The situation had turned from manageable to chaotic in the space of a few minutes. The Argin had tried to appeal to his opponent's senses of reason, pride and morality, but it was all for naught. Not only that, but in a completely shock turn of events, his operation partner called out his bluff and laughed at his claim of desiring a peaceful life. Sure, that was an utter lie, but the enemies did not have to know that. A peaceful life was not in Maxsuz' radar until he found out who plotted against him back in his home world and had his revenge on them. For that end, he would require a ridiculous amount of money, in order to buy his way back into Seratus through the Underworld Market, and to bribe officers for information. Of course, none of these imbeciles even deserved to be aware of that. The continuous attempts to judge his character or to assume his intentions and motives were beginning to get on his nerves.

Marimba finished switching sides by asking the swordsman to leave, and Crotona threatened to kill him again if he did not leave, while Amara tried to argue again why his position was evil. The truth is, he was actually sympathetic to the cause of Narciccus and the plights that being a king entailed. None of those simpletons probably the slightest clues of how difficult it is to lead a nation. The ex-prince knew all it too well. His father and his own life payed dearly for it. He did not even know what to say at that point. For the first time in maybe decades, he felt... Betrayed. Anger began to boil within him. His árula was about to burst out in rage. He wanted all of them dead. The hypocritical Konatsian, the meddler Tuffle and the traitor Namekian. His mind wondered, as he imagined countless ways of ripping them apart in a few instants.

But, at the end of the day, he knew for a fact he was outmatched. He took a deep breath and focused on his next move. He glanced at each one of the three before speaking, first to Marimba.

"To think that I helped you at all. It shows how foolish I was to even consider doing this to aid the Mazoku kind." - then, to Amara. - "You don't have the slightest idea of what you are saying, so it would be best to keep your mouth shut. You couldn't even imagine what I've been through and what I think of things. If all Tuffles were as smart as you, then I think their title of most intelligent race should be revoked immediately. You don't even belong here, and yet you want to try upon judgment. You people are all the same. You never answer the tough questions. 'Oh, he is the agressor, so he is obviously the evil one.' What a load of crap. You make me sick." - and finally to Crotona. - "As for you, you stupid child-minded 'hero', I'll take you up on that offer. I promise never to come back to Konats." - the Himônus turned around and started walking away, before turning back to talk a little more. - "But I'll ask you to stay out of my businesses from now on. My powers are still growing at a rapid rate, and I haven't reach maturity for my species yet. I can promise you this. If you get in my way again, I'll take my time with you. In fact, that stands for all of you. So long, and may we never meet again, for your sake."

With that final speech, Maxsuz took of in a ball of black fire and disappeared in the darkness of the night sky.

Post by Marimba on Jul 24, 2022 3:00:37 GMT -5

"I've been in a similar position myself. While I won't claim to fully understand the blight of being an outcast and stripped from the bare necessities of life, persecution and hatred are old friends. If you want a more logical and self-serving reasoning, I believe that simply treating the Mazoku like Namekians instead of mutants would prevent incidents like these - where a warrior like yourself is pushed to the extreme to provide for his people. We COULD cut you and the swordsman down today and thwart the attack in a matter of seconds, but that course of action simply leaves room for more hatred to blossom."

Marimba was satisfied upon hearing Celosia explain her sound reasoning behind helping him. Had she been doing this out of some of kind pity, the proud Mazoku warrior would have been more hesitant to accept, and so would many of his other clansmen. Though he hated hearing the spoken truth about how easily he could be cut down by the Tuffle, he was put more at ease by her remarks overall. Turning to Celosia, the Namekian comments.

"Calling us "Mutants" is the nice way of describing what we are. "Demons" is the more apt term for what the dragon and warrior clans would brand us. As well as most other outsiders, who have all learned of our existence through them."

"Also, because of the dominion the other clans over the course of the Namekian language, the word "Mazoku" has become synonymous with "Demon". If translated literally into galactic common, word for word, we are the Demon Clan. With the passage of time we've come to answer by that title, and fully expect to be treated as such by the rest of existence. This has been the case for longer than I can remember."

Anger began to boil within him. His árula was about to burst out in rage. He wanted all of them dead.

"To think that I helped you at all. It shows how foolish I was to even consider doing this to aid the Mazoku kind."

"But I'll ask you to stay out of my businesses from now on. My powers are still growing at a rapid rate, and I haven't reach maturity for my species yet. I can promise you this. If you get in my way again, I'll take my time with you. In fact, that stands for all of you. So long, and may we never meet again, for your sake."

