Well, this was not ideal in the least. This was actually just about the worst thing that could have happened, with the possible exception of death (itself now a possibility). Would anyone fault Kalabas for dying to a super saiyan’s blast? He could think of less dignified ways to go. ‘At least,’ thought the Duke full of mocking self-derision ‘I’ll be getting a zenkai out of this.’ The already beat oozaru braced himself for impact, and through the gales of ki and the cherry red arm poised over his head he managed to flash an assuring smile at his little number one fan, attempting to give her the peace of mind he most surely didn’t have. In his heart of hearts he hoped that Belle wouldn’t scour his psych and perceive his fear - even if he had lost the favor of the crowd and his fellow fighters, only the kid’s voice truly mattered to him. ‘Stiff upper lip, old pal old chap, this is neither your first or last thrashing, face it with dignity.’The laser beam cut through all of Kalabas’ defenses like they were nothing, the brutal explosion swallowing all of him in a bright white light, yet no louder than his defiant roar! The mushroom cloud of fireworks fizzled out to reveal that where Kalabas had stood was only a large puddle of molten steel speckled with islands of broken flaming circuitry. Like the oozaru before him, Kalabas was nowhere to be seen! But then a rippling muscular hand sprouted from the depths - slowly, mightily - it balled into a fist, its thumb piercing the very heavens! As suddenly as it appeared, Kalabas’ limb sunk away from sight.

There was no rescuing Kalabas from Nashua's beam as she cut through his attack, not to mention his defenses, with surprising ease. If she hadn't been taking much notice of him before, it was hard not to stop and stare as he vanished into the heavens. That momentary distraction unfortunately cost her, as an uppercut landed flush on her jaw just as she turned back to deal with her adversary. The impact was enough to send her sprawling backwards through the air, but an expulsion of ki helped her to right herself into a nimble little flip. She landed back on her feet a few paces away and rubbed at her now sore jaw. "Not bad. Now, let's turn the dial up to a hundred, why don't we?" she grinned across at her opponent... before wincing. Smiling kind of hurt after that punch. Ramen brought her hands together at her side and adopted a formal stance, feet squared with her shoulders. Energy began to crackle between her palms, that same signature crimson her ki always seemed to form into, radiating with excess power. Ordinarily, this might take more time to charge, but with her body already flowing with such a staggering amount of ki, the technique was prepared in mere moments. As she poured her energy into the attack, so too did she overcharge her own body, concentrating her ki into one, particular purpose: firing this attack with all the might she could muster. Though it left no obvious physical sign, her attack would come hand in hand with another technique, designed to cut her speed and mobility in exchange for a little extra blasting power. Reckless, but these tournaments had time limits, and there was no room to feel out an opponent. She made that mistake before. "Try and take this one without running away!"

