B Company Meets the Turtle Hermit

Captain Dark and his men ring Kame House with weapons drawn and demand that the supposed genius behind the Dragon Radar hand over the device along with the two Dragon Balls Goku left behind. The old master blinks at them in confusion, then calmly asks who they are. A soldier emerges from inside dragging a bewildered good Lunch and reports that no one else is home. Amused by their threats, Kame Senin asks what happens if he refuses to cooperate. Captain Dark chuckles that they will simply kill him. That is all the invitation the old master needs.

The Sneeze That Saved the Island

Kame Senin tears through Captain Dark and the soldiers with relaxed ease, plucking bullets from the air like pebbles and dropping each attacker without breaking a sweat. When one desperate soldier presses a pistol to Lunchs head and demands the Dragon Balls, the master stops and reluctantly agrees. Turtle creeps up behind Lunch with a blade of grass and tickles her nose. One wild sneeze later, the blonde haired Lunch is awake, armed, and making quick work of the remaining troops. Kame Senin has to physically drag her away before she decides to start shooting him too.

Goku Chooses to Fight Back

Deep in the undersea cavern, Goku surfaces with Bulma and Krillin at a pocket of open air. A radio call reaches General Blue confirming that B Company has been annihilated, and the dapper commander halts his own pursuit, sensing that this enemy is far more dangerous than expected. Fed up with running, Goku announces that they should turn and fight. Bulma and Krillin protest that the soldiers are armed, but Goku refuses to back down. Meanwhile Blue quietly vows to eliminate the boy, his friends, the old man, and the woman in one elegant stroke.
