The Green Day Burns Red [CARNAGE]

---

With the proper arrival of the rest of the Arcosian offensive forces, as well as the Saiyan Queen's dash for the castle proper, Ginko's corp of Moginaian soldiers hissed and cheered for battle, awaiting further commands. The Moginaian warlord would have rushed into the fray himself, had the dire, unfortunate news not hit the airwaves by his Lord, close enough to hear the hurt in Emperor Ticoga's voice. Ticoga's home... Even Ginko's new home, was under assault by the dirty rotten monsters that were these Namekian Mazoku. The alien's body visibly tensed from the anger, his own rage of the matter stiffening his core resolve.

Since his conquering by Emperor Ticoga, Ginko's homeworld of Mogina was culled of their ineffective warriors in favor of proper, useful beings to the empire. This was not a practice Ginko opposed, his own people used natural selection to determine good survival years themselves, but the majority of his truly strongest, battle hardened Moginaians had been stationed on Arcose as both supplementary troops, as well as manual labor forces to assist in defensive measures. It was no doubt in Ginko's mind that the bastards of the Mazoku were slaughtering his people by the thousands and he was stuck here, on this god forsaken oasis planet staring down a castle. A stupid castle.

I guess it was going to be his castle then. They had to reclaim something at least.

Reeling back his massive form, Ginko would begin to roar, fire spewing from his maw into the air above his army of micro-warriors, his muscles tensing more into his flex as he asserted his anger to his people. He was the most brutalistic of Emperor Ticoga's Armored Squadron, and by the planets above he intended to show these Mazoku just that. He pushed back into his mind Ticoga and Verst's orders themselves, choosing that the Saiyans would need more Arcosian assistance with their direct assault. While he was biased towards this choice, Ginko understood that it was best to appeal to their allies when he knew his Emperor would single-handedly handle the interlopers.

"MOGINAIANS" The hulking draconic monster would scream out in a shrill, his hordes of yellow blob monsters following him. "WE TAKE CASTLE. RIP IT BRICK BY BRICK. I WANT ENTIRE BUILDING IN SHIP BY END OF DAY." As he would give the order, an echoed cheer from his hammer and axe wielding psychopaths would become nigh deafening as they flooded towards the castle in a beautiful primal violence. As his people would make it to the castle, they'd quite literally begin to use their primitive tools to hack away at the stonework of the castle, climbing over one another to scale the walls with their squishy alien bodies. "IT OURS NOW. CASTLE BELONG TO EMPEROR, TO MOGINA, HONOR TO EMPEROR TICOGA!" He would influence, Ginko's own body crouching and jumping high into the air above the castle itself, his body entering the middle troposphere of the planet before plummeting his body down into the top stone works towards the building's throne room itself like a comet. Lava poured around his body from his open mouth, the spewing hot liquid rock falling down with him, turning him into a metaphorical and literal meteor. With any luck, he'd meet up with the Queen of the Saiyans and be able to assist her in whatever she needed. They were his allies, the empire's allies, and Ginko would not allow anything to happen to his Emperor's friends.

"KILL ALL WHO STOP YOU" The gigantic fire breathing lizard alien would demand of his people as his heavy body fell back to the planet from his stratospheric jump. "NAMEK OWE MOGINA FOR BASTARD WARRIOR CLAN.".

Yangcong had briefly got up from his throne chair and proceeded to walk over to the entrance of the cave. As he did that, he had his arms to his side as he could feel Tulse' ki signature headed towards him. He could also sense Yakito's ki signature as well. Yangcong would pull out a special medical box and opening it as it rested on his hand. Looking at a device that could easily be mistaken for a pen. He began to click the button of the device and spoke into it. He would give the agent Yakito specific instructions.