With that final speech, Maxsuz took of in a ball of black fire and disappeared in the darkness of the night sky.

Marimba gazed as if hypnotized by the intense black flames of rage emanating from Maxsuz as he blasted off into the horizon. He was like a blazing star that could consume the whole continent in fire if it were to be unleashed upon the land. What the dark swordsman said about about his power increasing was definitely no bluff. The masked warrior's power had grown considerably since they last saw each other, while in comparison Marimba's had barely increased.

As much as he hated to inwardly admit it, Maxsuz was right in what he said to him on Namek. He could kill every last living Mazoku on a whim alone. The longer the mutant stared at his former ally's departure, the more he was secretly filled with a toxic concoction of envy, bitterness, and rage at his own powerlessness.

Crotona eyes glanced daggers at Marimba. She was still furious at him. But she would make sure Amara would help the Mazoku. But she could never fully trust him again. “You were gonna use your power to protect people. I trained you to do that.” Crotona muttered under her breath as the horn on her head glowed slightly with a blue hue.

Crotona may have been muttering, but to Namekian ears her message, both verbal and non-verbal was painfully clear. The Mazoku turned to face her glare. The look he reciprocated with his own crimson eyes were deadpan, showing neither pride nor regret. He then looks away from her, and begins to speak.

"It is said, that when push comes to shove, a person's greatest loyalties are revealed. You are my friend, and I am not devoid of loyalty to you. But my greatest loyalty was never to my friends, and neither is yours"

"For me, it is to my kin, to see them strong, happy and, prospering as a people. For you, I believe it is the peace and prosperity of Konatsian kind, even when it's Konatsian kind itself that threatens that peace. For that, you would sacrifice yourself, and even go as far as to kill your own friends for it if absolutely necessary. The same can be said for me, and that fact alone makes us both always capable of betraying one another."

"You could even go as far as to call it slavery, rather than loyalty. All of us are slaves to something. Had I never met you, I believe I would have become a slave to vengeance. A degenerate monster that would go as far as to sacrifice myself, and my own brothers alike to serve that."

"I fear that same Vengeance is the thing that Renegade is quickly becoming enslaved to. For the Mazoku Clan to be safe from him, I need to become strong enough to teach him the error of his ways, for when the time comes, he will seek to destroy them in service to vengeance."

"As for the Gourd of Water, the King isn't going to have it on his person. He has it in-use elsewhere in his kingdom somewhere. To steal the Gourd away from the White Rose people would be to betray your own greatest loyalty. It simply isn't going to happen. Only a double-minded hypocrite would be capable of that, and contrary to what Renegade thinks, that isn't who you are."

"Anyways, now that the basic necessities of my family no longer hang in the balance, I no longer need to help the king. I will honor my agreement and leave the planet."

"I've been away from Namek for too long regardless, and part of me worries that a threat may befall my people while I am gone, and I will not be there to protect them or die fighting alongside them. If I were to end up being the sole survivor, there is no telling what I would then become."

Marimba walks away from the two women, sprouting gigantic green dragon-like wings, and spreading them to their full span.

"Until next we meet, Crotona, Celosia."

With a flapping of his great wings the mutant takes flight into the sky. With practiced alacrity, he soars into the horizon, continuing on without looking back, until he is eventually out of view.

The more Maxsuz talked the more she wanted to shut him up. Especially when he basically said he was going to continue to do bad things. He would not just do it to Konats. Amara tried to convince him that he could head to another planet to get some farmland, he just tried to shut her down. This guy was just a bully, and he bully other people weaker than him. The only reason he was turning around was that he could not bully them. That was her mindset on Maxsuz. So why should she let him walk away? When they walk away what stopped them from just oppressing their will if they were weaker. He remembered Phakk and Ward. If they had been so obviously outmatched, would they of just walked away? Then come back and do the same thing in the future to the Mazoku people. Crotona gripped her sword in deep thought.

While Celosia talked with Marimba, trying to connect with him (She seemed to do well with that task.) Crotona was still thinking. Maxsuz had started to leave so she really didn't have a lot of time to make a choice. Marimba's word did strike her though, he must have heard her muttering to herself. As Marimba put it, he was there for his people first. If his people were in danger the others didn't matter. But he did note he had changed. She had made him fight for something else. Not just vengeance, he was a protector. He wanted better for his people not to just destroy those who had stepped upon them. As for the gourd, it could not be stolen, because he does not betray the white rose people. They needed that gourd-like Marimba did. So instead, Celosia was gonna help with her tech. And most of all, she was not like Maxsuz, she was not a hypocrite like he claimed she was.

