She felt a connection as her arm swung, and instinctively she grunted and slapped at the ground triumphantly for a moment, looking over to see where her target had landed. Her large eyes started to narrow seeing him still on his feet, and if she were of the right mind in this fight to think ahead this would have been her chance to stop and take stock of the situation between the two. The problem was, she had no control over her own thoughts or actions, and her large form planted a foot with the intention of charging right into Cress for what wasn't the first and likely not the last time in this fight. Problem number two of being full on monkey brain was how she would have reacted to such an attack coming her way so suddenly, releasing her own attack, trying to dodge out of the way, or at the very least not leaning into it face first.
Monkey brain Kuma however did just that, leaning its head down as if it was just going to run through the blast, finding itself taking a blinding light right to the left eye and just as her foot had lifted, sending her spinning and landing right on top of the truck that Cress had showed up for in the first place. There was one thing to say for Oozaru Kuma, and her instincts were at least to a degree based on habits of fighting over the years, so while Kuma wasn't in control, it was still her body and muscle memory. The large ape held its hand up much like Kuma had when she was charging her power ball earlier that started the fight, however it continued to grow in size exponentially, leaving a partial shadow over Kuma's body as she stayed planted on the truck barely sitting up as the ball hovered above her hand. It wasn't until she let out a mighty grunting roar and tossed the ball that she got back to her feet and watched the massive ball of energy heading towards Cress.

Cress laughed as he knocked Kuma off her feet due to her lack of proper balance. Even I have enough common sense not to do something like that, even when I was out of control. Cress preferred to do a lot more blasting than Kuma was doing while he was out of control in his bestial form though. Too bad he couldn't remember most of it, otherwise a wave of memories would flood his mind with past events that would be nostalgic for him. Cress shot into the air and watched Kuma land atop the truck he came here for, and with her massive weight she crushed it. Cress didn't think much of it, knowing the gold would only be flattened and not outright destroyed, unless they were to unleash some high-powered ki attacks.
His right hand raised as ki concentrated atop it as he prepared to fire on her once more. Kuma would beat him to the firing part, though, launching an attack so massive it cast a shadow over her body. Cress tossed his own attack at it and hunkered down, shielding his front with his arms and ki. Kuma's attack made contact, and Cress defense held up well against it. This resulted in Cress only being left with minor burns from it. His view of Kuma now unobstructed, he'd taunt her. "Is that the best you can do?!"

Common sense was not something this form of Kuma had in spades, as if it was taking the primal urges of Kuma in her normal state and turning it up to eleven and placing it under a microscope. This could have been a fight for her to truly enjoy regardless of how it started, but unfortunately not one she would remember regardless of the outcome. The great ape however was throwing some what of a temper tantrum from Cress still standing, believing itself much stronger than anything around, and growling and slapping at the ground in frustrations. It's fighting style was nonsensical at best as it seemed to just want to hurt Cress, when a full on energy attack could have done significantly more damage, but logic wasn't figuring into what you could barely call a strategy.
Slowly Kuma's ape form began to crowd down in a squat position and sprung up quickly launching straight up into the air, though not nearly as far as it would have seemed from the liftoff, and spread its body out as if it were going to belly flop into a pool. Reading its maximum height it was now descending rapidly over where Cress currently stood falling with the intention of flattening him and anything else under the ape's large frame.

Cress looked down at Kuma, watching her squat down and jump to where he was. "Jumping up here? I'll just knock you back down!" He wasn't able to follow through with that threat though. She wasn't jumping to meet him, she was jumping up higher than where he was at. Not too much distance in between them now, she let herself fall over him. Realizing what she planned on doing, Cress quickly reacted and began to race toward the ground, out-speeding her fall with the use of ki flight. Cress skid to the side, parting the dirt along his travel path. "You're capable of doing more than that, aren't you? You're going to have to actually try if you want to hit me!"Maybe she'll actually get serious if I get her more angry than she already is. Cress laughed and shot another one of his basic attacks, the 'Searing Ray' attack, at her.

