>>5701567As your granddaughter looks to you, you don't have any words to say. So, instead you simply give her a nod while raising your right hand by your side into a thumbs up. She's had to be careful, with the other kids of the Crimson Demon village as she's strong enough to accidentally break them in two, but with someone like Vegeta's son, she won't have that particular answer. Seeing your nod she smiles, turning back to the young boy and taking his arm in her hand. As the two clasp hands, you can almost feel her surprise as she doesn't break him, and instead he's actually seemingly stronger than her.
“Woah! You're actually strong!” she exclaims innocently, to which the young prince smirks.
“Of course I'm strong. You can't be a ruler if you aren't strong.” he replies, and starts trying to push her arm down as if arm wrestling. Without the table. To which your granddaughter gasps, then you can hear her grit her teeth after wincing.
“I'm strong too! Just watch!” she exclaims, shoving back against him. And to his surprise she's able to push his arm back upright, but then the two children are deadlocked as they push. You can hear both letting out grunts of effort, the young prince's snarl as he grits his teeth reminding you of that one time in your youth when you'd seen the current king's father angry, snarling as he'd destroyed a Tuffle ship that'd fired on his village. “I'm! Not! Gonna! LOSE!!”
And as your granddaughter shouts, her aura suddenly blazes up golden around her, hair spiking as she takes on her transformed state. Then, as Prince Vegeta V's jaw drops in astonishment, she wins the little arm wrestling exchange by flipping the young prince, sending him crashing into the wall between two of the Saibamen he'd dispatched. She stands there proudly, aura blazing golden as the young man lays slumped against the wall dazed, then after a moment shaking his head, using the wall to help him regain his feet. Then, turning to see your daughter still standing there, he smiles.
“Looks like I underestimated you, I hadn't expected you to be a Super Sai...” he starts, then no doubt notices her eyes are still crimson. “Y-Your eyes.”
“Huh?” What's wrong with my eyes?” Meloka Wolbach asks, suddenly very self conscious.
“No-Nothing's wrong. It's just, they look.... Beautiful. I've never seen red eyes before.” the young prince replies, you seeing your daughter's cheeks and ears suddenly turn scarlet as she blushes, unsure how to react. You can't help but smile, seeing how innocent these two children are as they stare at each other and swear once more that you'll do whatever it takes, fight whatever gods or monsters or people you must to keep your people safe and happy, to give all Saiyan children like them the life you couldn't have growing up.