[ "I have someone coming towards my location that is being a nuisance. I want you to stop their advancement. There name is Tulse, a saiyan woman. Located in coordinates 9.5.12" ]

The agent serum inside of Yakito's body, began to open inside them. Appearing to look like an ordinary pill, but in reality it was a toxin that could control and manipulate a person's mind. Far better than what he had used prior on Zuqetta. As that was over and done with, he tossed the pen device away and could feel an attack coming towards him. A slight smirk had appeared on his face as he stared at the attack coming right for him. Yangcong had now opened up a capsule and inside that capsule for a 10ft and 2 ton Shokun locked in a cage. He had opened the cage and stared at the beast.



"I expected better soldiers from the Arcosian Empire. Looks like he lacks the funding. I want you to go out there and kill one of those armored soldiers for me."

The shokun nodded and proceed to rush towards the first armored arcosian warrior he could fine and Terra was the lucky member! The shokun taking a leap and attempting to bite down and pin down Terra with all of his force and weight. These shokun were so powerful that being caught by them was a death sentence. After that attack was finish, the shokun began to sense a device being emitted from inside their body. Before they could react, their entire body would explode right next to Terra!


Yangcong proceeded to walk away from the entrance and back into the cave. The barrier that was protecting the entire cave from incoming attacks had now activated when signs of an attack was coming towards him. The attack had been consumed by the barrier entirely. Yangcong went over to eat some of the cake he had left on the table, he had a taste of it before setting the fork down.

"Strawberries and chocolate. Pretty tasty. A delightful treat I must say."

Yangcong walking back to the throne chair and taking a seat as he was enjoying a glass of whisky to go along with the cake.

Tambo waited a little, but Nero didn’t join the meeting. Immediately, Tambo knew he had acted on his gut feeling of a possible attack on Arcose and left to settle matters himself. It was not the outcome Tambo had hoped for, but it was too late to feel any type of way about it. For now, he was the only one here to act as a representative of the normal Namekian population. Most people here were strangers to him, but he’d hold his ground firmly.

Ticoga spoke, making his objectives clear once again and Tambo nodded. “Lord Guru told me as much, but I am glad I get to hear these words from your own mouth. So are the people of Namek. I wonder about the necessity of such a display of military might for these few individuals, but the politics of other worlds eludes me. Think of it as nothing more than the musings of an old man.”

He closed his eyes, before continuing a little.

“Lord Guru sensed the possibility of an attack on your homeworld, I assume he acted on that feeling and hurriedly flew there. In his absence or that of any other Namekian leader, I shall act as his representative.”

Tambo glanced over the young Saiyan woman, Gira, whom he had never met before. Was she an accomplice of Marimba and the others? Just what had happened in that short period of time. Most notably, the mention of Yangcong surprised the elder Namekian who recognized him. He clenched his fist, squeezing it before taking a deep breath and releasing it.

“That man sought my help years ago, hoping for us to join his people in attacking the Saiyans and help them reclaim their land. I refused back then, but to think he would repeat the same thing with the Mazoku…and succeed. Deplorable.”

Though he wanted to see his people flourish, it couldn’t be at the expense of other people. It truly saddened him that the Mazoku would go to such lengths, especially when they knew more than anyone the horrors of persecution. And for what? No, Tambo knew their punishment was deserved.

As the white-haired woman appeared, Tambo’s eyes narrowed. She appeared out of the blue, making assumptions concerning the Saiyan woman. Was she lying or had she been played a fool? No matter the reason, it appeared to have a profound impact on her as she launched herself to attack the Arcosian Emperor. In reaction, Tambo dropped his weapon, powering himself up.

“STOP IT YOU IDIOT!”

He stretched his arms, one trying to wrap around Gira’s neck and the other on the swinging arm, trying to pull her back from attacking Ticoga.

    The chaos quickly unfurling around the normally steadier minded Saiyan did nothing to help him gather his presently still scattered thoughts. Dion's mind a flutter as it appeared as though several different plot lines were all unraveling in simultaneous unison. He had barely made it onto the battlefield when his senses were bombarded by both conversation and collective cacophony from the forces all coalescing in this one, heavily populated area. And yet, even now, Dion still had no clue why any of them were there in the first place. One thing was for sure, it didn't look as though they were here for the planet itself at least.

    However, if not for the planet, then what was all this commotion focused toward? 

