Sound bytes at the end of the experiment
Announcer: ...as the Saiyan nightmare felt the full weight of the ape-like Gohan. Thanks to a last-minute plea from Goku...
Announcer: ...the mighty warrior was spared and departed the planet, leaving the Earth in peace once more.
(Title Screen: "A New Goal ... Namek")
(The survivors of the confrontation are being loaded onto Bulma's craft)
Roshi: Well, that's it.
Bulma (tearfully): Oh, Goku. Careful, Yajirobe.
(Krillain looks up at the Earth's new "moon")
 "But I'm talkin' about Vegeta!" |
Bulma: Okay, let's get out of here.
Roshi: Hey, you okay?
Bulma: I guess I'm alright. (The area around her fades to black. Superimposed images of Yamcha float across the screen)
Bulma: Yamcha...oh, Yamcha.
(Bulma tears up. Teardrops fall on her hand.)
(Krillain looks on, disturbed)
Krillain: Aw, poor Bulma. We've all suffered quite a loss now that our friends are in the next dimension.
(Krillain starts flashing back to the deaths of his friends)
Krillain: Chao-zu, you really gave it everything you had. (Replay of Chao-zu blowing up) You, too, Tien! (Replay of Tien's death) And who would've thought that Piccolo would make such a noble sacrifice. (Replay of Piccolo getting disintegrated protecting Gohan). Don't worry guys, we'll get you back!
(Close-up of Gohan waking up in Chi-Chi's arms)
Chi-chi: My Gohan! You're awake! Take it easy, son. I'm right here. Everything's just fine.
Gohan: Mom? What happened to us?
Chi-chi: (pauses, then freaks) Yeaaaaaaa!
Chi-chi: My precious child, everything's going to be all right! Mommy's never going to leave you!
Roshi: She's right there, Gohan. You did a fine job.
Krillain: Way to go, Gohan!
Krillain: But one thing's for sure. That was a close shave.
Krillain: But-a-hey! You put that Saiyan in his place, and I don't think he'll ever come back! Way to go, buddy!
Gohan: But where's dad?
Goku: Right behind you, pal!
(Goku is lying on a stretcher in the very back of the craft)
Goku: I owe you big time, Gohan. You saved my life.
(Gohan and Goku chuckle at each other.)
Bulma: Hey, Krillain, what were you saying before. About the Saiyans?
Krillain: Well, ah...the way I understand it...
(The scenery behind Krillain fades to stars)
 "We're all tripping!" |
Krillain: ...is the Saiyans discovered the existence of the Dragonballs and realized that if you made a wish with them it would come true. That's why they came to Earth.
(Goku, still on his stretcher, appears in the field of stars behind Krillain)
Goku: Yeah, go on.
Krillain: Well, they're tied to Piccolo.
(A bright flash of light fills the interior of the craft)
(The light fades as Krillain continues speaking, showing the normal interior of the craft)
Krillain: Piccolo was from another planet, a place called Namek. And then when Vegeta was making his threats...
(Flashback to Vegeta clenching a fist)
Vegeta: Forget about the Dragonballs! I have another plan. I realize now it was the Nameks who created the Dragonballs here on Earth!
Gohan: I remember him saying that!
Krillian: When they shifted phases, the Dragonballs shifted with them into the next dimension. So now we're going to have to find more people from Namek.
Gohan: Then we can wish Piccolo back!
Krillain: We can wish them all back with new Dragonballs.
(Glowing, imaginary Dragonballs appear on the screen)
Bulma: Hold your horses. We don't even know if this planet, Namek, exists.
Goku: Wait, I have an idea. I know just the guy who can help us out. King Kai, can you hear me?
(pan over to King Kai, in the "Other Dimension")
King Kai: You're looking for the planet Namek, hey? Of course I know where that is!
(Everyone says "huh" and looks around the cabin)
Roshi: Am I going nuts, or did anyone else hear that?
Goku: So, King Kai, can you tell us exactly where Namek is?
King Kai: I'd be happy to, but first let me say this. Congratulations on a battle well fought. I am sorry to hear about your injuries, Goku. But you're strong enough, so I'm sure you'll recover in no time.
(As King Kai talks, his monkey, Bubbles, prances around with flowers in its hands)
King Kai: (holding up address book) Hmmmmm. I'm sure the co-ordinates for Namek are in here somewhere. Now, let's see...the planet Nacheck, Nimrod...
(King Kai pops monkey with an over-sized mallet)
Bulma: Guys, did I hear him say 9045XY?
Krillain: Bulma, can you find this place or not?
Bulma: (authoritatively) Master Roshi, can you hand me my coordinate calculator?
Roshi: If you say "please."
Bulma (ignoring him): 9045XY...hmmmmm
King Kai: The planet Namek was once a very beautiful place, but then the weather turned ugly. I think no one survived.
Krillain: Bum-mer.
