Goku looks at his son in surprise, having clear trouble keeping up with him. Goten's strikes were brutal—no wasted movement, every hit precise and devastating. Goku blocked as fast as he could, but the force still sent him skidding back.
Vegeta: *He pushed himself up from the crater, watching with narrowed eyes.* Kid's got Kakarot's grit… mixed with something darker. *Vegeta though it as he briefly looked at Goku sparring with Goten.*
Melody: Hey, old man, your fight is with me. *Melody reminded her own sparring buddy about her existence.*
Vegeta: *Vegeta's grin turned feral.* Right. You're mine.
He lunged—Ego-enhanced speed tearing through the air as he aimed a devastating axe kick at Melody's shoulder. This time around, however, she didn't just deflect his attack, she caught his foot. Vegeta's eyes widened—no one just caught his attacks like that, like it was nothing. Melody didn't smirk. Didn't taunt. She just yanked him off-balance, twisting his ankle with brutal efficiency before slamming her other fist toward his ribs. This time it was Vegeta's turn to spit bloody saliva towards the ground. Vegeta staggered back, clutching his side—but the fire in his eyes burned even hotter then before.
Vegeta: Hah! Now we're talking! *He wiped his mouth, then charged again—this time feinting high before sweeping her legs with a crushing kick.*
Little did Vegeta know that his own hit, upped her own game. Melody let his kick connect—using the force to flip backward, landing in a crouch before launching herself at him with twice the speed. Her fist came down like a meteor—Vegeta barely raised his arms in time to block, but the impact shook him to his bones. As Melody upped her own game, Goten's upped his too, almost like their sharing a single gene. Goten's punches became brutal—each one landing with crushing weight, his movements eerily synced to Melody's as if they were linked by some invisible thread. Goku gritted his teeth, finally going on the offensive—Ultra Instinct flaring as he countered with a blazing elbow strike. Goku is giving his all, tooth and nail, against his own flesh and blood, he never expected this. A thrust hit, and caused Goten to skid backwards. He put his hands together for Melody's famous move that's now theirs, The Zanzabee. But instead of the ordinary blue, red and yellow spiral of light that Goku had seen at the tournament, this version is in shades of purple, gray and black.