Her large frame crash landed on the ground with a thud and a sound somewhere between pain and anger, seeing before she even landed that she had missed, but the large ape made no attempt at slowing her descent. She was absolutely capable of more than she was showing, but the fact was there wasn't much she could do to show it unless the ape grew a few more brain cells. It was hard to tell if her great ape form even understood what he was saying, as it didn't give as much as a grunt towards Cress as she stood up, but she was absolutely focused solely on him. Both of her arms had raised, but never did her gaze leave Cress, but the energy glowing and growing between her palms had momentarily obstructed her view of him. Her muscles flexed as she looked as if she were trying to crush the ball between her hands, and the massive sized energy blast she had thrown earlier looked as if it was in fact being shrank forcibly. It was without a doubt still large compared to what it would have been in her normal form, but it was less than half the size it started, now floating above just her right hand, still her stare hadn't left Cress. His attack was launched, but hers was ready in a short span of time, tossing it forward like a massive baseball towards Cress, but directly into the path of his Searing Ray.

While forming his attack he took note that she was forming her own, but kept the same technique even though he could tell this attacks power would be greater than the last one. A compressed attack would be far more powerful than just a regular attack. "That's it!" In the split seconds that followed their attacks met, and his was being overcome rather easily by hers. Cress stopped fueling his own attack and held both hands out to stop the compressed ball in its tracks. Pain shot through his hands and arms as he held out against the attack, letting its power die down before it finally decide to dissipate. It'd left its marks, the front of his hands darkened, burned, and even bruised a bit. While it may have hurt a lot, it was nothing Cress couldn't handle. "Nice attack! Let's see how you like mine." His aura suddenly began to grow more intense than before.
Cress grit his teeth as he began to build energy up in his hands. He let out a groan as he clapped them, caused by the damage already done to his hands, but as he pulled them apart a vibrant red ring of ki appeared, being pulled apart and growing in side as the space between his hands grew. This was his ultimate attack, the "Kill Driver". When using this technique it didn't cause damage to pull from his reserves. Cress put some distance in between the two for the fear of being caught in the massive explosion that it'd cause. While unleashing a loud yell the saiyan warrior would toss this attack at Kuma, causing one of the biggest explosions the two possibly had ever seen before. If she still stood after this Cress would rush into the cloud of smoke and grab her by her tail with the hope he could paralyze her until his ki returned.

Her ape form was heavily breathing as she stood across from him, body rising and falling with heavy breathes as it watched the impact while catching its breath. She had expended her energy in such a way that she was tiring herself with minimal gains, causing her to stop her wild assault for the moment, and unfortunately long enough to leave time for Cress to return an attack she wasn't prepared for. Her teeth were starting to show as she growled, standing up and beating her chest with her fists, letting out a growling yell at the top of her lungs more so to intimidate than show emotion, but there was no real chance of that working, but in her state she had no way of piecing that together.
By this point her adrenaline was starting to fade, and the attack she had taken earlier to her leg was coming back to haunt her the moment she tried to shift weight and run, nearly falling to her knee and stopping. By this point Cress was ready to put an end to the fight, and Kuma in this state had no way to stop it, but she would make a pointless effort all the same. Her hands raised chest high as Cress clapped and began pulling his palms a part, charging the much larger ball of energy she has formed earlier and again tried shifting her weight to run, falling to her knee and barely managing to throw the attack, though it went flying far over Cress' head, no where near hitting him. His attack however was heading right for her long before she was able to make it back to her feet to do anything useful about it, feeling the searing pain hit her chest and the hard landing of the ground on her back and the back of her head. By the time Cress reached Kuma to grab a hold of her tail she was out of the fight, transforming back to her Saiyan state right in front of him and not making any attempt at moving even before she was paralyzed by the grab.

