Frieza executes Cargo with a precise Death Beam, and Dodoria snaps Moori's neck moments later. Unable to contain his rage, Gohan launches himself into the fray and kicks Dodoria through a building. Krillin follows with an attack of his own, grabs Dende, and flees with Gohan. Frieza orders Dodoria to pursue the mysterious intruders before they can escape.
Moori staggers from Dodoria's blow but survives with only minor damage. He confronts Frieza, reminding him that the deal was to leave after receiving the Dragon Ball. Frieza counters that without all seven, a single Dragon Ball is worthless, and since Moori's people destroyed the scouters, he owes them the locations of the remaining two. Moori refuses, declaring he would rather die than sell out his fellow Namekians. Zarbon questions whether they can still locate the other Dragon Balls without scouters, and Frieza assures him they will simply search for villages the old-fashioned way. He orders that the elder and both children be killed.
Krillin seethes with anger from the clifftop as Moori tells Dende and Cargo to run. The elder rises and shouts that he will show Frieza the pride of the Namekians. Frieza responds by firing a small, precise blast that sails past Moori's shoulder and strikes Cargo, killing the child instantly. Dende screams his brother's name as Gohan's fury reaches its breaking point. Dodoria seizes Moori, locks him in a headlock, and breaks his neck before dropping the elder's body to the ground. Krillin pleads with Gohan to restrain himself, insisting there is nothing they can do against opponents this powerful.
Dende tries to flee, but Dodoria intercepts the boy and prepares to strike. Gohan can hold back no longer. He screams for Dodoria to stop, launches himself off the cliff, and delivers a devastating kick that sends Dodoria's head crashing through a nearby wall. Frieza and Zarbon notice the unknown attacker. As Dodoria recovers and demands to know who hit him, Gohan declares he intends to beat him senseless. Before Dodoria can fully stand, Krillin swoops in with a kick of his own, scoops up Dende, and shouts for Gohan to follow. The three of them rocket away at top speed. Frieza notes the intruders are not Namekians and orders Dodoria to chase them down. Dodoria takes off in pursuit, already closing the gap as Krillin urges Gohan to fly faster.