Kalabas went down pretty dang hard after Nashua smacked him with her laser beam. But he was okay, that attack had never had the powr nor the intent to do any serious damage to the other fighter. Though she did feel a bit bad about the position he was stuck in. Without Kohlra there to give him a good fight, there really wasn't anything he could do to even hope to stand up to how powerful she was. And she couldn't afford to lower her strength to entertain him, either, seeing as Ramen was going all out against her - she could apologize to Kalabas later, she figured. In the meantime, she'd somehow managed to land the uppercut she was certain would miss, and now Ramen was even more pissed at her.
"You know, I found out that the secret to Saiyans unlocking their potential is just them geting really pissed off," Nashua commented at Ramen in the brief lull that hung over their battle as the redhead got her footing back. "So, is that what happened to you for all this? I'm still not entirely sure how you got so strong out of the blue." Maybe Nashua would find out the answer to that after this next attack. And it looked like a doozy. Ramen's projected power level even shot up a bit! "This looks fun..." Nashua mumbled to herself with grit teeth as the raging red beam flared toward her with a nearly unrivaled level of monstrosity. Her instinct was to throw up her most powerful barrier to try and tank it, but she had already used up a decent amount of her energy, and she knew Super Saiyan had its limits.
What those limits were was the question. And how much damage it could tank was another. She couldn't just take this attack straight to the face no problem, right? But if she overxerted herself and fell out of Super Saiyan, she'd be equally as screwed! With a gulp, Nashua reached back to grab her spear to erect a medium sized barrier - and grabbed at thin air. Her hand frantically patted her armor's white belt for a few seconds until she realized she hadn't brought it with her. Was it back on the ship? Well, it wasn't like there was any time left to check! The Saiyan whipped her ponytail forward and grabbed it with haste, and in her rushed panic, only managed to erect a thing barrier between her and the massive wave of ki that was barreling towards her.
The barrier, of course, was completely overhwlemed, and her ponytail was blown back behind her by the force, the rest of the blast overwhelming her almost entirely, the Saiyan gritting her teeth in pain as she raised her arms to shield her face, and felt her armor being torn from her body in pieces and chunks, until a few moments, it was all over. "...Whew," Nashua let out a sigh of relief at the fact that she'd withstood the attack. "That was, uh... Powerful!" she called out to Ramen. "You gotta teach me that one, sometime! But we're not done here, quite yet!" Though she seemed enthusiastic, she felt sore and singed all over, and even felt pretty drained of her energy in general after weathering that blow. But she was still alive and kicking.
"Bet you can't hit me with something even nearly that strong again, though!" she taunted. "And that didn't even knock me out!"

Ramen took in a few deep breaths as she watched the results of her attack. To her surprise, Nashua had managed to block the worst of the technique. Her armour might have been damaged and her energy sapped, but she was still in good fighting condition. She let out an annoyed noise in the back of her throat, before leaping into the air. Nashua saw fit to taunt her, which just wouldn't do. She aimed both hands down towards her, releasing a torrent of minor energy blasts in her direction. "It's real easy to talk a big game when you're playing it safe!" she called as she rocketed upwards, each word punctuated with another sharp little blast. When she finally came to a halt, well above the arena, she had managed to expend quite a bit of her energy on that veritable barrage. Maybe none of the blasts would hurt her all too much on their own, but at the least -- maybe she could shut her up. "If you think you're really all that good, why don't you take your shot?"She smirked, stretching her arms out to either side to present herself as a target. If Nashua could taunt, then so could she. She even went as far as to close her eyes, though her passive energy sense still informed her as to where her opponent was lurking. But it's the thought that counts, right? "If you can do half as much damage to me as I did to you, then I'll explain this little power boost to you. But for now, we'll just say it took a little more work than just getting a little angry one night."

Crap, Ramen wasn't falling for her taunts - Nashua was briefly annoyed that her most powerful attack was entirely reliant on her opponent striking first, but then, she had designed it that way for a reason. She was being called out for playing it safe, but, really, what else could she have been oing up to now? Her partner abandoned her to fight off two attackers at once, and the moment Kalabas had been dealt with, Ramen blasted off the strongest attack she could muster! It honestly frustrated the Saiyan. This was supposed to be a teamwork matchup, and that's what she'd been excited for - to finally have someone she could rely on to do some of the fighting, too! "Fine, I'll hit you," Nashua growled back, the excitement in her voice that had mostly been present throughout the match gone completely.
She hated losing, to be honest. But that was all she could ever seem to do. And it was usually just cause she was being dumb or too merciful on her part. Well, on a real battlefield, if even one person doesn't believe in honor and mercy, then such ideals are absolutely useless. And taking it easy on Nashua hadn't seemed to cross Ramen's mind. Why should it have? They were both going all out, after all. "And I don't need you to tell me anything, I've made it this far without any help from anyone when it mattered," she stated with a scowl, "So I might as well see this thing through to the end like I have every other time before: by myself!" Nashua then let out a strained, elongated grunt as her fists clenched at her side, and her muscle mass began to increase.
The Saiyan usually didn't look all that muscly despite her high power, but she suddenly looked ripped compared to her usual appearance. And, had she even gotten a few inches taller? It was a form beyond even Super Saiyan, though it sacrifice some defenses in order to pull it off. Not that it mattered, because Nashua was putting everything into this one attack! "Unfailing Laser... Cannon!" she shouted out, and without warning, her ponytail blasted off a ridiculous amount of power straight behind her, which propelled the Saiyan forward at speeds that made a rocketing bullet look like it was moving through molasses. A punch was thrown using the momentum gathered, straight at the Earthling's face with all the might Nashua could muster.
And then, whether it hit its mark or not, Nashua fell and tumbled down to the ground, her strained muscles softening once more and her golden hair dropping down to its usual dark bronw, all while she tumbled in the dirt for a few meters until she came to a stop, face down in the sand. She didn't even bother getting up. "I blew it again..." she groaned with frustration into the sand.

