At last the World tournament has its quarter finalists, drawing lots. Tarble looking at his number seven, and to Goku who was last to pick and got his number eight. This meant that Tarble would be fighting his possible fellow Saiyan, part of him felt excited by it but another part was worries. Goku seemed carefree, speaking with friends. Interest switching to the fights as Tien and Yamcha take stage. Now I am going to be skipping the fights at this point, as they do not change. Tien breaks Yamcha's leg in an act of ruthlessness, Jackie Chun tricked the Man-wolf and turns him back humans, and Krillin defeats Chiaotzu due to his lack of mental training (Math) and forced into a ring out. Goku still remarks on Chiaotzu using Master Tao's technique and Tien informs Master Shen. Due to this, when Tarble and Goku are called up, Shen demands for Goku's death. It is unclear if Goku really did deal with his young brother, but any who claims to have beaten him were to meet a fate that Tao would prefer, Death.

On being called out, Tarble stepped to the ring. Both Goku and Tarble getting to other ends. Goku still upset at Tien's actions to Yamcha, Tarble noticing his vision shift. "Keep your eyes on me, Tien is not your opponent. I am the wall you have to break down first." Tarble said, Shen mentally yelling at him to not bother prolonging the fight and to just kill him. Tarble ignoring the voice in his head at the moment.

"Don't worry about me, I am plenty excited to fight you as well." Goku said bring all his attention at Tarble. The announcer remarking that all three Students of the Crane school and Turtle school have a battle in the quarter finals, both having won at least one bout and this final one would decide which school had a greater chance of winning the prize money.

The bell rings and the two warriors first stare each other down. Both entering into a battle stance, Tarble entering into one he was originally trained in. Positioning himself in the Elite Saiyan stance, much like Vegeta's when he first shown in the manga and show. Goku smiling as he could tell that the fight was going to be fun, Tarble focused on Goku with an intensity he did not often show.

With a blur, the two appeared in the center and struck at each other. The clash let out a small thunderous sound with how powerful each of their blows connected. Tarble held back at first, finding Goku was able to push him back, striking rapidly that Tarble was forced to block just in time for. Soon the two broke away and stood before each other in another ready stance.

"Your pretty strong, I am getting more and more excited to keep fighting." Goku remarked a smile on his face as his tail swayed openly.

"Your pretty strong as well." Tarble said keeping a stern face at the smaller saiyan. "Might I ask, why did you get so strong?"

"Why? So I could fight stronger fighters and have more fun." Goku said seeming a bit curious. "Why did you?"

Tarble remained quiet for a moment as the crowd was getting restless. "I trained to get strong, because I had to become strong." Tarble finally answered, not really enlightening Goku on his reasoning. Tarble then dashed to Goku, locking in once more and forcing him back. Letting a little more strength and intent in his blows to keep Goku from pushing him back.

Due to Tarble not showing off strange Techniques, Goku and his fight was much more a straight forward punch for punch battle. Tarble could feel his strength soon overwhelming Goku and finally pushing him back. Tarble wanted to test Goku, wanting to see if he was like the other saiyans or if earth changed him. For that, he forced Goku into position.

Tarble's back now to the crowd, knocking Goku so his back was to the waiting hall for the other martial artists. Once they broke away from each other, Tarble placed his hands behind him. "Goku, do you know that Kamehameha that Yamcha and Krillin used?" He said holding position.

"I do." Goku said confused.

"Then prepare one, I am going to prove my own attack is greater." Tarble said as he began shifting his Ki into his palms.

"Alright, don't cry when you lose." Goku said smiling as he entered position. "Ka! me!"

"Galick!"

"Ha! Me!"

"Gun!"

"HA!"

"FIRE!"

The blue and purple energy blasts thrusted forward, the two beams colliding and merging. The two held the blast, the energy pushing at the air and whipping it around them. The wind spinning around them and making a small twisting current, not enough to make a twister. Tarble holding his energy to matching Goku, Goku on the other hand began trying to push harder. The energy center pushing toward Tarble.

~Just as I thought, like any other Saiyan. Only cares about his own victory.~ Tarble thought looking back to the crowd, feeling Goku's beam getting closer and closer. Nearly at his palms as Goku's Victory over the beam struggle was closer and closer to his own victory. ~I cannot let someone like this exist.~ Tarble said hands shaking as he still had yet to take a life. ~But if I let him continue this way, he will only prove to be a threat to this world!~

How will Tarble continue, with Goku over-powering the beam clash and Tarble seeming to focus on the crowd behind him. Find out next time on Chapter six: The fate of two tails.
