" Hehehe, I don't know why I was so against this song before. It's great!" The hulking, pantsless Demon strolls through the Fukurou Forest, snapping along to the song, with one hand holding his boombox. He didn't have a care in the world right now! As far as he cared, everything else didn't have to exist, except for him and this jukebox. " Ya know, I guess no one really cared that much about Yogu. I was expecting that orange haired saiyan or maybe even that Shinjin that trained the kid to be on his ass. Surprisingly, the only real resistance I had encountered was back at that tournament in the desert... Who else is that little shit stain friends with? There are tha ogres, but who knows where those guys are? The saiyans...? Nah, he just helped out with a little bit and ditched those guys. I guess that's all of his friends. Man, talk about a LOSER! Has barely any friends and the ones he had didn't even bother to try to get him back! The only one that sorta cared was that two-year-old cat- waiiiiit..." A devilish smile creeps across the monster's face. " Nashi lived with the Kami! And he had plenty'a servants! And I'm pretty near there. Might as well cut off any potential friends he made while I wasn't paying attention. If I were to kill god... That'd make him irredeemable beyond belief! No one'll want to save him from me at that point! He'd be too much of a liability! Then this body will be mine! HAHAHA! Delightfully devilish, Monster... How's that sound Yogu?! Heartbreaking? Soul shattering? Are you even still in there or is it just a husk?!" Monster feels a quick pang of sadness, signaling that something of Yogu was still there, able to comprehend what he was saying. " Well, that's great!" With a hop, skip, and a jump, Monster leaped into the sky and took off to the skies as fast as he could, going in the direction of Kami's Lookout! " Ooo, I should stop in a village and get some new music to use for a badass entrance!" Not even twenty minutes later, and with a village burned down, Monster could see the long tower belonging to the Senbyō. " So it's just straight up right? That's where God's house is?" Monster blasts upward full speed. " OH! I should suppress my energy before I get up there! I want to make a flashy a surprising entrance!" He suppresses his energy and not even a minute later he was a good couple of hundred feet above the lookout. He abruptly comes to a stop, and the force from the sudden stopping causes a shockwave to shoot out from all around him. " Okay... Okay... How should I go about doing this...? Alright! Drop the ki suppression, drop down into the center of the Lookout, play my music, connect this handy-dandy mic I borrowed from that one lady's corpse, and say that I'm here to destroy God's house, then do it I guess? Yeah, that sounds good." And he does just that, he stops suppressing his ki and a massive aura shoots out around him! He descends slowly, landing in the exact middle of Kami's lookout. He places his boombox gingerly on the ground. He presses play and then puts the bloodied mic jack into the boombox.
Monster leans into the mic, " MAN THIS SONG IS REALLY CATCHY!" Okay, so he might've not just leaned into the mic. He miiiiight've pressed his lips directly against it. " OW! MY EARS!" A long beat of feedback plays as he pulls his mouth a little bit away. The music continues to play through his voice. " A-Alright. So whassup? My name's Mons- hold on where's my note cards? I know I brought note cards..." He fumbles around with the Boombox for a little bit, looking to try to find some sort of opening where note cards where have fit. " Okay, so I lost the note cards. So my name's Monster, I'm possessing this kid Yogu, kiiiinda. I'm here to destroy this place and kill the Kami. So I'm gonna start doing that now!" He removes the mic and throws it, watching it sail off into the sky until it leaves his view. " Bye bye mic!" He looks over to the palace-like structure that was only a handful of feet in front of him. " Man it'd be reaaaally embarrassing if god wasn't home right now. And a one... and a two... and a threeeeee!" Yogu slaps both of his open palm hands side-by-side and unleashes a tsunami of ki blasts at the Palace. Very quickly, it starts to get torn to shreds. Monster can't tell how much damage he's caused yet, due to the smoke, but he can definitely guess it was a lot. " Alright! Onto the rest of this place!" Judging by what he did to the Palace, if someone didn't stop Monster soon, he'd destroy the entire Lookout!
OOC: And so it begins. What a meme. If Monster remains unopposed for 72 hours, the Lookout will be destroyed, along with the sub board I guess. |

Typha, keep his eyes shut in the woods. He was nearby the lookout training with his swordsmanship. Before he had tried to do it blind to no success. Now he was doing a bit better. At least he was not running into something. As he swung down a large nagging wave of energy filled his head. It hurt and it was massive. He’d turned his head looking up at the lookout where he sensed it. His robotic eye blared to life and he knew there was a massive power on the lookout. He scanned his robotic eye databank seems it was not someone he had met before. Yet at the same time, there were some similar signs. Typha could see that something was up and not in a good way.
Typha grabbed his sword looking at it. His reflection gazed back and he only nodded. It was foolish to head up there but Typha had said he’d never run. Chime could up there with the power. <2,200,000> finally registered on his robotic eye. He wondered if it was a super saiyan or something worse. Typha blasted off flying up towards the lookout. When he arrived at the top he saw a beast of a man. More akin to a demon than human. Yet he had heard of something like this before. “Seems you're trying to cause some trouble.” Typha flipped up landing right in front of Monster. He was not afraid to stand face to face with the demon. If he felt fear then he’d turn his back and he’d die without any pride. “May I ask why you're destroying the lookout. And who you are before you keep going. For who I am, Typha is the name. Third Son of Konats.” He decided best to stall a bit of time and figure out what the man was doing. Then he could figure out how he’d handle this fight.

| ACTIVE TRANSFORMATIONS: None |
There were a few thing that had been established during Nashua's time spent on Earth, hunting for its Dragon Balls. The first was that she was pretty good at it. The second was that the people of Earth were - generally - very nice people. And the third was that it was part of her responsibility to keep the planet safe, along with Vegeta, instead of either or. So when she got wind of a dangerously high power level threatening the safety of the Lookout, no way was she just gonna be sitting back on her butt at home! While she'd been yearning for a chance to do nothing and relax with her family for almost every day over the past year, once she'd finally gotten the chance to, it was... Pretty boring. The entire time she'd just felt like she had better things to do.