Cress stood over his downed opponent, taking heavy breathes as his ki slowly began to come back. Her tail in hand, he looked down at Kuma, who laid on the ground that was split and ruined by the explosion. A large plume of smoke surrounded them, but the feint aura that surrounded him kept it from swallowing them whole. Without much concern for how she felt right now, Cress lifted her by her tail and shot from out of the smoke, landing somewhere with fresh air. Does the gold remain even after all that? He'd find out later, but for now his attention shifted back to Kuma.
She was still alive after that, so she must have been pretty strong while in her transformed state. "Good fight." His grip on her tail loosened, letting it and her drop to the ground. "I don't know how hard I hit you, but do you need any medical attention? I don't want you dying here." For probably the first time this fight he showed a small hint of concern. It would be a damn shame to let a strong saiyan like her die here, even if their ideologies didn't match up. |

Kuma was conscious, but calling her fully aware would have been generous at best. She was coming out of her transformation daze, and she had no idea what had just taken place after she had thrown her power ball and started to transform, so to find herself in this situation was only adding to her disorientation. She couldn't move, but being upside down made realizing what was going on take that much longer, though she noticed after a few too many moments that she was building held up by her tail, and by Cress no less. Seems she lost the fight, and yet again she had no control over the Oozaru and yet again it pissed her off. She knew the strength it had, but what good was it if she had no control over it and it lost her every recent fight she tried using it.
Her eyes darted around trying to see what was left of the area and was glad to see it wasn't gone at least, but there were enough destroyed trucks and craters to let her know it wasn't a friendly contest of a fight. He spoke and her eyes darted towards him, not even catching herself as she crumpled on the ground like a rag doll when dropped, but she slowly started to stir, able to look back up at him with a scowl. She could feel the effects of whatever had happened and knew he must have blasted her with a strong attack given the pain, but he didn't look without a bit of battle damage himself, so at least it wasn't one-sided from her estimation. "I ain't gonna die.", she snapped back, more wounded pride than anything else. She had worse, but they were weaker at the time as was she. Slowly she managed to get to a knee, but she wasn't moving anywhere in a hurry regardless, and if she could still move she didn't need help in her mind. To her she could have kept fighting, but the truth was she likely couldn't have summoned the energy to throw a ki blast without passing out. "You didn't kill me, I'll give you that much.", laughing a bit as she managed to get to her feet, wobbling as if she would fall at any moment, one eye barely staying open. "How'd I do? You ain't dead either, so I guess not so good.", reaching out as if she was trying to catch herself, but there was nothing but air, leaving her to fall back to one knee.

"Good." Moving along, Kuma began to move again, the effects of him squeezing her tail only a moment ago beginning to wear off. "A little longer and I definitely could have. I have no interest in killing you though." Cress watched her shake, barely keeping herself on her feet. If she happened to fall Cress would not catch her, she'd have to tough this one out. "You did alright. Managed to give me some burns and hit me pretty hard one time. The fight didn't last very long though." Just as he thought she would, she did indeed fall. "Since you have no more fight left in you I'll go get what I came here for." Turning and throwing up his hand to signal goodbye, Cress walked back over to where the truck was. Grabbing the tail end of it, the saiyan would lift the truck into the air to take it back home with him and scavenge what he could from it there. If Kuma had anything else to say now would be the time to say it.

"Guess I should thank ya, but eh. ", shrugging and grimacing as she grabbed at her ribs, not trying this time to get back to her feet. She was in no shape to do much but what she was doing, and she assumed she wasn't going to get any help. If Cress tried she truthfully wouldn't have accepted it as her pride was wounded enough, and the best he would get was a hand slapped away and a glare. "I gotta stop using that transformation, figure out how the hell to control it, or get strong enough not to have to. It pisses me off. I know it's strong but what's the point...", shaking her head and failing for the mere moment she tried to straighten her leg, giving up instantly. "I didn't figure it would last long either way. Most of 'em don't. Either I win fast or I lose fast. If you are trying to hurt someone why take your time." It had always worked for her in the past, but it hadn't worked in a long time and she was on the receiving end of the loses more often than not. All she could think was that maybe she really was weak, even weaker than she thought, and some of what Cress had said to her earlier was true. If she was this weak she really didn't deserve to be wished back, but here she was, so it was time to grow a pair and stop pouting about it. "I could still fight if I wanted to!", she snapped, brought out of her momentary thoughts to glare at Cress as she pushed through the pain and stood up to face him, but she could feel sharp pains through her entire body with every muscle flex. Her leg moved and she took a step, then a second, and immediately collapsed face first unconscious.