Her blasts didn't seem to have much of an impact, but that was probably to be expected. With fighters of Nashua's caliber, it took a little more than what amounted to long-distance jabs to actually do any real damage. She was going to need to do something to put the fight away sooner rather than later, and it looked like the Saiyan was going to grant her wish and take a shot. But it was her comment before her power even began to rise that really caught Ramen off-guard. She claimed to have been on her own the whole time, taking singular credit for her own success. It wasn't that Ramen could really blame her for feeling that way. Everyone's progress is ultimately the result of their own hard work. But seeing everything through on her own? That was a sentiment that she could barely believe. "If you really think that, then you're way more self-centered than I thought. You didn't get any help from anyone? I must have missed that. Did you fight the Trade Fleet off on your own? No, it must be the Dragon Balls you're thinking of..." she scrunched her face up as if she was in deep thought, but it was all in mockery. "Oh, wait -- I seem to remember helping you with that too. Was it retaking Vegeta--oh, no, you had help there..."
"I'm sure sure what little world you're living in, but if you think you got here all by yourself, then you're not just selfish. You're a dumbass."As Nashua powered up her attack, Ramen fell into a mid-air defensive stance. The smart move would have been to fire back at her or prepare a barrier, but now she was really pissed off. It was probably a throwaway comment. She was probably just frustrated with how the fight was going. But all the same, it felt like a punch to the gut as someone who had been with her through so many of the challenges that had faced the Kingdom. If that didn't mean anything to Nashua when it counted, then she needed a lesson. And Ramen wasn't about to try to protect her pride anymore. As the blast rocketed the woman up towards her, Ramen remained firm in her stance -- right up until the last possible moment. And then, just as the punch was about to land, she thrust her first forward to meet impact with impact. The sheer force that Nashua had managed to pack into that one blow was crushing, and she felt herself being pushed back through the air as her arm crumpled under the pressure. The excess energy behind Nashua threatened to sear at her if she couldn't stay out front, but it soon ended up a moot point as she was sent flying backwards under the momentum of the blow. She managed to direct herself down towards the arena floor, but she couldn't slow her descent, and she landed with a veritable quake, kicking up debris and destroying a large section of the battlefield. When the smoke cleared, she was bloodied and bruised -- and her armour was peeling off of her, having absorbed much of the fall. Moving right now was painful, but she wasn't about to give her opponent the satisfaction of seeing her stop. Not when she said something like that. "Try handling this alone," she shot, her glare unwavering in its focus on the despondent Saiyan. She lifted her hand to the air and began to gather her energy in the form of a crimson orb. It was a familiar technique, to be certain, but with Nashua having lost her transformation -- it was just that much more punishing. She didn't have as much energy left as she would have liked. But she had enough. She took one, wavering step forward before hurling the attack at her full-force. She nearly fell to a knee as the attack left her hand, adrenaline beginning to evaporate, but the attack itself remained true. She was going to try to blast her clean out of the arena.
Ramen uses her armour! New defensive PL: 2,210,000. She takes full damage from Nashua's MA3 equaling 96% damage.
She then fires her [A1] Red Crush for 686,400 damage, looking to end the fight.

