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.

	Kuririn notices they have clothes like the ~~Saiyan~~, but they~~'re~~ definitely not ~~Saiyan~~. He ~~doesn't~~ know what's going on, but he ~~doesn't~~ like it. Bulma says that judging by their faces, they ~~can't~~ 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 ~~wouldn't~~ be any fun if they got away, so first he~~'ll~~ destroy their ~~space ship~~. 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 ~~mid-air~~ in front of the scouts. 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 ~~wasn't~~ nice at all. Elsewhere, the pretty boy picks up something on his scouter and Freeza asks him what's wrong, addressing him as "Zarbon-''san''".

	Freeza wonders if it's Vegeta or something, but Zarbon says it ~~isn't~~, 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 ~~can't~~ go back to Earth now. Kuririn thinks they should leave this spot, because even stronger guys ~~are~~ on their way. Gohan agrees, and says they~~'re~~ 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~~'re~~ rivals, but it all ends here. Vegeta says he's going to show him something good he picked up while on Earth. Kewi asks if it's speed for escaping, but Vegeta says, "It's battle power control!!!!"		Freeza wonders if it is Vegeta or something, but Zarbon says it is not, the readings were both about 1,500.
