...And that's the story of the great drought.

Hey, look! A visitor!

Oh, boy! We love visitors!

Now now, don't crowd the young man.

Why, hello good fellow. Welcome to our fine village.

You look like you're not from around here.

You have to be careful. Word through the grapevine has it that some unruly characters have been going around and attacking our villages.

By the way, would you like to see our Dragon Ball?

It's our prized possession; sacred on this planet.

So, what brings you to our village?

Life sure has a way of working itself out.

I find Cui, I kill Cui.

I find Dodoria, I kill Dodoria.

I find this Dragon Ball, I *take* this Dragon Ball.

Let's see what else I can find...

Sweet crap! Did you feel that, Gohan?!

Uh, yeah, but, maybe we shouldn't--

Man, Vegeta just ENDED that village!

Krillin, seriously, you--

I don't think he even needed to kill them either. They didn't even put up a fight!

Krillin!

What? I--

Oh, cripes. Umm...

Hey, listen...

They may be dead now... but they've all gone to a better place.

Heaven - where everyone has their own little house and everything is wonderful and we all get along and there's puppies and kitties and--

This sounds totally asinine.

It totally is.

Hey, guys - I think I might have an idea.

Freeza and Vegeta need all seven Dragon Balls, right?

So, what if we just found one and hid it away?

Then neither of them can make their wish.

Hey, good idea. But we also need someone who can help us out.

Little Green.

Dende.

Do you know anyone on this planet who might be able to do that?

I know of one... person.

He is called the leader of our people; the eldest Namek.

It is said long ago, when our planet faced a great drought, he led our people through the peril.

It is said that it was terrifying.

The drought?

No.

Well, Gohan - looks like this is our only choice.

Stay here and protect Bulma.

Oh, now you care.

I'm gonna follow Little Green to meet this "Eldest Namek" guy.

He sounds like he's our last hope.

Please do not make jokes.

Freeza seems increasingly frustrated. I'd best find Vegeta quickly.

You know, Zarbon, I'm starting to think my people don't understand what I pay them for.

You don't pay us.

Allow them to *live* for.

I mean first, we lose... what was his name?

Kiwi?

Oh, Kiwi.

Then we lose all of our Scouters, and now Dodoria's dead?

I'm sorry, but if this s**t goes any further south, we're going to hit Space Mexico.

What would you want me to do, Lord Freeza?

Well, what I want *you* to do, is: * Pull up your frilly stockings * Tighten your thong * And stop being *such a*--

PANSY!

What?!

Uhh!

Vegeta!

How *dare* you ram into me when I'm thinking about Lord Freeza and my thong!

Yeah, just going to ignore that one entirely.

But, it is a good thing I found you, Vegeta.

Now, are you going to come quietly, or do I have to make you scream?

Oh, you mean like Dodoria?

Oh, please. Never send a woman to do a man's job.

URHG!

RARGH!

GAH!

Where is he?

GAH!

Uuu-huu...!

Face-down with another man beating your ass. Is it Wednesday already, Zarbon?

Very cute, Vegeta. But you have no idea what you're getting into.

HA! You have got to be kidding me!

I may have lost to those fools on Earth, but since I got here, I've done nothing but slaughter you cretins!

First Cui, then Dodoria.

I'm 2 for 3, and I'm back on top.

Well Vegeta, I hope you've enjoyed being on top...

because I'm about to put you back on the bottom, where you belong.

You see, I've been hiding another side of myself.

Where? In the closet?

Now prepare yourself, for the beast within!

I should warn you, though: This form is entirely different from me in every way.

HUUHG! HURHG! RWAARGH!

I'MA RAPE YA, BITCH!!

To be perfectly honest, you're not that different;

you're just a lot less subtleaboutit--

OHMYGOD!!

Urgh! Arrgh!

(More pained grunts)

Of...!

Poit...!

Zort...! D'apples...!

Huh...

Hey, Little Green, do you believe in karma?

What is that?

Well, you see... Karma is, where if you do something *good*...

URGHH...!

something good happens to *you*.

And if you do something *bad*...

GAAH...!

something *bad* happens to you.

So, if I am good enough... then I can have my family back?

Are you still on about that?

No! No! No! No! No!

NOOOOOOOO--!!!

AND THAT'S THE END OF THAT.

ROOARGH!

I'd best hurry back to Lord Freeza. If I take too long, he'll really lay into me.

(Gasp!)

(Breathing hard)

Why did I explode...?

That is it up ahead.

