Sound bytes at the end of the experiment
(Title Screen: FACE-OFF ON NAMEK)
Bulma: I just can't believe it!
 |
Krillain: (backing up and looking terrified) It's Vegeta! It's just got to be.
Frieza: Just three more to go.
(Frieza is hovering over the prone, groaning village elder as one of his lesser henchmen brings out the dragonball.)
Frieza: Good job, my little frog-faced worker.
(Dodoria receives the new dragonball, while Zarbon looks on.)
Frieza: Keep a close eye on these, Dodoria. It seems that Vegeta is after them.
(Close-up of Zarbon, who scowls slightly and turns on his scouter.)
Frieza: Hmmmmm.
Zarbon: Those small power sources we noticed earlier appear to have vanished. But don't worry, we'll find them; where-ever they are.
(Close-up of Frieza's face.)
Frieza: I'm not concerned about them, Zarbon. It's Vegeta I want off my back.
(Kewie is standing next to the crater his landing pod made during landing.)
Kewie: Vegeta...oh, Vegeta ...(He turns on his scouter) Come out and play...
Kewie: I see you! Now it's time for us...to have a little fun! Ha-ha-ha-ha! (He takes to the air.)
Kewie: Take a peek at your scouter, Vegeta. My power level is way higher than yours. Someone should have taught you not to mess with the big boys!
(Vegeta, looking through his scouter, seems intent but not especially concerned.)
(At the ship...)
Bulma: I still just can't believe this. Hey, guys, I know! It's a sign for me to get back to Earth! (She heads for the ship). Well, you two, I hope you have a pleasant stay! See ya later!
Krillain: Bulma, just give us a sec...
(Bulma halts)
Krillain: (turning on a big grin) So...hey, Gohan. What say we go back also.
(Gohan blinks in surprise.)
Krillain: (still brightly) Well, hey...there's so many people showing up, what do they need us for?
Krillain: (turning toward Bulma) Well, you see, Bulma...I'm ready for action, but I just don't want Gohan getting scared.
Gohan: What do you mean, Krillain? If we leave, then Vegeta will get the dragonballs.
Bulma: You know full well there's no way we can risk it. We don't have a choice.
Gohan: Krillain, behind you!
(Bulma hides behind the leg of the ship as Krillain turns.)
Bulma: Hey...what's there?
Krillain: I'm not sure...but I can tell it's weaker than Vegeta is!
(Gohan gulps.)
(Over the green lake, two figures in armor appear. One is humanoid, with pale blue skin, a mane of yellow hair, full mustache and side burns; the other seems somewhat amphibian, with a head fin and purple skin. They land near the craft.)
 |
Bulma: Guys, who are they?
Krillain: Don't know. Must be the Nameks.
(But it isn't Nameks that walk around the corner of the bluff. Bulma recoils.)
Bulma: What did I do to deserve this?
Amphibian: I think the Nameks look quite tasty.
Humanoid: (laughing) These don't look like Nameks to me...but who cares? Zarbon says to take care of anyone we find here.
Bulma: Look at the size of them!
Krillain: They're wearing the uniforms that the Saiyans wear...but they're not Saiyans!
Gohan: They're big!
Krillain: I don't know what they want with us!
Bulma: (quavering) Oh, my goodness. Maybe they're from the Namek welcoming committee or something...
(The two warriors float over the ship.)
Krillain: Gohan...lower your power level to throw off their readings.
Gohan: All right...
Amphibian: Will you look at these helpless runts! They look completely out of place. Definitely not warriors.
Amphibian: Sounds good to me! (He fires a blast from a hand weapon, hitting the ship right above the view port, which shatters.)
Krillain: Those jerks!
Krillain: Gohan, let's get ready...to do some serious powering up!
Amphibian: Well, will you look at that.
Humanoid: That little guy looks like he has stomach pains or something.
(They both start laughing, but their scouters flash a warning.)
Humanoid: What, it can't be! Look at that power reading!
Gohan: Yeah!
(The two vanish, only to reappear in front of the now-screaming warriors. Gohan kicks the amphibian, completely twisting his head around. Krillain boots the humanoid into the amphibian. The two crash into the lake as Gohan and Krillain land and give each other "thumbs up.")
