As it gets closer to crushing them, Krillin and Gohan see sharp icicles hanging from the ceiling and blast at them, forcing them to fall into the gigantic snow ball, which merely ends up adding sharp shards to its exterior rather than halting it. Soon, their ice platform hits a cliff, where they fall, outmaneuvering the huge spiky snowball.   The Namekians attack Frieza's soldiers 13. "Namek's Defense" - plays when Frieza's soldiers attack the Namekian warriors but are quickly eliminated by them since the Nameks were hiding their battle strength. One soldier is kicked through a tree and slams into a mountain. The Namekians dodge every blast from the laser guns and proceed to halt three more soldiers with fierce punches, knocking them into the ground. One of the Namekians creates a barrier, blocking the blasts, which ricochet and hit another soldier, frying him. Another soldier is blasted into the air and is sent sprawling towards Zarbon, who proceeds to kick him away into the water. Three more soldiers are eliminated as Zarbon begins to question the earlier power reading of the Namekians. Dodoria explains that the Namekians have raised their battle strength.

Vegeta tells Dodoria he's a coward when he's not hiding behind Frieza's wrath. Dodoria begsin to beg for his life, saying that he'll reveal the secret of Vegeta's planet's fate. Vegeta loosens his grip, preparing to listen to Dodoria's story.   Vegeta attacks a Namekian village 16.

Zarbon finds Vegeta, Krillin, and Bulma 19. "Zarbon's Mission" - plays the instant when Vegeta arrives in front of Bulma and Krillin after following Krillin, surprising them and leaving them in fear. Krillin admits that he was so preoccupied with his own increase in potential that he didn't notice he was being followed. Vegeta says he's found them, and they have a Dragon Ball, just what he's looking for. He recommends that they do not try to escape because Bulma will quickly suffer the consequences. Just as Vegeta turns, Zarbon also arrives for the same goal, the Dragon Ball that Krillin has in his possession. Zarbon smiles, glad that he's found the Earthlings along with Vegeta.   Zarbon realizes Vegeta is stronger than before 20. "Gohan, the Hunted" - plays directly after Vegeta infuriates Zarbon, forcing him to fiercely kick at him. Vegeta dodges and takes to the sky as Zarbon quickly follows him. Bulma remarks that Zarbon is her hero due to his majestic appearance.

Vegeta takes to the sky and lands behind him, slamming him into the ground, head-first. Vegeta takes to the sky once more, slamming into Recoome as he lays on the ground. He then proceeds to grab Recoome's leg, twirling him in extremely fast motion and releasing him into a mountain full force.