So, maybe it was a little eager to fly halfway across the galaxy to deal with a threat Earth could probably handle alright on its own, but she didn't want to chance it. If it was the Lookout under attack, that meant Chime and all those other nice people who lived there were in danger, too. Also, she had literally just restored the place with a wish. She didn't want to have to do that again. "Hold your horses!" she shouted from above as her ship finally came hurtling through the atmosphere of the planet, her voice projected from the intercom the ship came with. She quickly turned on the automatic landing feature before dashing from the pilot's seat and forcing open the door, leaping from the speeding ship hundreds of meters above the Lookout. She wasn't falling fast enough, though, so she sped herself up in a full burst fly down towards the floating structure.
Once the Saiyan was close enough to hear the annoyingly loud music coming from the boombox, she flared up her ki and near instantaneously donned her Super Saiyan form in a sudden flash of light. With all the practice she'd had with it, turning it on and off, and even maintaining its power over a long period came as effortlessly as ever. As she touched down atop the Lookout, she saw someone already standing up to the beast - was that Typha? A quick power level scan of the both of them revealed that the Konatsian would certainly be torn to bits by this thing! "Hey, get away from him, Typha!" she warned, "Don't try to be a hero, here, okay? Know your limits!" Then her attention turned to the monster, who'd already done a fair share of damage to the building nearby.
"I don't know what the hell you think you're doing, but it's a bad idea." Her arms folded across her chest. "So I'm going to ask you nicely once to get out of here before I have to start being more aggressive with you."

Post by Nashi on Mar 19, 2019 0:37:22 GMT -6
Nashi woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Normally this wouldn’t be much of an issue but, on this particular occasion, it was especially worrying; mostly because he woke up in the wrong bed, too.
In approximately an amount of seconds, Nashi got ready for a long, hard day of flying around in pursuit of interesting people to interact with. He put on his sarashi (which was harder than it looked!), put on the Battle Armour-like under-armour thing, and then the Shinjin-style over-armour, as you’d imagine, over it. He started making some instant noodles until he heard something very odd indeed.
He hears a song. A song, mind you, about a continent that doesn’t exist. And then some shouting, and feedback. Nashi’s heart raced; what could it be? But Nashi might have already known the answer to that. After the attack of the Lookout masterminded by Maple, then the one by Ramen, then by Mumbo, would it be of any surprise to learn that a fourth fool had come forth between the cracks of sentience in a misguided attempt to fulfill their lofty ambitions of deicide? But it couldn’t be doubted that it could be effective. For Maple’s? Not so much, but Ramen’s attack put Nashi out of fighting order for days, and Mumbo’s attack killed someone!
And, besides. Nashi thought he recognised the voice. It sounded sorta like…
”Monster.”
He remembered. He remembered that monster, that thing which Yogu was not, and he remembered it well. He remembered its sheer power, and he remembered comparing it to Ramen’s power when she did a Ramen and attacked.
On every previous attack (that he was present for), Nashi stood his ground and fought. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Besides, he’s grown stronger since all of that!
Just as Nashi was about to get to the small, top palace-rom-thing, it exploded in a terrific swarm of ki blasts! But, when the smoke cleared, Monster would see Nashi, interrupted from coming up the stairs by the sudden disintegration of half the stairs. Was it intimidating? Sure, but mostly it was just annoying. ”Wh— Hey, I was using those!”
Someone else was here, someone Nashi couldn’t quite see due to those pesky things called ‘angles’ and ‘not having X-ray vision’, pseesh. Perhaps if he did see the third wheel he’d have remarked upon his elfness, which he’d then (correctly) assume to be konstainity. Pretty suspicious, given Yogu’s lineage. But Nashi didn’t know about that right now and instead of the Konatsian he saw an— well, nothing but he heard an opportunity! While Monster was presumably distracted by the elf, Nashi would jump up right behind him and shoot an (unaccounced) Blue Bro Ball at the back of his head before kicking off of the threat to gain some distance. ”You aren’t welcome here. Begone, foul beast!” Nashi was really regretting showing Yogu where the Lookout was right about now.
”Yogu, if you’re in there, somewhere…” It was worth a shot, right? It happened on the cartoons all the time. And, sometimes, it even worked. ”… The usual ‘fight back’ thing, yeah, it’s not as if we haven’t done this before, but mostly it's that I apologise if any of the pain I’m about to cause this thing reaches you.” Pause for dramatic effect. ”And there’s gonna be a lot of pain.” Because, yeah, they’ve done this before. They solved it last time so, surely, they’d solve it this time too!
Nashi had his Power Pole in its usual, easily-accessible spot and had a miniature senzu bean hidden away in his sash: the first senzu he’d gotten from his senzu bonsai!
Nashi wasn’t so sure anymore if Monster was an elven werewolf ghost family member like these things tended to be.
But, then? Nashi, for whatever reason, realised that his horses weren't being held. Why? Might have had some something to do with his general horselessness. In other news, there was a really quick ship right there, landing on air somehow! And there was a thing that came from it, and it was glowing yellow! Nashi had only seen this raw power once before... at the hairdressers'.
The candletop talked to a figure Nashi couldn— oh hey there's a dude right there! 'Typha'. It would only take a moment for him to mentally remark on his konstaininess.
No? OK.
Hey, is that—? He believed it was. She gained a transformation or two since they last saw each other but that was definitely Nashua! "Yeah! What she said, but also bring back Yogu!" Nashua probably would have heard him. "Hey other Nash! Nice hair!" And he did mean that, the hair looked cool. So cool, in fact, that he could almost overlook its shade.

Saizomaru PL: 1,620,000 (Hokuto-Chikara + Overdrive)
It had been a while now since the wish was made on the Dragon Balls. But ever since that day, Saizomaru had found himself wanting for something. All he wanted was a purpose in his life—to defend the Earth as a sort of guardian, despite the fact that there were so many people who were more fit for that role than him. He wasn't as strong. He wasn't as trustworthy.
But ever since that day that he met with Nashua for a talk, he had been feeling more confident in what had to be done on his part. If he couldn't be the guardian, then he would join those who were like him. The whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
And it was that reason that he decided to go to the Lookout this day. If he was to get on good terms with anyone, then it was best to start at the top with the Kami of this planet.
However, not all was well. Even without getting close to the place he could feel something was happening. He could feel so many powers and strengths coalesced on a single point, a couple of them strong. One of them was filled which such malicious malevolence that he immediately recognized it to be of a dark, perhaps demonic origin. He had felt this kind of oppressive ki many times before.
