Melody: *She walked over towards Goten, who’s lying on the ground, still conscious after taking a direct hit.
She offered him a hand.* Let me help you up.
Seeing that he’s not about to accept her hand, she kneeled down beside Son Goten, a strange energy crackled between them.
Melody: *She placed her right hand over his chest, a soft glow emanating from her palm.* This might feel a bit…
unusual.
Goten: *He winces as the healing energy flows through him, his tail twitching involuntarily.* Whoa…
what’s happening?
A wave of static electricity surges through both of them, causing them to shudder.
Melody: *She almost lost her grip on Goten, eyes widening in shock.* I…
I’ve never felt anything like this before.
Trunks: *He rushed over, adjusting his headband as he ran.* Goten!
You okay buddy?
Goten: *He attempts to stand, wobbling slightly.* Yeah, I think so.
Just feeling a little bit…
tingly.
Trunks: *He grabbed Goten by the other arm, helping Melody steady him.* Come on, let’s get you to the infirmary.
You took quite a beating out there.
Melody: *She completely avoided eye contact with Goten as they walked.* I hope I didn’t hurt you too badly.
That last attack was…
intense.
Goten: *His tail swishes playfully despite his exhausion.* Nah, I’ve had worst.
Dad’s training sessions are way more brutal.
As they made their way to the infirmary, Goku and Vegeta watched from the stands, their expressions a mixture of concern and curiosity.
Goku: Hey, Vegeta, did you see that weird energy just now?
It reminded me of…
something.
*He screeched the back of his head as to recall the memory in more detail.*
Vegeta: I saw it, Kakarot, I’m not blind.
*He crossed his arms, eyes narrowing.* And I don’t like it one bit.
That girl…
there’s more to her than meets the eye.
Goku: *He grins, his Saiyan blood stirring.* I know!
But isn’t it great?
A new mystery to solve!
Vegeta: *He rolls his eyes at Goku’s childish enthusiasm.* Only you would find potential danger ‘great’, you oversized child.
Meanwhile, in the infirmary, Melody helped Goten onto the bed as Trunks left to grab his friend a bottle of water.
Melody: How are you feeling now?
*She hovers near Goten, her hands fidgeting.* That energy, I don’t know what that was…
it was unexpected.
Goten: *He looks at his hands, flexing his fingers.* Better, I think.
But yeah, that was weird.
It_ it almost felt like…
like I knew you somehow.
Melody: *She takes a step back, her eyes darting around the room.* I…
I should go.
Congratulations on your performance, Goten.
Trunks: *He returns with the water, watching how she left in a hurry.* What’s her deal?
It looks like you’d seen a ghost.
Goten: I don’t know, but I’m going to find out.
*He wraps his tail around his waist as he sits up straighter.* There’s something about her, Trunks.
Something…
familiar.
Trunks: *He hands him the water.* Well, well.
Looks like someone’s got a crush on the mysterious new girl.
Goten: *Goten nearly chokes on his swallow of water.* What?
No!
It’s not like that!
I just want to know who she really is.
