After reaching Super Saiyan 3, everything around Ben Tennyson felt different. His power had crossed into a realm that even the Saiyans of Dragon Ball Universe 6 rarely touched. The air itself seemed lighter to him, as if the world could no longer weigh him down.
That night, instead of training, there was something rare on Planet Sadala—celebration.
Caulifla was loud as always, declaring that Ben had officially become a "monster" in terms of strength, while Kale stayed close, quietly happy for him. Cabba simply smiled, proud of how far Ben had come.
But as the night deepened, something shifted.
Caulifla and Kale exchanged a glance.
Without a word, they used the Potara.
In a flash of light, Kefla appeared once again.
This time, there was no battle in her eyes.
Only warmth… and something deeper.
She walked toward Ben slowly, her usual confidence still there, but calmer, more focused. "You really did it," she said, her voice softer than usual. "You went beyond all of us."
Ben smiled slightly. "I had good teachers."
Kefla stopped in front of him, looking directly into his eyes. "No… this is your path."
The moment between them grew quiet, the world around them fading into the background. It wasn't about power anymore, not about fighting or surpassing limits. It was about connection, something that had been building ever since their battles, their clashes, their shared experiences.
That night, they chose to stay together, not as rivals, not as opponents, but as something more. It was a bond formed through strength, trust, and the strange way Saiyans expressed their emotions—intensely, without hesitation.
Ben didn't overthink it this time.
He accepted it.
And Kefla did too.
---
Days passed after that, but something unexpected followed.
Kefla remained.
Longer than usual.
Normally, fusion would not last this long, but something had changed. Their connection had deepened to the point where separating wasn't happening as easily anymore.
And then, the truth became clear.
Kefla was carrying Ben's child.
The realization spread quickly.
Cabba was stunned into silence.
Ben himself needed time to fully process it, though he didn't run from it. Instead, he stood firm, accepting the responsibility without hesitation.
As for Caulifla and Kale…
Their presence within Kefla could still be felt.
And their emotions were… complicated.
There was a hint of anger, a bit of jealousy, but also something they couldn't deny—this bond included them as well. Because Kefla wasn't separate from them.
They were Kefla.
So while they couldn't separate for now, they also couldn't reject what had happened.
Caulifla's voice echoed faintly within, annoyed but restrained. Kale's presence was quieter, uncertain but not rejecting.
Ben stood beside Kefla, looking at her, at them.
"I'll take responsibility," he said calmly.
Kefla smirked slightly, but there was softness behind it. "You better."
And just like that, things on Planet Sadala changed again.
This time, not because of power.
But because of something far more complicated—
A bond that tied strength, love, and responsibility together in a way none of them had expected.