Quickly he broke through the clouds towards the Lookout at breakneck speeds. Soon enough he saw the bowl-shaped silhouette of it on the horizon. It did not take him too long for him to finally get onto the platform, and when he did he was immediately surprised by what was happening.
He was surprised to see two people he had recognized—Nashi, the blue feline warrior of the staff; and Nashua, the saiyan girl with the glaive who he had met up with not too long ago. There was another, an elf like person, who was a stranger to the android.
All three of them were stood against a tall, imposing figure. Pale blue skin, blood red eyes and elongated devil horns were a sure fire giveaway of its demonic origins.
And why was there music playing?
"Afternoon, all!" he called out in his usual, characteristic cheerful tone. He gave them a collective wave. "My name is Sai, and I'm an alcoholic."
He doubted that anyone would get the joke.
"Yo. Demon man," he called out to Monster. "Nice choice in music. I hope you'll enjoy getting your ass pounded to a drum beat." He did a slight jig as he made his way past the tall one, humming to the beat. Then, he began to sing along to the chorus, albeit slightly different.
"♪It's gonna take a lot to stop me from kicking you
Right in the dick with my size eleven shoe
I bring the pain down all over ya's
Gonna take my time to do the things to whip yo ass♫"
Then, he found himself with the others. He gave each of them a glance over, giving a small smirk to Nashua. She was much stronger than when they had last met. This little scuffle shouldn't take long.
He turned back to Monster. The android's aura began to flare, higher and higher, surrounding his body in a veil of blue-white ki. "I think you should have stayed home, demon man," he sneered. "You're about to be in a world of pain."
But before anything more could happen, Nashi had already launched his first attack. Saizomaru glanced over at him, then sighed. "Oh, a'ight. We're starting already. Fair enough…"

Post by Hale on Mar 19, 2019 10:13:27 GMT -6
Among the confusion and chaos of what the situation was quickly spiraling into, a large figure with a cloak covering his features landed on the lookout gently enough to barely make a sound. His face was covered with a mask with no features, black, and only two slits where human nostrils would have been and two eye holes to show the piercing stare. Looking around without moving his head he saw a familiar cast of characters, some more fortunately than others given run ins with them, and some he was surprised to see given the situation and location. It wasn't hard to follow the trail of whoever or whatever was causing damage in the area, and the loud noises along with the explosions that had taken place by the time he had reached the base of the tower below.
Typha looked as if he were already addressing and interacting with the unfortunately familiar figure standing not that far away, but it was the others that showed up that truly surprised him. Sighing under the mask, he kept his distance though there was no way he was visibly hidden from view despite his covered appearance, not sure if he should do anything at all aside from simply watch. Nashua was far less wait and see given the scene she had likely came upon before Hale had, and she looked far less than happy about it. His eyes slid to the side to see Nashi standing nearby, and he was no surprise showing up given his proximity compared to everyone else that had came to face off with the literal monster. Things were getting awkward here as he knew how strong Nashi and Nashua were, but he wasn't too sure about the other, and by the way Nashua was telling him to back off it was likely this Monster guy could take him out with a snap of his fingers.
Saizomaru being there, that might have been as much of a surprise as Nashua having shown up. The last time Hale was aware Nashua was on Vegeta, though to be fair she could probably say the same about him. Saizomaru however was one Hale wasn't sure how to react to in this situation as he seemed to keep mostly to himself, but this seemed like a pretty good reason to show up. Still, Hale kept quiet, his arms, legs, and even his tail hidden under the long cloak, so he looked like nothing more than a figure standing near the edge of the lookout staring over at what looked like a situation ready to explode at any second.

Chime's PL: 70,000
As the chaos brewed just outside, Chime lay snug in his bed, asleep, blissfully unaware that anything bad was happening. He'd been spending his days studying the scroll Ramen had left behind, to try and discover its origin and figure out some way to counter it. There'd been a breakthrough in his research just the previous night, and he'd developed a spell he thought would work...in theory. Satisfied with his work, he'd gone to bed for some well-earned rest. Testing it would come later.
Before that 'later' could come, Chime was rudely awoken by the sound of a boombox and mic feedback. His eyes flew open. What was going on, who was that?! He caught something about a 'Monster' and 'Possessing that kid Yogu', none of which sounded good. He remembered the name Yogu vaguely, one of Nashi's friends. It didn't sound good, whatever exactly it was. He'd only begun to sit up when there was a horrible explosion that shook his whole room, then another, and another, as a rain of ki-blasts pelted the main building. Chime screamed in shock and scrambled out of bed, getting tangled in the sheets on the way and falling a few times. Chunks of falling roof barely missed him as he ran, and by the time he escaped, the building looked like swiss cheese, and one of the awnings collapsed behind him.
Outside was a small mob of people, most of whom he recognized. Nashi was there, along with Typha, and...the silver-haired man he'd met the last time the Lookout was attacked. Saizo! That was his name. A spaceship hovered overhead, and next to it a Saiyan with hair like golden fire that he took a moment to recognize as Nashua. She'd gotten powerful since he'd last seen her, almost scarily so, if he didn't know she was on his side. The final two seemed less friendly: one was a large, silent figure in a dark cloak and mask. The other was also muscular and intimidating, but otherwise the exact opposite. He was loud, brash, and completely unclothed. The way everyone was spread around facing him told Chime that this was the culprit, the 'Monster' that had just blown the roof off his home. The immense power he could feel coming off everyone here made his skin prickle. The little Kami felt horribly out of his depth standing there in flannel pants, an 'I <3 Bao' shirt one size too large, and nothing else.
Nashi wasted no time in launching an attack on this Monster, and Chime dashed over to his side to yank one of his tails, "Nashi!" he hissed, "Don't just rush in, remember what happened last time! We need to draw this fight away from the Lookout, or this is gonna get really bad, really fast," He gave a glance around at the gathered group, "Remember Ramen? They're basically all that strong." If the Senbyo happened to look, he could see the Kami's hands visibly shaking.
"Alright, everyone!" Chime shouted to address everyone there, without a hint of that shaking in his voice, "I don't know what this is about, but you're taking this fight somewhere else! There's plenty of nice wastelands to battle in. I'm only going to ask once."

