Summary
Bulma thinks this is all terrible and Kuririn says there should not be any more Saiyans. Meanwhile, Kewi finds Vegeta's location with his scouter. As he flies off, he tells Vegeta through his scouter that Freeza has given him the okay to kill him. Vegeta is just standing on a cliff somewhere, though. "You make me laugh, Kewi. Do you really think you can kill me? I'm waiting, so hurry up and get here." Kewi tells him to look at his scouter and he will see who the clear winner is. Vegeta just smirks.
Back at the ship, Bulma says goodbye and good luck to Kuririn and Gohan, and that she will be back with Goku. Kuririn tells her to wait and says maybe he and Gohan should go too, and come back to get their wish later. But then Bulma brings up the Demon King Piccolo killing Shenlong back in the day, implying the bad guys here might do that too. Then Gohan says someone is coming, but their ki is too weak to be Vegeta. Two of Freeza's men are nearby, saying this is the area where the readings were before they disappeared, and one guy wonders if it is just some Namekians. Kuririn thinks they must be Namekians, but Bulma screams it is not once they pop out into view. The two scouts notice they are not Namekians either, but their orders were to kill everyone on this planet, so...
Kuririn notices they have clothes like the Saiyans, but they are definitely not Saiyans. He does not know what is going on, but he does not like it. Bulma says that judging by their faces, they cannot be friendly. The two scouts float into the air and laugh about their pathetic battle powers. Kuririn tells Gohan to gather his ki. One of the guys says it would not be any fun if they got away, so first he will destroy their spaceship. He has a little gun hooked up to his hand and shoots a big beam through the ship. The scouts laugh about this and Kuririn tells Gohan to open his ki, since these guys are no match for them. The scouts overhear this and begin laughing hysterically.
Kuririn and Gohan begin powering up and the guys' scouters go crazy. Kuririn and Gohan suddenly vanish and appear in front of the scouts in mid-air. Gohan punches one in the face and Kuririn kicks the other in the face. Both guys go flying off into the distance, landing in the water. Kuririn says they did nice and Bulma screams that it was not nice at all. Elsewhere, the pretty boy picks up something on his scouter and Freeza asks him what is wrong, addressing him as "Zarbon-san". Zarbon says the people they went to scout out seemed like nothing, but then their battle powers suddenly sky-rocketed and they defeated the two they sent on reconnaissance, but then their readings disappeared again.
Freeza wonders if it is Vegeta or something, but Zarbon says it is not, the readings were both about 1,500. Freeza thinks that next time they should be sure to wipe them out. Meanwhile, Bulma cries about the wreckage of the ship and how she cannot go back to Earth now. Kuririn thinks they should leave this spot, because even stronger guys might be on their way. Gohan agrees, and says they are definitely not Namekians, but allies of Vegeta's it seems. Gohan also says that surely the Namekians will help them fix the ship, and so she relents. Elsewhere, Vegeta and Kewi are now staring each other down. Kewi says they are rivals, but it all ends here. Vegeta says he is going to show him something good he picked up while on Earth. Kewi asks if it is speed for escaping, but Vegeta says, "It is battle power control!!!!"
