Chapter 11 - Ep. 10 - Melody's epic flare

Melody glances back at the stands, a small smile play upon her lips.

Goku: I don't know, Vegeta, but we're about to find out! Look, Goten's up next! *He points eagerly towards the arena.*

The crowd roars as Goten faces off against Trunks in an unexpected turn of events. Max withdrew. The Quarter-Finals breezed on and now Goten and Trunks faces each other in the Semi-Finals match. The winner will face Melody in the Finals.

Trunks: Ready to lose, Buddy? *He smirks, adjusting his headband.*

Goten: In your dreams, Trunks! *He clenched his fists, tail swishing steadily behind him.*

The match began, and to everyone's surprise, Goten held his own against Trunks.

Vegeta: What? How is Kakarot's brat keeping up with my son? *He leans annoyingly closer, grubbing the railing tightly.*

Goku: Atta boy, Goten! Show 'em what you've got! *He pumps his fist in the air.*

Goten narrowly defeats Trunks.

Goku: Unbelievable! Goten's actually in the Finals. *He scratches the back of his head, looking at Vegeta. It's clear on his face that he wasn't expecting this outcome.*

Vegeta: Hmph. A fluke, nothing more. *He crossed his arms, scowling

After about half an hour, the Final match began: Goten (Son of previous World Champion, Goku) vs. the Mysterious white-headed beauty, Melody.

Melody: Your luck ends here, Goten. *She takes a defensive stance that clearly says: Game on.*

Goten: We'll just have to see about that, now, won't we? *He charged forward, happy for the quick recovery that the Sensu Bean assured him.*

The battle rages on, both fighters equally bruised and exhausted.

Melody: Time to end this. Solar Flare...!!! *She raised her hands to the sides of her face and called the attack out at the top of her lungs.*

Piccolo: What? That's_ *He shield his eyes a moment too late, falling among the others as temporarily blinded.*

Krillin: No way! How does she even know that technique? *He blinked rapidly, trying to clear his vision.*

Melody:*She launches into the air, giving off the illusion of flying.* ZANZABEE.....!!! *Spirals of blue and red energy formed around her frame.*

The energy blast rains down on the temporarily blinded Goten.

Goku: Goten! No! *He started rushing forward but stopped at the edge of the stands.*

Vegeta: Impossible! Where did she learn these techniques? *His aura flared up, causing nearby spectators to back away.*

Emcee: Unbelievable! Melody wins the 30th World Martial Arts Tournament! *He gestures wildly at Melody who landed gracefully in the ring.*

Melody: Thank you all for a wonderful tournament. *She smiles enigmatically at the crowd, her gaze lingering for a moment longer on Goku and Vegeta.*
