Summary
Dodoria climbs ashore, pissed that it was Vegeta who surprise-attacked him. Vegeta says that he and Zarbon are always with Freeza, and he has been waiting for them to get separated. Dodoria laughs and tells him to hand over his scouter and get lost. Vegeta realizes all of their scouters are gone and laughs. They did not know when he was near, and so his chance has finally come around. He says it will take many days for them to get more scouters from Planet Freeza, so that is why Dodoria wants his... Vegeta takes it off and drops it to the ground, and Dodoria says he must be scared; he might be able to save Vegeta's life if his luck is good. But then Vegeta smirks and steps on the scouter, crushing it. Dodoria freaks out and asks why, and Vegeta says because he no longer has any use for it.
Dodoria says he wants to find the Dragon Balls too, right, so would he not need it to find the locations of the Namekians or Freeza? Vegeta says he learned on Earth how to tell an enemy's location and strength without a scouter. It is easy once you get used to it, Vegeta continues, which the likes of Dodoria and Freeza would not understand, still relying on their eyes to find people. "But then, up until now, I was like that, too." Dodoria realizes those little runts from before must have been Earthlings, and Vegeta has teamed up with them. Vegeta doubts the Earthlings could be here, but Dodoria says it does not matter, and says Vegeta should get out of here if he does not want to get killed.
Vegeta asks what he is scared of, and then realizes he must have noticed how much stronger than Kewi he was during their fight. Vegeta asks about his own battle power and Dodoria yells out that it was a mistake and the scouter was malfunctioning. Dodoria then gets really pissed and fires a whole bunch of blasts at Vegeta, blowing up the whole area. But then Vegeta appears behind Dodoria and says that technique seems to be useless. Dodoria swings backward to punch Vegeta, but Vegeta catches his arm. Dodoria kicks at him but Vegeta swings around and grabs the other arm, holding both of Dodoria's arms behind him now. Vegeta tells him that the stronger their opponents are, the stronger Saiyans get from fighting them. And he nearly died on Earth, so he received a huge power-up from that. "That is the fighting race, the Saiyans!!!"
Vegeta tells Dodoria he has been lazy compared to him, and tells him to die and be reborn as a harder worker. "W-wait, Vegeta!! I-if you let me go right now, I'll tell you a secret...!! About your Saiyan planet, Planet Vegeta...!!" Vegeta then lets him go and says to tell him his secret about Planet Vegeta. Dodoria says he probably will kill him after he tells him, and Vegeta says he will kill him right now if he does not. Dodoria says it was no meteorite that destroyed the planet. Freeza felt the Saiyans were becoming too troublesome in their great numbers, and if too many of them got too strong like Vegeta, they would stop obeying orders. Thus, Freeza took it upon himself to destroy Planet Vegeta with his own hands.
Dodoria tells Vegeta he should be thankful, though. Since he was a prince and had genius abilities, Freeza felt he could use him, and waited until Vegeta was gone from the planet to destroy it. Vegeta remains silent, and Dodoria laughs that he must be in shock, and he will take this opportunity to go back to Freeza. "Don't misunderstand me, Dodoria. I don't care about my planet or allies or parents or anything... I'm just angry for myself because of you using me as a brat without having known that...!" Dodoria freaks out and starts to fly away. But Vegeta fires a huge blast up at him with one hand, killing him. "Freeza fears the endless potential of the Saiyans...!" says Vegeta, as Goku continues doing push-ups on his ship.
