Setting
Rasing her hands up to slam against his arm, she knew that she would be unable to unleash a Ki attack from this distance without hurting herself. So, she used her head. "But... I..." Abusing her flexability she brought up her upper half, her voice roaring s the whole battlefield would see her hopfully prevail. "...I don't swing that way" Not the worst one-liner I've come up with... With a roar she brought her head up to slam against the Arcosian.
With her enemies stunned and unable to fight, Pikruel charged up her next attack. "Galick...Gun!"
The purple beam of energy cut a path through the swarm of invaders, allowing her to quickly approach the Arcosian with ease.
When the cry of a Galick Gun reached his ears, he snapped his gaze accordingly to face the other Saiyin that now rushed towards him. Let's kill two birds with one stone Staring down the other Saiyin with out so much as a thought, Dashade swung around and launched Nion's body right at Pikruel. "Well, maybe you swing her way!"
...That was terrible
Using the momentary distraction caused by the violent Ki wave to close in on the battle, in the next second after blasting down the brunt of the armies forces she broke off, charging directly at her comrade who'd just lost upper hand of her own fight. Charging straight at an fully aware enemy like that, bad move as she quickly learned when the black alien hurled the other woman directly at her. The resounding crunch of their bodies slamming into each other was enough to make him wince in pain. By the time they where in a tangled heap on the ground Taao had made it to ground under the cover of the boulder sized chunks broken from the mountain. From there he only had to cross 15 meters and unleash his surprise attack. Easy enough. However in his current state, without much time to prepare, he doubted seriously that he'd have enough power to kill the guy, however killing for him was a last resort.
"1...", " 2.." on the count of three lept over the boulder with a front-flip. In the time it took to reach the ground he'd gathered all the strength into his leg muscles that he could while at the same time focusing all the Ki he'd managed to gather in his right hand. The moment his balls of his feet hit the planets surface he rushed at the enemies back at break neck speed, crossing 10 of those meters in almost a blink of an eye, right arm outstretched with his fingers together, sharp nails forming forming a blade as sharp or sharper than any blade aimed to pierce the alien through the left shoulder. He did all this in the matter of seconds, and there was no battle cry to give away his position or angle of attack. This was his gamble.
"Now, TO FINISH THI-" Before he could let loose the cry and finish off the two threats for good, he only just noticed the stretched out green arm moments before it's blade-like claws buried themselves in his shoulder. With a shreik of pain he let go of his Ki blasts, one flying off to the side and another falling to the ground, both resulting in unimportant explosions. "Damn, the third fighter! I had forgotten about him... He must be with the Saiyins"
A Namekian!?When the attack came, Dashade's head instinctively went to the source where he gaped at the single Namekian, his eyes drawn to the Ki blast charging in the alien's free hand. There was no time to plan, it was obvious what the next move would be. Thinking quickly, the Arcosian warrior grabbed a hold of the stretched arm with his other hand. Time to see how far this Namekian elastic limbs stretches
He charged up the Milky Cannon in one hand before dashing into the air, keeping his grip on the arm and hopfully pulling up the Namekian with him.
A few feet away from Dashade, she reappeared, firing a standard ki blast from her outstretched hand. If successful, she would continue rocketing up to Dashade and uppercut him in the face.
"How do you like that?" she said. "I call it the Fake-Out Mirage!"
With the threat removed Taao immediately dashed backward putting even more distance between him and the enemy to avoid any counter blast the alien probably hoped to trap him in. It's only victim would be his already severed arm. He looked up just in time to see one of the women appear near to the alien, and using a ki blast propelled herself vertically, right for the alien. He marveled at their raw combat ability, Taao fully expected they would both be out for a while, but here she'd already recovered and launched a counter attack which was to her credit quite unorthodox. Weather or not her second attack proved more fruitful than the last Taao hoped she would keep his attention long enough for him to gather the energy he needed to regenerate his right arm and get back in the fight.
In her downfall Nion was able to look up from her position, her mouth spitting out pieces of the ground that invaded her mouth, allowing her to witness the Namekian Warrior get Dashade in the shoulder. Before ripping off his own arm. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYBODY ON THIS PLANET!?"
"Leave this planet alone!"
And that's when Pikruel's fist implanted itself firmly within his chest "Arg! SHIT!" Was the only words he was able to gasp out as the punch threatened to tear right through his armour and skin.
"Leave this planet alone!"
The words got on Dashade's nerves slightly, making his retort as he reached out to grab a hold of her shoulders. "I will leave this planet when the threats against my men cease their pointless slaughter!"
"I'm not interested in hurting any of your men, but this planet isn't theirs, and I won't do nothing while your men slaughter them and steal their lands."
