A/n: What to chapters in one day? Yes to kick off Jubilant June and as an apology for my Hiatus I'm posting not one but two chapters. Enjoy! Also quick thanks to xconversegirl99x who was able to review before I posted this chapter and let me know I was inconsistent with the way I spelt Tao. As always I own nothing.
Chapter 29: Climbing the tower
"Those must be those balls they wanted. Mission accomplished," Tao said looking into the small backpack Goku was keeping the Dragon balls in.
"You! You monster!" Gohan growled trying to keep his anger in check and resist the urge to kill the man. Tao wasn't supposed to die yet and Gohan knew if he threw one punch at Tao he would go Super Saiyan and kill the man. The only thing keeping him from charged forward was knowing his father wasn't dead. If Goku had died he would have been bleeding heavily but there no blood at all.
"You killed my father and friend!" The Indian child yelled throwing a rock at Tao which he simply used his breath to blow back and hit the child in the face leaving a bruise and causing him to start crying again.
"Don't you know how lucky you both are to be alive? You two should thank me!" Tao scoffed before using a fallen log and throwing in the air to air surf away.
Meanwhile
The Red Ribbon army's leader picked up his phone after in rang for the second time.
"Hello?"
After a couple minutes of listening to the other person on the line talk the leader gasped.
"What!"
After a couple more minutes he hung up.
"What's the problem sir?" The Red Ribbon Army's leaders assistant asked obviously very confused.
The leader gave his assistant a very serious look.
"Get me on the phone with Tao immediately!"

"F-father if only I were stronger…" The Indian boy said trying not to break down again. He with a little help from "Roy" Has finished digging a grave for the Indian boy's father.
It wasn't a very good grave but at least they tried.
The Indian boy started to head over to Goku to dig his grave. Gohan stayed quiet on the matter. He knew Goku was alive but didn't want to seem suspicious nor did he want to his father to be buried alive. Thankfully he didn't have to do anything because before the Indian boy could get a shovel full of dirt Goku started moving.
"N…nnh…" Goku moaned.
Gohan smiled and ran over.
"Y-you're still alive!" The Indian boy cried out happily.
"I knew that Tao guy couldn't kill you!" Gohan exclaimed smiling.
"Owww…" Goku moaned as he sat up.
Suddenly the four star ball dropped out of the hole in his Gi were he was shot by the death ray.
"The dragon ball!" Goku exclaimed.
"It must have took most of the blow for you!" Gohan explained now realizing how his father had survived that.
"Huh…Grandpa saved my life…" Goku mumbled looking at the ball in awe.
Goku then looked over to a heap of dirt.
"Is that your dad's grave?" Goku asked Indian boy.
"Yes…I wish he were still alive too…"
Goku looked at the dragon ball he holding and then at "Roy."
As much as Gohan wanted to go home he couldn't leave this little Indian bit without the only family he had left. As much as Gohan wanted to go home it would be evil to not do what him and Goku were both thinking especially since it wasn't the Indian man's time. Gohan nodded his and Goku looked over to the Indian boy.
"All Right! I'll gather all the dragon balls and bring you dad back to life!"
"What? B-but what about your friends wish?" The Indian asked referring to Gohan.
"My wish can wait. What's important right now is bringing your father back," Gohan replied.
"T-thank you but that man took all of the balls that were in your bag,"
"I guess he didn't know I was carrying the four-star ball. He'll probably come back for it…and when he does, I'm gonna take all the rest back from him,"
"He sure is strong though! No way could I beat him in a match…first time I've ever run into somebody like that,"
An idea suddenly struck the Indian child.
"Hey why don't you try climbing Koran's tower? They say whoever makes it to the top by climbing will meet an old master who will allow them to drink from a liquid known as the Holy Water and once they drink it there strength will be multiplied tenfold! I bet you could do it!"
"At the top there a medicine that makes you stronger?" Goku asked in disbelief.
"I know there is!" The child exclaimed certain he was right.
"I can't get any help climbing it right?"
"Uh-huh the master of the tower makes sure,"
"O-kay I'm gonna try it!"
Goku put the four star ball in a little sack and attached it to his belt.
"That guy'll probably be coming back to take this Dragon ball so you better go hide somewhere okay?"
"Ok!" Replied the child.
"Roy if by the time that guy comes back if I'm not back yet make sure you protect him,"
Gohan was going to argue but he knew his father was only thinking logically so he nodded his head yes.
"All right I'm on my way!"
"Good luck," Gohan and the child chorused.
Goku then leapt off of the ground and started climbing.
A/n: Kind of short yes. Good place to end though yes. See you later.