MONSTER MASH| Ramen's PL: 2,288,000 (Base 143,000 - x16 Modifier) |
By this point in time, Ramen hated the Lookout. Between the trauma of facing down that horrifying snake demon the first time she stepped foot on it, to her admittedly hazy memories of attacking it herself, nothing good ever seemed to come of this place. It was an annoying structure for annoying people who did annoying things. But she had also styled herself as one of Earth's protectors, and a few squabbles with a crazed Pride Trooper and some diplomatic errors with a minor God weren't going to change that. There would have been a very good chance of her missing the attack entirely, had she not sensed Nashua's approach to the planet. She had assumed she was only coming for the usual reasons: diplomacy, friends, something like that. But when she drew near to her apparent landing place, she caught the more unsettling power source. She slammed down onto the edge of the Lookout, her appearance much the same as it had been the last time she had come here. Her eyes shone a vibrant red, red lightning seemed to be crackling all around her. Once more, she brought a demonic storm to the Lookout. But this time, she had retained a clear mind... or as clear a mind as she was ever going to have with so much power coursing through her veins. She lifted her hand and fired off a small blast of ki, barely enough to scratch the strange creature that had seen fit to lay siege to the tower. She just wanted to get his attention. "I don't know who you are, but this place is under my protection," she shouted across to him. She cleared her throat and glanced aside, making a point not to catch the eyes of any of the defenders she had unfortunate memories of. "... at least now that I'm back to normal," she added in a small voice. She quickly recovered, fixing her attention back upon the Konatsian demon. There were a few other arrivals to note. Some she recognized, some she didn't. But most eluded her attention for now, though she had to bite her lip to prevent a snicker at the white-haired man's quips. Once she regained her serious composure, she called out to the attacker once again.
"If you want any chance of making it out of this intact, shut up and surrender. We won't kill you if you don't give us a reason."

Well, this was getting boring quick. "Man, is Kami really not home? Maybe I should leave and come back later..." Monster was just about to turn off the jams and fly off, but then someone appears. "Huh? Who's that- oh. Oh." It was the cat brat. "Heh... Heh... Just great... HEY FRIEND! That was quick! Ya know where Kami is? Kinda tryin' to kill him." Then he realized another person was there. "Huh? Who the hell are you?" The Konatsian points out the fact that he is, indeed, causing trouble. "Yeah, you gonna do anything about it? Ya know what, I'll probably just ignore you during this whole experience. If you could just get Kami to come out here that'd be great." He gives Typha a smile. "Well, why I'm doing this isn't really any of your business. And I'm not telling you shit, long ears, Typha, whatever you are." What did third son of Konats mean again? "Oh shit, you're royalty aren't you- huhwuzthat?" Monster completely forgot about Nashi being there. Well, now he was behind him and firing a ki attack right at the back of his head. Monster braces, expecting it to hit him hard, but is surprised to find he barely moves. In fact, he only slid forward a few inches! And there was only a faint stinging feeling on the back of his head. "OHHH NOOO, THE GREAT HERO NASHI DEFEATED ME IN ONE BLOW! Haha... Man, that was really funny buddy. Now just uh..." Monster throws a hand out with incredible speed, aiming to grab onto the cat's neck. If he lands, a shockwave rings out and he grips onto his neck to the point he wouldn't be surprised if the Senbyō's head popped off. "Just stay there for a second while I deal with Mr. Elf Man." He turns back to Typha, giving him another haunting grin, "Where were we...? Well, I don't want to leave myself in a bad position so I'm gonna try to hold Cat Brat here as far away as possible while I kill you, mkay? I still need the cat alive, unfortunately."
Monster is just about to rush forward and try to vaporize Typha in one attack, but he's interrupted by a massive energy, maybe even bigger than his own, coming from the sky. "What the hell is that? Everyone shut up a sec." Why did he tell them to stop talking? He didn't know. Energy sensing wasn't sound-based. Probably to stop having to hear Nashi go 'Yogu this, lots of pain that'. Then a space ship lands and a golden-haired lady with a monkey tail hops out. "WHO THE HELL IS THIS CHICK?! Where are all these random people coming from? I just wanted to kill Kami, is that TOO MUCH TO ASK?!" Apparently, golden-haired monkey lady knew the Konatsian. "So what were the monkey-tailed ones called again... Saiyans, yeah? That sounds about right. I feel like I've seen this one before, but without the whole, glowy hair Super Saiyan thing. Were you there during the retaking of Veg- Ya know what, never mind? That's stuff Yogu would care about. Too bad he's dead or stuck in whatever limbo you're placed in when you get your mind and body taken over."
Monster just stands there, whistling along to the song still playing on his boombox while Nashua declares what he's doing to be a 'bad idea'. "Psh, vague empty threats aren't gonna stop me from going through with my plan, cutie. 'Sides, if you get 'aggressive' and somehow I end up dead, then a child's blood will be on your hands too. I got an uh... Spiritual hostage of sorts. But if we ARE fighting I just need to uh- ah... AH... AH...! CHOOOO!" Monster sneezes and his entire body bulks up, he stands a few extra inches taller now, standing easily fourteen feet tall now. "Ooo, that's fun. I should do that again." Monster tries to sneeze again but nothing happens. "Phooey... Oh yeah, where were we?" Then a silver-haired man appeared. "Hi." He waves a massive hand towards the man, whose name is Sai. He declares himself an alcoholic. "Nice. I haven't tried alcohol in this body yet, cause Yogu's a square. Sooooon. Once I'm done with this place, probably. A drink would be really good right about now." Sai says that Monster's choice in music wasn't bad and that he'd get his ass pounded to the drum beat. "Eh, not entirely against it. Heh heh..." Sai also makes a vague threat about how he was going to be in a world of pain. "Boooo, more vague threats. You guys get a three outta ten on my hero rating. I've heard the world of pain line like hundreds of times back on Ko- Kofee, yeah. Planet Koffe. That exists. That's where I'm from. It's like, wayyyy over a couple of galaxies from here so you guys wouldn't know about it." He glances over to Typha to see if he bought Monster's honed acting skills. If he found out that he was from Konats... He'd probably be sealed right there on the spot.
