The Hadrion Device

    "Ah, it appears we have a visitor."

    Emerging from deep within the miasmic mist that encompassed the entirety of the area around the other two, the elder sibling of the present Lady Ise now made his presence known. Lord Polarus Wintergreen had little intent on allowing his sister to go to any potentially dangerous set of circumstances by her lonesome, and thus was quite insistent upon having himself present in the case of any problems ever coming to light in the duration of her little expedition of inquisitive nature. Obviously, his request was founded on solid grounds, as precisely what he had predicted now came to pass.

    While this Saiyan-looking stranger held nothing larger than an ember of a flame to the fiery inferno that was his little sister's own vast reservoir of strength, even the weakest of beasts could hold unforeseen danger within their wake, and so Polarus remained incredibly vigilant of whatever may be up this newcomer's sleeves- choosing to engage whilst already within his dubbed Monster form, his intimidating musculature colored ruby red with a piercingly scarlet gaze to go in tandem with the similarly colored natural bio-mask his body formed around his face whenever undergoing a further transformation (Which helped quite a bit in filtering out the nastiness of the lingering Destron fumes, his creators thinking well ahead of their time).

    There was only truly one answer to the question that Ise had proposed early on within their confrontation, and of course it was one that presumably all three present knew all too well, if they at least did the slightest bit of background research anyways. After a quick bit of diving into whatever informational records their forces had gathered about the area and the planet in general, Polarus was well aware of the potentially interesting technological advancements that laid below the rubble of this roughened up former megalopolis. Such weaponry could do much in the shaking up of the state of relations between the Tuffles and the Saiyans if it were ever to be put into the wrong hands, and so the two siblings wanted to ensure that such mechanizations of mayhem were placed in the ownership of the proper persons. 

    That of course being themselves, but, it looked as though this interloper had other plans in mind. 

    "While I do not wish to be ill-mannered, we appear to be at an impasse. My sister and I both are well aware of what you may be seeking throughout the depths of the ruins before us, and the device in question just so happens to pique our interest."

    Ground trembling gently as he made his way over to where his sister stood, Polarus' gaze remained focused on the hired gun as he continued to speak, finishing with a dramatic flourish of the tail as he stated, "I am more than sure that we can come to some sort of agreement, yes? Without needed to even entertain the idea of fisticuffs? I would rather not have to resort to such barbaric needs so soon."

While likely not visible with her visor on Ise raised an eyebrow at the Mercenary’s response to their arrival, part of her wondered if perhaps he lacked the means to read power, it certainly would explain a great deal of is bravado, or perhaps he was simply hiding his full strength, that particular trick was something Ise had picked up as well not terribly long ago herself.

Honestly Ise had not been entirely expecting his rather caustic reaction to her being a Saiyan, she had even vaguely assumed him to BE a Saiyan, his pattern was different from the usual Saiyan baseline but the fact he was himself stronger than average would certainly explain that, his general body type though was roughly analogous to a Saiyan so it had seemed logical enough.

As the Merc did his best to have a staredown with Polarus Ise casually llifted into the air and crossing her arms over her chest placed herself in between the Merc and Polarus, keeping a bit airborn to ensure she placed herself directly in the path of his vision.

“Not that your little staredown with my brother is not incredibly adorable or anything but it appears you are harboring a few delusions about this situation that require rectifying.

Firstly, you suffer from the belief that you are in any sort of position of power right now. You are not, Polarus alone could handle you if he so chose” It would certainly be a FIGHT, perhaps one that if Polarus opted to not go all out the merc could even win, especially if he proved to have more power than Ise estimated from him.

“For the sake of your ego I will not bother describing the embarrassment that would be an attempt on your part to fight against myself” Ise gave the Merc a grin that practically DARED him to disagree.

“Secondly you are operating on the belief that we care if the failure of your mission here might harm your reputation. Perhaps Polarus might, I do not.” Ise doubted her brother cared much either. “I would assume that you might at least however have an interest in still being paid which is an option that remains on the table if you were to work with us instead, perhaps it may even lead to more work if you impress and opt to use the brain I assume you have at your disposal to act right because…” the teenage saiyan paused briefly to smirk at the mercenary.

“Thirdly, my brother is not the one you need to get the approval of though having his approval would go quite a long way to helping you. My name is Ise Wintergreen, and I am the one you need to convince of your usefulness.”

    No matter. They clearly had the number and power advantage, and it would not take much more for them to fully become hostile. While the Argin did not fear dying in battle, he did wanted to have his mission completed. With quick thoughts, he considered his options, as well as his gadgets left on his briefcase. There was something he could do, although risky. For now, he would play ball.

    "Fine. So long as you pay me the same amount as my contractor, I'll help you do whatever you want."

    In reality, Maxsuz knew too well people like them could no be trusted in the slightest, and their word meant close to nothing, especially the Saiyan's. Luckily for him, his plan would remain in place for now. He walked a few steps towards the nearest underground entrance and looked back at the duo.

    "I suppose you know how to traverse the Destron Depths, since you're here. If not, I've made by homework about the area, and can guide you around. Once we get to our destination, you can do what you please with what we find there. If you're ready, we can proceed with the expedition."

    It would help a lot if the two "siblings" did not know their way through the underground, for it would make his plan go even more smoothly.