    It seemed as though he was bound to get his answer sooner rather than later, as amidst the cacophony of chaos that carried on all around the stumbling, wayward warrior, a singular name called out to him with a familiar, piercing pang. 

    '... Yangcong?'

    The exasperated Saiyan's gaze narrowed in equal parts confusion and vexation. Not only had Yangcong somehow managed to survive his underground laboratory's imminent explosion, but he had also somehow managed to sneak his way onto his home territory without his noticing. How long has he been able to simmer underneath the peaceful planet's sun without so much as a second thought? What evil machinations has he been able to bloom into fruition because of his own ignorant negligence? 

    The thought of it shook Dion to his very core. Fists clenching with an all too familiar fury, the young man's azure aura exploded around him in an awesome wreath of crystalline-like Ki. Scaring some of the invading forces around him before he exploded off into the skies above, following everyone else's lead and beelining it directly to the entrance of the villain's hideout proper. 

    Zuqetta could take care of herself- unlike the last time the two had met, Dion had gotten a chance to sense her true strength in its entirety now. With that kind of power under her belt, Dion doubted anyone could hold a candle to her in battle seriously, and so he felt at least partially okay with leaving her to her own devices for the time being while he sorted out the remaining elephant in the room.

    As he blitzed across the sky like a burning blue comet, Dion got a chance to survey the rest of the more noteworthy fighters currently present. While most of them appeared to be of equal standing with him, if not stronger, there were still a few stragglers here and there that could potentially use a bit of backup, most notable of the lot being-

    "... Tulse?!"

    Admittedly, all things considered, he shouldn't have been that surprised to see her. What with her odd, yet intriguingly symbiotic relationship with the queen motivating her to do the most outrageous of things. It was who found themselves within the company of the Saiyan woman that now drew most of the young man's attention.

    Hopping onto the ground just before the main foyer of the cave itself, Dion immediately reached out to begin interrogating her, before she blasted off into the further depths of the cave in search of their shared quarry. 

    "Things can never be just that easy, can they?" grumbled the young man as he shifted his attention to the two other fighters Tulse had left in her wake. Both of them appearing to be oddly human. Just how diverse of a fighting force had Zuqetta gathered up in wake of this ambivalent set of circumstances? At the very least he could appreciate the earnestness that the young queen had treated this situation with. 

    He was just about to begin questioning the more able-bodied of the two individuals when all the sudden, a loud, heavy thumping began to echo throughout the cave's inner walls. Eyes widening, Dion's gaze shifted over to his right, just in time to catch the movement of a gigantic looking beast charging down some random member of the currently entering military force. 

    It was like time began to slow in that very instant. Dion watching as the bio-engineered behemoth closed the distance between itself and the unsuspecting Heran woman in mere seconds.

    In that instance, in that very moment, it was as though Dion's body began to move on its own. Instinct taking the wheel as every fiber of his being forced itself into motion. His deep blue aura leaving a trail of fiery Ki behind him as he leapt between Terra and the savage Shokun. The Saiyan taking the brunt of the initial impact in its entirety- the Shokun biting down into Dion's pre-existing side injury with ferocious abandon and reopening the hole that Kabe originally put directly into his lower abdomen.

    Immediately, his cries began to fill the cave- only for a singular, incessant beeping to begin to fill the cave immediately afterward. Eyes widening, Dion turned to look at the gathered company currently present, wrapping his arms around the Shokun in a last-ditch effort of attempted defensive maneuver as he yelled out in a hysteric tone, "GET AWAY, NOW!"

    Soon after, the Shokun would explode within Dion's tightened grip. His body barely being able to sustain the blow even at full power as the energy of the ignition swept across the entire cave. The detonation itself sending the bartender colliding into the rock behind him with a violent shudder.

    Smoke beginning to rise off of the tender warrior's wounded body, Dion could barely breathe- the air having been beaten straight out of his lungs. His vision nearly blackening as his consciousness threatened to give out mere moments into his first taste of combat. Fighting to stay awake, Dion's shaky, trembling breathing filled the cold cave air. The battered bartender shoving himself upright against the cave wall, leaning up against it and tearing off the remaining shreds of clothing that hung off his haggard frame.

