Shenron, Porunga

On the battlefield!

"Hahaha."

"Ginyu, you're far too slow."

"Now that you've finally arrived, you're the only one left in the Ginyu Force."

After Vegeta had fully recovered, he saw Ginyu arrive and taunted him.

He'd been so frustrated when Cooler had been beating him down just now.

"Vegeta, it's good to see you."

"Where are those kids from Earth?"

Ginyu didn't get angry when he heard Vegeta's words.

He saw the battlefield in disarray, with only Son Goku and Vegeta there.

The two brats from Earth were nowhere to be seen.

So the person whose power level had registered as 90,000 on the Scouter just now must be this one.

He regarded Son Goku with curiosity.

"You mean Gohan and Krillin? They went to find the Dragon Balls."

"Hehehe. Your energy is incredibly powerful. You must be a worthy opponent."

Son Goku could sense Ginyu's powerful energy.

He was so excited that his blood felt like it was boiling.

"What? The Dragon Balls?"

Ginyu was stunned when he heard Son Goku's words.

This was bad!

Frieza had already gone to find the remaining Dragon Balls.

The spaceship was left without a leader, and there were still five Dragon Balls there.

The consequences would be unthinkable if those two brats from Earth got there first.

Vegeta, however, remained calm because he'd hidden the last Dragon Ball at the bottom of a fishpond.

Even if those two brats found the other Dragon Balls, they wouldn't be able to make a wish.

But Vegeta had never imagined that Bulma would find the Dragon Ball he'd hidden using the Dragon Radar.

He'd been congratulating himself for hiding one of them.

Whoosh!

Ginyu made a snap decision. A White Aura burst from his body as he flew toward the spaceship.

He no longer had any interest in fighting here. He had to hurry back and protect the Dragon Balls.

"Trying to leave? Not so fast."

Son Goku knew the alien was heading back to stop Gohan and the others from gathering the Dragon Balls.

He used Triple Kaio-ken, bringing his speed to its limit, and instantly blocked Ginyu's path.

Ginyu had no interest in fighting and flew off in another direction.

The two chased each other through the air.

Frieza's spaceship.

"Not good! We're under attack! We're under attack!"

Son Gohan and Krillin had found Bulma and Dende, and the Dragon Radar had led them all here.

The Frieza Force raised the alarm.

Suddenly, a large group of grunts rushed out of the spaceship.

Their power levels were around two or three thousand.

Within minutes, Son Gohan and Krillin had taken them all out like they were chopping melons and vegetables.

With the help of the Dragon Radar, the four of them soon found five Dragon Balls.

Son Gohan took two Dragon Balls out of System Inventory, completing the set of seven.

Dende chanted in Namekian Language to the seven Dragon Balls.

His words meant the same thing as the ones used with Earth's Dragon Balls: "Come forth, Shenron!"

In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Bulma hid behind Son Gohan, looking scared.

The seven Dragon Balls shone brilliantly as beams of light shot into the sky.

Suddenly, a toad-like dragon appeared in the air: Porunga.

"Those who have gathered the seven Dragon Balls, state your wishes, and I will grant them."

"But you have only three wishes."

Porunga's crimson eyes swept over everyone.

His imposing voice rang out.

"We finally gathered all seven Dragon Balls."

The Grand Elder, seated on his throne, smiled faintly, his wrinkled face lighting up.

I leave Planet Namek in your hands.

Frieza, who was heading toward the Grand Elder, stopped and looked up at the sky.

What was going on?

A golden monster had appeared in the direction of his spaceship.

Could... this be the dragon?

He flew toward it at full power.

Which bastard had dared to steal the Dragon Balls from me, Emperor Frieza?

Damn it! I'll tear them limb from limb and torture them slowly.

Frieza gritted his teeth. The veins in his forehead bulged, and his eyes seemed to burn with rage.

The prize he'd practically had in his hands had slipped away.

One could only imagine how furious he was.

Meanwhile!

Ginyu and Vegeta were dumbfounded.

Why had the sky suddenly gone dark?

They saw a giant creature in the distance.

It radiated golden light, making it stand out against the dark sky.

"Could that be the dragon?"

"No, it can't be. I hid one of the Dragon Balls."

"How could those two brats from Earth have gathered all seven Dragon Balls?"

"I won't let you get away with this!"

A powerful aura burst from Vegeta as he flew toward the gleaming dragon.

Ginyu was also shocked when he heard what Vegeta said.

He couldn't believe the two brats from Earth had gathered all seven Dragon Balls so quickly.

He flew toward the dragon too, hoping he wasn't too late.

Son Goku, on the other hand, saw what was happening and smiled.

He flew toward the dragon as well.

"Dende, for my first wish, I want Shenron to bring back a man on Earth named Piccolo."

"For my second wish, I want the ability to use Instant Transmission."

"For my third wish, I want to be able to survive in outer space."

Unlike the characters in the anime, Son Gohan didn't waste any time.

He told Dende all three wishes in one breath.

In the anime, the Grand Elder died before all three wishes could be granted.

Porunga disappeared along with him, and the chance to make the wishes was wasted.

Instant Transmission was an incredibly powerful ability in Dragon Ball.

Son Goku had used it to do many unbelievable things.

For example, during the Cell Saga, he used Instant Transmission to take Cell away from Earth just before he self-destructed.

When Majin Buu destroyed Earth, he used Instant Transmission to save Vegeta and Hercule.

Instant Transmission could cross the universe, save people, and even save the user.

Son Gohan's third wish was for the sake of safety.

If he could survive in outer space,

then even if the other side destroyed a planet, he would still be able to survive in space.

He could simply use the Dragon Balls to bring the planet back afterward.

"I understand, Gohan."

Dende pointed at Son Gohan and spoke to the dragon in Namekian Language, chattering away.

The Grand Elder had once instructed him to help Gohan make his wishes to the dragon.

He didn't need to worry about what wishes Gohan wanted to make.

Krillin and Bulma had no objections to Son Gohan's wishes.

Since neither of them understood Namekian Language, it all sounded like gibberish to them.

"All three wishes are simple. I will grant them now."

The dragon's crimson eyes flickered as he spoke.

On North Kai's Planet, Piccolo, who was training, vanished in a flash, leaving the halo above his head behind.

Kami also reappeared at the Lookout on Earth.

Mr. Popo was as happy as a child, wiping away tears of joy.

"The first wish has been granted. Now I will grant your second wish."

The dragon's eyes glimmered again with an eerie light.

A White Aura flowed into Son Gohan's body.

His mind cleared, and a wonderful sensation filled his body.

The ability to use Instant Transmission had entered his mind.

"The second wish has been granted. Now I will grant your third wish."

The dragon spoke again, its eyes glimmering.

Another flash of white light entered Son Gohan's body.

He felt as though every pore in his body could breathe.

Was this the ability to survive in space?

"All three wishes have been granted. Farewell."

Porunga instantly turned to stone.

The sky cleared in an instant.

Thud, thud, thud!

The seven stones fell from the sky.
