Summary
The Eldest says that because of those villains, almost all of his children have been killed. And he is aware that they are after the Dragon Balls. One needs proof of wisdom and strength on Planet Namek to receive the Dragon Balls, and he cannot believe the balls of hope would be used for such bad things. Kuririn says to be quite frank, he wants to know if he can have that One-Star Ball that is sitting on top of the Eldest's chair. Kuririn promises he will not let the bad guys have it. Dende thinks Kuririn should be allowed to have it as well, so their Earth Dragon Balls can be revived. The Eldest cannot believe there are also Dragon Balls on Earth, and asks if there is a Namekian there. Kuririn explains that he escaped to Earth back when this planet was in danger. The Eldest realizes it was the child of Katatz, and is surprised that one so young was able to survive on his own. "Certainly that child was a prodigy of the dragon clan who can produce Dragon Balls..."
The Eldest says that prodigy must have died, or at least he was killed? Kuririn says he was killed, by Vegeta, the Saiyan who came here. The Eldest asks if the Saiyan who did in the dragon clan prodigy was a Super Saiyan. Kuririn does not know what he is talking about, and the Eldest asks him to come a bit closer so he can search his past a little. He puts his hand atop Kuririn's head, and begins searching his thoughts. He soon realizes that the prodigy split himself in half long ago, and thus halved his power. He tells Kuririn his wish is a genuine one, and takes down the One-Star Ball, handing it to him. He says they might not be able to make the wish, though, and Kuririn asks why. The Eldest explains that he only has a few days left to live, and when he dies, the Dragon Balls will disappear. At least the bad guys cannot use them either, though. Kuririn then swears he will protect this ball with his life, and keep them from being granted eternal life. The Eldest tells him to please do so, since he cannot even move anymore, and he doubts even Nail would be able to protect him if Freeza came here.
Then the Eldest tells Kuririn he has a lot of power for an Earthling. However, he still has some more dormant power, and he would like to bring it out for him. The Eldest puts his hand on Kuririn's head and Kuririn thinks he cannot possibly have much hidden power, as he has trained to his limits already. But then he feels a surge of power flowing through him all of a sudden and gets really excited, saying he feels like he has been reborn. He thanks the Eldest, and asks if it would not be too much trouble to bring out the dormant power in a little kid, or would it shorten his lifespan? The Eldest says it would be no trouble at all, since it is not connected to his lifespan. Then Kuririn asks if he could bring one more friend, and the Eldest says yes, as you can never have too many strong good guys. Kuririn says he is leaving immediately, but then asks what to do with this Dragon Ball. The Eldest says to hold onto it, since the future lies in their hands. Kuririn tells Dende to wait here, and says he will be back with Gohan soon. Then Kuririn zooms off back towards the cave.
Meanwhile, outside of the cave, Bulma looks at the Dragon Radar and calls Gohan over. She says the Dragon Ball over there has started moving, and it is coming towards them. So Kuririn must have it and be on his way back. Then they spot another Dragon Ball, separate from Kuririn's one and Freeza's five. Gohan looks over towards that direction, and realizes it is the one from the village Vegeta attacked. But, he does not feel Vegeta's ki there anymore. Bulma thinks that he must have attacked the village and been unable to find the Dragon Ball, and so he left. Gohan asks her for the radar so he can go find it, and then flies off towards the village. Back at Freeza's ship, Vegeta is recovering in a healing machine. Zarbon and Appule are watching over him, and Zarbon leaves to go update Freeza. Appule walks up to the tank and starts mocking Vegeta, when Vegeta suddenly opens his eyes, and blasts through the glass of the tank, killing Appule. Zarbon and Freeza hear the noise, and run back towards the room. They spot a hole through the wall of the ship, and think Vegeta has escaped. However, it was just a decoy and Vegeta runs off through the ship and finds the room with the Dragon Balls.