    His strained eyes then scanned over the remaining denizens of the entrance to the cave, hoping to ensure that at least most of them were kept safe from the bulk of the blast. Their faces of shock and worry practically forcing Dion to take the initiative.

    "... Well?"

    Even with the stakes at hand, and a reopened wound sending shoots of pain all throughout his upper half, Dion's determined gaze shone through. His eyes seemingly electrified with radiant blue Ki as he stared upon the present company with an expectant expression.

    "What're you all waiting for? I know who you came for. You're not gonna let him go that easily, right?!"

    Forcing himself onto his feet, Dion immediately began to limp in the direction that Tulse went. His mind recalling all the other people whose lives have already been torn asunder by the actions of the wicked warrior that stood barely a cave's length away. How many more lives had to be meddled with like playthings until men like Yangcong were finally stopped? How much more suffering had to be inflicted before something, or someone, had to give?

    Dion's limp slowly began to increase in speed, transforming into a sprint as he began to focus in on the sight of Tulse and Yangcong appearing in his blurred vision at the end of the mouth of the cave. Sure, maybe this wasn't his battle to fight, and perhaps it was better off in someone else's hands, but it was just that philosophy that had kept Dion from taking action before- and it wasn't about to be why he stood by on the sidelines again here.
    
    This wasn't just about Yangcong anymore. Or the rest of the threats like Salvo or Lottus that waited in the wings even after the mad scientist was meant to fall. No, more than that- this was for everything that Dion stood for. To show that no matter what laid in his path, and whoever else was traveling on it, he'd keep crawling, fighting, and screaming toward a better future.

    Amara, Zhalla, Nero, Jackie, Kronos- all of them. 

    They all fought for that same tomorrow.

    And now it was Dion's turn to help pave the way. 

    As the visual of Tulse and Yangcong began to overtake the entirety of Dion's vision, the young man grinned- his Saiyan blood boiling as he began to join Tulse in her assault. Fist reeled back as he yelled out in a loud enough voice for practically the entire planet to hear as he leapt into action right next to the rogue Saiyan soldier,

    "Break me as much as you like- with whatever's left, I'll build a path toward our BETTER TOMORROW!"

Zuqetta raced, the destruction around her muffled by her focus; with none stopping her, she'd be in the castle and upon Lottus within moments. His energy was easy to sense, his malice palpable as it permeated the air. Walls and doors stood no chance as she bee lined it through everything in her path before arriving in the throne room of the castle, coming to a sudden stop upon the floor, gasping to catch her breath after her rush. She would look up, her cousin in plain sight; her expression would soften, a smile coming to her face as she gave a long sigh of relief.

"Lottus!" She'd exclaim, rushing up to his statue self; if it was anything like Tulse, then he could certainly hear her, "Cousin, I'm here! Just like I told you-!" she'd say excitedly, a small scowl coming to her face as she saw the jester hat and crude markings upon him, "Damn Mazoku..." she'd quickly knock off the hat, before looking over his form; the ice around him was severely cracked, but unlike Tulse he didn't come across nearly as fragile. In fact, it seemed like he would break free himself at any moment with the right push, but releasing him here on Namek wasn't an option considering the malice she felt from him.

She'd take another breath, calming herself before looking up towards her cousin with a smile, "I told you in the bar, between killing someone or saving someone, I'll always choose saving." she'd remind him, giving a rather bright smile, "Now let's get-"

Before she could say another word, she would hear it through her scouter; of all people, it was Patchy's voice! What was he doing here!? Didn't he know how dangerous it was here!?! Did the literal armada not tell him that this place was dangerous!? She listened, it seemed like he was attempting to intercept Tulse; from what she could hear over the open channel however, it very quickly failed, and... Yakito was there too? Something was happening to him!?! Were the Mazoku forces finally putting up a defensive against them, if so, then why weren't any of her forces relaying as much?