Nashua's attack landed, but that didn't make anything that happened afterwards feel much better. Or what the human had said before. A selfish dumbass, that was what Ramen had called her. That hurt more than it usually did to hear when it was coming from Ramen - the dumbass part, anyway. She'd been called that more times than she could count, anyway. And she knew she wasn't very smart; at least not as smart as most of the people around her were. The Saiyan slowly pushe herself back up off the ground, and got to her feet, her body still pretty sore from the attack Ramen had made her tank earlier. "That all would have gone exactly the same - or even just better if I had just died on Vegeta like everyone else around me did," she mumbled dejectedly. "And sometimes, I wish I had." Then she wouldn't have had the chance to screw everything up like she usually managed to do.
Taking the Earth Balls into her own hands was her way of trying to make up for how stupid she'd been acting on Namek, she supposed. "I am a dumbass," she replied, "But selfish? Do you know how many times I listened to you complain about 'lacking in power' when I didn't even have so much as a tail to wrap around my waist? When you could triple your own strength while I was stuck sitting there, borderline useless?! And then when you did finally got the power you were after, when I was so happy for you while I was stuck at nothing, what did you do with it? You blew everything up and tried to kill me with it!" And now it was all happening again. Ramen fired off a ferocious blast of ki at the Saiyan that was going to knock her out and senseless, and this time, she hadn't the energy to stop it.
"And now I have power, and I can't... Even do anything with it!" Nashua stomped her foot and began to focus her ki throughout her body, despite there being none let to even spend. If she didn't have the ki reserves left, then she'd just force it to come forth. As each bolt of forcibly charged ki zapped throughout her body, it brought with it a wave of pain that was alone enough to nearly send the Saiyan unconscious, but she still held on, and on, and on... Moments before Ramen's blast would've floored her, somehow, a barrier was erected between Nashua and the blast - and it was still shattered and overwhelmed entirely, but the little defense it could provide for the Saiyan was enough to keep her from being blown out of the arena, at least.
And when the dust settled, Nashua was still standing, with some pretty grievous wounds all over her entire body, but still alive and panting. "See? I handled that... On my own... So just... Don't ever call me..." before she could finish the thought, the Siyan broke into a coughing fit, and a red liquid splattered the sandy ground in front of her before she collapsed down at her side and went out cold.

Nashua did her best to withstand the attack, but it wasn't enough. Ramen knew it wouldn't have been enough. With her energy drained, she really had no way of effectively countering her new power. But as before, it was what she said that bit harder than anything she could have thrown out. She would have rather been hit by another punch or been blasted another half-dozen times than have to hear her friend's comments. All the pent-up anger, all the emotion, whatever it was and wherever it was coming from. She still couldn't help but think the Saiyan was being childish or... something. But having a mirror shone on herself like that stung, and the moment that should have been one of triumph found her standing there, dumbstruck. Her energy faded around her as her power returned to normal, and she just looked across at her fallen opponent. Maybe she was right: in her frustration with her own lack of power, she had been insensitive. She hadn't taken the time to think of how Nashua would have felt, having possessed and then lost the great strength she herself had struggled for. And now that Nashua had overcome her own defeat at the hands of Chamil with this new strength, there was Ramen to stamp out her hopes like a dying ember. So, she stared. She may have knocked Nashua unconscious, but this was no victory. That punch to the gut felt like a hammer at this point. She couldn't tell how the crowd was reacting, cheer or boo. At this point, she didn't really care. "You can't just say things like that," she spoke, but the anger had been sapped from her voice and replaced by a dull tone, devoid of the hostility she had embodied just moments ago. "That's not fair. This was supposed to be a fair fight between friends. A competition."
"... I guess it was a nice thought," she mumbled, before turning around and starting for the edge of the ruined arena floor. She supposed that notion of friendship had died with her loss of control on the Lookout. Or maybe it was just the heat of the moment. Whatever it was, it left her feeling empty in victory. Maybe they were both the losers here. "Make sure she gets medical help, Kalabas -- or whoever. But I'm done here."
"I quit."
Ramen returns to base form and drops out of the tournament.

After much deliberation, then a forfeit, I quit, and KO, we have ourselves the most unorthodox finish to this match.

Congrats Team Kalabas.
