Summary

Vegeta feels two ki, Kakarrot's son and the little bald guy, but they are not headed his way. So he decides to go off after them, but takes the One-Star Ball with him, in case that woman who was with them uses that Dragon Ball-tracking device to locate his stash. With that, he zooms off. Meanwhile, Kuririn tells Gohan it is just a little further. He thinks to himself that even when Gohan's dormant power is brought out, he still might not be a match for Vegeta, as that bastard keeps getting stronger and stronger. Then as the tall mountain with the Eldest's house on top comes into view, Kuririn suddenly feels a ki behind them... it is Vegeta! Kuririn tells Gohan to go to see the Eldest while he holds Vegeta off, and Gohan reluctantly obliges. Vegeta then catches up to Kuririn, and tells him to give back the Four-Star Ball that he stole. Kuririn does not say anything, and Vegeta says that if he is going to play dumb, then he will just have to make him talk. He then notices that Kakarrot's son went over to that mountain, and thinks that must be where they are hiding the Dragon Balls. Kuririn yells that that is not the case, but Vegeta just flies around him and towards the mountain.

The Eldest has his hand on Gohan's head, and comments that Gohan has tremendous latent abilities. Gohan asks him to please hurry, and Nail notes that someone has come here. Vegeta walks around outside the house, and Nail steps outside and tells him to leave. Gohan then gets his power-up, and Kuririn and Vegeta both feel it. Vegeta thinks that this new ki must be Kakarrot, and yells at him to come out. But when Gohan steps outside, Vegeta freaks out, and wonders what went on in there for him to have suddenly increased in power so much. The Eldest then tells Dende to go tell everyone that large powers are approaching Planet Namek. Dende goes outside and tells them all that the Eldest said someone is nearing the planet. Kuririn notices it, and wonders if it is Goku, but Gohan says there is more than one. Vegeta suddenly freaks out and says it is the Ginyu Special Force. There are five of them, so there is no mistake.

Vegeta grabs Gohan and demands that he hand over the Dragon Balls, but Gohan says he cannot do something like that. Vegeta promises he will not lay a hand on them once he is immortal, but Kuririn does not believe that. Vegeta says to listen to him. Those five people who are coming are all much stronger than him, and they are bringing new scouters so that Freeza can hunt down and kill them all. Vegeta says the only solution is for him to get immortality and defeat Freeza and his men. Nail says that Vegeta is probably telling the truth, inasmuch as there are indeed five great, evil powers approaching. Kuririn asks why Gohan cannot be the one to receive immortality, but Vegeta says he does not have the necessary skill or experience. Kuririn asks what will become of their wish to revive their friends, and Nail tells them that the Dragon Balls grant three wishes. Vegeta yells at them that there is no time to waste, and so they all fly off. The Eldest tells Nail he should go as well, and says not to worry about him. Meanwhile, five space pods approach Planet Namek...