It helped her thoughts seeing Marimba flying out she gave a nod. "Be careful." She glanced at Celosia, "Thank you. Make sure Marimba is safe on the leave." Crotona's sword glowed with ki. Her horn burst with blue energy as she flew up to catch up to Maxsuz with a burst of speed. The Z-Sword began to shift glowing and morphing into a large Hammer as if carrying the weight of the entire ocean. She gripped the enlarged weapon in her hands. Her eyes flashed with regret before hardening. She knew what she had to do. "Levantras. I call upon your power. Oceanus Pressure!" She went to slam the hammer down on their ribs of Maxsuz and send him falling back into the city. "Your business..as you said. It is hurting people. I am not like what you think. I wanna protect more than just my people. I wanna protect everyone I can. I can't allow you to leave if your just gonna turn around and hurt other people. You are right about one thing about me. I'm not as heroic as I thought I was." Her mouth opened as she breathed out a mist of ki her teeth sharp like fangs. "I'm a Monster. Too bad for you."

"I was unaware that intelligence directly scaled by how much someone agrees with the viewpoint of a mercenary swordsman. Thanks for letting me know!" Maxsuz DID succeed at getting under her skin, though an ability like that was best used in rooms of debate rather than fields of war. With how perfectly and eloquently he pivoted from standpoint to insult to arrogant dismissal, Amara was tempted to say she was impressed. The muted feeling was more of a curious distaste than anything else. His words had attempted attacked from varying angles, each of which ultimately failed. Amara was too jaded and far too stubborn to fall for silver-tongued snakes ever again, a lifetime of it during the war and with Yangcong leaving a permanent bitterness in her soul.

Even the rotund mutant called out the Alien for what appeared to be a blatant lie, taking much more pleasure in mocking it than anything else. "We can sit and prattle all we'd like. Truthfully, I don't particularly care what your deeper reasonings are. The cut of your character, motivations, and intentions ultimately led you to this moment one way or another. That decision was yours, and YOUR choice led you to support an attack on an independent entity that has long since cast away ties to the former owners. In a world where this was Taqar and a blood rebellion flared beneath our feet, I'd be compelled to stop it... but that isn't reality. Sins of the father are not sins of the son."

Amara was Saiyan royalty at her roots. Reared under a famous general and intended to one day lead a swathe of her people into combat - guide them into prosperity. Most of her life had been lived under the banner of a kingdom. Yet, unlike Maxsuz, she felt nothing for the White Rose King. His attempt at reclaiming land reminded her only of the bloody conflict that had raged between Tuffle and Saiyan for decades, even if the situations were radically different in theory. "That being said, I might be wrong." The woman shrugged listlessly, knowing that every choice she made couldn't possibly be right. "That's something I can accept. And claiming I don't belong here? Ha! What are you then, the secret son to Konats' throne? You're nothing but another Alien outsider like me passing judgment upon the people of Lux instead of the reverse."

Nothing more than a hypocritical malefactor throwing a temper tantrum. She watched his initial escape, black flames soaring up into the sky. "Alright, Marimba. Seeing as we were able to come to a non-petty understanding like adults, I can safely say it's been a pleasure... aside from the initial nasty business. Take care of yourself." The Mazoku would make his own exit, wings carrying the Namekian far from their spot next to the giant busted underground generator. "...I might have to fix that," the Tuffle muttered lowly. "Anyways, Crotona, I was thinking-" Wait. Where did she go? Amara's head craned upward, catching the sight of an even more powerful Konatsian attempting to play whack-a-mole with the resident edgelord. "WHY BACK TOWARDS THE CITY, YOU DOLT!?" It was too late to change course; if Maxsuz took the brunt of that attack, he'd be turned into a living cannonball.

Amara hadn't initially cared about the threatening 'tactical retreat' the swordsman had pulled, but if Crotona was intent on FIGHTING him, they could do more damage to the city than the entire invasion force alone! "Nope. Nuh-uh. We are NOT having a drawn-out duel right now." Powering up to her max, Amara flew off toward the two remaining warriors. A massive surge of electricity washed over her body, crackling violently as the Tuffle prepared to go for a decisive shot. A small ball of hardlight formed in her palm, revealing a brilliant blue artificial gem that she crushed without a second thought. The shards turned to pure light, flowing through her body and empowering her even more. "ENOUGH!" Whether Maxsuz was still airborne or crashed somewhere below, Amara would take aim and unleash an unfathomable STORM of electrical Ki, the energy intense enough to fry the swordsman on contact - if Amara hadn't restrained herself, that is.

