(Note: I might be explaining kaioken incorrectly, but that`s how I think it works. Honestly it was never explained in the anime, so my unknowing is justified. I guess?
Also, this takes place after Ikezu vs Antary fight, when Antary was sent back on Earth)
After the defeat at the tournament, Antary dedicated himself to training almost completely. Still not completely healed, through pain he practiced his moves, trained his strength and endurance, did everything that could be possibly done wrong in his condition. His training exercises were different and somewhat random. One moment he could be doing push ups, the other he was throwing rocks and shooting them with ki blasts. In the condition Antary was in, the training gave very little result, but it went on for a few days. Until something more interesting happened.
While the saiyan was doing his training exercises, a quiet, cracky voice suddenly interrupted him.
"What are you doing in such a condition? After the way you got destroyed on that tournament, you should be laying in bed. Yup, you got absolutely dominated in that match... Owned, as the youngsters say."
Antary was interrupted during his ranged attacks practice, and the rock he was holding in his hand crumbled to dust as the young warrior clenched his fist in anger.
"Who the hell do you think you are! Come out, coward, I`ll show you destruction and domination far worse than you saw!"
After a momentary silence, constant coughing could be heard behind a big boulder, but that boulder was not enough to hide a grown man. Could it be a kid that was making fun of him? A very short figure started walking from the boulder. It was a bald old man, with white long hanging moustache and a small beard. The man wore long red robes, too long for someone his size, and sunglasses. Antary was pretty surprised by someone like this making fun of him. "Guess he`s just insane. He certainly looks like it." the saiyan thought.
"Move along, old man or I won`t hesitate to beat you up."
The man smiled, the smile quickly turned into laughing, but all of a sudden he stopped laughing and gave Antary that serious look through his sunglasses.
"A rude young man like you should not talk to elders like this. I`m afraid I have to punish you." Quietly said the old man.
"You? Alright, hah, bring it on, gramps, be careful not to break your fist."
When they were both done talking, the old man started stretching his arms and legs, loud cracking noises could be heard from what seemed like ancient bones. The man grew in size and straightened his body up, the red robes now fitting him perfectly. As if wind blowing from below his robes started moving, looks like he was powering up.
"Kaioken Times Ten!" shouted the man before the ground under him crumbled, large chunks of it floating besides him. The next moment his transparent greenish aura exploded into a dark red color, like the color of blood.
"Kaiowha-" Antary`s confused blather was interrupted with a punch of incredible speed and strength, right to the face, sending him flying through a few trees. The saiyan tried to stop his flight by grabbing onto the ground, but only managed to scratch it. The next moment Antary could see only a distant river below him as he was sent flying off a cliff. Before he even managed to start focusing his energy to sustain himself in the air, that old man appeared in front of him and sent the saiyan downwards with another massive punch to the face. A loud "Goddamniii-" could be heard, which was interrupted by Antary slamming into the river and disappearing with the flow.
When Antary opened his eyes, he was greeted by the bright sun "staring" right at him. After blocking the light with his hand, the saiyan started coughing up water. "What the hell was that all about... Me, an elite class warrior getting beat up by some old man... Ridiculous. This planet is insane. Now... Where the hell am I?" Standing up and looking around, this was nothing like the place Antary was training at. It was a rock wasteland, it looked a lot like the arena where Ikezu and Antary fought. Even though he was just tossed around like a baby by that old man, it felt like nothing happened. His injuries were seemingly gone, including those that he took in the tournament. A sudden familiar cracky voice almost startled the saiyan.
"Finally awake, huh? Well, then, want to become my student?" asked the old man, causing an incredibly surprised reaction from Antary.
"What? Your student? The hell? You just came out of nowhere, insulted me, beat me up and dragged me to the middle of nowhere. Are you insane?!"
"Well, I`d think that my technique would spark some interest in a fighter like you. Guess not. Bye." and he started walking away.
"Wait! What WAS that technique?" This "Kaioken" really did spark interest in the young saiyan.
