Goku's swollen body flared with energy as the super kaio-ken pulsed through him. He hadn't been able to push his super saiyan level past 1 since he wasn't healed completely. When he left the Grand Kai, the old man had been near collapse from giving so much energy out to quickly. But he had judged it necessary and had healed Goku to the fullest extent he was able. The saiyan had enough energy to get to Kimahri and fight though, which was what was needed. But once Goku got to the planet he started to see what the Grand Kai had been so urgent about. Diamao was giving his all to defeat the Z Warriors, firing wave after mind blowing wave of energy in all directions. The attacks that Gohan, Goten, Tien and Trunks were firing were barely making a dent in Diamao's ki shield. Goku's super saiyan 1 power seemed roughly equal with Gohan's super saiyan 3 energy. Once Goku used the super kaio-ken his ki skyrocketed and, as usual, his body became tired quickly. He wouldn't have much time to charge his attack before he collapsed. He was already deep into his Chou Kamehameha before he began to raise his power level high enough to do any damage.
"Hame..." he nearly finished. A blue ball quivered in his hands which were cupped behind him, but instead of visible energy snaking towards it, the ball merely grew with it's shuddering mass. His palms became darker as the light was sucked in to feed his attack. His red aura flared again as he prepared to unleash it. Rocks which were already flying wildly in the wind generated by all of the titan's powers rose in a column around Goku as his power soared nearly a quarter as strong as Diamao's. Not enough to even come close to defeating him in a full out fight, but it was enough for his purposes. "Ha!"
The blue ball ripped from his hands and flew for its target: Diamao. It tore up the distance between the two rapidly, disintegrating the pebbles and chunks of rock that floated through the air as it went. Seconds before it's impact Diamao looked up to see it's approach. As soon as it hit he lost control immediately. His ki shield dropped and all of the attacks connected with his body. His kaio-ken dropped a few levels at the vicious assaults.
His antennae were completely burned away along with his half of his jaw. Gohan and Goten's kamehamehas burned into his back. His flesh was burned away at the point of contact, leaving vague imprints of bone and muscle there. Trunk's own sphere of energy contacted with Diamao's legs, vaporizing his feet immediately. He was left with bloody stumps as the energy passed from his body into the sky. Vegeta's own attack was the worst however. The final flash latched onto the namekian and didn't let go. His chest was burned to a crisp and all of his green skin turned black. Some of it scorched the pink of his muscle tissue showing through. Diamao felt his right arm rather painfully burn away. It was broken off piece by piece, fingers to hand to forearm. Diamao had lost all sensation by now, however. The pain had become to intense for him to manage around the time his feet left him.
"Stop!" Goku ordered the second he saw what was happening to Diamao; but more importantly, Piccolo. Gohan, Goten and Trunks stopped their assaults immediately, but Vegeta ignored him. The blue waves emanating from Vegeta didn't stop until Goku zanzokened down to the tip of it and sent his hand smacking straight into it. Despite his weakness, Goku was a great tactician and knew that the farther a ki blast was from the generator the harder it was to control. He slapped it away into the distant sky with only a few burn marks on his hand. The saiyan prince pulled his hands apart quickly, opening his eyes wide in shock of what the other had done.
"Kakkorot! You fool! What do you think is going to happen when he regains his power? I could barely beat him this time," Vegeta raged, floating towards Goku. The other saiyan had to fight back an urge to say some mean and nasty words about how they had helped too.
"Vegeta, calm down. Concentrate on Diamao, can you tell?" Goku asked, pointing at their fallen friend/foe. While Vegeta approached so had the other Z Warriors, and they were all now floating among each other randomly.
"What are you talking about, Kakkorot? It's Diamao!"
"Yeah, dad. What are you talking about? He looks the same to me," Gohan questioned, furrowing his brow and staring at his father. "Are you okay?"
"He's fine, Gohan. I can feel it now too, Goku," Trunks reassured the group confidently, placing a hand on Gohan's shoulder.
"What are you guys talking about? It's Diamao!" Tien asked, his voice rising with his annoyance of the situation.
"Come on, you can't tell? Feel his ki. It's different, not as dark. Feel it. Diamao's gone," Goku said, a smile passing over his face. His eyes lightened and he dropped from super saiyan and kaio-ken, letting his black hair replace the golden one.

"It's over, Diamao. You've lost," Piccolo told his father. "There's now way you can win."
"I know. I know it's over. You've won, Piccolo. Congratulations."
"Yeah. Yeah, if you can call this a win."
"I'm sorry. God I'm sorry for doing all this."
"I know. I know you're sorry. Now, just rest. Just close your mind and rest, you've had a long day."
"You're right. You're right, I have had a long day. Good night, Piccolo."
"Good night Di... Good night... Father."
