Summary:

Son Goku Strikes Back!
Still at the bottom of the Karin Tower, Upa studies closely at the top, wondering if Goku ever made it to the top of the tower. Back at the village, Tao has now received his new clothes. He thanks the tailor and then thinks that he should go off now and find the next Dragon Ball. His thinking is disrupted when the tailor asks for his fee, making Tao ask if he really expects money from Tao Pai Pai, the world's greatest assassin!? The tailor begs him, saying he has to make a living too. Tao tries to make him a deal, saying that instead of paying, he will kill someone for him. Tao also tells him that he should be very grateful, saying that his cost may also be the equal of what he makes for the rest of his life. The tailor tells him no, that he wants no one killed. Tao smiles, asking if he would like to die instead, and then puts his right index finger on the man's head, killing him instantly.

Upa, still looking, hopes Goku comes down. He is surprised when Tao comes back, on the same pillar. Upa, with an ax, ells him that he will avenge his father now! Tao ignores him, saying he knows there is a Dragon Ball here and wants it. Upa throws the ax, which Tao dodges. Tao then kicks Upa in the air and grabs him. He repeats his question, where is the Dragon Ball!? Upa tries to breathe, while saying he would never tell. Tao tells him that he will just kill him now, since he can use the radar to find it exactly. Tao then throws Upa to the tower at almost top speed. Goku, after jumping off the tower, sees Upa and yells for Kintoun. He flies very fast, with Upa just about hitting the wall, when Goku finally grabs him! Goku smiles, saying he made it, while Upa is still trying to put pieces of the puzzle together. Tao, possibly the most surprised he's ever been, acts like he's seen a ghost. Upa hugs Goku, saying he made it. Goku scolds him, however, telling him he said to hide. Tao, just staring at Goku, says that this must be a joke. Upa then asks Goku if he made it to the top and drank the water, which Goku says yes to quickly. Upa cheers for him, while Goku asks him to stay on Kintoun.

Goku then squares off to Tao, telling him if he wants the Dragon Ball, the he won't get it! Tao then asks Goku how did he survive his Dodon Pa? Goku tells him that his Dragon Ball was in his shirt pocket and it saved him. Tao explains that he is just lucky, for if that ball wasn't there, then he would be long gone. He goes on to say, that there is no more luck, and should have stayed in hiding. Tao smiles, saying that he can die or he can hand over the ball. Goku flexes, saying that he won't give up, and won't give the Dragon Ball either! Tao puts up three fingers, yelling he will die in three seconds! He jumps towards Goku, making Goku stay on guard. Goku pushes himself backwards, where Tao is above him, allowing Goku to use all fours to knock Tao in the air. Goku jumps up, and then jumps after Tao, kicking him in the air. Tao hits the tower, making Upa wonder how he did that?

Goku lands after Tao, saying that three seconds have been up. Tao gets up, saying he couldn't have done this three days ago, so what happened? Goku tells him he wasn't hiding, but training on the top of the pole! Tao can't believe, for three days of training couldn't have done this. He then remembers where he is, which is Karin Sanctuary. Tao asks if he has been trained by Karin, which makes Goku ask how he knew? Tao thinks to himself, if Karin is actually here, which he thought was a legend. Tao then gets in a fighting stance, saying that he likes the extra info, as well as the exercise.
