It was a cool night in the city of Lux. The bustling streets were lit beautifully by the lights of the various buildings. Floating meters into the air was a fat "human" among Konatsians. The only man on the streets who would know ahead of time just how dark and lifeless these streets would become tonight. Despite his appearance, he was not a human, but a Namekian mutant by the name of Marimba, disguised as a Human for the sake of anonymity. He had only recently adopted this persona, known as "Vuvuzela" in order to carry out his mercenary work. His loitering tonight was not on a whim, but by the order of a certain Konatsian King who had promised him a very special reward for his aid.
BOOOOOOOOOM. KA-CARACK!
In the distance, explosions could be seen coming from Gamma Row, followed by the sound of loud bellowing, the cries of battle, and the screams of fear. All of the criminals had been freed, as according to what Vuvuzela was told beforehand. This was his cue to get moving.
Vuvuzela flies off soaring to the south and finds his target in under a minute. An area with numerous generators and buildings. He was told that the generators would be powering the city's force field, one of it's main defenses. Out of the buildings, numerous Lux defense androids, were emerging, taking to the skies as platoons. They appeared as crystalline Konatsians, who's bodies shimmered with the energy of their core. Immediately, Vuvuzela's presence is noticed, and the androids turn to face the invader before firing destructive beams of light upon him from their chests.
For a moment, the combined might of the drones appear to be overwhelming the mercenary, pushing him backwards. But then, Vuvuzela's power doubles, and a fearsome energy wave erupts from his mouth, sweeping over the androids and eradicating them completely. More Lux Droids would continue to emerge, but the disguised Namekian didn't have time to waste being stalled by swaths of these "Toy Soldiers". Rapidly striking at the ground, Vuvuzela buries into the earth, soon finding himself in an dark underground sub-facility filled with more generators.
He was in the perfect spot, the center point between his targets above and his targets further below. Crossing his arms, Vuvuzela gathers his Ki, with bolts from the residual energy of charging lashing out and searing parts of the environment. A gigantic explosive wave is then released, blasting out the area's above and below, with the radius reaching up into the sky.
Vuvuzela floated out of the pit to see that nothing remained of the compound but smoke and debris. The clothes of the hired saboteur were incinerated in his own blast, yet it didn't seem to matter to him. With a curving of his finger, Vuvuzela fired a beam at his own body, materializing a new copy of his outfit. The obese man glanced over the horizon. The city of Lux was now completely dark, and a forcefield surrounding the city had been activated, but appeared weaker than it should be. Now all that was left was for the King's other Agent's to finish taking out the second power plant. As the screams of terror continue, a disembodied voice begins echoing through the city.
"PEOPLE OF LUX. I, NARCCIUS OF THE OF THE WHITE ROSE KINGDOM, HAVE COME TO RECLAIM THIS CITY. A CITY THAT RIGHTFULLY BELONGED TO MY LINE, BEFORE IT WAS ROBBED UNCERIMONIUSLY FROM MY GRANDATHER'S HAND BY REBELS! I AM NOT WITHOUT MERCY. I WILL ACCEPT A SURRENDER. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE. ALL THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO REBEL OR CLAIM "INDEPENDANCE", WILL ALL SOON LIE DEAD AT MY FEET!"

Just as he would finish speaking, as if timed to the exact moment, another explosion would rise in the distance, and the city force-field vanished. Vuvuzela could sense thousands of Konatsian soldiers flooding into the city. Some groups appearing out of thin air, most likely having teleported. Truly, the full-force invasion had begun. Will Lux be able to maintain it's independence? Or will it fall into the hands of the royal monarchies once again, now ruled by an enigmatic new king?

{Spoiler} If anyone wants an FC for Vuvuzela, he looks similar to the rich man imperfect cell absorbed in ginger town.
