Of course, this attack wouldn't be enough to vaporize her, and he could... probably do something to save her if things went wrong.
Maybe.
However, it turned out that those fears were unfounded. Over the glare of the Kamehameha, he saw Rutaba's expression go blank for a moment, and, more importantly... sense her ki begin to stir--and rise. Just before the blast hit, her ki spiked, as did her hair, and immediately she redirected the attack's course up and away. A poor, innocent tree exploded some distance away.
Heh, she did it. And she did it before the attack even reached her. She really had been just on the cusp of it, hadn't she? Not bad, Rutaba... not bad at all.
Totoma descended, grinning like a madman, and landed in front of her. "Heh, you did good. How's it feel?"
Physically, he knew the answer--broiling emotions, raging, seemingly endless power bursting from within, and... just a feeling of stress. Honestly, at first, being a Super Saiyan wasn't really that pleasant. They'd work on that the next few months, with the 'stay as a super saiyan all the time' method.
What he actually meant was mentally, of course. He could imagine that, like every saiyan, she'd always dreamed and fantasized about becoming a Super Saiyan--even more-so after it was revealed to be more than a legend--but had probably never seriously thought she'd ever achieve it. There seemed to be a strain of thought among most saiyans that the known Super Saiyans were... special, in some way.
Talent varied, yeah, and all of the saiyans, pure and hybrid, he was close to were incredible in that respect, but even the most humble, he believed, could become a legend with enough focus, hard work, and the... spark to actually force the transformation. And Rutaba was anything but 'humble' in terms of talent.
...
Hm, actually, all this had given him an idea of how to use that "forbidden technique" in a more beneficial way. hehe.
