The light temporarily blinded Goten, causing him not to move out of the way, and therefore it was a direct hit. Melody stumbled backwards. Vegeta noticed that whatever damage Goku's brat endures, she endured too. The Kamehameha slammed into Goten—blasting him backward in a shower of dark energy and dust. At the same time, Melody collapsed to her knees, clutching her chest as if she'd been hit too.
Vegeta: *Vegeta's eyes widened.* What the hell…?! Kakarot, their each other's weaknesses, *Vegeta hollowed.*
Goku: *Goku's eyes widened in realization—their bond wasn't just emotional. It was physical. What hurts one, hurts the other.* Then we gotta—finish this fast! *He shouted, already rushing toward Goten again.*
Somewhere along the line both Goku and Vegeta had forgotten that it's all just a spar. The fight had escalated—no more holding back, no more pretending this was just training. Goten and Melody weren't kids anymore—they were fighters, and the Saiyan blood in them roared for victory. Goku lunged with a flying knee toward Goten's jaw—Vegeta mirroring him, aiming a crushing fist at Melody's gut. Goten and Melody didn't block—they absorbed the hits, their bodies tensing but not buckling. The connection between them flared like a live wire.
Melody: *Melody's eyes locked onto Vegeta—her voice eerily calm despite the violence:* You… hit like an old man.
Vegeta: *Vegeta's eye twitched. Nobody—nobody—called him old and lived to tell about it.* I'LL SHOW YOU OLD! *He roared, his Ego form flaring violently as he slammed a brutal elbow into her ribs.*
A soft teasing smile dances across her lips. The pain that she's enduring, seems to fire Goten up. The quicker he could defeat his father, the quicker he can come to her aid. A kinda of amber burned within Goten's eyes, a life fire that caught Goku completely off guard. Goten's movements became feral—no more calculated strikes, just raw, burning determination. He launched a flurry of punches at Goku's face and chest. Across the field, Melody took Vegeta's hit with a grunt—but her smirk stayed. The pain? Just fuel.
Vegeta: Stop smiling and fight back you coward! *Vegeta spat like a poisonous snake.*
Melody: *Melody's smirk vanished—replaced by something cold.* Fine. *She ducked his next strike, then driven her knee up into his stomach hard enough to make him gag.*