Quick correction, Monster had the Swole SIG, so his transformation is actually x18/x13. His PL is now 2,340,000/1,690,000.
Monster hadn't noticed it until now, but there was a hooded figure with a fair bit of energy standing towards the edge of the lookout. "So... I get you guys are doing this whole ragtag group of heroes coming together to stop the big bad evil guy, like from one of those horrible shows Nashi would have Yogu sit through- That's not me talking, he didn't like 'em either 'kay Nashi? A-Anyways, who's that guy there?" He points a finger at the hooded guy. "More importantly... WHERE THE HELL'S KAMI?! GET OUT HERE ALREADY!" And just like a genie, Chime almost magically appeared from the wreck of the main building of the lookout, declaring everyone to move the fight to somewhere else. "Well, I would like to do that Mr. Kami sir, but ya see... The reason I'm here is for you. I'm doing one of those whatchamacallits... OH! An assassination, I'm assassinating you. So if everyone's cool with that... I'm just gonna... Bash his skull in? Yeah? That sound good with everyone? Fantasti- OH GREAT! WHY DON'T WE JUST SAY FUCK IT, AND BRING THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF EARTH UP HERE?" ANOTHER person just arrived, this one Monster definitely recognized from the reclaiming of Vegeta. And that one time in the caves on Vegeta. Monster probably would've forgotten about the red-haired one, if it weren't for Yogu thinking about her often. Weird. "Anybody else going to make a surprise last-second entrance? Are we done? Great. So... I'll make the first move?" If Monster had managed to choke Nashi, he finally releases the Senbyō from his death grip and takes a step forward. "Now, everybody don't attack at once. Let's be civilized about this. Heh heh... I won't go about killing the Kami just yet, I'm willing to talk- PSYCH!" Monster disappears and then reappears a second later in front of Typha. "Just gonna... YOINK!" His aura shoots out around him, lighting up the entire lookout, and causing any nearby clouds to be pushed far away. Then everything goes silent as the energy all condenses to one point in his knuckle, a calm before the storm. If the punch lands, another shockwave will shoot out for miles, and his fist will go straight through Typha's chest.

The whole dang posse seemed to have showed up to help stop this guy, so that was good. It did relieve Nashua a bit to see so many defenders arise, but it also had her wondering if she'd even really needed to come back at all. The monster guy was strong, but not significantly stronger than the number of people who'd shown up. Although, regarding the three weaker people who had arrived, for some reason, Nashua had a feeling a big part of the fight was going to end up revolving around keeping them from being immediately killed by one of Monster's attacks. One of the familiar faces who'd followed her here was none other than Ramen - who luckily had control of her super powerful form now. "Hey, Ramen!" Nashua shouted at her with a quick wave, "Now you get to redeem yourself for when you were trying to blow this place up! Funny, right?"
Nashua thought it was kinda funny, at least. Everyone else who'd shown up was also a familiar face to her, aside from the masked guy brooding off in the corner with an oddly high power level. Probably a good idea to keep an eye on him, Nashua thought. Sai was making some jokes that seemed to have had Ramen snickering - a bit oddly unserious given the circumstances, but maybe that was just how he dealt with things. And Nashi was even complimenting her hair. "Oh, thanks! I don't know how to make it not look like this when I power up," she replied with a small smile. Back to the serious stuff, though: Typha was in way over his head and looked to be about to pay for his life with it. "Not in my house!" Nashua exclaimed as she bolted forwards.
Monster's fist moved faster than Typha could have possibly hoped to even see, but Nashua saw it swing around with all its might as powerful ki energy blasted throughout the Lookout. Not powerful enough to blast her away, though. The Saiyan tried to shove the Konatsian aside with a powerful but non damaging kick, and then took the blow meant for him all to herself, her arms crossing in front of herself and charged with ki to form a powerful barrier, and while it shattered under the might of the fist that was the side of her head, a minor bruise was all that the Saiyan suffered on her forearm. "If that's the best you've got," Nashua said as her head tilted back to look the monster in the eyes, "Then I think you're in trouble, here." She uncrossed her arms in a wide X to try and throw back the monster's fist before leaping back to put some distance between the two of them.
She might have been acting cool and calm, but Nashua was quite concerned in the back of her mind. That blow had been enough to injure her a decent amount even as powerful as she was - what chance did the three weaker ones have if Monster made a sudden move towards them nobody was able to catch? "Nashi! Chime! Typha!" Nashua shouted, "You're not gonna like hearing this, but you three should all get the heck out of here! That guy can blow you all to smithereens with the flick of his thumb!" Surely they wouldn't be too prideful and listen to her, right? ...Right?

Typha narrowed his good eye at Monster. Seems he didn’t have any intentions backing down. Typha knew that mean thing could come to blows. He didn’t attempt to look away mainly because with a single movement Monster could end his life. However, he could still hear and he was glad what he heard and felt. Nashua had arrived and her power was equal to Monsters own if not slightly above. Nashua leads out for him to get back. Typha didn’t turn but he spoke. “I am not trying to be a Hero. To turn my back on a foe is a coward’s act. Even if I should die, i’d rather die back forward then turned and live.” Typha said calmly. The beast could attack but with Nashua here maybe he’d think otherwise. Afterall Killing Typha would leave him exposed against Nashua.
Then someone else arrived. He had never heard their voice. He was yelling about letting go of Yogu. This was Yogu? Typha good eye widened as he bit his lip. The name monster made sense, he was a monster. “A Beast from the Kashvarr huh.” He said apprehensibly. This was a serious danger, he doubted anyone else really knew what he was. “If you have taken over Yogu’s body relinquish control or else I shall do something you won’t find very amusing.” Typha threatened. He knew a bit of the creature and some tricks that may prove useful against them. Though Monster was powerful, he doubted such tricks would be enough to defeat him but at least make things tougher? Nashi did fire off an attack but it had little effect and the man even tried to grab him though he could not do much to stop Monster. He’d taken a single step back to not show his back to Monster.
