Y'know, if you can't find yourself a job out here, you might as well improvise, right? She's been running this crime spree for a good while, robbing others for their belongings and breaking into jewelry stores. This was quite the easy life for her, mainly because she targetted the weak. She really didn't care if it was cheap to bully others for cash, considering her old lifestyle used to be like... It's a big surprise that a person like Kohlra even managed to have a child before. Hell, it's a big surprise that he's gonna be living with her for a bit. How would Mar and her son react if she... nevermind.
Currently Kohlra was walking around an alleyway, a cigarette lit in her mouth as she looked around for potential victims. Usually people come through these alleyways as a shortcut after work, and today is usually the day where it was payday. The Saiyan would go ahead and lean up against a nearby wall as she waited, hiding beside a dumpster just so she could surprise anyone walking by. Ten minutes would pass before she could hear footsteps approaching her, slowly raising her head as she took the cigarette out. The footsteps got closer and closer until finally she would step out in front of a stranger.
The man was wearing a business suit of sorts and appeared to look all pampered up. He would stop in his tracks whenever she got in front of him, "Yes, miss? I must be on my way, so if you can-" Immediately the Saiyan would cut them off, holding her hand out and letting out a click, "C'mon now, you gotta pay the toll."
"Pardon...?"
5 minutes later...
Kohlra would now be walking out from the alleyway, looking at the roll of money she had in her hands and grinning. She definitely hit the motherload on this once, believing that she might have some spending money left over after she goes and buy food for her brat. Hell, she never had this much zeni just from one person before, so today seemed pretty great so far. Just gotta go to the store and boom, she'll be done for today.
If you're wondering about the man, however, he was passed out near the dumpster. He had one bruise on his face, so it obviously meant she just knocked him out with one punch. Again, exploiting the weak...

From a rooftop above, Shivra watched over the area quietly, not to try and hide but simply wanting to listen to the city. It didn't take long before a fly came along and walk right into the spider's web. The Arcosian couldn't help but let a smirk fall over his face as he watched them comfortably leaning against a wall with a smoke, but the problem was the longer they stood there the more time it gave him to recognize just who they were. There weren't many around town that did what this one did, and once she finally spoke up, there was no doubt in his mind who she was.
Taking a step off the roof, he began to free fall for a moment, but stopped half way down as someone walked up he hadn't seen before he moved. Perhaps letting her dig this shallow grave a bit deeper was a better idea than simply going after someone from nothing more than the sound of their voice. It didn't take long before she was leaving the alley, and thankfully neither of them had noticed him floating above them, but the man that had walked up wasn't likely to given he was currently unconscious. It was time to end this game and make his presence known, because after all, the spider had to come down from the top of the web to catch the fly at some point.
Free falling once more, and landed himself directly in front of the Saiyan in the path she was walking. "I think that's enough of that." Crossing his arms and looking at her with his cocky smile. "You are starting to make some noise and cause some issues I don't much appreciate. I think it's time you paid the toll instead."

The Saiyan didn't suspect anyone of watching her the entire time, so she was quite unaware of the arcosian. She believed that nobody really noticed her when she did these sorts of things in alleyways, considering how few people even pay attention to them. Obviously she took advantage of this fact and used the alleyways as her way of earning money, which was surprisingly easy considering how weak most of the people here were in the city. In her mind, if you're weak, you might as well just be considered food to those higher at the foodchain; Kohlra being one of the ones on top obviously.
Though that would change soon, however, for as she made her way out for the alleyway, a weird-looking man would suddenly get in the way of her. Kohlra would stop looking at her money for a moment to look up at the mysterious figure, a small growl escaping her. Who dared get in her way? This was HER street after all, so she might need to give this purple man a lesson. Once Shivra spoke though, he would gain the entirety of her attention... by giving him a sort of death stare. It's obvious that she wasn't pleased with what he had to say, as evidence from the saiyan baring her teeth. "You're askin' for trouble, buddy. I recommend you move your weird-looking self out of my way, or you're gonna be on the ground in the next couple of seconds." She would threaten the mysterious man.
But once he told her that it was her turn to pay the toll, her eyes would grow wide. "So now I have a stalker, huh? You shouldn't be watching a woman like some sort of creep, you know... Maybe I need to teach you a lesson?" Soon enough she would stuff her blue jean pockets with the money she earned, cracking her knuckles. "Maybe ya should go home or somethin'. I have a kid waitin' and... well, I don't feel like coming back home with some bloody knuckles."