(King Kai's head appendages suddenly point to off screen)
White Cat: This is getting too weird for me.
Yajirobe: If the planet Namek had it's own Dragonballs, how come they couldn't make a wish and make the weather go nice again, huh?
Roshi: It's obvious. The same reason they couldn't stop the Saiyans.
(The area behind master Roshi appears black. Fiery images of Nappa and Vegeta appear, then an image of the Dragon)
Roshi: You can't make a wish that exceeds the Dragon's power. And the Dragon's power is measured with each Dragonball.
Yajirobe: That really stinks
Yajirobe: I thought if you had the Dragonballs you could do anything!
(White Cat slaps Yajirobe across the face with his tail, leaving a welt, and then snickers)
 "Oh, the colors, the colors!" |
King Kai: (as the screen multiplies with Kamis) No, no, the Nameks are essentially a peaceful race, like Kami. Piccolo was the exception. Piccolo was different than the other Nameks. He must've been influences by all the evil that exists on Earth.
King Kai: (speaking over a flashback that shows Piccolo in an ancient battle with swords, a sea battle, and a modern battle with tanks) You see, when he was young, he experienced many violent battles. These violent images would take their toll. They would continually haunt him, affecting the way he behaved. (Silhouette of Piccolo screaming) At last, he became the Piccolo you know, a Piccolo that struck fear into those around him.
Roshi: Well, all I know when we get the Dragonballs, we're going to wish him and all the others back.
Bulma: Haven't you forgotten something? How do we there?
Krillain: Duh! I'm not that stupid, Bulma. By spaceship, of course.
Bulma: Don't get smart with me!
Bulma: Do you want to take a crack at how long you have to fly in a space-ship to get to Namek, bright boy? See, my calculations don't lie. It would take us four thousand, three hundred and thirty-nine years to get to Namek...
Bulma: That's light years.
King Kai: Boy, you got me on that one. What's with all the questions?
Krillain: But, Bulma, what if you base your calculations on a Saiyan space ship?
Roshi: But I remember Vegeta blasting off in that thing.
(Flashback of Vegeta in space ship)
Krillain: You're right, Vegeta did leave in a space ship, but it was only big enough for one person. So that big Saiyan Nappa had his own space ship, which is probably still around somewhere.
Goku: Then that's right, there still is another ship out there! And I'll just bet it's to able to fly!
Roshi: And I know just where to stop looking for it. On the East Side of town!
Krillain: (reaching into his shirt) Oh, I almost forgot about this little baby. It's a remote control I found near the Saiyan space ship.
 "Sieg Hiel!" |
Bulma: Next stop, planet Namek!
(Everyone laughs, then all adopt a dramatic pose).
ALL: Onward to Namek!
(Shot of the air craft flying away into sunset. Scene changes to excavation site, where remaining Saiyan space craft is being hoisted into a transportation vehicle.)
Voice: Careful, guys, let's get this thing to the lab.
(Outside shot of hospital. Mike tries to read the writing on the wall)
(Inside, Gohan and Krillain flinch as they hear Goku alternatively screaming and pleading in the next room. Gohan is trying to read a school book; his mom has a stack more waiting for him)
Roshi: So tell me, Krillain, you ever given blood?
Krillain: Uh, sure.
(Goku screams some more)
Nurse (opening door): Next patient, please!
Krillain: I think I left the lights on in the air car!
Gohan: Me, too! (They take off running. Roshi and Chi-Chi chase them and drag them to the examination room.)
(In the hospital room)
Roshi: See, Goku, it wasn't so bad. No need to carry on like a baby.
Krillain: Yeah! The good news is there's no serious injuries and we'll be out of here in no time at all.
Goku: Lucky you. I think I'm stuck in this contraption for a good while.
Goku: This is going to slow my training down.
White Cat: Don't worry, Goku. I see if I can get some senzu beans to speed up your recovery a bit.
Krillain: You should've seen Yajirobe fight!
Yajirobe: grrrrrr
Krillain: Check this. "Oh, Mr. Vegeta, I've always admired you! I was hoping we could be friends!" He actually said that!
Yajirobe: It was strategy! I was trying to lure him off guard!
(Everyone laughs)
Ox King: Well, I'm just glad to see everyone here is going to be all right. I just hope our other friends are also in good condition.
(Bulma, with a new hairstyle, bursts through the door)
Bulma (giggle) Hey, everyone, quick; turn on the TV
Roshi (after looking at Bulma very closely) Oh, it's you, Bulma. I thought Goku got a new, good looking nurse!
Bulma: Can you ever be serious! (Bulma turns on TV)
TV announcer: I'm now standing in front of the alien space craft recovered late last night in the city's notorious east side. For our safety it's been placed in this isolation chamber.
Krillain: That's the same space pod!
Bulma: And with this, the Saiyan remote control, we'll be on Namek in no time at all.