She had no time to think when a sudden crash from above would rock the entirety of the castle. Zuqetta turned about, materializing a sword at the ready; to her surprise however, what would rise up from the new crater in the room would be some lava spewing beast... but she recognized the energy, it was one of the many who'd arrived alongside Ticoga's forces. Zuqetta's eyes were wide, it was a hell of an impressive site; just where exactly had this guy fallen from? If the situation wasn't so dire, she might have even engaged, but a direct communication from her forces would disrupt the moment.

"Commander!" a soldiers voice would shout through her scouter, causing Zuqetta to wince a bit as she was snapped back to the situation, "Intercept failed! Tulse will be upon Yangcong's location at any moment!"

"Damnit!" Zuqetta would curse through gritted teeth, "She's gonna get herself..." she was panicked, she couldn't just let Tulse die; but she couldn't leave Lottus here either. She knew Ticoga sought to destroy the castle, if she couldn't get Lottus out, then it was only a matter of time... but...

Her attention turned towards Ginko, he looked plenty strong and literally towered over she and her cousin both. Trusting things to others... it was a difficult choice, but she'd already chosen to do so by leaving Plant's safety to Vocado, Calot and Gira, surely she could do it again. She'd rush over towards Ginko, careful to avoid the lava that spewed and dripped from his maw.

"Hey you!" she'd exclaim, her tone a bit harsh due to her panic, but she would quickly clear her throat to speak more calmly, "I don't know your name, but no time for introductions-" she'd remark, turning to point at the statue of Lottus, "-that man there, that's my cousin! He's the reason I'm even here-" she'd remark, before turning to look back at Ginko with a desperate plea in her eyes, "-if you're part of Ticoga's forces then you're an ally, I can trust you. Please, can you take him from the castle?" she'd ask, flying up to meet the ten foot creatures gaze with a strong expression, "I NEED you to do this, please! I'm needed elsewhere, I can't be everywhere at once! You're big and strong, just take him from the castle and my forces will find you."

She wished she could say more, explain things properly, but time wasn't on her side. She had to trust the creature, she had no choice; she would rush back to Lottus, giving a swift breath before looking up towards him. "I need to go, my friend is in danger." she'd say, hoping Lottus wouldn't think poorly of her; she push forward, giving his torso a hug, he couldn't resist even if he wanted. Stepping back, she'd point back towards Ginko, "He's an ally, if you break out, please don't kill him!" she'd tell the statue, looking back up towards him one final time, "Stay safe, please!" she'd say, hovering up to look back towards Ginko, "And you, I don't want a single hair outta place, got it?"

With that, she'd blast off and out through the roof of the castle; there was no hesitation in her actions, she hadn't the time for such things. Not having the time to even comment on the weird pose Lottus had taken while frozen was proof of how dire things were already, but trusting others was another thing entirely. Unfortunately for Zuqetta however, her departure would mark the arrival of a complete mystery, a potential threat to Lottus, but Zuqetta had no way of knowing.

She'd clicked her scouter, moving the the air at break neck speeds; Tulse's position was upon the coordinates she'd been given, she was with Yangcong. Her mind and heart raced; she remembered, Captain Celery should be there as well, perhaps Tulse would be fine! Regardless, she wanted to be there herself to ensure it; she was about to speak, about to send and order off to Tulse and Captain Celary both, but once more she would be stopped-

An orbital strike was coming down upon Yangcong's location, something further to panic about; but she heard a cry from a familiar voice, her peripherals catching the sight just in time of Gira lunging forward at Ticoga. Time slowed as Zuqetta cursed the situation, just where the hell was she supposed to go!? Ticoga could take care of himself, he didn't need her, Tulse needed her, Lottus needed her, but...

"DAMNIT!!"

In a golden flash, a pressure of wind would burst from the area between Gira and Ticoga; a hand was raised, a grip upon the fist that sought to strike Ticoga. An audible crack could be heard as Zuqetta's wrist bent back; she woudl wince as a painshot through her arm, she was wholly unprepared but she wouldn't let the pain overtake her.