Gohan: (childish giggling)
(Elsewhere, a pensive Zarbon is looking off into the distance.)
Frieza: You seem distracted. Is something bothering you, Zarbon?
Frieza: Oh, you think so? Besides Vegeta, that is?
Zarbon: Yes, it wasn't Vegeta. There were two power levels, both of them around 1500.
Frieza: 1500? That's not too much cause for concern. Still, I don't like their attitude. If you see them again, make them pay.
(Camera pans over the dying Namek elder.)
Goku: That's it...focus on the water...concentrate your energy right through the glass...easy...easy...
Chi-chi: (off-camera) Goku!
(Goku's concentration breaks. The water hits him in the face right as Chi-chi walks around the hospital partition.)
Chi-chi: Goku, what are you doing?
Goku: Ummmmm...I'm just...washing my hair.
Chi-chi: Oh. Why didn't you just say you needed a shampoo? I'll be happy to give you a hand. I don't really mind at all. It'll remind me of bathing Gohan when he was a boy. (She drapes a towel over the cowering Goku and begins to ruthlessly scrub, not really paying attention to what she's doing. Goku makes various noises of protest.)
Chi-chi: I just wonder where my little Gohan could be. I should have never let him run off to outer space. (Goku, groaning, peeks out from the towel as Chi-chi turns away.) I'm the worst mother in the whole world. I can't believe how irresponsible I was! (Mimicking Gohan as she walks out of the room) See ya later, Mom! I'm going off in a space ship that's never been tested, to a place no-one's ever been to, to battle large hairy warriors!
(On Namek, a whimpering Bulma is trying to fit some of the broken glass from the spaceship together. It shatters in her hands.)
Bulma: (wailing) Oh, there is no way!
Krillain: Bulma, there might be more guys on the way. I hate to leave the ship, but we really should get moving.
Gohan: Don't worry, Bulma. Maybe if we find the Nameks, they'll help us repair the ship. I promise we'll make it back to Earth sometime. We just have to!
(Close up of Bulma crying)
Krillain: We'll find a way, Bulma.
Gohan: I think the trick is to keep our cool. Like Mr. Piccolo says, never panic.
Bulma: (snapping into anger mode) Okay! No problemo! Nitwit! (She starts crying over the ship again.)
Krillain: Bulma?
Gohan: Whoa.
Vegeta: So...you came to play. Well, let's play...
Kewie: So, Vegeta...it looks like it's finally time to settle the score. I'm afraid you have such a low power level you won't be much of a challenge to me. (Vegeta silently lands and stands with his arms crossed). But I'll have fun with you...
Vegeta: I don't think so, Kewie.
Kewie: Yeah, right. Let me guess. You learned how to run away.
Kewie: (startled, looking through his scouter) It...keeps getting higher!
Vegeta: (laughing. Veins are popping out on his forehead) I'm just getting warmed up, fish face! Better stick around...
Vegeta: Oh, no! It's much, much higher than you could begin to imagine, Kewie! You see, while you've been relaxing with Frieza, I've been in training! Competing against everyone I came across, all the time growing stronger...and stronger...Ah, ha, ha!
Kewie: (beginning to sweat buckets) 20...21...22!
Vegeta: (screams)
(Kewie's scouter breaks...and miles away, so does Zarbon's. Dodoria turns to look at him.)
Dodoria: Zarbon! What was that?
 |
(Zarbon fixes Dodoria with a cold stare.)
Dodoria: Let me see here...(he gasps)
Zarbon: The number...?
Zarbon: Twenty-four thousand? That would mean that right now Vegeta's power level is even higher than ours.
Dodoria: It can not be true! At best, Vegeta's power level is at eighteen thousand!
Frieza: It's not surprising. Remember, he's been in battle almost continuously. It could have raised his power level substantially. You'll beat him...by joining both of your power levels together.
Zarbon: But, sir...
Kewie: Wait...Wait! I have a really good idea. I can help you, you see. I'll ... I'll join your side. Together, you and I can probably take Frieza and all of his men.
