Chapter 41 Planet Namek

In a desperate attempt to save his life, Dodoria tells Vegeta about the Saiyan planet and its destruction in exchange for Vegeta's promise to spare his life.Vegeta releases Dodoria from his grip, and then Dodoria explains that Frieza lied about Planet Vegeta being destroyed.

He tells that the Saiyans were getting stronger, and Frieza thought it was only a matter of time before they could stand up to him, so he decided to destroy Planet Vegeta and the Saiyan race.

Before that, he sent Vegeta to another planet, seeing that Vegeta was powerful and still useful. Vegeta then scoffs, saying that he never cared about his family or Planet Vegeta, and executes Dodoria ruthlessly.

Vegeta is overjoyed at recent events; he knows that without scouters, Frieza will have a much harder time finding Namekian villages.

Vegeta then rushes to a Namekian village with his newly acquired skills from Earth, the ability to detect Qi, and the ability to hide his power as he sees fit.

After Vegeta locates a village that had not yet been raided by Frieza and his henchmen, he is able to obtain a Dragon Ball after slaughtering all of the villagers himself. After clever thinking, Vegeta throws the Dragon Ball underwater, intending to come back for it later. As long as Frieza is unable to obtain one Dragon Ball, he will not be able to summon the Dragon.

Eero shook his head, looking at Vegeta killing those Namekians thoughtfully.

'Goku is half responsible for all this guy's evil deeds in the future. What's the use of leaving this scourge alive? This guy is useless from the beginning to the end, just a proud fart'.

Turning his head away, on the other side,

Zarbon stands waiting for Dodoria's return and remarks that Dodoria should have been back. Dodoria has not returned, and Frieza becomes impatient.


He demands that Zarbon and Appule search planet Namek for more villages. He has grown impatient and wants the Dragon Balls so his wish for immortality can come true. Zarbon is sent to locate another Namekian village.

Meanwhile, Piccolo, Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, and Chiaotzu have all arrived at King Kai's Planet for special training; supposedly the same training that Goku received prior but tougher.

They telepathically communicate with Goku to tell him of their arrival, and Goku tells them that the situation is worse, as there are even more evil warriors on Namek, more powerful than Vegeta.

King Kai suspects that something is wrong and checks to see that Frieza is truly on Namek. He then proceeds to warn Goku to never go near Frieza, fearfully telling him that Frieza is the most powerful entity in their quadrant of the universe.

Eero witnessed all the hustle and bustle between Vegeta, Frieza, Z warriors, and the tossing of Dragon Balls from one place to another. Finally, the Dragon Balls reached the Z warriors' hands.

…

With the fate of Namek at stake, Grand Elder Guru sends the young Namekian Dende to give the important information to Krillin and Gohan about how to summon Porunga, the Namekian Dragon.

As Dende finally reaches Krillin with the important message, they take the Dragon Balls from a sleeping Vegeta and head away from Frieza's spaceship.

Dende summons Porunga by speaking the Namekian language.

Meanwhile, back on Frieza's ship, Vegeta awakens, suddenly sensing Frieza's approaching power level and seeing that the Dragon has already been summoned. Gohan, Krillin, and Dende set out to make their wish, which is to revive Yamcha, Tien Shinhan, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo.

The dragon informs them that he can only wish back one person at a time. With King Kai's help, Piccolo communicates telepathically to Gohan and asks him to restore his life.

His reasoning is that if he is resurrected, Kami will return to Earth, and that will also bring back Earth's Dragon Balls, in effect allowing for the others to also be revived with a wish.

Piccolo asks for the second wish to teleport him to Namek, wanting to exact revenge on Frieza for killing his people despite King Kai's objections. Gohan, Krillin, and Dende agree to this and make the wishes.

Vegeta arrives at the scene after the second wish is made. Since the first two wishes had already been used to bring Piccolo back to life and then to Namek, Vegeta wants to save the last wish for eternal life for himself.

Just as Dende asks the Dragon, Guru dies, and the Dragon Balls turn to stone. Vegeta's wish is not granted, but worse yet, Frieza has arrived and is extremely angry that the Dragon Balls have already been used.

Vegeta fights his former boss, gloating that he has become a Super Saiyan, but as Frieza shockingly realizes they are somewhat evenly matched, Vegeta abruptly tells him to transform and reveal his true strength.

Frieza amusingly wonders how Vegeta knows this, and Vegeta tells him Zarbon spilled it out before.

Frieza transforms into his second form, one that is even stronger than before, claiming that his power level has risen over a million. Frieza tells them that while most transform to increase their battle power, he does it to decrease his power because it is so enormous it's hard to control himself. Vegeta, realizing that he underestimated Frieza's strength, is shocked.

Meanwhile, Piccolo, who was just teleported to Namek by a wish, senses the fighting and heads to the battlefield. Along the way, he sees the dying Nail, who informs him of what has been happening. He also requests that Piccolo fuse with him to be more of a challenge to Frieza. At first, Piccolo is reluctant, but after Nail assures him that his personality will not change by fusing, Piccolo decides to accept, increasing his strength and speed tremendously.

Back on the battlefield, Frieza's new power level is said by him to be over one million. He also tells Vegeta about the destruction of Planet Vegeta and his father.

Vegeta simply scoffs at this, saying that he surpassed his father when he was a child.

After fully transforming, he impales Krillin, who was trying to protect Dende, with his horns and tosses him into the sea.