Krillain: You know how that thing works?
Bulma: I can work anything. I just take this and aim it at the TV. I just punch in a few buttons...like these three...and then...stand back and watch!
(The Saiyan remote control beeps but doesn't do much for a few seconds)
Goku: Hey, C'mon. Let me see. Get out of the way!
(The Saiyan space craft blows up. The announcer boggles)
TV announcer: This is Milton Monroe, reporting live. Now back to Barbie and Ken in the newsroom.
(Bulma begins pacing frantically)
Bulma: Ooooh, now we'll never get a space-ship fast enough to reach Namek! Never! This is just great! Now we're all stuck here forever!
Krillain: Ummm, but, Bulma, you were the one who pushed the button.
Bulma: But you were...
Mr. Popo: (from window) Hello.
(Bulma screams and collapses)
Krillain: Hey! Mr. Popo!
(People from other hospital rooms look out to see Mr. Popo standing on a flying carpet located several stories up the hospital building).
Mr. Popo: Did I hear you were looking for a space ship?
Krillain: I don't believe it! You found us another space ship?
Mr. Popo: Maybe.
Roshi: Who is that?
White Cat: Mr. Popo.
Roshi: Mr. Popo?
Goku: Yeah, that's right, Mr. Popo. He lives on Kami's lookout high over Earth. He and Kami have looked after Earth for years and years.
Krillain: Where is the space ship?
Mr. Popo: I think it's a space ship, but I'm not really sure. So if someone wants to come with me, I'll show them where it is.
Krillain: Hey, Bulma.
Bulma: What, me?
Krillain: Let's face it, Bulma; you're the only technical genius of the group.
(Bulma looks over her shoulder, realizing that she isn't falling and her friends are just staring at her in bewilderment. She looks up at Mr. Popo)
Bulma: Go easy on me, all right? This is my first time on a carpet, if you know what I mean.
Mr. Popo: I understand
Krillain: Yeah. And have a safe journey, Bulma.
(Popo takes Bulma to a distant, wind-swept, cold land).
Mr. Popo: We're here
Bulma: Are you sure this is the place? There's nothing here. (She shivers)
Mr. Popo: You'll see.
Bulma: Mr. Popo, why is it so cold here?
Mr. Popo: He-he. Yunzibit heights.
Bulma: Yunzibit heights? But isn't that the end of the earth? How could we get here this quickly?
Mr. Popo: Walk this way.
 "You mean, next to the giant piggy bank?" |
Mr. Popo: Is this one?
Bulma: Yeah, I'm pretty sure. (She knocks on the side of one of the space ship's legs) What is this material? This isn't made out of metal. This is strange. (She whirls on Mr. Popo) All right, cut the innocent bit, Mr. Popo! What is this thing, anyway?
Mr. Popo: About one hundred years ago I was told a very very strange story.
(over Mr. Popo's shoulder, a flash-back involving Kami appears)
Kami: I grew up in a very lonely place called Yunzibit heights.
Mr. Popo: Yunzibit heights? That's way out there.
Kami: I don't know how I got there, as I had lost all my memory in an accident.
(The flash-back-within-a-flash-back shows an unmoving Kami through several years of growth)
Kami: As I grew, I kept looking to the sky for some kind of sign, but in this very lonely place, none came. Finally I left Yunzibit heights, but I would often return...return to nothing.
(Flash-back ends)
Bulma: That's weird, but is there a point to this story?
Mr. Popo: The point is this: he discovered the space-ship here.
(Flash-back resumes)
Kami: It looked to be some kind of strange insect, and as I walked up to this bizarre creature, I realized I could open it by using one very peculiar word.
(Flash-back ends again) Mr. Popo: The word was ... Piccolo.
Bulma: Hey. It...it works.
Mr. Popo: Well, then; what are you waiting for?
(They step onto the platform) Bulma: So how do we get up there?
Mr. Popo: You just have to say the word. Pic-co-lo!
Bulma: Cool!
Mr. Popo: You see, Kami was from Namek, and "Piccolo" means "another world" in that language, so it's a logical password to open a spaceship, at least a spaceship from the planet Namek. King Kai's story of the planet Namek reminded me of this spacecraft.
Bulma: Kami must have been sent here as an infant. Oh, wow! Check out the rad controls! I wonder if I press this button here...(She presses a few buttons, then pounds on the controls). Useless piece of junk! There must be a way to start this contraption up. (She collapses into command chair) Who am I kidding? I don't have the faintest idea what I'm doing!
Mr. Popo: Why don't you ask me, Bulma? I speak a little Namek.
Bulma: You do?
Mr. Popo: You don't hang around a guy for hundreds of years without speaking his language.
Mr. Popo: All right, I'll try "brickalot."
Announcer: It seems Bulma and Mr. Popo have launched the Namek space craft, but to where? Stay tuned for scenes from the next Dragonball-Z!
