Summary[]
Vegeta shows no mercy against Zarbon
After being severely beaten by Zarbon, Vegeta is taken in the rejuvenation chamber to heal. Once healed he would be questioned about the whereabouts of the remaining Dragon Balls. When he recovers, Vegeta finds Frieza's Dragon Balls and creates a diversion to sneak away with them. Ultimately, his plan works. Meanwhile, Krillin returns to Bulma looking for Gohan, so Grand Elder Guru can unlock his hidden potential. However, he finds out Gohan is looking for the Dragon Ball Vegeta hid earlier in the Namekian village's pond. He finds it and flies back to his friends.
Suddenly Vegeta appears for the Dragon Ball Krillin has. Then surprisingly Zarbon appears to take Vegeta and the Dragon Balls he stole. They have another battle, this time with Vegeta stronger and prepared. Even Zarbon's transformation does not work this time. Vegeta rams his fist into Zarbon's stomach while Zarbon begs for mercy. Vegeta blasts clean through Zarbon, killing him. Then he turns his attention to Krillin, Bulma and the Dragon Ball.
