"Gao's Dreadful Technique"
When the results of the explosion subsided, the Saiyans and the nearly unconscious Kai gazed upon the rubble piled on top of where the genie was knocked to by the blast! After a few seconds, some small rocks began to fall from the pile as the rubble shifted ever so slightly! A few seconds later, all of the rubble exploded off of the site and was scattered across the battle field as the seemingly unharmed genie flew up from the underside of the rubble, performed numerous mid-air front flips, and landed on his feet to continue the battle with the Saiyans!
"Gao!" the angry genie called out like a special battle cry as the Saiyans looked at the genie's unharmed form in utter disbelief.
"Impossible!" the Saiyan who blasted him muttered, unable to believe his eyes. "There's no way he could survive that! There's just no way!"
"You no know Gao!" the angry genie replied as he aimed both hands at the Saiyan who attacked him. "Gao try now!"
The Saiyan screamed as Gao launched a powerful energy attack at him! The energy blast slammed into the Saiyan and drove him back into a mountainous structure! When the blast slammed the Saiyan back against the landscape, it exploded with even more fury than the attack used against the genie! The other Saiyans gasped in horror as they saw the billowing smoke wafting from the place where their friend was!
When the smoke cleared, there was a pile of rubble on top of the Saiyan's position! Several moments passed, and nothing happened! Finally, a few stones began tumbling off the rubble pile! Several moments later, a few larger rocks tumbled from the pile as an opening formed a-top the rubble pile! The Saiyan weakly dragged himself from the rubble pile, his armor and scouter heavilly damaged and his body brutally battered as a result of the attack! Gao cheered as he celebrated his victory over the Saiyan as the Saiyan collapsed unconscious just out of the rubble pile!
"You drop down! No get up again!" Gao laughed as he clapped his hands in celebration. "You done! Who next?"
The other Saiyans began powering up simultaneously, and they were immediately surrounded with glowing auras as they screamed in their effort to raise themselves to maximum power! Seconds later, small pebbles began to slowly rise from the ground, and the ground began to shake! Moments later, larger pebbles and small rocks began to rise from the ground, and the ground began to shake violently!
"Hmmm," Gao replied as he watched the Saiyans power up with interest. "All five at same time, huh? Okay! We do it!"
Many, many seconds later, whirlwinds of debris form around the battle field! The Saiyans continued to scream as they raised their energy! After about fifteen or twenty more seconds, the sky went black, and lightning flashed in the sky!
"Oh, no! They're going to try to attack Gao all at the same time!" Chen muttered to himself weakly and in apprehension. "This is horrible! They have to stop! They don't know what they're doing! They're going to force him to use his ultimate power!"
After almost half-a-minute, rocks began to explode, and strong winds began blowing out from the Saiyans! Gao stood firm against the blowing winds as his tied-on cape wafted in the winds! Chen closed his eyes tightly, afraid to watch what was about to happen!
"No! No! You have to stop it!" Chen screamed in a feeble attempt to send his voice across the battlefield and out-volume the terrible loudness of the Saiyans' power-ups. "Don't do this!"
When the Saiyans were finished powering up, the special effects of their power-ups subsided, and the Saiyans attacked! They pummeled Gao relentlessly with hand-to-hand attacks, and his rubbery skin absorbed their brutality by 'denting in' once again! After an incredible flurry of hand-to-hand attacks, the Saiyans all simultaneously fired energy blasts into Gao, knocking him across the battlefield with five holes drilled completely through him by the energy blasts! Chen screamed in horror as the Saiyans laughed at their handiwork!
"Well, I guess that's the end of that!" one of the Saiyans chuckled before they all began to laugh hysterically.
Suddenly, Gao kipped up and landed on his feet! His body was still 'dented in' and there were still five holes in his form! The Saiyans were amazed at what they beheld! Chen was horrified! Gao began flexing his rubbery hide outward until all the dents were healed, and all five holes were completely healed as well! This sight astounded everyone but Gao himself!
"Bad people hurt Gao's friend and try to make Gao drop dead!" Gao replied as he looked angry, the veins already beginning to bulge in his head. "Gao no drop dead! Now you see Gao's big power!"
Gao assumed a widened stance as he clenched his oversized fists and crossed his forearms in front of his face, his face contorted in a grim scowl! The Saiyans looked on incredulously as Gao began to glow again, and, seconds later, strong winds began to howl out from Gao as the sky began to darken and an assortment of pebbles, small stones, and rocks began to rise from the ground! Chen was horrified as he saw whirlwinds of debris forming all over the place, and the sky went black as lightning flashed across it!
The bodies of water within a few miles of Gao's location began to be affected as well! First, the waters' waves crashed violently against the land! Then the waters began to part until there were two towering walls of water on either side of a bare patch of water floor in every body of water for miles around! Whirlwinds of debris formed in the bodies of water just outside of that effect for about a mile or so outside the main area of effect! As mountains began to crumble into the water within a few miles of Gao, mountains began crumbling on dry land over the same area of effect! As the ground shook violently for miles around, the ground began to open up in places! Lava burst forth from those open places over the landscape for miles, and it also sprang forth from the bare water floors between the towering walls of water from the parted bodies of water, spraying into the air to form towering walls of boiling lava! Rocks also were exploding for miles around, and the entire planet seemed to be shaking from Gao's power!
"Gao-ken times three!" the fiercely determined genie yelled loudly as his power level began rising enormously.
The bright light of his glow flared out massively, and it could be seen from space! The powerful winds blowing out from Gao intensified greatly as he screamed into the heavens, and the entire planet shuddered under the strain of enduring Gao's swelling power! The Saiyans were scattered like debris in a maelstrom, and Chen too was blown further across the battlefield! A giant crater was formed by Gao's power-up from Gao's position outward! His incredible power was like a tremendous nuclear reactor generating near-limitless potential!
When the special effects of this new power-up, subsided, Gao stood hovering in the air over the massive crater! Immense power radiated from him as he watched the rocks, stones, and pebbles fall back to the ground like rain! The Saiyans managed to get back to their feet, and Chen looked in horror, barely able to keep his head aloft from the punishment he had taken! The Saiyans looked a little roughed up as a result of their ordeal, their armor was heavilly damaged, and their scouters were all smashed!
"Now, Gao make you sorry!" the angry genie scolded the Saiyan warriors as he addressed them from his mid-air perch. "We fight now!"
"No!" Chen muttered feebly as he noted Gao's resoluteness to fight the Saiyans, a trait that was so unnatural for the genie that it was quite frightening for the young Kai to behold. "How horrible! Gao has never been violent before! He has never wanted to fight before! He's opening himself up to his anger! It might swallow him up!
I never realized teaching him the Kaio-ken technique would have such an incredible effect! Anyone else using the technique would suffer physical damage from the increase in power it brought, but his natural regenerative abilities enable him to channel a minute amount of his energy into healing the damage the technique causes, leaving him with an enormous increase in raw power! He's many time stronger than before, with no harmful side effects!"