He couldn't help but give an audible chuckle her her growl as he looked her over for a moment and shook his head. The grin on his face spread till he was showing his teeth, as her annoyance was equally spread across hers. "Look at you getting so upset. You look like some feral animal. Though I suppose that's the case for most Saiyans these days. Come to Earth looking for help, and half of you are no better than what was chasing you here." He gave a bit of a growl of his own as he brow furrowed, keeping eye contact. "I AM the trouble. You are in my city making it worse, and that really pisses me off.", the smile completely gone from his face now, although it began to creep up on just one side of his face as she threatened him. "Oh please, please threaten me again. Here I was just planning on scaring you a bit, but you might actually make this fun." Just as quickly as he had gotten serious, he was looking excitedly happy and couldn't manage to contain his smile for a second time. It was funny when they ran scared, but it was fun when they fought back. As she started to crack her knuckles, that was all the sign he needed, letting her get out the word "knuckles" as he swung, aiming his fist into her gut.

Whenever the mysterious man chuckled, she would become even more annoyed. Her threats weren't a laughing matter, so it's possible that she needed to show him who's boss if he continued. "You're REALLY pissing me off right now. I have a kid waiting at home and some purple freak shouldn't be stoppin' me." She would say, taking a step forward. "And 'bout that lil' comment of yours, I have no clue what you're talking about. But I'm still mad about it either way." Kohlra continued, obviously not really knowing too much about the saiyan history or even knowing that Earth wasn't even their homeworld.
"And YOU'RE the trouble? Pssh, you look like one of the McBao's mascots..." The saiyan would snicker, shaking her head. "And you scare me off? You're talkin' to the infamous 'Street Devil' here... anyways, how about you go away before it gets blood-" Whenever the arcosian went in for the punch, she would immediately avoid it with a sidestep. The saiyan would then grip onto the man's wrist, looking at him in the eyes with a big smirk. "Alright. I see how it is... anyways, I can just... break your wrist right now... but I don't feel like it."
Slowly she would let go of his arm, taking a step back and grinning. "How about we settle this over a talk or somethin'? I would be happy to kick your ass, but again, not in the mood nor do I have the time." Kohlra would say, smirking afterwards. "You're the first person to actually try and punch me, by the way. But anyways, I gotta go to the store to do some grocery shopping. So if you don't mind..." The middle-aged woman would try to walk past the arcosian, and if she was successful, she would ask, "You can tag along if you want. Just don't try to punch me again and maybe we'll be fine."

Impressed, though not entirely surprised when she moved out of the way, he simply stood staring at her, yanking his arm back as she let it go. Out of no where, he burst out laughing and taking a few steps back, wiping away what looked to be a tear before looking back to her. "You are too much, lady. Listen, I'm not interested in what you have waiting where, or how much I'm annoying you right now, let's make that clear right off the bat shall we? You just beat up some guy and took his money, and now you are standing in front of me with this attitude of yours and calling me a freak. I would suggest you change the tone and volume of your voice. I was planning to have some fun with you, but I just can't take you street thugs seriously. Infamous Street Devil, oh man, that was a good one." Giving a last slight chuckle, he wiped his face again and shook his head some.
"Look you want to talk, how about this; give me the money you took from that guy, don't come back to this area again, and if I see you doing this to people again I won't be so nice next time. Then you will say something about how I'm a freak, you are angry, how dare I, and blah blah beating me up." The smirk and smile once again left him as she tried to simply leave, putting up his hand to physically stop her. "You have as much time as I say you have. Maybe you should have worried about that before hand? I don't mind talking, but you aren't going to walk away from me."