Soon more people began to rise up. First was a man claiming to be Saizomaru. He could not sense his power and he could not turn his face to scan. He just knew he was an android. His hate for his kind would have to be left in the dust. He had to focus on Monster. There was another though he had not spoken so he didn’t know who it was. He knew they were strong however, that made things even better. Now Monster was fighting two foes who could stand on his level. Then Chime arrived. He yelled out how strong Monster which he knew already but he also wanted people to move. “Yogu here or Monster as he calls himself. I doubt he will be moved without force. Chime as the guardian I ask. Do you have any books on magic? Or know anything on magic to help save Yogu?” Guess he’d have to explain to him what Yogu had become, maybe he could help defeat him without anyone getting hurt.
Finally, Ramen arrived. She was yelling out about if he surrendered they’d have no reason to kill him. He’d almost looked back at Ramen but he keeps his head straight. “Ramen. This situation is a foe controlling someone’s body. It may not look like it but that is Yogu. He is being controlled by a Konatsian monster. Of the highest caliber.” He didn’t know any beast to wrap around their host other than the predecessor of his family. What other magic Monster may have had he didn't know. But he doubted anyone here really had a good grasp on magic. Monster made a note about a planet Koffe but since he knew this was Yogu from Nashi claim he just looked up. “You're from Konats. And I’ll stop you. You should have stayed hidden. This era does not need monsters lurking about.” Typha chastised the beast as his hair stood up turning a pale pink as the ground around shuttered slightly.
Monster took a step forward. Guess he was done waiting for people to come. The man disappeared and reappeared right away. Typha stepped back slightly but it was too late. The man’s arm jetted out as he sent a powerful attack right at his way. Typha knew he had no way to stop this attack. That was fine, he could see the man’s arm extended out for the attack. His hand reached for his sword as he got ready to slash with all his strength. The man could have his life. He’d gladly take the beasts arm. If Monster wanted to kill him having an attack that took a bit to charge was foolish. He got ready to attempt his counter. Yet Nashua had gotten in the way of the attack. Typha was saved.
Nashua told him, Chime and Nashua to back up. Typha leaped back landing next to Chime. He’d yelled out at Nashua and Ramen. “I don’t mean to be that guy but I’m not running. Yogu had the blood of Konats. If anyone in Konats is in danger I shall help them even at my peril. I only warn you because if what I do works then you may need to protect me again. I apologize in advance!” he’d yelled out as he flew up into the air pulling an ocarina from his belt. He had not played it much but he knew the song. All young boys knew the song in times of pain and peril. A song of heroes and kings.
“To my forefathers and my ancestors. I ask I beg. Please make this work.” He didn't know if could do a thing but he had to help. If he could not help in physical combat he must help in support. A green aura surrounded him as he closed his eyes. His finger clasp at where they’d need to be and he began to play a melody. Perhaps those who didn’t know it, suspected it to be a song for battle but its purpose was to weaken the monsters of Konats. So powerful they were over the people of Konats that it became a weapon. Typha knew it’d not be enough to defeat Monster but maybe it could crack into the darkness surrounding Yogu’s heart. Maybe he’d awaken and free himself from his fear and break Monster’s control. He could only pray and play the song.
He playing a Song https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Hero%27s_Flute. It has no actually effect (It is up to Yogu if it does anything bascially) If not then it just a cool tune. Pretty radical for a De right? Pale Rose Powerlevel:306,000

”You won’t lay a hand on him for as long as I stand!” For Nashi was the Senbyō: he who was supposed to defend the Earth, did just that. He who was supposed to grow senzu beans, did just that. He who trained the heroes of Earth? That too. The God of Martial Arts, perhaps a bit too much. He who protected the Lookout, who protected the Kami? Only one way to find out. ”It doesn’t matter how many Blue Bro Balls I need. I will fell you if that's what I need to do to bring Yogu back!”And, yet, there was something he said. ’I still need the cat alive, unfortunately’... he played those words over again and again in his head. What did it mean? Why? Why would Monster need Nashi alive? To… to expand the anguish he must be causing a trapped Yogu by killing him slowly, and last? To prove a point, from the Tournament? Or something else. Perhaps he wanted Nashi to get stronger so he could get a better fight out of it. Or perhaps, just perhaps, Yogu had a bit more control than Nashi previously believed. It seemed unlikely, verging on the impossible, but it gave him hope. And then the self-proclaimed alcoholic, Saizomaru, entered the fray. Nashi was surprised by his appearance here: after all, the two only knew each other from a chance encounter at a medieval weaponry convention. But this simple didn’t seem like the same person: while before he was talking about martial art stuff, now he was singing a subpar song. And then, in the corner of his eye, Nashi saw a figure: grand and covered. Presumably these warriors who Nashi didn’t know to know of the Lookout must have sensed Monster’s terrific power and suspected the worst, so for that he was thankful. Unless this guy was also evil, which certainly might have been the case given how menacing it looked. Whatever it was, it was sorta Brute Hale-shaped and of approximately Brute Hale-size. He looked away, afraid that it might have actually been a baddie. Nashi’s instincts were shot beyond a hundred percent when something grabbed his tail. Immediately, he formed a lustrous, long glowing spear of blue power, more powerful than anything Nashi had ever used before, stabbing into… ”Gah, Chime, you spooked me!” The spear dissipated, but its great energies seemed to bubble at the top of Nashi’s ki pool, as if trying to come out… a new feeling, certainly. ”Don’t grab my tail. The nerve endings there are quite sensitive!” Chime wouldn’t have grabbed his tail with no reason, though, right? What was it that he said? Er… Oh! Nashi looked to Monster, then to Chime, then back again. He opened his mouth to speak, but what was he to say in the God with the ‘I <3 Bao’ shirt? ‘I’ve gotten stronger since then’? Perhaps it was so, but an ant greater than another was still but a meal to the anteater. ‘I need to do this’? He didn’t, though, really. Bar two, everyone there was so much greater than he in power. Although, perhaps… ”Yeah.” Yeah, moving away was something they could do, if Monster followed. But leaving it to the big guys, who could so easily kill it, and hence the friend potentially within?
