DragonBallZ Review Chapter 4: Road Trip
Phew! The Battle of Nappa and Vegeta is over! But at a high price! Yamcha, TN, Chow Sue, and Piccolo are all DEAD! And the Earth's Dragonballs have been destroyed!
As the survivors of the Battle of Nappa and Vegeta recover in the hospital, King Kai, (the martial arts trainer who taught Goku in the Afterlife) contacted Goku telepathically and he told Goku that there was a second set of Dragonballs!

Now that there is a second set of Dragonballs, they use those to wish back all of those who were killed in the battle! Except there was one problem. The second set of Dragonballs was on a planet called Namek. And it was over 10,000 Light Years Away! It would take way over 10,000 Years to get to it!!! However, Nappa left something behind in the battle, HIS SPACESHIP. Bulma decided to use Nappa's spaceship to get to Namek faster because Saiyan Spaceships are much faster than Earth's. But when Bulma was testing out some of the controls on the ship, she set it to SELF-DISTRUCT! "OOPS!" That was the DragonBallZ gang's only ticket to Namek! "Thanks a lot Bulma!"
Meanwhile in Outer Space very far from Earth, a private space station housing aliens dressed up in the Saiyan uniform (but they're not Saiyan) saw a beat up space pod on it's way to the landing pad. The space pod crashed at the space station, and then…………could it be!?!? Is it………HIM!? NO! IT CAN'T BE! ……YES,…………it's……VEGETA!!! Alive, but not well.

Vegeta literally crawls out of his space pod severely injured from the battle on Earth. Then he faints without saying a word. The aliens get Vegeta into a recovery tank ASAP. They were all puzzled at why he had failed to destroy an easily conquered planet like Earth.
Meanwhile back on Earth, Mr.Popo (Kami's servant) told Bulma about a secret that Kami once told him. About a spaceship, far away in the mountains. Bulma and Mr.Popo found it. It was a Namek Spaceship! It was covered in moss and rust but it still worked. They took it for a test drive, and in less than 20 seconds they were outside of the planet Jupiter! That's faster than Nappa's spaceship! When Nappa and Vegeta made it to Jupiter it took them several more days to reach Earth! This Namek spaceship had only one destination in mind, NAMEK! It was like a ferry from Named to Earth and back to Namek again.
Bulma told the others that there was a quicker way to Namek! Instead of 10,000 years it would only take one month! 2 months Round Trip. However, Bulma needed help and protection. Goku was in special medical care from the injuries that Vegeta gave him. But Gohan and Krillin were ready to go. Just then Chi-Chi (Gohan's Mom and Goku's wife) did not want Gohan to go on another dreadful suicide mission! But she still saw and spoke to Gohan like as if he was still a little baby boy, when Gohan is really one of the strongest people on Earth! Gohan told his Mom that he was going to Namek and that was final. He had to help bring Mr. Piccolo back to life.
Here's a picture of Goku and Chi-Chi when they were younger and just before they got married. Why am I showing this in this chapter I don't know!?
Everybody had packed up to go to Namek, Bulma suited up, she, Gohan, and Krillin were off to the planet Namek to find the missing second set of Dragonballs. Little did they know that Namek would change both they're lives and US THE VIEWERS! FOR DRAGONBALLZ HISTORY WOULD BE MADE ON NAMEK!
On the Saiyan space station, Vegeta had finally recovered. And every one of the aliens were looking at Vegeta weird because he lost to Earth. Which to them as you can tell, they'd be making fun of him. Vegeta was then told by his doctor that Vegeta's and all of the Saiyan's boss named "Frieza" (REMEMBER THAT NAME FOR IT SHALL HAUNT YOUR DREAMS!) was on his way to the planet Namek to find the Dragonballs too!!! Vegeta was stunned, how did Frieza know about the Dragonballs!? WAIT! Of course! Frieza must have intercepted Raditz's S.O.S signal! See Chapter 1. Now Frieza is on his way to Namek to find the Dragonballs! And Frieza is someone that not even Vegeta would DARE mess with! For FRIEZA IS THE STRONGEST FIGHTER IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!! And that's no exaggeration. Frieza has no equal in the entire Universe!!!!!!
HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE TYRANT!!! Don't let his looks deceive you! The people in the black shadows are the only people in the Universe who are second strongest to Frieza.
However some Saiyans have been getting closer and closer to being as strong as Frieza. But Frieza doesn't like competition! So he's going after the Dragonballs for insurance. Vegeta ran off to his spacepod and flew to Namek full speed ahead! Vegeta had to beat Frieza to the Dragonballs. Now there are 3 groups headed for Namek!
Only about 1 or 2 weeks into the flight to Namek Bulma, Gohan, and Krillin encounter something in space! An Invisible Spaceship abducted them! And then while in the spaceship they were surrounded by a young aged army, armed with high tech weapons. And to make matters worse they are holding Bulma hostage! What are Gohan and Krillin going to do!?!? Can they free Bulma and get out of this insane spacecraft? Who will get the Dragonballs on Namek first? Will it be on the side of good, or evil? Watch DragonBallZ to find out more about this part of DBZ because I'm not telling you here!
"Next Time on DragonBallZ Review: Vegeta and Frieza race on to who gets all 7 Dragonballs first. Next time on DragonBallZ Review. Chapter 5: Scavenger Hunt on Namek.