Well, now she didn't like this person at all now. Whenever he started laughing, she would slowly grit her teeth as he began mocking her. She would knock this guy out instantly right about now, but for some reason she didn't want to. It's possible that she found him hilarious as well, or maybe she thought that it would be boring to just up and slug him in the face. She listening to every word he had to say though, even if they angered her. "I'd rather not change my tone. You're currently in the way, so I have the right to be EXTREMELY pissed. Plus what's your definition of 'fun'? I might be single, but you're really not my type, purple man." She would snicker, only for her to sigh after mentioning the 'Street Devil' name. "I was given it, so I sorta just rolled with the nickname. Eh, I might not look like much today, but whenever I was younger, I was the literal devil." The saiyan is pretty different whenever she had her youth still. She still remembered how easy it was for her to get angry... oh, those were some pretty good times.
Kohlra's eyes widened after hearing the man's offer, immediately shaking her head. "Hell no! I got bills to pay and a mouth to feed. There ain't nothing in this world for free, so I'm keepin' what I earn. Plus I bet you saw what the guy looked like, and you can most likely tell he's pretty rich so... yeah. He probably has a fridge stuffed with food or something." She would reply, letting out yet another growl whenever he prevented her from leaving. "How about I give back half of the money then? Will that make you stop harassing me? I just need enough to feed my kid..."

Shivra sighed, shaking his head heavily, "Look, I'm not sure you understand the situation you are in here. Feel free to be angry, but honestly I'm far past fed up with your type. Having strength and using it to get what you want, yeah I totally get that. Using it to rob people in an alley is just sad. Which is why my type of fun is stomping literal holes in your type." Scoffing at her and once again shaking his head, it was taking all he could muster not to transform and knock her out next to the poor guy still lying in the alley. "I find it hard to believe you were ever anything more than a loud mouth Saiyan with an attitude problem."
Purple energy started to swirl around his hands, then up to his elbows. "That you earned?! Are you delusional? I don't even...just...", his patience was wearing thin, and he had already given her more chances than he gave most. What more could he say to get the point across. "God dammit...", he wasn't heartless to the situation, despite how angry this and her continued to make him. The idiot did walk himself into a bad part of town with cash in his pocket. "You're kill'n me here, lady. Look I'm not heartless, but you can't expect me to just look the other way here", reaching up to rub his temples "I don't need the money from you, I got plenty of my own , just... come on" He was clearly torn here between wanting to knock her through the closest wall and tell her to go take the rest of the morons valuables for being dumb enough to even go this way.
"Look I had parents and I know how hard they had to work to keep me fed. I can't believe I'm about to do this, but screw it; keep the damn money. I might not like you or what you stand for doing this kind of crap, but I can't very well let some innocent kid starve to death because of the stupid choices his mom makes." He should have felt good here, but he felt dirty and he was still conflicted even after making the choice. What made her so different? Was he just getting soft?