”But somewhere deep within that monster is a hero. Deep down, beyond all the dark, is a hero called Yogu.” Nashi even called him ‘Yogu’, not ‘Yo’ or a humourous mispronunciation. That meant this was Serious Business™. ”And I refuse to give up on my friend.”The fact that this guy was pretty much as strong as Ramen was when she attacked did not faze him. After all, he survived Ramen, right? Speak of the devil... ”... And she doth appear.” Now Ramen was here, and looking all demon-y just as she did when she attacked. ”This day just keeps getting worse and worse, h-wait just one sec.” ‘This place is under my protection’? Was Ramen a goodie now, despite all the red demony-ness? ”O neat.”Wow, Monster seemed pretty boned now. All Nashi had to do now was the impossible: rescue his friend from his demons. From ‘limbo’, as Monster put it. And without any casualties, too, but it looked like Monster had other plans. And then Nashua other plans’d his other plans! Epic.Nashua turned back to the weakboiz and told them to… to leave, to flee? No, he couldn’t do that. Yogu was counting on him. Buuuut! There was something sorta like that that he could do. He could bring the fight away from the Lookout so it wouldn’t get damaged again and so that Mister Elfman and God could think up a plan. ”Oi, Mister Extend-y Eyebrows, ya big demon-hek nerd! I’mma steal all your Saibamon cards!” Nashi jumped in much the same way that a cat would, if said cat could burn a continent with the power of their energy. The jump flowed into flight, away from the Lookout but still within Monster’s sight. Quick, Nashi! Do something attention-grabbing!Nashi dabbed. No, something more than that! ”Everyone, over here, ya bloody cowards! Even you, strange vast veiled figure! Watch this: I’mma yerd this fool! Also come here pls”Nashi massively extended the Power Pole as he brought it down as fast as he could on the beast, all while mentally praising the awesomeness of the word ‘yerd’. Hopefully the other fighters would come closer to him. Not just because it would leave Chime and Typha to think up something, but also because with a bunch of strongbois near him, they’d more easily be able to cover for him if Monster tried to bring down a terrific force upon the godling. Sure, Monster could take them out with a flick of his thumb. But flicking one’s thumb would be a pretty silly thing to do, innit? After all, all he had to do was stand, and to keep standing. As long as he never stayed down for good? He was invincible. ”Hey, er, Saizo, wanna stick near me? I’ll owe you one.”And, perhaps, soon, a bit invincible-r. Nashi uses his Power Pole’s special ability for a free [A1], dealing 103,950PL damage to Monster. Since no KP was used, and since the Power Pole is really hekkin’ awesome,

Saizomaru PL: 1,620,000 (Hokuto-Chikara + Overdrive)
It wasn't long until a few more individuals had showed up to this ballroom dance. A cloaked and masked figure had snuck upon the Lookout as best as they could, although it was no surprise that the others noticed their presence. Saizomaru, on the other hand, knew more than anyone else. His cybernetic vision was more than able to scan this individual's appearance from under all of their attire. He smirked a little. He knew it was someone he could rely on.
When the young Kami showed up, Saizomaru wasn't surprised in the least. It was his home after all. But alongside him at almost the same time was a fiery-red girl who oozed darkness from every ounce of her being. As much as she declared herself a protector of this esteemed place, the android remained cautious. He was not one for placing trust in a demon based purely on words.
But now it seemed this was a time for words—a time that the android had no love nor care for. As the others began to discuss matters among themselves—as well as a few choice words of shade being thrown back and forth between both parties—he kept out and began to ponder things to himself.
"Yogu." That was a name he had heard a short while ago. It took a moment, but it clicked. He was that green-clothed guy back at the docks when Saizomaru was trying to put a stop to an arms trade deal. Ironic that the boy who once interfered in a sting operation was now being interfered with themselves.
But when talks seemed close to coming to a conclusion or compromise, the tall demon was quick to make his first move. At first he went after Nashi, apparently holding back for wanting to keep him alive for reasons yet known. Then, suddenly, he went after the Konatsian. Before Saizomaru could do anything, his super saiyan friend was quick enough to respond by taking the hit for him.
Had she not have been as strong as she was, they both would have likely died in that single hit.
But now it seemed as though the fight was going to pick up quickly. Despite Nashua's warning for everyone outmatched and outclassed by this Monster to flee, they were not inclined to do so. Now it was becoming a balancing act of fending off this demon and defending the others. It was to be a chore, that was true, but it was something that himself, Nashua and the red-haired girl could accomplish if they worked together.
"A'ight, then," the android muttered to himself under his breath. "Time to get this ball rolling."
Nashi was the first to launch a counter attack against this demon. Looked as though that elongating staff of his was useful even for long ranged strikes. He was also right in that the group had to stick together—for the time being, at least.
"Sure. I'm fine with sticking by you for the moment," he replied to Nashi after he had asked for the favour. "Just… don't stand in front of me."
Saizomaru raised an arm in front of him, palm outward. His own aura, couple with the energy that was laden about the air here, began to coalesce into a ball in his palm. Quickly those swirling, spiralling strands of whites and blues had formed into an orb the size of a basketball.
"I would suggest everyone get behind me."
Then, in the blink of an eye, it shrunk to the size of a mere pin head.
"Deva Palm."
That small speck-like form of energy exploded outwards in a tremendous wave of translucent, shimmering force that was enough to almost span half the width of the Lookout, with a height to match.
If there were people who didn't heed both his and Nashi's call to group up, now would be the best time for them to move—quickly.

To Hale's surprise, Monster had gotten what, or at least who he wanted in a short span of time as he saw Chime appear, causing the first full movement of his head from all of the other arrivals. That movement and the site of the Namekian seemed to instantly trigger something as Hale nearly doubled over, grabbing at his cloaked head with one hand and the mask with the other. The entire garment moved as if it would fly off of his body as a large red aura flared all around him for just a brief moment, both his arms moving from his head and hugging around his body as if trying to hold something in as the aura died down and he began to relax and stand up straight, adjusting the mask without a sound. For the briefest of moments he had managed to compose himself as images flashed in his head, but the newest arrival put an immediate stake through the heart of any chance of getting a hold of his state for good.
The mask resting on his face cracked right down the middle as a red energy began to glow through the eyes, nostrils, and now the crack as Hale once more had to reach for it to hold it in place. His eyes were locked onto Ramen and again the energy began to flare, but it didn't simply subside this time, as the ground around him dented as the pressure pushed in all directions. "Protection", he growled out, his voice sounding unnatural and barely similar to his normal voice.