"We're not stealing anyone's land, we're defending ourselves. We arrived here to announce the death of Lord Frost and the ascendence of Lord Heeta, they reacted with violence. While I do not wish for a slaughter, I will not allow any more casualties of my people"
So now, an army of 500 stood amoung the wastland that was their battlefield. Some dead some knocked out, some cowering and some ready to go and fight once more. But all stood watching the lone Arcosian that stood between them and death's doorstep. It was strane, from most rumors spreading around the empire of HIS clan, it was a surprise that the Arcosian was actually that strong. Maybe he could distract the attackers until the real help arrive... If it was comming at all.
"Common, you ass...holes..." THe random insult had come from the ground, where various rocks seperated for Nion to strugle to her feet. "I can take you all on with one arm tiedbheind my back... Then... Then I'll go after the lizard king up there..." I'll give you a chance to have your fun, Partner... But when he kicks your ass I'll be smiling... And I need time to recover some lost pride.
His hopes where quickly dashed as a pile of rubble transformed into a woman who'd clearly not had her fill of fighting. To his lament the one he perceived to be more than a little high on battle with no intentions of coming down soon. He admired to woman's fighting spirit, and wonderful complexion, but he wished she would have stayed down a little longer
"I can take you all on with one arm tied behind my back... " She boasted to the remaining soldiers proudly, and while he could tell by their beaten down expression that most of them knew they where completely outmatched which was a relief. However there where plenty among them who their unneeded fighting spirit on their faces and who knew well before they actually charged forward that it was time. The soldiers charged, and not just in the blue woman's direction but some where headed for him as well, a good 50/50 of a hundred or so fighters. He too felt as though he could take them on with just one arm but he wasn't about to take that chance.
" AHHHHHHHH! " Taao roared as his power level would suddenly begin to spike. He focused his energies within him on the task of regenerating damaged cells in a similar manner as when he healed the beaten up meltain boy, only this time it was his own body he was working with which made it much easier. In no time at all another arm slick with greenish-yellow slime was born in place of the stump attached to his right shoulder, which gave both groups of men pause long enough for Taao to remove his cloak and prepare to fight.

"Crush them! " one of the more burly soldiers with a red scouter called out to his comrades. " Look how Dashade fights for to protect US! Are we mice or are we men, Shall we fail Lord Heeta here?! " All the men who'd initially stepped forward to fight answered with a resounding NO, even a few of those who'd formally accepted defeat chose to step out with strengthened resolve
His scouter COM was still on for the moment and with a quick glance to the remaining opponents he attempted a few pieces of advice towards his comrades. "Do not underestimate your enemy, men. The green one is a Namekian, a race known for their healing abilities and, as you can see, self-regeneration. I suggest attacking the heavily wounded warrior first before the Namekian has a chance to make her an even bigger threat. Fight with vigour, for Lord Heeta!"
The Saiyin in front of him seemed to have the same distaste for any more killing as him, but as her partner has already proved. A peace would be improbable.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The battle cries of many Soldiers filled the battleground, some charging towards the suggested blue target, while others sought to hold off the healer. The name of their Lord left the mouths of many, their spirits rising as they began their assault yet again.
A quick glance up had her staring at the Namekian that dis-cloaked, preparing for the upcomming battle; the thought of a Namekian fighting made Nion chuckle. "I'd say its best if you leave while you can, Namekian. This is a Saiyin's fight, no place for a paccifist"
"I just realized, I don't know anyone's name here. Mine's Pikruel. I don't want any more of your men to die either, but I can't say I'm not enjoying this. It's been a while since I've faced an opponent as strong as you. This may be easier said than done, but I'll try to end this battle quickly and force the rest of your men to retreat."
Rushing forward, Pikruel would appear to be preparing for a head-on attack on the Arcosian. This, however, was only her Fake-Out Mirage at work again. Trailing a little behind would be her true self, and while the illusion would make a punch for the Arcosian's face, the real Pikruel would be releasing her Galick Gun. The lack of charge would make it relatively weak, but she hoped it would catch him unprepared and wide open.
He prepared to fire at the woman, but a sudden thought occured that made him change his earlier plan. The woman had tricked him before with her Fake-out Mirage . And considering how simply charging me now would put her at a disadvantage... I can't take the chance that she's tricking me He charged up a Ki blast and lept up to soar over his opponent, looking down on her to see if the actual Pikruel was staying around, that's when he saw the crackle of purple energy signifying the charge up of a powerful attack.