"TICOGA! My cousin is still in the castle and so are your soldiers!!" she'd shout rather quickly, hoping this would delay Ticoga from attacking the castle just yet, "Yangcong! Yangcong is out there and my stupid soldiers are attacking him! Please leave this to me and go after him!!"

She pushed back against Gira; she could understand Gira's confusion and rage, she'd experienced much the same herself. Could she talk her down? she didn't know, but she had to try; Tulse had Captain Celary, she'd be fine and... wait, she'd sensed Dion earlier. She didn't know why her brother was here, but she'd sensed him! Could he help? It was worth a try; as she pushed back against Gira, seeking to remove her from Ticoga, she would sense for Dion's energy, sending a frantic telepathic message to him in a hasty manner.

[Dion!! Dion if you can hear me, an idiot friend of mine is attacking a man named Yangcong! I can sense you, you're near her! Her name is Tulse, please, PLEASE protect her! I have soldiers in the area that can help you, just get her out of there!]

Zuqetta would be unaware that as she spoke, Tulse and Dion were under attack by another; her senses dropped, focused now entirely on Gira. She needed to focus, she needed to trust those around her; Tulse would be fine, she was sure of it. If Captain Celary couldn't protect her, Dion would surely keep her safe! Lottus as well, with Ginko he should be fine; Ticoga wouldn't allow incapable or bloodthirsty soldiers, surely. If they were Armored Squadron, then they had to be upstanding in some regard; if she could have contacted Yakito as well she would have, but from what she heard over Patchworks open channel, the fox was dealing with an issue of his own.

"C'mon, you need ta cool your head!" Zuqetta would shout at Gira, de-materializing her sword and pulling and placing her free hand on Gira's shoulder. Energy would envelop her as she began to push back against Gira, attempting to push her out towards the distance away from the scarred Mazoku lands.

As Verst flew through the energy barrier and the freshly punctured stone, he heard the faint glimpse of a shout from Terra. A call for warning against Yangcong. But she didn’t know how strong Verst was, they had only met after his excursion to Konats. Yangcong the interplanetary criminal wouldn’t escape today unscathed. “My Emperor bids you dead, and dead you shall be delivered. For your crimes against the Galaxy, you are sentenced to death.” The Arcosian spoke sternly.

After entering the cave, he saw a tremendous beast run out, clearly under the instruction of the criminal. Verst began to charge his blaster before the beast escaped the cave, a distant explosion was heard, and he could only hope it hadn’t harmed its intended target. However, now that he had a moment, he surveyed the room, it was quiet in here. The criminal sat on a throne, in a dark cave, eating cake. It was a bizarre sight, then from the cave entrance came a saiyan flying in fist first, they definitely weren’t a super saiyan. They looked like they were barely old enough to have finished their schooling, let alone fight on the frontline. Next came another young man, declaring his will to be broken and reforged. A puzzling combination.

Lastly, another humanoid joined the fray through a dark portal, swinging her sword to and fro between the engaged combatants. The shout from his commander echoed around the chamber as the portal shut. Verst jumped in the way of the sword slashes headed towards the young woman. Trusting his armour a bit too much as some of the slashes found purchase on his flesh, but none left more than a small cut.

He found himself lying on the floor after his leap, the cave was now populated thoroughly, the two saiyans, the criminal, the portal lady and now Verst's Emperor walked in aiming a blast at Yangcong. It was all-out war, this cave wasn’t going to last long.

He stood and moved next to his Emperor, staring down the sword-wielding foe. “What is your next order Imperator?” He asked quietly. Assessing himself, his armour was practically useless now, as it half hung off him, he took his hand across his chest and threw down the rest of it.

Battle Armour used! 20% = 80000 vs 149175 = 69175 (nice) = 17%
TLDR: Verst arrives and sees Yangcong sending out his beast, sees Tulse and Dion wailing on Yangcong, spots Tsuya and blocks her attacks on Tulse, Stands next to Ticoga and sheds his armour.
