Bulma warns everyone to buckle up, and tells the computer to begin the landing sequence. The ship drops like a rock, then plows through a wooded area, stopping on a dime at the edge of a cliff. Looking out the view-port, Kuririn is still skeptical, and Gohan suggests they check for Dragonballs using Bulma's Dragon Radar. However, before she gets the chance, the ship tips forward and drops over the cliff!

     Bulma wakes up to see two figures watching over her. They both bear a passing resemblance to Kami-sama, though one is short and stocky. He introduces himself as Raichi, and his taller friend as Zarkuro. They tell her they found them at the bottom of a cliff, and gave them emergency medical treatment, for which Bulma thanks them, then wakes Kuririn and Gohan.

     Raichi and Zarkuro treat Bulma, Kuririn and Gohan to a meal, and wish them luck in finding the Dragonballs. The three of them wonder how the Namekians knew so quickly what their purpose was. After a brief telekinetic magic show by Zarkuro, Kuririn realizes that if Kami-sama knew so much about people he encountered, it isn't surprising that others of his race would too. Bulma asks about the spaceship, and they all go to a nearby storage shed where Raichi and Zarkuro had placed it. It has sustained a few bumps and scratches, but is otherwise in good shape. Bulma takes out her Dragon Radar, and it picks up signals from Dragonballs local to the planet, three of which are pretty close!

     Bulma produces an air-car from her collection of capsules, but before they can leave, Raichi warns them against using such a small vehicle, what with all the indigenous beasts running around. He offers to take them in his vehicle, a noisy round pod of an aircraft, and they take off. As Zarkuro surveys the damage to their spaceship, the others land near the location of the first Dragonball. Bulma monitors her Radar while Kuririn, Gohan and Raichi search the bed of a river. Raichi finally comes up with it, and everyone rejoices.

     Meanwhile, Vegeta's recovery in the watery healing tank continues. The attendant monitoring his condition discovers that Vegeta is once again conscious. He is re-living the battle on Earth in his mind. Back on Earth, Goku gives no warning before throwing a punch as he lay in bed, startling Chichi and the rest of the ward. Chichi clocks Goku in the forehead, telling him to stay still and recover from his injuries.

     The next Dragonball is in an area of ancient ruins. They follow the Radar's signal down a flight of stairs with paintings on the walls. Kuririn remarks that the Namekians of long ago look very different from the ones today. Bulma traces the signal from the Dragonball to an ancient sarcophagus and reaches inside to grab it — only then realizing what she is doing does she start to scream in terror!

     Back in the aircraft, Raichi suggests they find one more Dragonball before nightfall. Bulma becomes quietly suspicious of the old Namekian's motives. They come across the site of a third Dragonball, and land their craft. After getting out, Bulma realizes the Dragonball's signal has started to move. Following the signal, Bulma trips into a large footprint. Everyone looks up to see a giant dinosaur, who swallows the Dragonball before their eyes! Bulma begins to chase after the dinosaur, and everyone else follows her. Raichi stops the pursuit. Bulma confronts him about wanting to steal all the Dragonballs from them once gathered. He denies, of course, and before the argument can continue, they hear a pained roar from the dinosaur. Climbing into the aircraft to investigate, Raichi shows them that the dinosaur wandered into a toxic swamp and was being dissolved alive. Raichi knew the lake was there, which is why he stopped their pursuit of the dinosaur, and Bulma apologizes for her accusation. He advises against going after this Dragonball, but says he has a diving suit that will last about 10 seconds in the swamp.

     Raichi hovers the craft right above the dinosaur's skeleton, and a suited-up Gohan jumps in with instructions that after seven seconds, they will pull him back up. Gohan finds the ball, but after the seven seconds are up and Raichi starts reeling him in, the rope has dissolved somewhat and breaks! Seeing what has gone wrong, Gohan starts paddling for the surface. His suit starts to dissolve around him, and he realizes he won't make it! Turning to face the swamp floor, he launches a Masenko blast, propelling him upward and out of danger!
