It'd been a little over a month since Arcus made his way into the North Galaxy. Only recently having arrived on Earth, He decided to investigate into the matter of Saiyans and WTF duking it out on this small planet- Not knowing that the conflict had long been resolved. Of course, he only had one "holo-log" to go off of for this information, and it was recorded 10 months ago. He guessed that the chances they were still there were probably slim, but he also figured- "Eh, what the hell. . . 10 months ain't dat long" Using a captured pod, Arcus would make his way around the planet, flying aimlessly. Eventually, he'd touch down in one of the more northern parts after contemplating whether or not he should just crash into one of the big cities and cause some major damage. ". . . I'll save da fun for latah" Arcus mumbled, his pod driving itself into the snowy ground. "Wat a dump" He'd announce, glancing around at his surroundings as he slowly rose out of the snowy hole his pod created. Near this hole, was a village filled with startled people, who out of curiosity surged forth from their dwellings to observe the smoke, originating from Arcus's crash site. Arcus trudged his way through the snow towards them, his tail wagging slowly from side to side. Suddenly, he'd yell out, a devilish grin on his face- "AYE, WHAT ARE YOU LAZY FOCKS LOOKIN AT UH? DER SUMTHIN FUNNY ON MY FACE?? WHAT!" The villagers murmured among themselves, moving restlessly as Arcus approached. "Now dats just rude; Tawkin to each other but nat to me?" He'd comment, stopping dead in his tracks, the villagers hushing themselves as an ominous wind blew through the area. They stood silently, staring at each other. Suddenly, Arcus would disappear. The villagers looked around confusingly when a scream erupted from the back of the group. Everyone turned immediately, only to be granted by a horrendous sight. Gripped in Arcus's hand, was the arm of a man. Its owner was sprawled on the snow, his yells muffled by the snow- He desperately grabbed at the arm which was no longer there. People surged forth to try and help the man, but Arcus held up his free hand, a small shockwave knocking back any who approached. "Youse guys need ta learn some respect!" Arcus chuckled, now lifting up the injured man, his screams now clearly heard. Without warning, he'd throw both the arm and man high up into the air, before letting out a yell of his own. BOOMAll that remained of the man was a column of dust, which quickly fell and dispersed into the wind. "Right. So now youse punks know what'll happen if ya don't talk to me. . . Alright- so foist off. . . Any of youse know what happened to those Saiyans dat showed up here a while back?" Arcus asked. The villagers were paralyzed with fear, unable to respond after what had just happened. Arcus noticed this, letting out a slight chuckle- "All right, all right. . . If ya really need a bettah incentive. . ." He started, teleporting behind a nearby child. "I'm more than happy to provide!" Yelled Arcus, tossing the child up into the air and reeling back his arm for another attack.
Karon oh noooo, willll anyone save theeeem?

Karon's PL: 4,000
It had been several days, and Karon was no closer to finding the mysterious tundra ghost than when he arrived here in the north. He'd asked around for information but had only got vague, often conflicting, local legends. So he'd gone out into the snow with only barest inkling of how to find her, and had returned empty-handed and half frozen. The people of Jingle Village had been kind to him, given him warm food and shelter and helped him out. He spent a good long while convincing an old woman that, no, he wasn't blue from frostbite, that was just how his face looked. She'd stopped fussing over him, but she still gave him worried, matronly stares every time they happened to pass by. All in all, he was becoming fond of the people of Jingle Village, even if they were all crazy to willingly live somewhere so damned cold.
He was inside, wrapped up in a big blanket and eating a bowl of noodle soup when he heard a loud explosion from outside. What was it this time? It was only a few days ago that a group of aliens had shown up on the outskirts and caused chaos. What was it about this sleepy town that attracted trouble? Karon grumbled, put his shoes on, and headed out to investigate, blanket still wrapped around him.
Another explosion sounded, and then someone screamed, and Karon's lazy walk turned into a full on run. When he rounded the corner he found a frightened crowd gathered and a wild-haired, tailed man (What was that race called? Saiya-something?) about to beat the crap out of some helpless child. The poor kid was tossed into the air, and his assailant winded up a punch. Before he could think about what he was doing, the blanket fell from Karon's shoulders as he dashed through the crowd. He brought up his arm to slam into the other man's neck, trying to clothesline him and knock him away from the child. He might've ended up taking that punch instead, but that was alright with him.
"The hell's all this about, huh? Kid insulted your hair or something?" He'd snap. Karon wasn't used to playing the hero but, well, here he was. Too late to back out now.

