unfortunately have yet to locate the remaining Balls. However...

I have personally taken care of Vegeta.

Frieza (1st Form)

My, my. Then you transformed? It's been some time since you pulled that old trick.

And what of the royal brat? Dead, I presume?

Zarbon

I cannot say. The body was... unable to be recovered.

Frieza (1st Form)

In other words, you didn't bother to look for a body.

Zarbon

I apologize, my lord!

I shall depart at once to check!

Appule

Lord Frieza! We found another village!

B-But... It had already been laid to waste when we arrived.

Frieza (1st Form)

Excuse me?

Zarbon

Vegeta's doing...? B-But he had no Dragon Balls when I encountered him!

That schemer! He hid it somewhere!

Frieza (1st Form)

Zarbon. I order you to bring Vegeta to me, immediately!

Let's hope he is alive after all... for your sake.

Zarbon

Yes, my lord!

Frieza (1st Form)

I have a task for you too, Appule!

Contact the Ginyu Force. Tell them I request their presence on Namek.

Appule

Yes, sir!

Zarbon

My lord? If I may ask... Why the Ginyu Force?

I do not believe there is a need to enlist their services.

Frieza (1st Form)

I have a feeling this whole debacle could escalate further...

Zarbon

A feeling, my lord?

Frieza (1st Form)

Something tells me that a powerful Saiyan will rise to become my nemesis.

At first I thought this threat would take the form of Vegeta.

Zarbon

S-Sir, surely your worry is unwarranted.

The only other Saiyans besides Vegeta are the one on a planet called Earth and his offspring.

Frieza (1st Form)

Oh? Do you mean to suggest that I could be mistaken?

Your place is to obey, not object! Now bring me Vegeta!

Zarbon

Yes, sir!

Frieza (1st Form)

Saiyan vermin... It seems their potential is limitless after all.

They must be plucked as the weeds they are. The future depends on it.

No Super Saiyan must be allowed to rise.

13. Vegeta's On a Roll!, before the battle

24 lines

With Frieza's Dragon Ball count at five and Vegeta's at one, only a single Ball was left unclaimed. Krillin set out with Dende for the Namekian patriarch Guru's abode to acquire the remaining Ball...

Nail

Welcome, Dende, my child.

You need not explain. Guru is aware of the recent developments.

Nail!

I'm so glad you're okay!

Krillin

G-Glad you're all up to speed.

Wow. You're the spit and image of my friend Piccolo.

Welcome. You must be from Earth.

Guru entrusted the final Dragon Ball to Krillin... ...in addition to awakening his hidden potential, bestowing an immense power boost upon the Earthling warrior.

Krillin

So much power welling up from within... Amazing!

Thanks a lot!

Meanwhile, Gohan had picked up on Vegeta's Dragon Ball via the Dragon Radar. The boy made the lethal gamble of setting out to find it...

Gohan (Kid)

It's now or never!

I don't sense any strong energies nearby!

While all this was transpiring, Vegeta was being held in Frieza's ship, undergoing medical treatment. After mustering an incredibly rapid recovery, the Saiyan warrior stole all five of Frieza's Dragon Balls and vanished!

Vegeta (Evil)

Mwa ha ha ha ha!

Fate is clearly on my side! Immortality will soon be mine!

Vegeta then tracked down the owner of the One-Star Ball. Krillin was cornered! But the Saiyan prince was not aware that he, too, was being pursued, by Zarbon, on orders from the enraged Frieza!

Vegeta!

Vegeta (Evil)

Earthling! Of all the people to run into here.

Judging by your fierce grip on that Ball, our goals are the same.

Rrgh...!

Vegeta (Evil)

Before you hand me that Ball, there's a small matter I must attend to.

I suggest you don't run off with my prize... For your sake.

14. Vegeta's On a Roll!, after the battle

13 lines
Vegeta (Evil)

Any last words, Zarbon? Because I'm going to kill you oh so good.

Super Zarbon

Don't make me laugh, vermin!

You forget my power level trumps yours!

Vegeta (Evil)

Stupid move, dropping me in that recovery chamber, don't you think?

When a Saiyan returns from the brink of death, he comes back much stronger.

Super Zarbon

Grrr...!

I get it now! Goku's the same way. He's gotten stronger with every lethal struggle!

Damn... That explains why Vegeta's Ki jumped to a totally different level!

Vegeta (Evil)

The Saiyans are a proud warrior race!

Never forget that!!

A powered-up Vegeta made short work of Zarbon and promptly made off with Krillin's Dragon Ball. Will Vegeta's evil machinations come to fruition?!

Vegeta (Evil)

The undisputed ruler of all the cosmos will not be Frieza, but me!

Eternal life is mine for the taking!

15. Great Conflict Ahead, before the battle

6 lines

Having found the Four-Star Ball hidden by Vegeta, Gohan returned to his friends in high spirits. For now, at least, Vegeta's quest to gather all of the Dragon Balls had been thwarted.

In order to stand a fighting chance against the Saiyan prince's amplified strength, Krillin decided to pay Guru yet another visit, this time with Gohan.

Gohan (Kid)

Do I really have a power on par with Vegeta's?

Krillin

Turns out I had a goldmine of strength sleeping inside me.

I can only imagine what wonders that Saiyan blood of yours will work for you!

Little did Gohan and Krillin know, they were still in Vegeta's sights. The prince, seething from the loss of the Four-Star Ball, had been waiting for the pair to make their move. His well-honed senses had already picked up on them...

16. Great Conflict Ahead, after the battle

12 lines
Vegeta (Evil)

Hmph! Will that be all for futile struggling?

Krillin

Vegeta wasn't kidding about the whole "Saiyan elite" thing... His strength has already multiplied!

Once Gohan's powered up, us three will have to hold off that creep until Goku arrives.

While Krillin kept Vegeta occupied, Guru tapped into Gohan's latent power, increasing the boy's strength significantly. However...

Hey! Guru's saying there's another presence nearing the planet!

Nail

What?

Krillin

It's Goku! Goku finally made it!

Gohan (Kid)

Really? Are you sure...?

Because I'm sensing more than one Ki source...

Vegeta (Evil)

No! It's...

The Ginyu Force!!

Pressure continued to mount on an already tense situation! Who was this Ginyu Force, feared by even the mighty Vegeta?! Who would finally claim the Dragon Balls as their own and make their wish?