"Hey, if you agree to be my student, I will answer all your questions."
"Why would you want me to become your student so much?" Asked Antary.
"Well, you see, people never talk to me. The last conversation I had with a human being was... 40 years ago?" After a bit of thinking, answered that old man. "Oh, right, my name is... John. Yes, let`s keep it at that."
"John? That`s a... nevermind. Okay, I don`t see why not to become your... student. For now. But if you try something funny, I won`t hesitate to kill you!"
"Haha, how energetic. Now then, since you are familiar with basic energy control, I`ll skip the basics. The technique I used on you back then is called the Kaioken. It is an incredibly old and powerful technique, known only by a handsome of men throughout the universe. It is rumored to originate from the world beyond us..."
"Yeah, yeah, cut the backstory." Rudely interrupted Antary, however John did not seem bothered by it. He coughed, and continued.
"This technique is about using your body to it`s absolute limits with the use of energy. Humans like you and me can only use up to 25% of our body without endangering it. The Kaioken technique can increase that limit. However, the stress it puts to the body is incredible, and should not be used lightly. If you want to learn the Kaioken technique, you must first master the use of energy. First, let`s begin with the... erm... The most basic maneouver of advanced energy control. People refer to it as the Explosive Wave, usually. You probably still remember the alien that you fought before that tournament started, and therefore you have an idea of how it looks like. That girl you fought was very good with energy control. She could probably rival me, eh heh heh."
"Wait a minute, how do you even know about what I`ve been doing?" Antary was beginning to feel awkward. This old man seems to know everything about him. Though he for some reason refers to Antary as "human".
"I can sense all energies on the planet. In fact, there are some powers that could easily destroy you as you are right now. This one fellow in particular, I kept a close eye on him. A dangerous fellow, that pink short guy. You might have seen him at the tournament."
The saiyan nods, however his impatience getting the best of him. "So when do we begin the training? I don`t want to spend days listening to your life story." In response, the old man sighs, crossing his arms. Antary could feel John`s power rapidly rising, and soon he began to glow. After a couple more seconds, the man extends his arms, releasing a transparent spherical wave of green ki all around him, spanning around 20 metres and destroying all the rock in it`s way into dust. Antary had to jump away to not get caught in the blast. This wave stopped only moments after reaching it`s full prime, John jumps out of the crator he caused and continues talking.
"So, as you may see, this is a very simple move, incredibly useful and quick to use. It will save you in dire situations. But don`t try using it against beam attacks, it won`t work. Anyway, to do this move you have to-"
"Shut up for a moment, I`m concentrating." Not even looking at his new teacher, the saiyan crossed his arms just like the old man did, and, after gathering what he thought was enough energy, extended the arms, releasing it all at once in a gigantic explosion. Antary`s wave was less transparent, but it had the same features, excluding the color of the blast. The color was white, just like his aura`s. After a few seconds of holding this wave, he stopped, unwillingly descending due to fatigue.
"Hey, not bad, you actually did it better than me. But you used up all of your energy. If you put too much power into this move, it can easily go to waste. I prefer to use it to knockback small numerous blasts of energy or to knock someone away. Destruction is rarely the thing this is used for." Explains John. Antary claps his hands, trying to "make the fatigue go away" to no avail.
"I think we should continue tomorrow. You seem pretty tired. Tomorrow we will continue training with energy usage, taking it a step further. And after that, I`ll let you try the Kaioken. Understood?" Antary sighs, following his new teacher as he started walking somewhere, probably his place of living.
(And now for the move "rules":
Explosive Wave - A transparent wave of pure energy that comes in a spherical form around the user out of his body. Varies in size and strength depending on how much power is put into it. Can be from a harmless knockback to a devastating nuke like explosion.
PL for reward (if there will be one), can tweak the move if there is a problem)
Also, this takes place after Ikezu vs Antary fight, when Antary was sent back on Earth)
After the defeat at the tournament, Antary dedicated himself to training almost completely.