Vegeta: (snarls)
(Vegeta grimly advances on Kewie.)
Vegeta: I think I'd rather have chopped Kewie, but thanks for the offer!
Kewie: Hang on now...please, Vegeta!
Vegeta: (more snarling, more popping forehead veins)
(Vegeta gasps and whirls, but...)
Kewie: (forming and throwing an energy ball) Sayonara!
Kewie: (panting, then laughing. He lands next to the crater) He's even dumber than he looks. I can't believe he fell for the old look-out-behind-you trick.
(Voice off to the side): Hey, fish-head!
Vegeta: I'm really disgusted by your tactics. I expected more, even out of you, Kewie.
Kewie: How can it be!?
Vegeta: Oh, yeah; I forgot to tell you. I also learned to increase my speed when I was on Earth.
Kewie: But how?!
(Screaming, Kewie breaks and runs, but trips before he gets too far. When Vegeta turns toward him, Kewie takes off flying. Vegeta powers up and follows him. To Kewie, it looks as if Vegeta just materializes in front of him. Vegeta punches Kewie, then chuckles as Kewie falls out of control.)
Vegeta: See ya.
(He extends a hand; Kewie blows up. A red debris cloud fills the sky. Vegeta watches it, smirking.)
(Close-up of Dodoria, who's scouter is beeping like crazy.)
Dodoria: That twenty-four thousand reading for Vegeta must've been right after all. He's defeated Kewie like it was nothing.
Frieza: (tartly) I never really liked Kewie much, anyways. Now let's find the dragonballs!
(Vegeta is still at the scene of Kewie's death.)
Vegeta: Well, I'm sure they sensed my energy level through their scouters, so they know I'm here. I can take Zarbon and Dodoria, no problem; but Frieza...Frieza is still so much stronger. And they've all ready collected some of the dragonballs. Until I get all seven, I can't battle him, unless...I can find one and just hang on to it. Then I can steal the other six from Frieza.
(Vegeta looks up at the sky.)
(At the Namek village...)
Underling: There's a sign of a bunch of Namek s that way, Master.
Frieza: Well, that's good news. Maybe they can lead us to the next dragonball. Our collection is growing quite nicely. Make sure you keep on your guard until we know who those other guys are. Let's head out!
(Frieza and his guards all power up, and take to the air).
(Bulma, Krillain and Gohan are climbing an incline next to a lake. Bulma is lagging far behind.)
Bulma: You guys, I don't know if I can go on. I need bottled water.
Krillain: Bulma, we gotta keep moving! They'll find us if we stay out here like this!
Bulma: (panting) You guys can fly, can't you? Why don't you just carry me?
Gohan: Bulma, we'd like to, but when we fly it puts out way too much energy. They'd see the power readings on their scouters, then they'd come after us for sure and we'd be in big trouble.
Bulma: (collapses)
(Bulma raises her head and stares at the cave.)
Bulma: Now I must pass my days living in a cave. (Sobbing, she makes her way to it.)
Gohan: (just outside the cave) Krillain, do you sense that energy in the air?
Krillain: It feels pretty strong, and it's still rising. You don't think it could possibly mean... (suddenly he gets a flash from another direction and starts shouting) Trouble! Everyone head for cover on the double!
(Everyone dives into the cave. Gohan and Krillain poke their heads out.)
Gohan: It feels like Vegeta, but even stronger.
Krillain: you're right, Gohan. I don't know who it could be.
Gohan: If we stay in here, then they won't see us.
Krillain: Let's hope...
(Close-ups of Krillain and Gohan, both very tense, then a shot in the far distance over the lake. A group of bright lights appear, heading right toward them.)
Bulma: I see something!
(Shots of streaks of blue light, then a close-up of a dog-like warrior)
Announcer: Goku's back next Dragonball Z, but will he be in time to help Gohan and Krillain stop the forces of Frieza from overtaking the Nameks? Don't miss the next episode of Dragonball Z!
(FUNimation logo comes up. Credits start rolling as Mike and the 'Bots exit)
Folks have found Dragonballs here since 10/25/98!
