Dragon Ball Harmony Part 1: Response to a Need

"Come on, Gohan!" shouted Piccolo, "I wanna see your power!" Gohan was very tired, the thought of his mother was slowing him down, "I'm sorry Mr. Piccolo." said Gohan, his eyes moving downward towards the ground.  "Gohan," said Piccolo, "transform into the ascended Super Saiyan!" Gohan's eyes widened, "And I want you to fire the most powerful Kamehameha you've got!!"

"But, Piccolo," said Gohan, "I can only tap into my power through my emotions, I need to get mad, or sad, or SOMETHING!!"

"Gohan," shouted the Namekian warrior, "get mad, NOW!!" Gohan began to imagine his mother being killed by his old enemy, Cell. Nothing happened, just his hair turned gold then, nothing.  "GOHAN, ASCEND!!" Gohan tried again, nothing. "GOHAN, REMEMBER YOUR FATHER'S WORDS!!" Suddenly, Gohan began to remember, he remembered his father's voice, "The power comes in response to a need, not a desire."

He began to mumble to himself, "The power comes in response to a need, not a desire!" he said it again and again, and again, and again.  He began to see flashes of old enemies, Cell, Raditz, Nappa, Garlic Junior, and Frieza.  Gohan snapped, his eyes filled with fury, his heart began pounding in his chest, and he started to scream.  His muscles grew, his hair shot up into long golden spikes.  Suddenly, Gohan was enveloped in a bright light, lightning came down and struck it 23 times.  Finally, it burst open in a blinding flash of light, Piccolo shielded his eyes from the light.

The light had faded slightly, Piccolo removed his hands from his eyes. Standing where the golden light was just moments before, an eleven year old boy, with spiky golden hair and a small muscle bound body, surrounded by a gold, flame-like aura surging with electricity arching through it, his eyes turned from black to green.  "Alright, Piccolo," said the ascended Super Saiyan, "you want me to fire the most powerful Kamehameha I've got, right?" Piccolo simply nodded.  "Okay." Gohan put his hands together in the position to fire a Kamehameha, "KA.....ME......" a sphere of blue light appeared in his hands, "HA.......ME........." Gohan began to tense up, his heart started pumping more adrenaline through his veins, then he pushed his hands forward and screamed, "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
