After smashing through Nero's barrier and blasting him with multiple eye beams, the numerous limbs and eyes of the abomination began to seize up before retracting back into the body. The energy stored up for the assault had been depleted, and Marimba morphed back into his original form. The Namekian opened his eyes, which gleamed with intelligence once again. His body had regenerated during the reversion and was drenched in sweat and slime, but he still had not fully recovered. Twinges of residual negative energy still zapped around the exterior body, creating a painful backlash for the Mazoku. His breathing was panicked and harsh, as if he had awakened from a nightmare.
Without warning, a white aura formed across Nero's hands as he lunged forward with incredible speed. Marimba tried to move to guard against it but could no longer keep up in his current state. The two-handed jab struck directly into the Mazoku's center of mass, causing him to reel in sharp pain, his bulging eyes looking almost as if they were about to pop out of his head. Looking down, the Namekian saw that the Saiyan's arms had morphed into large ethereal beast-like forms that had bitten deep into his gut, dealing internal damage.
At first, Marimba retches, spitting up a great deal of blood. Afterward, he tries to launch a counterattack, swinging his fists at the Guru. However, despite his best effort, his strikes were noticeably labored, slower, and less ferocious than before. As he attacked, Marimba would speak, addressing Nero's words regarding his Chaos Trigger.
"That's the only way it works. Otherwise, I couldn't handle that many new mutations at once. The amount of pain by itself would be a problem, let alone trying to process that many simultaneous strikes. Sometimes you have to recognize your limits. To know when your best isn't good enough."
"That wasn't the full potential of that technique. I could have given it more, pushed it farther, maybe even twice as hard, but it would have killed me if I had tried. I devised it in mind as a last resort. To claim vengeance on anyone who dared to push me too far. In such a scenario, heart doesn't matter, only power!"
“I see what was meant now, by an ultimate winning attack.”
“I felt that one, the strength in it at least, but it was missing something important.”
“It was missing control, missing its heart. It was missing you, Marimba.”
