"Dark Clouds Swirl Over Planet Namek" is the two hundred and forty-seventh chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1989 #47 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.
Summary
The ship continues approaching Planet Namek, and Gohan and Kuririn actually get to put their seatbelts on this time as they enter the atmosphere. They land kind of hard, but it is a successful landing nonetheless. Bulma starts preparing some special masks to breathe in the atmosphere here, but Kuririn and Gohan are already outside the ship, breathing just fine. They talk about this being Piccolo's home planet, until Bulma comes out and yells at them for just coming out here without thinking. She pulls out the Dragon Radar to start searching for the Dragon Balls and Kuririn whispers to Gohan that she seems angry again. Bulma then gets excited that the Dragon Radar is detecting the Dragon Balls here as well.
Kuririn and Bulma start dancing and celebrating, but then Gohan interrupts them. He feels a strong ki over that way, a bunch of them. Kuririn then notices it too and wonders what is going on. Bulma says there is nothing to worry about, it is just the Namekians. Kuririn says they feel evil, but Bulma says Kaiō said they are all peaceful. The radar shows four Dragon Balls grouped together, not even in that direction. Bulma thinks they should meet the Namekians and Kuririn laughs about being worried over nothing. But then something suddenly bursts through the air and Kuririn yells out that it is a Saiyan space ship.
Bulma freaks out and Kuririn tells Gohan to lower his ki. Kuririn says it must be Vegeta and Gohan cannot believe his injuries are already healed. Bulma says they have to go back to Earth, but Kuririn tells her to go back by herself; they need to stay here and gather the Dragon Balls. Bulma says she will contact the Turtle Hermit and then come back in two months with Goku. They do not particularly like the idea of having to survive here for two months. Meanwhile, Vegeta has emerged from his ship, not about to let that bastard Freeza get the Dragon Balls. Freeza has probably found out about his mutiny by now and probably plans to kill him. Vegeta doubts he can beat Freeza, though it will not matter once he has been granted eternal life by the Dragon Balls.
He has brought a scouter after all and he uses it to find Freeza. Vegeta finds out where he is, and that he has brought Zarbon and Dodoria with him, then flies off. Back on Earth, at Kame House, the Turtle Hermit picks up the phone, and Bulma tells him the situation. She says to tell Goku and everyone about this, except for Chi-Chi. Suddenly they all spot a second space pod like Vegeta's crash down somewhere. Elsewhere on the planet, in a village, some Namekians are lying on the ground dead. Various kinds of aliens are standing around, all dressed in armor like the Saiyans had, and one comes out of a house carrying the Three-Star Ball.
A little effeminate guy floating in a pod thing says they only have three left. He is flanked by a long-haired pretty boy holding the Five-Star Ball and Two-Star Ball and a big fat ugly guy holding the Seven-Star Ball. The little guy tells the fat guy to hold onto the Three-Star Ball, addressing him as "Dodoria-san" and says that Vegeta is surely after these. The pretty boy calls the little guy Freeza, saying that Kewi has arrived and is pursuing Vegeta. The pretty boy continues that just before them, two large powers appeared but suddenly vanished. Freeza says the only problem should be dealing with Vegeta, though. The pretty boy says Kewi is after him, and those two have hated each other from the start. Kewi's ship has crashed down right next to Vegeta's and he checks his scouter and says they are about even in battle power. Nevertheless, he will win. "I won't let you get away, Vegeta! I, Kewi-sama, will finish you off...!"

Notes
- ↑ There are at least three aliens accompanying Freeza who resemble Appule, so it is not entirely clear whether this is him or a different one. However, the official Dragon Ball website does say that Chapter 247 is Appule's debut chapter.
- ↑ Not named until the Dragon Ball Super manga-original "Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc".
