AN: This is our first peak at Universe Twelve's finalists! The Grand Minister isn't sure what to think of this character, so he decides to get some questions answered!


"Time's up, Universe Twelve!" The Grand Minister announced, the stage that was torn to pieces was replaced just like it had with the other Universes. "The first round of the Tournament of Power is finished!"

Looking down at the newly assembled arena, he noticed there was once again only one person standing on the platform. It was no surprise to the High Priest who the finalist was. There had been rumors of this warrior throughout the Cosmos. Honestly, the Deity was surprised he even chose to participate. These types of Tournaments were childsplay for Sinthe.

Universe Twelve had the highest Mortal Rating of all the Cosmos. The High Priest believes a lot of it dwelled within the one creature in front of him. The two have met on a couple of occasions. The Attendant of that Universe likes to keep him around his home. The Grand Minister believed it was something of the same arrangement as Goku and Vegeta on Whis' planet.

The Grand Minister hasn't been keeping close tabs on Sinthe as he did with Universe Seven. Perhaps I need to have a word with Martinu. I must learn more about this being from the Twelfth Universe.

Although he didn't seem malicious in any way, the Deity couldn't help but feel as though something wasn't right here. Normally, the crowd would be cheering for their fellow comrade. Every other Universe erupted into applause once they saw a winner of the battle. With this being on the platform, all eyes were on him and not in a good way. It seemed as though every person in the stands was glaring at him.

The Grand Minister began to wonder who in the Cosmos this being was to all these people.

"Congratulations!" The Deity clapped as he descended to the platform with the Omni Kings. Zeni and Zeno still have yet to say a word this entire time.

"Thank you, Grand Minister." Sinthe bowed respectfully, his voice low and commanding. "When will I be getting my wish on the Super Dragon Balls?"

The High Priest was taken aback at his question. "Well, this was only the first round of the Tournament. You must win the second round of matches in order to receive the wish."

"I see.."

"Don't be too hard on yourself," Abi appeared out of nowhere. "I'm sure you'll win the Tournament!"

"And who might you be?" The Grand Minister's eyes were wide, the woman even took him by surprise. The Deity didn't sense her energy anywhere. Several red flags were showing themselves to the High Priest.

"My name is Abi, I'm Sinthe's partner." The woman had a kind smile. However her eyes were an icy blue, they chilled the Omni Kings. "I didn't mean to intrude, we're very close. I can't stand to be away from him for long."

"Uh…Ok?..." The Grand Minister tried his best to maintain his composure. This unorthodox behavior has only been allowed by one other individual. As the Deity looked to his two companions, they were also frozen in shock. Zeni and Zeno's guards appeared behind them.

"May we leave now?" Sinthe raised a brow.

"Of course. Please meet with Martinu in sixteen days for the second round."

The man nodded before he turned on his heel, taking his partner's hand in his own. The two teleported away instantly.

"Hmm.." The Grand Minister was perplexed at the behavior of these two beings. However, he had other matters to attend to. Looking towards the crowd, who also had shocked expressions, the High Priest waved towards them. The Deity gave them the same speech he gave the other Universes, they were welcome to observe the second round from their meeting place. After the final pleasantries were over, the Kais took all of the contestants back to their home planets.

"Uh oh…" Zeno whispered.

"Goku might be in trouble.." Zeni looked at his companion with a worried look.

Looking at the little blue Deities, the Grand Minister raised a brow. "What makes you say that, sires?"

"Dunno.." Zeno shrugged.

"Just a feeling."

"Hmmm… Interesting." The High Priest teleported Zeni and Zeno back to the Palace. Once they were home, The Deity requested the presence of the Destroyer and Attendant of the Twelfth Universe. The trio waited in the Grand Minister's office. Both Omni Kings sat on the couch next to each other. Their feet began to swing back and forth as they waited impatiently.

Within minutes, there was a knock at the door. "You may enter." The Deity who was sitting at the desk mentioned.

Martinu and Giin both entered the Grand Minister's office. The heavier set woman had a confused look on her face. "What do we owe the pleasure of this visit, father?"

"I'm sorry about the rush, we just had a few questions about the winner of the first round of the Tournament."

"Ah.." the Attendant nodded, a sigh escaping her lips. "He's a little rough around the edges, says exactly what he means. Sinthe can seem very stand-offish, but he's a strong warrior. I believe he will win the Tournament of Power and give the Omni Kings an amazing show!"

"Really?" Zeni said with a smile.

"How amazing?"

"Super amazing." Giin mentioned with a smile as he bowed towards the Omni Kings. "I've witnessed his skills first hand, and he is possibly stronger than some of the other Gods of Destruction. Sinthe is a force to be reckoned with. My great Omni Kings, you will not be disappointed with his performance."

"Ooooohhh." the two little blue Deities sit there in curiosity.

"I assume that's not why you brought us here." Martinu observed her father as she spoke, noticing his interest was piqued.

"What can you tell me about his partner, Abi?" The Grand Minister questioned. If he was honest, the Deity was still shaken by the situation. "I never noticed her until she appeared. It's not every day that I'm taken off guard by someone."

"She's an interesting one.." Martinu said, her smile faltering slightly. "She does seem to appear out of nowhere. The two of them seem rather codependent, but otherwise there's nothing noteworthy to say about their relationship. The girl doesn't train with Sinthe, but she's always around the Palace helping us out, or watching her partner."

"Interesting…Does she catch you off guard as well?"

"Sometimes!" The Attendant laughed. "It's kind of refreshing!"

"It should be alarming Martinu…" The Grand Minister sighed. "You didn't think it was strange she was catching you, an angel who uses Autonomous Ultra Instinct, off guard?"

