Story

Vegeta then tosses his Dragon Ball into the lake right next to the village, so that nobody will know where to find it, except him. Then he wonders what to do next. Freeza has five, and is searching for the remaining one. Then he flies off. Speaking of Freeza, he and Zarbon and the only remaining random henchman dude are still waiting on Dodoria, and think he's still chasing those little dudes. Freeza thinks Dodoria was an idiot, and they should just go search for the remaining two Dragon Balls. Zarbon and the henchman dude will go look for the two villages, and Freeza will go back to their ship with these five Dragon Balls. Zarbon and the henchman dude drop all their Dragon Balls to the ground, then take to the air. Zarbon tells the henchman dude to search that way, but notify him if he finds the village, lest the henchman dude get killed by strong Nameckians. No matter what, they'll return to the ship in three hours. Then they both fly off.

Freeza thinks that Vegeta is probably already searching, and is sure to come after the Dragon Balls they already have. And when Vegeta does come, they'll just take the two he has, and have all seven. Freeza then lifts the five Dragon Balls off the ground telekinetically, and zooms off with them in his little pod thing. Back at the cave, Blooma and everyone asks Dende about this Eldest, and Dende says he was the person who gave birth to all the Nameckians here. He was the only person who survived the unusual weather, and he repopulated the planet afterwards. "I'm the 108th child of Eldest." Blooma asks how he* could've given birth if he was the only one, and Dende says by producing eggs from his mouth. (Just like Piccolo Daimaou did. >_<) Blooma says that's really different, and thinks this Eldest must be a woman. Dende then asks what a "woman" is. Blooma asks if there isn't two types of Nameckians, man and woman, like his mother and father for example. Dende doesn't understand this two type thing at all. Blooma thinks this is a boring planet if it doesn't have men or women.

Kuririn changes the subject and wants to know why they should go to see the Eldest (as Blooma says she's glad she's not a Nameckian). "Ah! The people who attacked our village already have four Dragon Balls... And then, now you've said a lot of people are being killed in that direction, right?" Kuririn says yeah, it was probably Vegeta, and Gohan says there's no one left, they've been wiped out. Dende says that means there's hardly anyone remaining on this planet now. Kuririn says that Vegeta must have the Dragon Ball from the village he attacked, meaning there's only one left. "Might that last Dragon Ball be held by Eldest-san!?" Dende says yeah. Kuririn then freaks out, because then even though Freeza's troop no longer have Scouters, Vegeta can detect ki, and so he'll probably be after the seventh Dragon Ball there. Dende cries and says they must hurry then, and Kuririn agrees, because they can't have Freeza or Vegeta granted eternal life. Kuririn says he'll go, and asks Gohan to stay with Blooma-san. It's dangerous if too many of them go.

Then Kuririn asks Dende how long it would take them to get there walking, so as not to be noticed by Vegeta. Dende says it's about thirty days walking, and Kuririn says that's no good at all, so they'll have to fly. They'll just have to hide again if Vegeta notices them. Then Dende and Kuririn each fly off, and tell Blooma and Gohan to also be careful. Kuririn thinks about how strong Freeza and Vegeta are along the way, and thinks they'll just hide with the Eldest's Dragon Ball for the five and a half days or so it takes Gokuu to get there. Speaking of whom, Gokuu is out in space doing flips and stuff in his ship. He's exhausted, but thinks he should move up to 30G now. Then Kaiou-sama contacts him. Then he asks Gokuu if he's in space, and then remembers that he should be on his way to Planet Nameck, and thinks it'll be good if he finds the Dragon Balls there. Gokuu can't believe Kaiou-sama didn't know that, and says there's bad stuff happening on Planet Nameck. Kaiou-sama says to tell him later, he has good news first. He has guests here. There's four guests, and they've cleared Snake Road in a much shorter time than Gokuu did. Four people he knows well. They've come here for stern training like Gokuu did. Tenshinhan, Chaozu, Piccolo, and Yamcha!

*Another case of the Japanese lack of third person pronouns. Dende was not referring to Eldest as either he or she.