So that's where yours lives, huh? On Earth, our old Namek lives in a floating castle.

You have one as well?

Well, he died, but yeah.

This does not bode well.

[Speaking Klingon (Namekian)]

[Speaking Klingon (Namekian)]

You have such a beautiful language.

...English.

Aww, so you made a friend, Little Green?

Oh, I know - I'm gonna call you Big Green.

Call me that again and I'll snap your neck.

...With that attitude, I don't think you should be friends with him, Little Green.

Listen - I don't care where you come from or who you are; I will not put up with such disrespect--!

BIG GREEEEN!

GET IN HERE.

Oh, G-God dammit...

What is it, Lord Guru?

I HAVE A BITCH OF AN ITCH ON MY LEFT ASSCHEE--

NAIL, THERE IS AN ALBINO NAMEKIAN STANDING BEHIND YOU.

KILL IT LIKE THE REST.

Uh, actually sir, I'm from Earth.

KILL IT LIKE THE REST.

Ahh!

Uh, actually sir, I think he has business here about those people attacking our planet?

Yeah.

We came here looking for help, and I see you have a Dragon Ball up there.

Well, WE'RE going to make sure that they don't steal it.

AND HOW IS THAT?

I'm gonna take it.

Learn your place, Earthling! You have some nerve demanding the Dragon Ball for--

HERE, TAKE IT.

I...

What?

JUST DON'T STEAL THE TV.

Sir, we... (Sigh), we don't have a television.

NAIL, GATHER THE REST OF THE DRAGON BALLS AND WISH FOR A PLASMA TV.

Lord Guru, that would be a grievous misuse of their powers.

I'M ABOUT TO MISUSE MY HAND UPSIDE YOUR HEAD!

So, I can just take this and go?

WAIT.

THERE IS SOMETHING I MUST FIRST DO.

You don't mean...

YES.

I SEE SOMETHING WITHIN THIS YOUNG MAN... STRENGTH YET UNTAPPED, POWER YET UNLEASHED.

NOW, HOLD STILL, AS I UNLEASH THE VALLEY OF STRENGTH HIDDEN DEEP WITHIN!

THERE.

I HAVE UNLOCKED YOUR POTENTIAL.

I don't feel that different.

IT WASN'T THAT MUCH.

Huh...

So, this is my full potential?

YES.

So... then it's--

ALL DOWNHILL FROM HERE...

Like Yamcha...

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THIS "YAMCHA" IS,

BUT IT SOUNDS DISAPPOINTING.

Well, I'd better get this Dragon Ball back to Gohan.

Once we find them all, we can wish back *our* old Namekian.

WAIT.

You said that you were from Earth, correct?

Yeah.

SO, THE SON OF KATAS HAS PASSED.

UNFORTUNATE.

We just called him "Kami".

OH, SO HE CALLS HIMSELF GOD.

PRETENTIOUS PRICK!

NAIL!

What?

I SHALL HENCEFORTH BE KNOWN AS: SUPER KAMI.

Yes, Super Kami.

NO, WAIT...

SUPER KAMI GURU.

Can I just call you Guru for short?

SUPER KAMI GURU ALLOWS THIS.

Well, I'd better hurry up.

See you later, Little Green, and thanks for the Dragon Ball.

NAIL.

PREPARE TO RETRIEVE THE DRAGONBALL.

...AND THE BODY.

Lord Freeza, the dirty deed has been done.

Ah, very good. It's nice to see there's still somebody I can rely on.

Oh, he barely put up a fight after I transformed.

Now that he's dead, we have very little left to worry about.

Zarbon, about an hour ago, a scout informed me that an entire village was *completely destroyed*.

Do you possibly know who could have done that?

Ve... Vegeta.

*And*, unlike the villages we visited so far, there was *no* Dragon Ball there.

Do you know who could have possibly taken it?

Vegeta.

Verrry good; now, use your brain for this one, Zarbon: If somebody were to know *where* that Dragon Ball was... who would it be?

Vegeta--

Vegeta, yes.

And you said you killed him...?

Wait, sir! It is possible I just left him unconscious.

Oh, good...

and where did you leave him?

At the bottom of a lake...

Minion 43, would you come in here for a second?

I need an example.

Private Namole, reporting! An example of what, Lord Freez--

AAHHH-AAGHH...!!

You see that, Zarbon?

That's *you* if Vegeta is not in front of me in the next *10 minutes*.

Uh... uuuhhh, huhh...!

Bye.

AAAAAAAHHHH!