Quickly he charged up his Ki blast in one hand and the milky cannon in the other, he was using all of his energy for this. If the attack didn't succeed, he would be completely at her mercy. The arcosian fired the milky cannon just moments before firing his crimson Ki blast, pushing his other attack towards her. "Let's finish this!"
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Aboard the mothership, Holly was losing his patience. He tapped his foot, with his arms crossed as he watched the battle from his screen. Some of the soldiers had cameras attached to their suits, which delivered him a first-person view of the action.
"Enough. I'm tired of waiting. If Dashade hasn't finished the Saiyans off yet, then it's time I take care of this myself. Open the door!"
The blast hit him on causing a sevear paint to envelop his body, like fire itself coursed through his veins in an orchestra of pain. His body collapsed, sending the Arcosian down to the ground, forced onto his knees as he struggled to stay up right. "Blast... It didn't kill me, and I can muster no strength to keep this fight going. How humiliating..."
________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"O-Of course, Commander!" Another soldier saluted at the Commander's barking, pressing a few keys on the control pannle to open the roof of the ship. Allowing Commander Holly a clear way out. "Shall we send in more troops to accompany you, sir?"
"Grandpa, the mountain doesn't matter right now!" A child whined, gripping onto his Grandpa's leg.
"What could possibly be more important then the desecration of our rocks?"
A cough came a few metres away from the arguing family, a squad of Soldier's looking very peeved off at the fact that they had been ignored. "Hello! We have guns... We're raiding your house. Killing your people. Did you seriously forget about us!?"
"Quiet you! I am talking with my oaf of a child!"
"Oh, sorry..." The man paused for a moment, before reeling back in surprise at his words. "Wait, no I'm not! Put your hands where I can see em, you old geezer!"
Another soldier approached the man from behind, tapping him on the shoulder "Uh.. Sir, the wreckage is moving..."
"Not now, I'm intimidating the elderly!"
"But, Sir!"
"What is I-" Before the man could finish his sentence a large flaming engine had dropped from what had seemingly been from no where, landing directly on the man's head and bringing him to the floor.
"I think he's dead..." Commented another soldier.
"No, my engine!" A soft and high pitched squeal came from above them, looking up the soldier were surprised for their gaze to meet that of a bright mixture of green and yellow, te small frame of what could be seen as a woman landed just atop of the engine, madly stomping out the flames. "Oooooh, Master is going to be so mad at m- Arg! HOT! HOT! HOT!" The fire had began to spread all over her clothes, leading to the small green woman to dive to the ground, rolling around the field in a desperate attempt to shake off the fire while everyone around her watched in confusion.
"W-what the hell is that thing!?" The woman in armor raised her arm cannon at the creature with wide eyes "It's some sort of bubble gum abomination!" With that she fired wildly at it, again looking to the body of her easily killed team mate.
Within a few seconds of the cannon firing, the small girl had disappeared from view to the surprise of the attacker. Before any reactions could be seen, the blob of green had appeared in front of the soldier, her arm pulled back, stretching back to inhuman lengths. Without hesitation the grinning green devil let her fist launch forward and collide with the woman's chest, shooting the body backwards like a bullet and blasting her through the side of a near by bolder. "That hurt!" The creature screamed.
"But the blast never hit y-" The other soldier forgot the rest of his questioned as he noticed a peculiar thing about the blob (More peculiar then that she looked like she was made from gum); her right ear was missing. The blast had hit. "Y-your ear! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?"
"I am...uh... The Mysticulous Trumpeter!" She replied with gusto, raising her hand in the air to cup her lost ear, though frowing as she thought to what she said. "Wait... THat's not right... The Stainger? Nope... Bbah! I forgot" sMILING AKWARDLY, THE GIRL PUSHED HER PALMS INTO HER SIDES. "I mean, I'm Kazaam. What is up, people that I am friendly with"
"Friendly!? You just killed two of us!"
"It was just a spar, she'll be up any second now"
"SHE'S DEAD!"
"Pfft... Probably just tired, from all that... Oh, blarg. I did it again!"
The old man tilted his head at the supposed invaders of his planet. "I expected you to be much more threatening..."
"Hey, don't blame us. We're just rookies. The real soldier's were all sent to deal with the Saiyins..."
Kazaam's head perked up as she heard them, her eyes widening with glee. "Saiyins!? You mean the grumpy furry guys?" With a nod from the man, Kazaam jumped off of the body of the other dead man and gleefully jogged past the two. "I was looking for Saiyins! Secret Mission from Master, still a go!"
As she seemed to gleefully skip past the two corpses of their dead friends, the soldiers were only confused. "Should we call the Commander...?"
"Hell, no! Do you want to tell him we got beat up by a bubble gum monster!?"
