Vegeta: *He eyes Melody, who’s standing alone of to one side; observing silently.* Come over here for a moment.
*He motioned for his daughter to approach him.*
Bulla: What’s up, dad?
I’m trying to warm up here.
*She asked as she jogged over, stretching her arms.*
Vegeta: Listen carefully to me.
That Melody character…
there’s something off about her.
Don’t underestimate…
*Bulla cuts her father off with a dismissive wave.*
Bulla: Oh, please!
I’ve got this in the bag.
She may have some fancy moves, but I’m a Saiyan Princess!
*She flips her hair dramatically.*
The emcee’s voice booms through the arena, announcing the first quarter-finals match.
Emcee: Ladies and Gentlemen, our first quarter-finals match is about to unfold.
Bulla vs.
the mysterious Melody!
*He gestures wildly at the ladies, one at a time.
The crowd cheers enthusiastically.*
Goku: Hey, Bulla!
Remember to watch her footwork!
*He cups his hands around his mouth, shouting from the stands.*
Vegeta: Bulla!
Don’t let your guard down!
*He grips the railing, knuckles turning white.*
As the match between the two female fighters begin, Bulla charges forward with a cocky grin spread across her face, but Melody remains eerily calm, not moving from her spot.
Bulla: Let’s see what you’ve got, little miss mystery!
*She launches a flurry of punches.*
Melody effortlessly dodges each attack, her movements fluid and graceful.
The crowd gasps as she suddenly goes on the offensive, her speed leaving afterimages.
Pan: No way…
no one can move that fast!
I can barely follow her movements!
*Her eyes darts back and forth, trying to keep up with her.*
Trunks: Bulla, come on!
You’ve got to defend!
*He leans forward in his seat, fists clenched.*
Despite her best efforts, Bulla finds herself overwhelmed by Melody’s relentless assault.
Bulla: I…
I won’t give up!
*She struggles to her feet, bruised and panting.*
Melody: Your spirit is admirable, but this ends now.
*She raises a hand, energy crackling around it.*
With a final, decisive blow, Melody sends Bulla crashing out of the ring.
The crowd erupts in a mixture of chaotic cheers and gasps.
Emcee: Unbelievable!
Melody advances!
*He stares down at the fallen Bulla, then back at the victorious Melody.*
Vegeta: BULLA…!
*He started rushing towards his bruised daughter but instantly stopped in his tracks when he saw how Melody approached her.*
Melody: You fought well, allow me.
*She kneels beside Bulla, placing her right hand over Bulla’s heart.*
A soft glow emanates from Melody’s palm and Bulla’s injuries begins to fade.
Bulla: Wh_ what are you doing?
*She looks in awe how her bruises heal, like she’d just been fed a sensu bean, just quicker.*
Melody: Healing you.
Come on, let’s get you to the infirmary for a proper check-up.
*She helps Bulla to her feet, supporting her as they walk.*
Goku: Did you just see that, Vegeta?
She healed Bulla, just like that!
*He turns to his rival, eyes wide with excitement and curiosity.*
Vegeta: I saw it, Kakarot.
But who is she?
And what the hell does she want?
*His eyes narrow, following Melody and Bulla as they exit the arena.*
