Story

The little plane thing lands, and Chichi immediately runs out, jumps over Gokuu, and straight to Gohan. "Gohan-chan!!! Gohan-chan!!! Are you okay!!! Hold together!!! Ma's here!!!" Kuririn tells her that Gohan's okay, but it's Gokuu who's in really bad condition. Chichi says she won't let him leave her side ever again so bad things won't happen to him anymore, while Kuririn mumbles more about Gokuu. Then Kuririn walks over towards Gokuu, where Blooma, Karin-sama, and Kamesennin are, as Gokuu tells them the Saiyan got away. Kuririn tells Blooma-san that Yamcha-san, as well as everyone but the four of them, were killed.

Blooma isn't worried, because they'll just use the Dragon Balls to return them to life again in one year. But Gokuu breaks it to her that Piccolo is dead, so Kami-sama is dead, and the Dragon Balls are gone. Blooma says it must be a lie. Four of them had survived, and since all she sees is Gohan, Gokuu, and Kuririn, the fourth must be Piccolo! But then Yajirobe comes up to her from behind and says he's the fourth. Blooma can't believe this, and then starts wailing about Yamcha being dead. Kamesennin can't believe even he has survived Piccolo, and then Yajirobe asks if they'd like it better if he was Piccolo. Then Yajirobe goes on about how if it weren't for him, the other three wouldn't be alive right now.

Karin-sama hushes Yajirobe, and then says they need to get the injured to a hospital, since there's no more Senzu. So now they're all in the little plane thing, and it's night now, with Kamesennin piloting while Blooma is still crying. Kuririn is directing him towards everyone's dead bodies, and he tells Blooma-san not to cry, as he has some unbelievable news -- there may be a way to return to life everyone who were killed by the Saiyans. Gokuu remembers Kuririn saying something like that before, and wants him to tell them. But Kuririn says it has to wait, then tells Mutenroushi-sama to land here so they can get everyone's bodies.

They've gathered everyone, except Chaozu, whom Kuririn explains had blown himself up, thus there are no remains. Kamesennin is really pissed as he looks at the bodies in the refrigeration units, and Blooma says she'll pilot this time since she's the more level-headed one this time. Some time passes, and then Gohan wakes up. He wonders what he's doing here in Mother's lap, and asks about the Saiyan. Kuririn explains that everything's okay, and he got away. Gohan asks about Father, and Gokuu says he's behind him. Then Yajirobe asks Chichi why she's only worried about her son and not her husband. She yells at him that it was Gokuu-sa's fault that Gohan-chan was hurt by the bad guys, and Gohan insists it's not. She's more concerned with Gohan's future than the Earth's. Yajirobe asks Gokuu if it's okay to hit her.

Blooma then asks Kuririn-kun to explain what he mentioned before. "Those two Saiyans seem to've learned from Gokuu's older brother's radio about the Dragon Balls, and that they grant wishes... So, they came here to get the Dragon Balls. But then, they said something strange when they saw Piccolo's face... 'He's a Nameckian.' Piccolo and Kami-sama are both aliens it seems... What they said afterwards was more important... 'So that saying about Planet Nameck having mysterious balls that grant any wish must be true... So then, it's okay if we just go to Planet Nameck.'" Yajirobe doesn't believe it, but Gohan says he heard it too, that the Nameckians created the mysterious balls.

So Kuririn says if they were somehow able to go to this Planet Nameck, they could probably get the Dragon Balls there, and everyone can be returned to life. Gohan gets excited that even Piccolo-san will come back. And Kuririn says that would also bring back Kami-sama, and the Dragon Balls here would be restored! But, Blooma hates to break it to him that he's just dreaming. She asks him how he'll find out where this planet is. "Uh..." Gokuu says he'll contact Kaiou-sama to ask the location. Kaiou-sama is sure to know.