Maxsuz had just took off from the debate site in the middle of a dark Lux. His thoughts were a turmoil of rage and disappointment. He expected this to be a difficult assignment, but to find not one, but two extremely powerful beings willing to defend it was beyond his expectations, even considering he was quite strong in his own right. What really hurt, though were two things: what those morons kept telling him about his character, and the absolute betrayal of Marimba. Part of the reason he had taken that job was to do something good for someone for once. The Namekian had earned Maxsuz' respect in their last mission, and he thought aiding them in their quest to save their clan would be a good way to show it. Instead, he was backstabbed the moment helping the other side became more convenient for the Mazoku.

The Argin should have known. He was taught early not to trust or help anyone in this line of work. That it would only cause him future headaches. Yet, still, first with Ward and now with Marimba, the Himônus saw himself falling prey to trust again. It was a reminder for him not to commit that mistake again. The larger the distance he kept between him and others, the best off he would be as a whole. He only needed himself and no one else. Thankfully, at the end of the day, he still had completed his part of the job, and thus would still get payed. It was time to resume his main plan, and forget about all those worms who did know a thing about him. So long as they kept out of his business, he would let them be.

However, the constant moral judging from those two hags had gotten to his nerves more than he would have liked. They kept insisting on him being a villain, simply because he was aiding the invading forces, but that was such a black and white way to see the world the bounty hunter would wonder if they even had gotten out of middle school. Marimba was in the same invading forces, but it seems his justification was good enough, so he was left off the hook, and what did they knew about the Renegade anyway? Should he have listed all his recent assignments before this one in particular. Would he need to tell them that just a few days prior he was aiding the Tuffle S.T.A.R.E. institute in a scientific expedition? And before that he was helping the emperor of Arcose capture some criminals, and before that, he was getting rid of Yangcong following terrorists in Plant for the Saiyan government, and before that, he was aiding the Dragon Clan deal with the Mazoku clan raids.

Hell, most of the time he was working with law enforcement, or helping out the locals. The only difference between him and a conventional hero was he treats his deeds as a job that requires payment, instead of doing it for free. But no matter, what he would tell those imbeciles, they were set in their prejudices and false assumptions. Why should he care what a hypocritical lunatic and a low IQ Tuffle think of him? His reasons were his own, and he should not have to answer to anyone. All they had over him was power. Not morals, not principles, not arguments. Not even motivations. And power was something Maxsuz could easy obtain if he put his mind into it.

But, before Maxsuz could think about anything else, he spotted Crotona flying towards him, readying for an attack with all of her might.

"So you finally show your true colors, you psychopath. Even though you were the one to tell me to leave, you're gonna try and kill me when I do it?"

Just as the Renegade was about to transform in order to respond to that attack, a flash of blue light overcame his vision, and next thing he knew, he had crashed on the ground below. Not a single muscle in his body would respond to his commands, and his other senses were fading.

"This must be the work of that Tuffle maggot. Damnit, it was so fast I couldn't even see it. How can a Tuffle be that powerful? ... I can't believe it... I'm going to die here... To these people... I can't... I... Won't..."

With that, the swordsman fell unconscious. His fate was now in the hands of whoever found him first.

Crotona would bring her sword upwards to slash downwards at Maxsuz but Amara was also attacking. The two combined attacks easily disabled and took out Maxsuz. But it did not kill him. Crotona landed with a thud looking down at Maxsuz who was left down at her feet. Crotona brought her sword around looking toward Amara. "Sorry, I should have said something. What Maxsuz said before he tried to leave. He won't stop here. He only left because he was weaker than us. I thought...I thought I could change people with words. But last time I tried that...I almost died. I can still remember the pain. When Phakk and Ward nearly killed me." Crotona closed her eyes. "They were trying to take over Marimba's home, I came to defend that place but back then I was weaker. And they almost killed me. That woman Phakk threw me through a portal across the cosmo, I ended up on Plant near death and alone." Crotona brought her sword back a bit further as her eyes lingered with dark red ki and her sword slowly extended into a Z-Axe. Like an Executioner Axe, she stood above Maxsuz.

