Full Plot Summary

spoilers

Frieza pins Gohan to the ground and starts pressing his foot on his head to crush him, while Vegeta, who failed to extinguish Frieza with a variant of his Galick Gun, is frozen with fear. Dende, now using his healing powers given to him by Guru, heals Krillin's injuries and the Earthling cuts off Frieza's tail with a Destructo Disc, forcing him to stop torturing his friend. Krillin is able to distract Frieza long enough for Dende to heal Gohan as well. Though they are both back to full strength, it all seems useless because none of them are a match for Frieza. Suddenly, Piccolo finally arrives at the scene and tells them that he will take on Frieza alone. Krillin and Gohan don't understand why he would do this, but Piccolo insists. With his new strength acquired from fusion, he is confident that he can take down Frieza.