There was something fitting about this scenario and the majority of the actors in this theatrical display of power, even the setting made for a proper backdrop and stage. The robotic mascot for a group of heroes unwilling to act unselfishly and shun Hale's entire race. The god and the naive ape who gathered the power of a dragon to undo damage that lead to an attack on the innocent people he swore and was robbed of the chance to protect. The cat who was the first to witness his true self and walk away. The red haired demon claiming protection of a place she herself had once attacked, and the representation of Hale's fueled hatred. The Konastian who was the only true hero he could see out of the lot of them, and the only one who held no significance to his anger and current state of mind. Then there was the monster, and the one who brought them all together for this climactic moment.
They were all gathered here acting as righteous heroes against one of the few of them putting on no charade, no pretenses, just stating a truth and acting on it given the first chance. How heroic it must have felt to stand together and gang up on the singular being when none of them would do the same against much bigger threats. Protecting a physical structure while ignoring the cancers affecting their entire planet. The heroics only continued as this creature calling himself Monster in what Hale could only further find refreshing, attacked Typha, and Nashua lept to his aid in no real surprise to anyone. Foolishly however the Konastan refused to leave, and more foolish still, the blue cat felt himself in the heroing mood and took his chance to jump in and throw a shot along with a plea that was likely to fall on deaf ears given the situation.
The feeling building in Hale hadn't stopped, nor did the aura surrounding him calm at any point as if the fighting was fueling whatever this was building in him, but what Hale hadn't realized was the unnatural energy of the aura had heated the cloak he was wearing to an extent that it had caught fire, but the flames didn't seem to bother or even alert Hale as he stood with flashes of past situations and conversations burning just as brightly. It didn't take long for the clothing to burn away, leaving a very obvious visage of Hale, but it was one that might have disturbed anyone given a long enough moment to look him over. All of his veins seemed visible and pulsing the same deep red as his biogems and the aura surrounding him. His arm fell loose as both pieces of the mask fell, bounced, and went out of view off of the side of the lookout, leaving the haunting face fully open to the world. A red liquid ran down Hale's face as if the energy was escaping forcefully from his left eye, and a wicked smile plastered and unmoving across his face, showing his teeth bearing like a wild animal. Something was clearly wrong, but to Hale it felt right, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
The fight had started in full, but it was time for Hale to step in and join the party, though he only had two targets in sight as he held up his hand and pointed, moving it between a few people as if making a decision no one else was in on. Slowly it stopped as his teeth parted and for a moment the smile lessened as his cheeks stretched, his legs bending and spreading as he took a step forward, then a second, leaving foot prints with each, and finally his tail slammed into the lookout as he used it for balance and braced himself. The breath he took was oddly loud and visible as he looked to suck in all the energy from his aura into his mouth as his eyes widened and fixated on the red-haired human before letting out an ear-piercing scream and blasting towards her with all of his power, unleashing a wide-coned energy blast from his mouth.

In any other circumstance, Chime would feel bad about pulling Nashi's tail, but this was too serious for any of that. He listened intently as his blue friend told him that somewhere in that, underneath the literal Monster, was Yogu. Chime didn't know Yogu well, personally, but he knew he was a strong fighter, one of the reasons Kanrin had originally wanted the Dragon Balls recreated. On top of that, he was Nashi's friend, and any friend of Nashi's was a friend of Chime's, too. He gave the Senbyo a solid, determined nod back and a look of understanding. They would save Yogu from this demon, whatever it was.
Speaking of demons.
The final fighter entered the fray, heralded by a storm of red lightning. Chime knew that lightning well, he saw it in his nightmares, alongside Nashi, Daruma, and Nashua being vaporized and his own arm being burnt off. Ramen's attack on the Lookout, and the terror that had followed her, had tattooed itself in his memory. His blood ran cold when he saw her coated in that familiar, demonic energy, and he assumed she'd come to destroy the Lookout yet again...but then she spoke. 'This place is under my protection'? Had he heard that right? Ramen wouldn't look directly at him, so he turned to Nashua instead. The golden Saiyan's concern seemed focused wholly on Monster, not her red friend next to her. Maybe she'd gotten some measure of control? He could only hope.
Monster was, apparently, here to assassinate him. Chime was (somewhat ironically) surprised at how not-surprised he was to hear this. People coming to the Lookout to kill him seemed to just be a Thing that happened now, like it was part of the job of being Kami. Before he could even open his mouth to come up with a response, several things happened very quickly: Monster moved faster than he could even track to leap forward and strike Typha, but just as quickly, the golden blur of Nashua intercepted. The energy that flew off them from that clash along was staggering, and Chime wanted to turn and bolt. Nashua even asked them too. But he clenched his fists and shook his head, "It's not about pride!" he shouted back to her, "I can help! And besides, it's my house he shot the roof off of!"
When Chime turned to his side again, Nashi was already gone, flying off the side of the Lookout and launching an attack at Monster to distract him. Chime took to the air to follow him, but first stopped to hover at Typha's shoulder, "You okay? That was close. I have something but I've...never tried it before. Better than nothing, right? I know I'm a hypocrite but...get out of here if you can. I meant it when I said you don't owe me." And with that he zipped off to the edge of the Lookout, where Nashi was doing some strange dance move. Saizo had joined him, and was charging a scarily powerful attack. Chime picked up his pace through the air as he panicked a bit.
"Wait!" He shouted to Saizo, "Are you crazy?! You're going to take the Lookout along with--" and there went the Deva Palm. He scrambled to unapologetically hide behind Nashi as the android's attack surged forward towards the remaining fighters on the Lookout floor. Through the light of it he could see that cloaked figure, now clearly Arcosian as his disguise fell away, even at this distance. Chime thought it was a stranger at first, he didn't know any Arcosians with red bio-gems, after all. But that scream, and the deafness that followed, was hard to mistake for anyone else. Somehow, that was Hale down there, and somewhere along the line, things had gone very, horribly wrong. Chime couldn't interfere with the attacks that were flying, not even if he wanted to, so instead he squeezed his eyes shut and concentrated. All present, save for Hale and Monster, would hear the Kami's voice in their heads.
"I have an idea! Something I can do, magic! It should work...in theory. But you'll need to keep them off me so I can pull it off. And please, do not kill them!!"