Arcus found himself letting down his guard, The villagers seemingly nothing but weak fodder. He figured he could kill a few of them before they'd start talking, so he decided he'd have a bit of fun with it. That all came crashing to a halt though, as, from the corner of his eye, a blue blur appeared. He managed to turn his head, facing Karon as he approached, before being struck by one heck of a punch. Arcus staggered back, quickly regaining his composure.
He looked this blue man up and down, rubbing the side of his neck as he did so. At first, he had a confused expression on his face, though it quickly morphed back into the sinister smile he'd held moments earlier- ". . . Now. . . dat wasn't very nice of ya" he started, his arm falling down to his side. He hadn't been hit that hard in a while, so Arcus was actually quite excited about this surprise encounter. Recalling his mission though, he put aside his bloodlust. Who knows, maybe this guy had the answers he wanted-
"Before I fockin pulverize ya, Im gonna ask you somethin. . . Cuz ya seem a bit more talkative dan deese pansies" He said, preemptively getting into a fighting stance- "Would you happen ta know bout where da saiyans are?. . . da ones who came here a few months ago afta getting der asses beat?" he'd ask, quickly remembering about the WTF- "Oh, and also those trade federation pansies. Da ones with da stupid blue porcupine logo"
Hopefully, Arcus would get the answer he was looking for. If not. . . he might end up destroying the entire village! (though he probably would've destroyed the village regardless). |

Aspara had been traveling further north, no longer did he have the wood he'd been carrying before having exchanged most of it for Zeni. He had just entered the village when he saw a saiyan with a powerlevel close to his own kill a man. Then he saw a blue-skinned man show up and elbowed him when the saiyan started beating up a child, the fact the saiyan was beating up a child AND had killed someone was enough to send Aspara into a semi-calm rage. So he steps past the villagers, taking off his hood, and reveals his armored form. He glared at Arcus. "You aren't in a position to be asking questions," he stated with a cold tone of voice, just hiding his intense rage right under the surface of it. "You are both outnumbered and outpowered."
He wasn't bluffing either as he could sense how powerful the blue horned man is as well, the fact its 2 on one is just icing on the cake. He glanced at Karon for a moment then back at Arcus, forming a battle stance. The civilians backed off. "Still want to try your luck?" His face was filled with a controlled rage that just seemed to be begging for Arcus to try. "Besides...you could've just checked where the world tournaments tend to be."

Karon hopped back a couple paces after his attack, just out of arm's reach of the man, and rolled his shoulder. That guy was pretty solid! Though Karon hadn't been expecting him to go down in one punch or anything, but he didn't even seem phased, he just kept smiling that creepy smile. The ogre slipped his hand into the inside of his jacket, where he kept his sword stashed in a magic pocket, and got ready to draw it for the inevitable counter-attack. But no counter-attack came. Instead, the guy had some questions for him. Karon peered at him as he tried to figure out what he was going on about.
"Saiyans...? Oh!" He snapped the fingers of his free hand as it hit him, "That's what you are! A Saiyan! I was pretty close. But uhh, I don't know where any others are. And I don't know about any 'Federation', either. I'm not exactly from around here, see?" He pointed up at the horn on his head.
He was so focused on the man in front of him that he didn't notice another approach through the crowd. This man seemed somewhat younger, and wore elaborate armor and a flowing cape. Karon frowned at him and tried to think for a moment. On Earth, winter had the holidays with decorated trees and colorful lights and gift-giving, right? The costume wearing and candy eating one was in autumn, wasn't it? So did that mean this guy dressed like this all the time? It seemed a bit much, in Karon's opinion. He had wild, dark hair, similar to the man he was fighting, but he seemed to be on Karon's side.
"Hey," Karon called over to him, "Are you this guy's cousin or something? Brother? He's being an asshole, whatever he is to you. I'm just trying to get him to, uh...stop, I guess." He finished with a shrug, clearly still confused over his own heroic actions.

