Ten Seconds of Death

Dodoria Steps In

Zarbon warns his allies that the Namekians were deliberately targeting the scouters. Krillin pieces together a critical realization: Frieza's forces were never tracking the Dragon Balls directly. They were using scouters to detect the Namekian population and simply visiting every settlement they could find. Dodoria, furious over his destroyed scouter, declares he will handle the three warriors personally and boasts the job will take no more than ten seconds. One of the Namekians counters that the three of them together can hold their ground against him.

Slaughter in Seconds

Dodoria vanishes from sight and reappears behind one of the warriors, driving his arm clean through the man's chest. He yanks it free and fires a massive energy blast from his mouth that engulfs the second warrior. The third Namekian takes to the air and attempts to flee, but Dodoria gives chase. The warrior spins around and launches a two-handed ki blast that produces a giant explosion, and for a moment it seems as though Dodoria has been defeated. When the smoke clears, Dodoria floats completely unharmed. He rockets forward and headbutts the last warrior into a hillside, killing him on impact. Frieza tells Moori that further defiance is pointless and orders him back to the ground. The elder hesitates, but finally descends.

The Dragon Ball Changes Hands

Frieza reminds Moori that his people destroyed valuable scouters and suggests that the least he can do in return is hand over the Dragon Ball. If he remains stubborn, the children die. Moori relents under that threat, requesting only that the children be spared, and surrenders the Four-Star Ball to one of the henchmen. Frieza presses further, demanding the locations of the final two Dragon Balls, but Moori refuses to betray the remaining villages. Frieza responds by sentencing both Moori and the children to death. The elder barely has time to react before Dodoria attacks him. From the clifftop, Krillin warns Gohan that he senses a strange and powerful ki rising nearby.
