*As you can see, I changed my name like I said I would in the intro to the last chapter. I hope this will bring more readers to my story. I've gotten nothing but great reviews so far, so if you like my story enough to review it, then please recommend it to any friends or people on IM's or in chat rooms whom you think may be interested! If it's worth advertising, sell it! I don't like to do it, because I think spreading the word myself cheapens the whole experience. So far, you have all enjoyed reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. Thank you. Without your positive input, I might not have continued putting it in the computer and out on the net. This is the next sub-saga in the series. As you can see, Kelaru goes Super Saiyan. But Goku said that becoming a Super Saiyan comes from a need, not a desire, didn't he? What could ever happen to make Kelaru feel the need of going SSJ? Read on to find out...* ~Kelaru01
Two weeks have passed since that first week, and Gohan and I finally got our whole stories out to eachother. I also learned some new Z Fighter techniques. I still never told him where I was really from, but I'm not sure... He hasn't been in his room when I went to bed after training, and I can't find him until I wake up. When I ask him what he is doing, he won't tell me... It's really strange. I don't know, maybe it's some sort of new training exercise I don't know about yet.
I never wear my necklace to bed, just because I like to hang it from my ceiling wherever I am, just like a fake planet Vegeta in a fake space. My necklace has always reminded me of my roots as a Saiyan, even though I had never actually seen my home planet. In my capsule on my way to Earth, I hung it in front of me so it always looked like I was approaching planet Vegeta, even though I would always never get there. I was chasing a ghost planet. Even though my necklace was an inanimate object, it meant a lot to me. It kept my faith alive.
This morning when I woke up, it wasn't there. I panicked. I searched feverishly along my floor and in my bed with no result. I quickly rushed to the dining area where Gohan was sitting with his back to me. "Looking for this?" he said, holding the necklace over his shoulder. "Yes, why'd you take it?" I asked sharply as I went to swipe it from his hand. He pulled his hand away with the necklace still in it. "I just wanted to look at it for a while, that's all. I find it amazing that you even have it, seeing as how you parents were asked to leave the planet. I feel strangely drawn to this necklace..." "Could you just give it back? It helps me focus while I train. I need it." "You don't need it, you just desire it's return." "It's my faith, please..." "You don't need it, and I'll prove it!" He threw it into the void, very high.
I saw the golden explosion around me as I powered up. My intense rage had now subsided to a pure confidence in my ability to beat Gohan and my intense hunger to fight. Gohan grinned in satisfaction as my hair turned golden and my eyes turned solid green. "That's the way; show me who you really are" Gohan thought. He held the suspicion that Kelaru was a Saiyan for days now. Never had he thought that Kelaru could be this powerful on his first powerup into Super Saiyan, though. "He's almost approaching my level, I'll hafta watch myself."
The fact that I finally reached Super Saiyan made no difference to me. I just wanted to hurt Gohan for destroying my necklace. How could he? We were friends! Or so I thought... I just wanted to take him down.
