Chapter 3
"Kejota's Explanation; the Saiya-jin's Past Revealed"
Before those words reached the creature's ear, Kejota flew forward, unleashing a volley of blows that appeared simply as streams of light to Gokuu and Bejiita. The expressionless stare on the boy's face, amplified by the crimson markings along his lower eyelids, gave way to a look of joy as he felt the beast's strength waning with each strike upon its hide.
"Unbelievable! This Suupaa Saiya-jin 4 seems to be stronger than Gohan!", Pikkoro exclaimed, avoiding a spray of rocks jettisoned from another shockwave.
"DODONPA!!", Tenshinhan screamed, the ki beam lanced from his index finger into the boulder hurtling towards he and Chiaotzu. "I can't believe that we've never sensed this guy before. His ki output is almost inconceivable! Let's just hope that he doesn't decide to come after us next; we'd stand no chance against him!"
Kejota quickly somersaulted away from a half-hearted punch thrown at him, bringing his knee into his adversary's face so violently that the creature nearly doubled over backward as the force of the blow propelled him through a mountain. Lifting his hand skyward, the youthful saiya-jin engulfed himself in a rapidly pulsating golden aura, concentrating the latent ki within the air into the area above his palm until a ruby-colored ki sphere formed.
Moving the volatile energy to where his hand faced the beast, Kejota's arm suddenly began trembling under the incredible duress exerted to keep the orb stable, every muscle quaking with agony as surge after surge of his own ki poured into the every expanding attack.
"Hold witness to my ultimate technique, Gairetsu Taklema-ken!", the saiya-jin screamed, the side of the orb facing the monster instantly formed a fissure, causing all the energy sealed within it to rush outward, absorbing all air molecules within the area to form a sheath of anti- oxygen. Gripped within the holds of the ethereal stream, the creature was able to do little more than stare as the blast spiraled about his body, the outer column about it causing the oxygen within to explode, violently tearing at his insides as he collapsed to the ground. After causing another series of explosions, the Taklema-ken shot skyward before quickly cascading down, striking his form with the violent force of a supernova.
Gokuu, instantly realizing the intensifying dome of flame moving towards them, dashed towards Bejiita and Gohan, grabbing hold of them before turning towards Tenshinhan and the others. "Damn it, I can't get all of you out of here in time with my Shunken Idou!!!", he screamed, turning back as the blast continued to move closer.
"Allow me to assist then!", Kejota exclaimed, sprinting by the fleeing Z Senshi with his left hand extended towards them. Glancing quickly at Gokuu, "You're not the only one who's been to Yadrotto-sei, Kakarotto. With both of us here, we can get them out quickly enough. Hurry, grab hold!"
Kuririn and Yamucha clenched hold of his arm tightly as Chiaotzu threw himself onto Tenshinhan's back, who was already firmly grasping Gokuu's shoulder. Both saiya-jins demolecularized milliseconds before the dome lost all stability, releasing a dreadful detonation that dwarfed Bejiita's Biku Ban Attack by several fold.
Several minutes later,
"So let me get this straight. Your father was General Seloori, second only to my father as a member of the saiya-jin elite?", Bejiita inquired out of bewilderment as he stared at Kejota, the gaze returned with the same fire that burned within him so long ago. The wind instantly picked up as those words left the prince's mouth, sweeping gently across the thick grass, imbued with the richest hues of jade.
"Yes, my father was Seloori, and unfortunately, not even someone as prestigious and revered as he can get our people to believe that anyone, especially Furiiza, could threaten them."
"Your father knew about the attack on Bejiita-sei? Kaiou-sama acted like only my father knew about it, but then again, his information has never been the most accurate!", Gokuu smirked, leaning on a nearby boulder as he watched the boy continue with his story.
Glancing quickly over to Kakarotto, Kejota nodded and replied, "My father learned about the attack prior to Bardock learning of it, and by a far different means. I don't know how your father did learn of it Kakarotto, but my father when finishing up the removal of troops from the most recent of planets that he had conquered, he found a transmitter that Furiiza's lieutenant, Zarbon, had dropped after he had inspected the overly thorough job that my father was famous for. Several months later, a few days prior to the actual destruction of Bejiita-sei, Seloori picked up a transmission meant for Zarbon that stated the time and day that Furiiza planned to launch the attack. Even with the transmitter, my father's words fell on deaf ears as he brought this information to the saiya-jin council, and more importantly, to your father, Bejiita Daiou. Knowing that he couldn't rally support for an army to intercept Furiiza's ship, my father decided to flee Bejiita-sei with my mother, which they did well before the planet was destroyed. They don't know what planet they had landed on, but the gravity was twice that of their home planet, which didn't seem to bother my father as it did my mother for the first months. However, their landing on the planet caused the indigenous species, a race of lizard-like men known as the Hyzalkuda, to constantly attempt to attack them. The Hyzalkuda were absolute monsters, three meters tall at least, each one of them driven by an insatiable craving for death. My father fought valiantly for several years against the demons, his own lust for battle and the benefit of a night sky always dotted by a full moon giving him an advantage as he swept thousands of them out of existence each day. Eventually, he managed to destroy their entire society, gaining a new ability as a result of the decade old conflict. It seems that when the full moon is almost always present at night, the body's desire to go Oozaru lessens, until my father no longer transformed immediately, but summoned the form at will, and likewise grow stronger physically using the Bruit waves he was constantly being bombarded with."
"That would explain your ability to transform into a Suupaa saiya-jin while still retaining your tail. I was under the impression that if one were to try to go Suupaa saiya-jin with their tail, they would transform into a powerful Oozaru like state", Bejiita murmured as he crossed his arms over his chest. "Continue, I want to learn more about this new level of Suupaa saiya-jin you have."
"Well, I'm getting to the part that might shed some light on the matter. It seems that my parents' genetic change was passed down to me when I was conceived, but with an added effect that neither of them would have realized. Somehow, I completely lost the ability to transform into the Oozaru despite having my tail, in the process permanently gaining the strength that the Oozaru form would have allowed me to achieve. I don't know when it happened, sometime around the age of four I think, but something in me snapped, a deepening rage swelled within me, like some form of uncontrollable madness. My father had to transform into his Oozaru state just to hold me down long enough for any form of rational thought to return. He thought I had transformed into the Legendary Suupaa Saiya-jin form, but I found that what I had reached was like a half way point between base form and Suupaa Saiya-jin, what I call Jun Suupaa Saiya-jin."
Stepping forward from his previously motionless, almost statue like, stance, Pikkoro exclaimed, "Then I Bejiita underwent a similar transformation on Nameksei during our battle with Furiiza after Dende healed him. He was absolutely convinced that he was a Suupaa Saiya-jin, as did the rest of us. Hell, even Furiiza was bewildered by the state of power that he was in, but with Gokuu's true transformation happening soon after, we realized he was wrong."
"I remember that, Bejiita grew almost insane when he powered up, and his aura was even a brighter gold than when we watched him transform to defeat Juukyuugou. His strength, speed, even his senses had been amplified considerably when he transformed in front of Furiiza. It does sound similar to this Jun Suupaa Saiya-jin state you transformed into", Gohan said, groaning in pain soon after trying to stumble to his feet, his bruised and battered body straining as he managed to regain his balance.
