Ki blasts being fired left and right as Goku, still in Super Saiyan 3 form, and Cooler continue to exchange blows in the air. It's hard to tell who really has the upper hand as they each send each other flying. Goku sends a volley of ki blasts towards Cooler before immediately transforming into a super saiyan god and his overall body structure appears to become younger and thinner in frame and build. Goku's aura a raging fire as he charges right at Cooler. The two fight once more, dragging each other straight to the forests away from the city. Cooler slams Goku to the ground before they both fall into a crater where the two exchange blows. Goku is more agile in his God form, but it appears Cooler is able to keep up with it and lands a hard blow to Goku's back. Goku hits hard onto the ground as Cooler gives Goku some space to get up.
"That wasn't that bad of a hit there" Goku says, "you really are something."
Cooler is surprised to receive a compliment from his enemy and waits for him to stand up.
"For a monkey, I can say the same," he responds, "you're not at your best yet, so this is not nearly over."
"You got that right."
Goku gets into fighting stance and charges at Cooler whose ready.
Meanwhile, Vegeta and Tarble are in the midst of a heated battle against one another as one soon overtakes the other. Tarble is throwing punches at all angles and Vegeta is trying his best to keep up. Tarble lands a kick, sending Vegeta flying, and immediately follows up. Vegeta recovers, unfazed, but is too late to notice his brother right behind him.
"Damn it, he's fast" Vegeta says to himself.
Tarble lands another blow and Vegeta starts blocking each attack thrown soon after from learning his brother's pattern.
"I'm surprised he not even tired out," Vegeta says to himself.
Vegeta punches Tarble away and fires a Big Bang Attack directly at him. Tarble instantly grabs it without hesitation and send it right back at Vegeta before channeling his own energy into one hand a fires his own version a large dark blue ball of energy: the Star Cluster. Vegeta did not expect this to happen and smacks away his big bang before firing a Galick Gun to counteract. Tarble fires a galick gun to push his Star Cluster against Vegeta's attack, causing a huge stalemate explosion between them. Tarble lands on the ground in front of Vegeta.
"Ever since I joined the Armored Squadron, Cooler taught me how to control my rage, hone my skills to the highest possible" he says.
"I'm impressed" Vegeta responds, "But it pisses me off to see you've come so far and can't even reach super saiyan level."
Vegeta quickly turns super saiyan 2 to show off to Tarble who doesn't seem to care for his older brother's new appearance and power level increase.
"I don't need that to take you down, Vegeta" Tarble shouts back.
Vegeta strikes out of anger towards him and smacks Tarble around with no restraint. He doesn't let his brother make a get away and keeps the pressure on him. Tarble tries to find a way out and hides within the ruins, but Vegeta is hot on his tail and grips Tarble by the neck. Tarble struggles to break free.
"Listen! I understand you felt abandoned long ago and I'm sorry I was never there for you when that happened" Vegeta says.
Tarble is stunned to hear that come out of Vegeta's mouth, seeing his older brother appear deeply concerned for him. Suddenly, Tarble smirks, having it all be a part of his plan to get in closer to Vegeta who now let down his guard. He tries to land a blow, but Vegeta notices and block it in time, letting go of Tarble who backs away. Tarble appears unharmed and it was all a guise.
"What you say are nothing but hollow words to me" Tarble responds.
Vegeta is stunned to hear that as Tarble wastes no time unleashing a flurry of punches that actually give Vegeta even in his super saiyan 2 form a run for his money. Vegeta tries to keep up, but his mind is in a state of shock from the rejection. Tarble suddenly vanishes and Vegeta looks at his surroundings. He senses a spike of energy nearby and turns around to find a massive swarm of ki blasts zoning in right above him. Tarble reappears behind Vegeta and nails an elbow into his spine before vanishing out of the line of fire as the ki blasts hit Vegeta. Tarble reappears in front of the smoke produced, waiting. Vegeta reappears now in super saiyan god. He smiles at his brother as the two prepare to clash once more.
"Alright Tarble, give me everything you got" Vegeta shouts.

Writer's Fun Fact:
Sorry guys I'm a week late. Hope ya'll had a good thanksgiving and I'm try to have several chapters out within the coming days to make up for not having anything out last week. Well the tension is big between Vegeta and Tarble. Clearly, after everything Tarble has been through he wouldn't just accept Vegeta's apology and it's gonna take more for one brother to win the other over. In this story, Vegeta's arc here is to acknowledge what his heritage has done to his brother compared to what it has done to him. Seeing his own kin hating everything about their race doesn't sit with Vegeta and obviously since it's his brother who has gone through a lot it's about him redeeming what was once lost. Tarble is a lot stronger in this story than what's shown so far and he'll use any dirty tactic like allow himself to get beat up by Vegeta just to get in close before breaking Vegeta's spirit of hoping to sway him. I wonder how the two will reconcile, you'll have to stay tune next time on DBS: Cooler's Wrath.
