Eya! [Krillin almost pierces Vegeta with the sword]
Goku, is that you? We have got to stop this guy while we have the chance. He's...he's pure evil.
No, listen. Just let him go Krillin. Show him what it means to be merciful.
Merciful!? But Goku, he's-
I know what you must be thinking, but believe me, I know what I'm doing.
This is the guy that threatened all the people here on Earth. Surely, he'll try to come back and destroy us again. I just don't think it's a good idea to let him escape now that we have a chance to stop him for good.
By doing this, we're showing him that there is another way, a better way.
Goku, I don't think this is the kind o' guy that can learn a lesson like that. He'll just think we're weak. It won't change him at all.
Don't be so sure about that Krillin. It wouldn't be the first time something like that happened. Think about it. When Piccolo first came to us, he was just as evil as his father had been. He nearly destroyed not only me, but the entire planet. And now...
Right. And if someone as evil as Piccolo can change, I think anyone can. Vegeta deserves to have that same chance. And by showing him that the people of this planet have compassion and can show mercy, maybe he can learn to show some of his own. Piccolo learned. And now he's not only a powerful ally, he's also a good friend. He even took care of Gohan while I was gone and traded his own life to protect him. Who know, Vegeta might do the same thing for one of us someday.
Krillin, please. I know this is the right thing to do. You've got to trust me.
But the Saiyans killed Yamcha...and Tien. Chiaotzu! I can't let him get away.
Don't do it Krillin. I know it seems like justice, but it's not right. If you strike him down, it will only show that we aren't any better than he is. It means that they've won, no matter what. He's strong....don't forget Krillin, I am a Saiyan, just like he is. [Krillin drops the sword] Thanks Krillin, that took a lot of strength and courage. I'm proud of you.
Goku, I sure hope you're right about all of this. I'd hate to think of what might happen if he comes back to try this again. But if he does, we'll be ready for 'im and we'll stop 'im again.
KKKing Kai
[to himself, from afar] I hope Goku knows what he's doing. I sure wouldn't want for Earth to have to face that evil again.
[to Krillin] When I come back to this planet, you're all going to suffer. And when you beg me for mercy, I'll stare into your eyes as I crush the life out of you! [Vegeta leaves in his pod]
KKKing Kai
I sense a powerful force is headed for planet Namek!
KKKing Kai
No, there are five of them. Evil...it's the Ginyu Force!
KKKing Kai
They're a...a highly trained and highly secret assault team. Across the universe, wars have erupted without warning...cities and civilizations have been demolished...planets left in ruin. All with no clear idea as to how or why such wars ever began, but I know who is responsible, a secret elite army called the Ginyu Force. The private army of Frieza.
Well, now that we've been through your training, the only force they're gonna be is forced back home.
Ha ha ha ha ha. Nice one Yamcha.
Yeah. Yeah, I just made that up! Ha ha ha ha.
KKKing Kai
What's going on out here?
KKKing Kai
Hmm...I have no time for intruders, so I suggest you leave. And I suggest you do it now.
Ooh, what a strange fellow. Hey, oddball! How would you like to come and play with us?
KKKing Kai
Heh heh heh heh heh. With your limited powers, I don't think it would be a very fair fight.
Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh. Oh, you're making a joke, huh?
KKKing Kai
Well then, why don't you try me and figure it out for yourself!
KKKing Kai
It finally happened. Goku defeated Frieza! Goku has defeated Frieza! Woohoo! Frieza's been defeated! Goku has defeated Frieza! Ha ha! Woohoohoohoo! Yeah! Ha ha!
So, he really pulled it off.
You think the old kook is tellin' the truth?
Yeah, I second that, Chiaotzu.
KKKing Kai
Way to go, boys! Your training paid off handsomely. You even surprised me with some of your techniques. When I invited the Ginyu Force here, I never thought you'd beat them.
KKKing Kai
Uh...what I meant to say was that the Ginyu Force showing up here was as much of a surprise for me too...I mean it's not like I brought them here to help train you or anything...what a silly thought. So why don't we just forget about them, shall we? Good job, men! Good job! Woohoo! You know, I'll bet you three are glad I didn't invite Frieza himself here, aren't you? Get it? It's a joke.
KKKing Kai
It looks like Frieza won this one my friends. Goku had Frieza against the ropes. With his new power, Goku had Frieza totally outclassed in strength and speed.
Then how? What went wrong?
KKKing Kai
No. I wish that were possible Chiaotzu. Frieza got desperate. He was losing the battle, so he used his trump card. He couldn't beat Goku, so he destroyed Namek.
Destroyed Namek? But then, that means...
KKKing Kai
That means that there was no longer any atmosphere or air for them to breathe. I'm afraid it's all over.
KKKing Kai
[through telepathic conversation] Goku! This is King Kai! Can you hear me? Goku, please answer me! This is King Kai calling. Now look, I know you can hear me, Goku! You're just like all the others! You learn what I have to teach you and then you forget about the teacher! If you don't answer me, I'm going to start telling jokes, and I've got a million of 'em! Okay then, here goes. What did the penguin say to the astronaut?
Alright, alright. I'm here King Kai. What is it?
KKKing Kai
Goku, why aren't you attacking Frieza? He's about to reach his maximum! This could be your last chance!
I want him to reach his maximum! I wanna fight him when he's at his best!
KKKing Kai
What!? That's crazy! Ahh...Goku...is it possible that your new power has altered your judgement!? Think about it!
KKKing Kai
Just as I feared. There is no more planet Namek. It's gone. Sorry you guys. I know how much you cared about 'im.
[to himself] No! Goku! You sacrificed everything!
KKKing Kai
Goodness gracious. I guess I need to give the bad news to Gohan. It'll break his heart for sure. Oh, boy. Oh, boy...how can I tell him?
KKKing Kai
Using the Namek's dragonballs is a great idea. But I'm afraid it won't help Goku and Krillin!
KKKing Kai
Well, when the dragon restores someone's life, he brings them back to the place where they died. But Goku and Krillin died on Namek.
Oh, I get it now. Namek isn't there.
KKKing Kai
Yes. You hit the nail on the head. Namek's gone. What a shame. It was a great idea.
But can we try it anyway?
KKKing Kai
Of course you can. But I already know what would happen. Trust me. It's not something you'd wanna do to your friends. They would materialize in space, right where Namek used to be. And die a lonely death in the middle of nowhere.
[to Gohan] Ten more seconds and the Earth will be gone. I guess we'll call this game a draw!
[Cell is about to explode] Hey, you put up a good fight, Gohan. I'm proud of you.
Take care of your mother for me. She needs you. Tell her that I had to do this, Gohan.
No! Don't! [Goku uses his instant transmission to teleport the exploding Cell away from Earth]
KKKing Kai
[Goku teleports to King Kai's planet with the exploding Cell] Aah! Goku! What have you done? Are you out of your mind?
Sorry guys. This is the only place I could think to bring him.
KKKing Kai
Well, you could've called first!
Aah! Aah! [Cell explodes, killing Goku, King Kai, Bubbles, and Gregory along with him]
