Several warriors from Namek try to stop Freeza, but they are all killed by his soldiers. Gohan and Kuririn rescue the only Namek survivor, a kid called Dende, but they are followed by one of Freeza's men, Dodoria (ドドリア). As they try to escape, Dodoria is attacked by Vegeta, who wants to know if it is true that Freeza destroyed Planet Vegeta. As Dodoria reveals that is true, Vegeta kills him and starts searching for the Dragon Balls. Dende takes Kuririn to the Dragon Balls' creator, the Great Elder (最長老, Saichōrō), to get some help. Vegeta comes across another one of Freeza's men, Zarbon, and fights him. Zarbon performs a transformation that increases his powers, allowing him to defeat Vegeta.