As he awaited Karon's reply, a new fighter approached the two. He seemed to be another one of those "hero" types, blurting out some rather irritating stuff. "A Saiyan? . . . You must be wid dose kingdom pansies" he'd mutter, a vein popping out on his cheek as he listened to the guy speak. "Outpowered. . . HAH, you're a funny guy aren't ya. . . Actin like I can take you both on" he'd chuckle, crossing his arms as he spoke confidently.
"You north galaxy wusses sure are something . . ." Arcus exclaimed, before listening to Karon's reply. "Fuckin hell, you dont know nuthin then?" he sighed, turning his head to look at Aspara. "Ya better not say ya dont know nuthin either. . ." he warned, his tail swishing from side to side restlessly. "I'll use da two of ya's as punchin bags if ya do!" he explained, his gaze peering straight into Aspara. |

Aspara had to hide the grin that was itching to form on his face. He could so clearly sense Arcus' power. "Rather confident for one with such a lower power level, but wait..you can't even sense that can you" That was a statement rather than a question. Then he hard this guy using fighting words, and began to feel pumped up. With serious expression forming on his face he decided to reply to Karon. "He's no relative of mine. And I hold no affiliation with the Kingdom. Also, Welcome to Earth." His stance held firm and he was ready to counter any attack Arcus may try, a serious expression formed on his face as he turned his eyes towards Arcus once again. "Before we fight, shall we exchange names and fight outside the village?" He asked this as he wanted to know the name of this rather brutish Saiyan, if for no other reason than to find a nickname for him, ah screw it he already has a nickname for him.
But also because the people here needed a name to place on the face of the killer. "If not then I shall be calling you Scarface." he taunted in an attempt to make Arcus strike first. The fact he had a smirk on his face when he said this was only as yet more of a taunt. "I think that's fair yes?" he asked with the tone of insulting laced in. The reason why he suggested they take the fight outside the village is that he doesn't want any of the villagers to get hurt. Nevertheless, he feels that a well-placed punch could launch ol' scarface here outside the village regardless...but he'd rather not have to risk attempting that so early in a fight.

"North galaxy?" Karon echoed with a frown. He didn't bother to remember much about the mortal world, but he did know the 'Northern' galaxy was where Earth resided, and where they all were standing right now, "What's that supposed to mean? Where are you from?" He peered at the scar-faced man with renewed curiosity. Him and the other guy were of the same people, weren't they? Both Saiyans? They looked like it, anyway. Then why was this guy acting like he was from somewhere so far away? It didn't make much sense.
The kid in the armor was going on about some Kingdom, and trying to get the asshole guy to leave the village to fight. Karon rolled his eyes a bit. Cape-boy really fancied himself a chivalrous knight, didn't he? "You're afraid of hurting the bystanders, right?" Karon asked him, "I can take care of that. Hey!" he raised his voice to shout to the crowd gathered around them, and as he did, he reached into the pocket of his coat and pulled out his jian sword, "I'm gonna slice up the jerkass here! Everybody clear out, I might miss and cut you, too!"
That got several terrified gasps from the townsfolk, and soon the crowd was scattering in every direction. Their scared murmurings could still be heard on the adjacent streets, but the immediate vicinity was clear to fight in, at least. Karon didn't seem to care that he'd frightened everyone in Jingle Village, he just smirked, and settled down into a low fighting stance, "See? That wasn't so hard. So are we doing this or what?"

