Chapter 8 - Ep. 7 - Melody floors opponent

Goku: That's the spirit, Pan. Now, let's all head to the arena and watch the first match of the day. *He leads the group towards the fighting stage.*

As they approach, a hush falls over the crowd. All eyes are fixed on the ring.

Trunks: Wait, isn't that, that mysterious girl? Melody, right? *He points to a figure with striking platinum white hair and deep ocean blue eyes.*

Vegeta: Hmph. Let's see what she's capable of. *He crossed his arms, eyeing the young lady critically.*

The announcer's voice booms across the arena, declaring the start of a match.

Bulla: Pfft... I bet she's all looks and no skill. Watch and learn, boys! *She flips her hair, smirking confidently.*

In a blink, Melody moves. Her opponent barely had time to react.

Goku: Did... did you see that? *His eyes widen, struggling to follow Melody's movements.*

Vegeta: Impossible! How did she- *He uncrossed his arms, leaning forward intently.*

Before anyone can process what even happened, Melody's opponent lies unconscious outside the ring.

Trunks: Holy... she didn't even break a sweat! *He runs a hand through his hair, bewildered.*

Marron: Guys, I've got a bad feeling about this... *She bites down on her lip, glancing nervously at her group of friends.*

Pan: Yeah, she's... she's not normal. Even for us. *She clenches her fists, a bead of sweat forming on her forehead.*

Bulla: Oh, please! It was probably just a fluke. I could take her any day. *She waves her hands dismissively, rolling her eyes.*

Majuub: No, Bulla. There's something... different about her. We shouldn't underestimate her abilities. *He narrows his eyes, studying the young lady intently.*

Goku: Majuub's right... I haven't felt an energy like this since... well, I can't even remember. *He scratched his head, feeling perplexed.*

Vegeta: Kakarot, are you thinking what I'm thinking? *He exchanges a meaningful look with Goku.*

Goku: Yeah, this tournament just got a whole lot more interesting. *He clenches his fists, a mix of excitement and concern within his dark orbs.*

As Melody exits the ring, her piercing blue eyes scanned the group of friends. For a moment, time seems to stand still.

Melody: I hope you're all ready, because I'm just getting started. *She whispers as she walks past them, leaving an air of mystery and challenge in her wake.*

Pan: Um... guys, I think we might be in trouble. *She gulps, watching her disappear into the crowd.*
