[it was amusing the way that Goku and Vegeta's reverence of the Super Saiyan differed. he understood the importance of it, but he didn't ascend to this level out of a need to realize the legend, but because his pure heart was critically wounded by Frieza. the pain and suffering had to stop. there was no other way... since then, this has been his most trusted transformation, but far from the pinnacle of his prowess. this would do just fine for now though. Goku wanted to show this world he wasn't going to take the suffering lying down. this was a test above all else. and when he felt the Anima merge in with his aura, he felt his power level spike. it wasn't too significant considering the fact they were both being hampered, but between the remnants of his godly Ki and her own divine offering, he looked down to one of his hands as lightning trickled along his fingertips. it was so natural to him. so easy]
Thanks, Saori. You're the best. Now...
[if she hadn't done such already, she may have wanted to pull back with him]
KAAA MEEE...
[his arms by his side, the latent power in his body was being focused. his aura was growing wilder and his power level was rising as he briefly chanted. suddenly, it appeared. only this time instead of showing as a simple bluish-white orb of energy, it was complimented by the same blue and white sparks that Saori's Anima provided him with]
HAAA MEEE...!
[now or never. Anima Kamehameha!]
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
[the undying storm, an unrelenting torrent of power, Goku fires the blast directly at the barrier before them. instead of bouncing off or exploding however, the end of the beam flattens against the wall, creating an effect similar to if one was met with a clashing force, as if he was in a clashing beam struggle. it wasn't giving one inch, but Goku continued to put out force as the Kamehameha Wave flowed with lightning around the beam, signs of Saori's strength at work]
AAAAAAAHHHHHH--!!!!
[this continued on for a good minute as Goku pushed and pushed until finally, the attack finally gave way and instead of trying to penetrate, it exploded in front of them. the surrounding area seemed to quiver at the aftershock as smoke filled the immediate area. his vision was lost beneath the smoke for the time being, but he could still sense Saori's energy close to him]
...
[despite the force of the blast, he didn't seem winded at all, only a couple beads of sweat rolling down the Super Saiyan's forehead. it was disappointing, but even he knew that he was weaker now. but still...was it enough? the smoke finally cleared and before them was the barrier, as impervious as ever, but not without effort]
Oh wow. I didn't know if I was gonna do it or not, but I at least expected a crack or something.
[Action]