~this guy is such a douche. . .~
Arcus listened as Aspara cockily talked down to him, Twitching slightly as he went on and on about "powerlevels" and whatnot. He'd let out a sigh, calming himself down, before replying- "You, are a special kinda stupid" he'd chuckle, raising his gaze to meet Aspara's. "If ya think powah levels are da only thing dat mattahs in a fight. . . den you've got a helluvalot of learnin to do" he'd state, his tail swishing behind him as he unfurled his arms. His power would begin to surge, and his hand would reach into his armor, pulling out a controller of sorts. He'd press a button, causing his pod to begin to rocket towards the area (unbeknownst to the others) before putting the controller back into his suit.
"Doesn't seem like ya know anythin. . . But I guess I'll play around wif ya for a bit. . ." he resolved, ignoring Aspara's nickname and request to exchange names- before slowly walking forward, grinning wildly as he made his way to the two fighters.
"LETS ROCK!!!!!"
Arcus shoots forward, reeling his arm back as he attempts to knock Aspara back a bit, wanting to distance the two fighters so that he could deal with them separately. |

Aspara noticed that Karon had gotten the civilians to leave the area, which he is thankful for. He took notice of the device in Arcus' hand and narrowed his eyes at it, did this guy have a ship? He'd heard from his father that Saiyans who have personal pods tend to carry around a controller to call said pods to them, what was this guy planning? The moment Arcus yelled 'lets rock' Aspara lunged at Arcus at the same time, doing a similar movement and reeled his arm back and attempted the exact same thing, only his intention was to knock Arcus towards Karon so Karon could do an attack as well in combination. As it is this resulted in both their fists colliding creating a shockwave from the combined impact.
"Feel the Burn!" A serious look on his face as he attempted to unleash a jab Arcus's face, though he suspected he'd try to counter it, so his fist erupted into flames as he began to unleash his KP attack with the intent to knock him towards Karon and do some damage to try and wreck his concentration. if this works he'd then begin firing off a bunch of ki blasts from his feet into the ground, as mines keyed to go off when Arcus steps on their locations.
[N1]Ki-Flame Fist: Through proper Ki manipulation, you have gained the ability to supercharge your melee attacks with Ki and Flames, the appearance of the attack is of covering whatever he's using for the attacks with a burning flame. Mechanically this functions identically to a ranged technique. Deals 33% of your current PL in Damage. (Flavored version of Ki-infused melee attack)

Karon hopped from foot to foot and spun his sword around in his hand, once, as he watched the two Saiyans charge at each other in the now-empty street. 'Scarface' had used some sort of remote a second prior, but he wasn't too worried about that. The fight was much more interesting. The two fighters colliding created a shockwave with enough wind to blow his hair back a bit, even from where he was standing. Aspara's fist ignited in flame on his counter-attack, which raised Karon's eyebrows a bit. He was going that hard out the gate? Alright then.
If Arcus was sent flying towards him, Karon would simply hold his ground and attack when his opponent was close enough. But if he'd avoided it, Karon would dash up to meet him instead, showing off some pretty impressive speed for someone of his power. Either way, he'd slash towards Arcus' torso with his sword, not empowered with ki or anything like Aspara's attack had been, just a simple mundane sword strike. Afterwards he'd try to hop back, out of range of the both of them. He knew he wouldn't take the Saiyan down with one strike like that, he wasn't intending to. It was more to test the waters and get a read on his opponent. How would he counter attack?

Arcus's fist collided with Aspara's, a boom shaking the air around them violently. Arcus grinned, it seemed that the cocky warrior wasn't bluffing- The two were pretty dang close in power. Arcus was about to get ready for a followup attack, when his opponent's fist suddenly lit up. His grin widened- "Goin all out right from da start? Aint even gonna warm up-" he'd retort, before suddenly being blown back by Asparas blazing strike. "Oh!! BITCH! I WAS TALKIN TO YA!!!" he'd yell as he zoomed over towards Karon from the force of the blast, singeing slightly from the damage.
He'd let out a groan, his body beginning to twist and turn midair. He continued to travel straight at Karon, getting just out of his swords range before suddenly jutting to a stop midair. Arcus's crazy grin hadn't yet left his face. His jaw began to morph wildly, blazing green energy began rushing out of his throat, rocketing outwards and towards Karon. He'd hoped this might catch him by surprise, but regardless of if it had, he'd jutt his arms out. Earlier whilst twisting in the air, He'd noticed Aspara setting down his "mines"- he figured he should probably get rid of them before they became a problem.
"Hah HAH HAAAAAAA!!!!" his laugh slowly transformed into a yell, and a shockwave of kiai would rush out in all directions from where Arcus floated. The shockwave would trigger the mines, the ground exploding beneath their feet, causing snow and dirt to be thrown up everywhere. "Haaaaah. . ." he'd chuckle, a bit glad despite the odds. He hadn't had a proper fight in a looooong time. |

