Unsurprisingly, neither Cress nor Kalabas were able to either anticipate or avoid Nashua's quick tackle, and the three of them barreled down towards the ground for quite some time until they finally came to a halt a few dozen meters above the planet's surface. It was much easier to breathe down here, Nashua had to note. She wasn't sure how bruised, or even conscious Cress and Kalabas were after she'd slammed into them like a truck, but now they were at least away from the immediate danger of the battle. "Alright, listen," she stated, her voice stern, but calmer than it had been before. "That was what you'd call, uh... 'Tough love'." That was the term for it, right? ...She was about eighty percent sure, but she'd have to go look that up later. "Aizu and Kraktus are both infinitely stronger than the two of you, and I don't want either of you dying."
She cast a side glance over towards Kalabas and his... Ghostly complexion. "...Well, I don't want Cress dying." Nashua folded her arms across her chest and turned her head up towards the three fighters way up in the atmosphere. Kayen was strong, but Kraktus was also kind of close to her level. And if him and the Arcosian Lord were to work together to try and take her down, there was a chance they could potentially make some real progress. And Nashua wasn't a fan of having any casulaties, especially the woman who had only been Queen for less than a year. "And I don't want Kayen dying either, but you two and your egos have kind of forced me to leave her all by herself with those two nincompoops. I know you're guys, and you don't like being shown up by girls and all, but..."
Nashua let out a sigh and shook her head. "Like, come on! Grow a pair or two. You'll get your chance to prove your macho-ness later, but now is not the time for that. Maybe you don't care if you get killed, but other people do. I do. So, do me a favor... And follow your superior's orders." Nashua approximated there was about a twelve or so percent chance they actually listen to her. It was this kind of muscleheaded stubbornness that had made it so hard to cling on to her peaceful ideals. Everyone always refused to listen to reason, but no one could refuse to listen to a punch in the face. She hated that. And she was starting to hate that she was becoming more like that herself. But it wasn't like anyone else was making this job any easier for her. "...Please," she added, a hint of genuine worry washing over her face.

Constant pain shot through the area where Nashua's attack hit him, and now held him. It also knocked the wind out of him, gasping for air as the trio fell to the city below. Cress braced himself for impact, only to stop bracing himself once they appeared to be slowing down, where-after they'd finally come to a stop. He put a bit of distance even between Nashua, even though it'd barely help if she decided to attack him again. He tapped his chest, wincing from the pain a bit before putting his hand back to his side. "Damn that hurt.", he thought.
Nashua tried reasoning with the two again, it was clear she didn't want to fight them. It was upsetting to listen to, but there wasn't much he could do about that. "That's the entire point, Nashua! When a saiyan is pushed to his limits he gets stronger, am I wrong? I've faced many opponents that had enough power to put mines to shame, and I could have died multiple times over by this point, but I still stand here, ready to fight again! If I didn't fear death then, why would I now? At the end of it all I've always come out stronger, and that is my goal... to become as strong as I possibly can... and If I can't do that then I have no purpose in this life.", he responded.
Cress stopped, taking a breath of air before letting out a deep sigh, folding his arms. "This is a waste of my time. You have no intention of giving me a proper fight and I won't get into Kayen's fight. I'm sure she wouldn't want you to either." Still hovering in the air, he did a 180 turn. "Let's just go, Kalabas. There's more action to be had elsewhere.", Cress finishes. His aura flares out around him as he shoots off into the distance, attempting to leave the battle.

Kalaboo phased through Nashua's grip, hovering in place with eyes set on Cress as he managed to get a footing. They had barely just landed and the Shikkian already clutched his chest, hurt by a tackle meant only to push him. If Nashua had blood on her mind she would have crashed the two down to the planet's core rather than slow down and simply let go, but Kalaboo still worried. Indulging his comrade's thirst for battle was a clear mistake, he was not a super saiyan, not even an oozaru, and ready to battle someone who could vaporize him with as little as a breath. 'Tough love' was certainly a funny way to put it, no? Heavy-handed, more like. Accusations of treason, the threat of exile, all of it to stop the shedding of saiyan blood. If only it hadn't worked... Exile still had its appeal, romantic as it was Kalaboo wondered how life would be without any attachments or oaths anchoring him down to this cycle that only seemed to earn him loss and humiliation. Dullahan, Chill, Chard... and Belle. But serving the Empire and then the Kingdom had earned his forefathers boundless glory and honor, even his own contemporaries appeared elevated by it, made great and powerful even now that Vegeta and its people were returned. A people's zenkai, as he had prophesied not a day after the Fall, one that he had joined in body but not in spirit. The fault was not the Kingdom's or even of those in power, was it? This he knew, only those that wished him dead would win aught if he were to turn on Nashua. He saw Cress take to the skies, resigned and seeking combat somewhere else. He had an entire planet to choose, and Kalaboo would follow him soon after. He had something to say first. "He would have thrown his life away if it weren't for you, gladly. And I would have done, did the same." Kalaboo landed beside Nashua, his stance wary but not aggressive "I have some... unfinished business to attend to, the kind that would not wait for a second resurrection... Thank you." he took a step away, turning to the direction Cress had flown "I trust you to make sure our Queen does not end skewered by that overgrown squid. I will see to his rage, make sure it is tempered. We stand much to lose, should he attack any noncombatant." Kraktus had brought a ship to Earth, Vegeta and Namek, it was fair to assume that it and the rest of the General's fleet should be somewhere planetside. If nothing, it would be a welcomed let out. Ki exploded from under Kalaboo' feet, sending him flying away. Attempting DE Exit

What was so appealing about getting yourself killed in the name of honor? Nashua could understand it in circumstances such as sacrificing one's life to save another, but... All that would truly be happening if Cress and Kalabas were blown to pieces here would be them throwing their own lives out. Not in the name or service of anything, really. Though they didn't seem to be totally on board with her logic, which she had been expecting, it was a relief to see that neither of them really cared to press the matter any further. And they seemed to have understood her well enough to get that it was best for them both to leave. "Maybe you don't fear death, but your death here would hurt more than just you," Nashua replied to Cress' bold claims. "And being so careless with your life is just..."
She let out a small sigh. She also made no attempt to stop Cress as he made his exit, only making sure he didn't attempt to sneak off towards the battle Kayen was no doubt still having up in the air. He didn't even seem to get close to them, though. Good. Kalabas was a bit more understanding, and Nashua realized she had something to add before he blasted off himself. "Oh, uh, you guys aren't actually, like, exiled. I was just uh, trying to get you guys to listen to me. Just... Listen a little more in the future or you actually will get kicked out. Let Cress know, too." Maybe jumping straight to exiling the pair was a poor decision, but they'd made her pretty mad in the moment with how reckless they were being. Tough love indeed.
After she watched the ghostly form of Kalabas - she still had no idea how he was still alive, though assumed it was something similar to what had happened to Mollusc - head out, she took a few seconds to catch her breath, craning her neck up to look at the fight happening miles above her head. Well, back into the fray, she supposed. After a moment more of recomposing herself, Nashua shot off into the sky at rocket speeds, hoping to get back into the main fight before anything bad could happen.