"At first I did." The angel admitted. "However, she was so nice, and never seemed to pose a threat. At some point I stopped questioning it. Is something the matter, father?" the Attendant noticed the confused and frustrated look on his face.

"I think I need to do my own investigation into these two myself. The way he speaks to Deities is a little strange. However, I know someone else that's the same way." The Grand Minister said with a smile. "It was a pleasure seeing you again, Martinu. I don't want you to worry about anything."


"Looks like it's just you and me, little man." Goku looked at his youngest son, who was laying on his blanket in the middle of the living room. The warrior sat on the couch, looking at the baby Saiyan in front of him. "Momma's gone to train with uncle Vegeta, Gohan is training with Piccolo, and I'm here spending time with you."

"Adadada." Tarro's voice was soft as he began holding his own feet, rolling from side to side on the blanket. The little Saiyan's tail was keeping him from going too far.

"Yeah, just you and Daddy." Goku's face lit up at his youngest son's babble. He wasn't sure if Tarro actually said dad, but it sounded close enough that the Saiyan's heart melted. "To be honest, I'm not too sure what a little baby like you does. Your older brother's were raised by their mother… And Piccolo" The warrior rubbed the back of his head with a nervous chuckle.

The warrior began his own introspection. While he kind of remembered Gohan growing up, that was nearly thirty years ago now. Even then, at four years old Goku passed away and wasn't the best role model for his oldest. The Saiyan was glad that even though Gohan knew how to fight, he was still very book smart. He had a great paying job, along with a loving wife and daughter. In Goku's eyes, his oldest son was the person he was striving to be for his youngest.

I want to be there for you every step of the way, Tarro. The father thought to himself. Gohan began training again to protect his family. If he can train and be there for Pan, I can do the same for my little one.

Once he was on his left, Tarro saw how bright it was outside. The baby Saiyan began reaching for the sunlight, wanting to be out in the warm rays once again. He loved days when his mother and father would train outside, allowing him to watch.

The little warrior yearned for the day he could begin sparring with someone. Tarro began to wonder how strong Pan was, and if she started her own training.

"You wanna go outside and play?" Goku scooped the little Saiyan into his arms. Seeing the excited look on Tarro's face brought a smile to the warrior's face. "We're gonna do something special, just don't tell your mom, ok?"

"Dadada!" The baby Saiyan cooed happily.

The duo walked out the door and went into the forest past the clearing. As the two continued to walk, Goku watched his youngest son observing the scene around them. Little Tarro was reaching towards the trees, wishing he was flying. He knew it was the fastest way to get around. Wriggling out of his father's arms, the baby Saiyan began flying around Goku.

The warrior was at a complete loss for words. Hearing about his youngest flying and seeing it first hand were two different things. Until the Saiyan was twelve, he relied on his tail to get around. With the introduction of the flying nimbus from Master Roshi, it became much easier to get around. It wasn't until after the Second World Tournament, that Kami taught Goku to fly using his own power.

Each of his sons learned to fly at a younger age than him, but seeing Tarro buzzing around before he's been born a full year came as a surprise. The warrior watched the baby Saiyan fly into the forest. His pace was fast enough that Goku had to almost jog to keep up with him. If the Saiyan didn't know any better, Tarro knew exactly where he was trying to go.

"Where are we goin', little man?" Goku questioned as he noticed his son getting ahead of him. The warrior began flying himself, catching up with Tarro quickly. The Saiyan never remembered bringing his son this far out into the forest behind their home.

Instead of answering him, the baby Saiyan sped at a faster pace, deeper into the forest. Goku's brow raised, unsure of where he was going. As the trees began to thin, the warrior couldn't believe his own eyes. Goku only came to this spot with Ellery. Of course she was pregnant with their son at the time, but they've never brought him here after he was born. Both parents wanted to wait until he was a little older to bring him swimming/fishing.

"Look at how beautiful this is!" Ellery observed with a bright smile. Goku was flying alongside her and Nimbus who was carrying her. Since the Saiyan woman was five months along, it made it a lot easier to get around via the golden cloud. The couple finally came to a hidden pond with a waterfall attached at the left side. You could hear the different forms of wildlife around them, not a sound from the city could be heard.

"I found this while I was building the house. Didn't know it was here until I started!" Goku smiled happily as he picked up his partner from Nimbus. "There's some fish here if we ever want to get some fresh, and when the baby's older we can bring them here to swim. It'd be a great way to bond together."

"I love the idea." Ellery beamed as she took off the tank top she was wearing to reveal a bathing suit. Her eyes widened as she watched her partner get into his birthday suit. "Uh, Kakarot, where's your bathing suit?"

"Why do I need one? I was made with one!" The Saiyan laughed as he jumped into the pond.

It seems that today is the day.

From the moment Tarro saw the large pond through the clearing. His eyes brightened as he flew quickly towards the body of water. It reminded the baby Saiyan of a gigantic bathtub.

"Wawawawa!"

Tarro dove into the cold pond, making sure to blow air out of his nose as he buzzed through the water.

"TARRO!" Goku screamed anxiously. The Saiyan's heart nearly exploded as he watched his youngest son dive into the water. Not even bothering to remove his clothes, Goku went in. He searched around the icy depths, but was unable to see Tarro.

Coming up for air, the warrior searched the area.

"Dada?"

Hearing Tarro's voice, Goku looked up instantly to see a soaking wet baby Saiyan. A bright smile on his face. He was unable to believe what just happened. The warrior was so afraid that something was going to happen to him, it never occured to Goku that his son was as much a Saiyan as he was. They were bred to conquer planets at very young ages. It made sense to the warrior once he thought of it that way.

"I have a lot to learn when it comes to raising a full-blooded Saiyan." Goku mentioned with a smile as Tarro flew into his arms.