The saiyan would listen to Shivra while he basically just gave her a lecture. She crossed her arms while she waited, giving him a not-so-polite look the entire time. "Why do you do it in the first place anyway? What's YOUR reasoning to stop people from doing this sort of thing, hmm? If it's anything involving 'justice', don't even say it." The Saiyan replied, not really caring with what else he had to say about her. She knew full-well that she had an attitude problem, so some purple guy shouldn't be telling her this to begin with!
But soon the arcosian would soon have purple energy forming around his body, which would mean one thing... He was pissed as well! Hell, if it wasn't obvious enough, he would start off by calling her delusional. Before she could return with a snarky comment however, it would seem that Shivra began calming down. With a raised brow, she would listen to what else the man had to say, albeit with a smirk. "Don't worry, I get your type. But hey, like I said before, ya gotta earn money somehow." She shrugged, "Ain't no rest for the wicked, as I used to say. I get you're tryin' to help the weak, but I wouldn't bother." After all, nobody bothered to help her whenever she was younger... so why bother helping others?
As he continued though, a small smile would form on her face after hearing that she could go away with the money. The rude stare she was giving him soon disappeared, "Thanks, I appreciate it. Hey, maybe we can talk somewhere later or something. Maybe talk over some drinks, with the money I earned myself, and forget this happened?" She would offer, a smirk soon forming on her face. "And maybe we can spar sometime too considering how bad ya wanted to punch me. If you're interested, go ahead and tell me now or I'll be on my way." It honestly feels good knowing that you won something, even if you had to annoy someone and spit threats at them.

"You really want to know why I do this? Because my grandfather fled planet Namek years before either of us were born to get away from the Saiyan Empire that seemed to want nothing more than to make the universe miserable for everyone but themselves. Before that he fled to Namek to get away from an Arcosian empire that really wasn't any better. Just a bunch of bullies using strength because they were too stupid to know any better and do any better. My parents father was born here and he and my mom died to the very type of people their parents brought them here to get away from. Am I bitter? You bet your ass I am, so that...that is why I do it. It has nothing to do with Justice, or the "right thing", I am just sick of people using strength for petty pointless crap." His face was flush and his fists clenched, not towards her, but just in general, having worked himself up far more than he had meant to, but she had opened a can of worms she had no idea about. "You don't have to be some goody goody, but damn, is this really the best you can do with strength like this? And believe me, you don't know my type. I'm not some hero swooping down to save some innocent guy. I don't care about him at the end of the day, but eventually one of him turns into one hundred of him." He was almost angry at himself for not being able to control himself, but between getting frustrated and her comments inadvertently touching a nerve, he was letting his emotions get the best of him. "Look, I may not like you right now, but you aren't nearly as dumb as I had assumed, for what it is worth." Giving a heavy sigh, he fully stepped aside, his demeanor completely changing from the brash, loud-mouthed Arcosian who landed in front of her. "I wouldn't mind taking you up on that spar, I could blow of some steam but, how about we find another time. You got a kid to get home to, right?"
ooc: Not exiting thread, just thought we could transition this into a different day that they come back and spar

As the arcosian went on ahead and explained his past, she would actually listen to him. She nodded slowly as he continued, beginning to feel some sympathy for this person, even if she didn't know what he talked about. What was 'Namek'? All she could recognize was the mentioning of the 'Saiyan Empire', remembering the time whenever her parents would mention them. They wouldn't exactly explain who they were to her although, since if she asked a question, she would only be told that "she isn't a saiyan yet" or something like that. Her parents were pretty harsh towards her, but obviously Shivra didn't know that.
Whenever the purple man was finished, she would give him a couple more nods before replying, "I understand you, but there are people that do this to survive, y'know? These 'street thugs' you seem to hate could just be families trying to survive, you know." She would shrug. Kohlra used to be a beggar once, but once realizing that begging for money didn't work, she had to start taking it by force. During that time of her life, it was survival for the fittest.
"You might not like how I'm using my strength, but trust me when I say that I'm doing this to survive. All this money in my hands right now is going towards food and bills, so I'm not doing this just 'cause it's fun." She would reply to his question with a shrug, "Plus I don't kill people either. How about you go for murderers or something instead, Mr. Vigilant?" Kohlra would slowly walk past the arcosian, her tail brushing by his face. "But thanks for letting me go. I live in Bao Heights, Room 34. Go give it a knock whenever you're ready." Kohlra said, raising a hand up and waving it once. "See ya later. I got some grocery shopping to do."
Thread Exit. Part 2 coming up soon.