"He was right about me. I ain't as noble as I thought I was. But I don't care. I am not gonna let people take advantage of good nature. Marimba did that, I trained him to be strong. To defend his people. And he came here, I know for good purposes. But he was going to hurt these people. Damn one group of people to conquest. That ain't right, we all have a bias toward our own people but we don't get to throw our virtues and morals away." The ax grew in size as Crotona's anger grew as well. It was more as if she was venting to Amara, to explain what she was about to do. "Why did this guy do it? He just wanted power and money. He will hurt others for no more reason than a dime. This ain't a noble goal filled with violence. This is just someone who will hurt others."

The Z-Axe Grew to be bigger than her whole body. Grabbing the handle she would pull back her form. Then she would swing forward to slam the ax into Maxsuz's chest and carry him along with the blade. "I ain't, taking any chances. Not now, not ever again!" She would swing forward to cut through Maxsuz. A blow that was meant to do one thing, end the life of Maxsuz. Whether that worked, was up to fate. She would carry Maxsuz along with the blade to send him flying away from the city. Where he landed did not matter to her. But if he somehow survived, she would only hope he would learn to not do such things again. Not because it was right but because he wanted to live rather than die. With that, she turn to face Amara. "You wanted to say something, go ahead. Just needed to clean up the trash." Her voice was softer but it was not her normal voice. Unlike the demonic voice before it carried an air of otherworldliness.

Amara watched impassively as Crotona moved to presumably finish off Maxsuz. The Tuffle held back, simply wanting to put an immediate end to the skirmish between the two, Maxsuz merely being the more practical of the two to strike. "My hands are stained red as is," She said slowly. "Thus, I left the choice to you on whether to slay or spare." And the decision was clear. If the crumpled Alien somehow survived the deep ax wound, the fall from Crotona's dramatic launch would likely finish the job. Even then... "You left a chance for his survival." Her voice was measured, pointing out a potential flaw in the swordswoman's plan to ensure her enemy never struck again. "That is also on you."

There was something the tech-empowered warrior did wish to discuss. "Next time, don't hold back. And refrain from destroying more of the city you're trying to protect. End your enemy-" Amara's wrist flicked, holoblade materializing in a millisecond as the photon blade stopped just shy of Crotona's neck. "-As efficiently as you can." The weapon faded shortly after as Amara turned to her M.A.P.s, thumb jerking back towards the hotel. "Initiate patrol protocol, filter engagements for White Rose soldiers. Non-lethal combat. If they're already dug in like Maxsuz claimed, it'll take some elbow grease to tear them loose."

It took a powerful will and an unbreakable resolve to stand as a defender. Every minute mistake, every slight lapse in judgment, and the most insignificant deviation from the righteous moral norm would see you lambasted by enemies and allies alike. Maxsuz took advantage of that. His brandied words were like knives slipping between armor plates, aimed intentionally and viciously at any perceived weakness. Crotona was not perfect. She may not have even been entirely justified. Yet to think he could simply fly away AFTER the novel's worth of threats and insults, like a child attempting to secure the last word in an argument? What he calls a psychopath, Amara would call a practical decision.

"Goodbye, Crotona. We may see each other around the city, but I'd like some time apart before we meet again." The events tonight were mentally draining. What ever happened to the villains of yore, so irredeemably vile and violent that punching them down was a viable solution? The Tuffle's eyes closed, lifting off the ground and approaching the secondary generator. She'd need to visit Namek soon. Her promise to Marimba would not go unfulfilled; Amara was many things, but a liar was not one of them.

Crotona glanced at Amara as she said there was a chance Maxsuz was still alive. She could sense out but did not feel any power. "Does not matter. He is still weak." Crotona blinked a few times before shaking her head. "Sorry, I think I really let loose a bit too much." Crotona looked toward Amara as she said that the blade of Amara's holoblade was at her neck. As she explained it, Crotona should not hold anything back and hit Maxsuz with all she could muster. Not allow him to escape. Instead, she hit him with a light blow and led Amara needed to step in to avoid any more damage to the city. "You are right." She had not been sure if her strongest attack would defeat Maxsuz with one blow, but in those moments she didn't want to let him escape. So slowly chipping him down would have been the best course of action in her mind.

She glanced as Amara was going to help clean up all soldiers. She should do that as well. Though without killing them. They were just following the order of their kingdom. At least some might be. And she didn't want to kill another person to do it. Killing Maxsuz was ok, at least that is what she would rationalize. But to start killing when everyone pleased? That was a dark road to start heading down. She would do her best to not make this a habit. Only a last resort. Amara then said goodbye as Crotona nodded. "Right, of course, I wish you the best as well." She would look into the city and begin to float. She was going to take care of the troops and make sure they not be a problem agian.
