Lord Beerus: Chop-chop you little rats, what's it going to be? *Lord Beerus asked as he watched the ground dissolved into nothingness.*
Goten and Melody exchanged a glance—a silent kinda communication passing between them. The Ozark's instincts warred with something deeper… something more human. After a tense pause, Goten slowly lowered his fists. Melody followed suit, her shoulders relaxing slightly.
Whis: My-my, Lord Beerus, aren't you being too harsh on the kids? *Whis's question sounds more like a rhetorical statement.*
Lord Beerus: *Beerus huffed, lowering his finger—the Hakai energy dissipating.* Tch. They're lucky Whis is here. *He shot Goten and Melody a final glare before turning to the Saiyans.* Fix this. Now!
Both Goku and Vegeta are speechless, never had they seen Lord Beerus stepping down or taking it easy on anyone before now.
Vegeta: Ye- yes, Lord Beerus, considered it done, *Vegeta tested the water.*
Lord Beerus: *Beerus waved a dismissive paw before turning to Whis.* Let's go. I need food after all that nonsense.
And just like that, the two gods vanished—leaving behind a stunned silence. Goku exhaled shakily, then turned to his son and Melody with heavy concern.
Goku: How do we fix that? *Goku asked bluntly as he pointed down at the black hole.*
Vegeta: *He rubbed his chin, glaring at the void.* Whis would've fixed it if it was serious. This? Let's just take it as a warning. *He turned towards Goten and Melody—their expressions no longer cold, but… confused. Lost even.*
Goku: I hope that you two rascals had your fun? Because this ends here. *Goku said, a serious and determined look painted upon his face.*
Goten and Melody didn't argue—their usual defiance absent. Instead, they just… stood there, looking smaller than ever.
Melody: *She was the first to speak, her voice almost quiet:* We… I... don't remember everything.
The two Saiyans shared a knowing look.
Goku: So, what now Vegeta? Do we allow them to be happy or should we be cautious, that them being together could potentially end the world?
Vegeta: *He crossed his arms, scowling.* Tch. They're kids, Kakarot. Not world-ending terarists.
Goku: *He nodded in agreement.* We give them a chance. But… we watch them. Closely.
Vegeta nodded in agreement.
Goku: *He walked over towards Goten, placing a firm hand on his son's shoulder.* We're gonna figure this out. Together.
Vegeta: *He approached Melody, studying her for a moment—then gave a single, stiff nod.* You too. No more… Ozark mode. Okay?"
G&M: Yes Vegeta, *Both said in unison.*
Vegeta: *He smirked—finally, a response that didn't sound like a villainous echo.* Good. Now go hug your damn mothers before they cry themselves to death.
Chichi and Snow, who had been watching silently this whole time, immediately burst out into tears, again.