A grin slowly began to form on Aspara's face as he watched Arcus launching towards Karon. "who said I was going all out Scarface?" he muttered with a slight smirk on his face for just a moment before it turned serious again. His eyes narrowed as he saw him destroy his mines. So much for that plan, nevertheless. Honestly, if he was going all out, he would've put the flames ALL over his body. He saw him speeding towards Karon, and thus he formed a launching stance, observing the rubble from the mines exploding. How irritating of that Saiyan to destroy them, he was just trying to make things interesting for himself. Though he did find himself interested in that green energy, nevertheless, he launched after Arcus as he headed towards Karon after seeing the sword miss, he'd later after this fight come to realize he'd like a sword as well.
He would move fast enough to get right behind the feet of Arcus, in which he'd attempt to grab his feet with his hands, should he succeed he'd say "Why do you think I used fire?" he'd remark with a slight smirk on his face and then do a very fast spin in which he'd launch him into the sky, and then follow up with a series of ki blasts before jumping back ready for Arcus's next move. He had to admit that as this was his first serious fight since his parents left him, he was beginning to enjoy it ever so slightly, after those blasts he's going to refrain from using any more ki blast attacks for the time being and just attempt to punch him away from the village and into the mountains unless he really needs to use the blasts, as he'd like to have fun with this fight.

Arcus was sent flying by the force of Aspara's attack, straight towards Karon, and the ogre smirked. Perfect. He braced himself into a solid stance, dug his heels into the snow, and held his sword out, aiming for Arcus' momentum to just carry him onto the blade. Unfortunately, the scar-faced saiyan wasn't as disoriented by that blast as Karon would have liked, and he stopped himself midair before he could fall onto the ogre's waiting sword. His smirk turned down into a scowl as green ki erupted from Arcus' mouth, nearly the last place he expected an attack from, aimed right towards him. Now, Karon was generally a fast guy, pretty light on his feet. But he'd gotten himself into such a grounded stance, and Arcus was so close, that he had no hope of moving in time. All he could do was channel a little ki of his own into his sword and slice right down the middle of the beam as it came at him. He grit his teeth as the two halves of the blast roared past either side of him, and he was left standing there with smoldering sleeves, a bit crispier than he was a moment ago, but otherwise alright.
In the meantime, Aspara was trying to grab Arcus and chuck him up into the sky. An unorthodox move to be sure, but Karon gave the kid points for creativity. Instead of jumping into the fray like he had before, now he stood back, watched, and waited. These two were both wild fighters. If he was smart, and a little patient, he'd surely see some opening he could leap in and exploit.

Arcus let out a confident laugh as his beam was cut aside- erupting into flames as they hit the ground behind Karon. "Not bad for a buncha pansies" he'd laugh, relaxing a little as he watched the other two attempt to coordinate. They were totally out of synch; it was pretty obvious, though not entirely their faults. Most people can't just work together on the spot and expect to be in unison- they'd have many faults in their movements, Nor would they really be able to communicate their actions to each other- not without alerting Arcus to whatever they'd be planning.
"But... in da end- you're just pansies after all" he'd sigh. This fight would probably be going a completely different way if they'd both decided to come at him at once and tire him out. His eyes would shift down to his feet- Aspara apparently trying to grab him. Arcus would let out a laugh, a "whistling" sound piercing the air. Quickly- Arcus would take out his remote, clicking a button on it. In a flash, his pod would suddenly appear on the field, rocketing towards Aspara in an attempt to ram him away from Arcus.
Regardless of if this worked or not, Arcus would move out of the way- flying further into the air just in case the pod flew a bit too close to him. |
