It didn’t take long for Cress to get showy. With a huge roar, the Saiyans muscle mass expanded, his Ki along with it. What was once an uphill battle was starting to look like a smooth wall of impassable force. Could he beat this guy? Could he stand up to a single blow? As the energy grew in Cress’ captured palm, the answer was revealed.
Mumbo was thrown back from the explosive force, slamming through one end of a mountain and out the other. His spongey body bounced off the ground, leaving a crater in his wake as he continued. His flight was stopped abruptly as he smacked into the wall of a surprisingly sturdy Namekian household. He groaned, spilling out of the Mumbo-shaped indent and onto the dirty stone road below.
His senses were screaming. It wasn’t often he was pushed this far, and all things considered he should be fine by now. This wasn’t an ordinary fight, though. He’d already pushed his body past its limit from that point-blank brain blast Ramen tossed his way, and it felt like Cress was somehow tougher after eating the bean he gave up. Talk about rotten luck!
Another burst of lava shot from the ground, turning one of the massive walls of the nearby castle in a messy pile of rubble and liquid. It looked like a vicious mixing bowl of cake ingredients ready to cook, only the thing it was cooking was the planet itself.
It took more than a moment to get back to his feet. His arm was vaporized from the shoulder onward, and what remained of his signature armor was little more than scraps.
He tried tapping his scouter on, but no dice. The planetary meltdown was causing some serious interference. If the goons were still close enough to help, he wouldn’t get in contact until it was too late.
”Heheh. Not bad, Pal. Knocked a few screws loose.” Mumbo spit out several teeth, each coated in its fair share of purple blood. ”How many a doze you got left? I can handle anudda I dunno... seventeen? Twenty?”
Mumbo shouted, and suddenly his arm had regrown. It felt like that hurt more than the blast did, but he tried not to show it. His regeneration wouldn’t help him much, but if he didn’t regrow he wouldn’t be able to fight.
Raising both of his hands above his head, the two palms faced outward in a star formation. Black Ki pooled in his hands, growing in strength slowly but surely.
”Let’s see how many YOU can handle, ya punk!”
Pushing as hard as he could, his hands thrust out, and a massive beam of Ki launched itself outward. It wasn’t as strong as Cress’ attack, but it was certainly flashier. Dancing lights traveled alongside the head of the blast, arcing jolts of Lightning this way and that. If the attack hit, it’d cause some sizable damage, but nothing compared to what his opponent pulled out.
In the distance, another explosion rang out as the ground shook violently. Unbeknownst to either fighter, the underside of the planet just caved in...

His Full-Power Raze Flash technique sent Mumbo flying. He expected nothing less from the second strongest technique in his arsenal. A path of destruction was left behind as Mumbo was finally brought to a stop. Cress quickly charged ahead, taking the same path Mumbo had just a second ago. With a loud thud, he'd smash into the ground across from where Mumbo had landed. "On your feet! We don't have all day." It took Mumbo a while, he was in really bad shape after being hit so hard. If it were Cress looking like that, he'd have been dead.
Mumbo finally spoke, and would get a response to his question during his regeneration. "That's because I'm not trying to kill you." He said with a grin. "Enough talk." The time they spent talking was time they could've had fighting. He watched Mumbo prepare his attack and made no effort to move. He could take it, the ki required to dodge could better be used elsewhere.
His attack was flashy, but no where near as powerful as his was. It exploded upon hitting his torso, pushing him back and leaving a plume of smoke rising around him. He grit his teeth, but by the time the smoke was dispersed by his raging aura. "If that's the best you can do you're wasting my time."
Cress kicked off the ground and quickly flew in the direction of Mumbo's ship and quickly flew off in it's direction. Once he'd made it there he'd force open it's hatch, and when the unconscious trio of 'heroes' were in his view, he'd use his "Searing Ray" technique to end Typha. Next would be Korla and Vuzel, keeping his promise at the start of the fight. Ashis would be spared, if anything came of his attack. After this his muscles would shrink down and his aura would calm, but it'd take a moment for them to go all the way down.
Cress takes 55% damage from Mumbo's attack. He's at 133% damage total.
He fires [A1] Searing Ray (920,937 DMG) at Typha to kill him.
KP: 2/7 > 1/7

This was bad. Real bad. Sure his attack landed, but it barely slowed the jerk down. Taunting and goading, Cress bolted as another burst of lava erupted. He was heading back for the ship?! Talk about a snake move! Mumbo moved forward, but stumbled, falling to a knee. He was far worse for wear than he'd realized. Could he make it back in time? Eyes clenched, he pushed himself up, and burst through the air. Wind and debris whipped past him as he tried desperately to catch up. Everything in his body was telling him to slow down, but he tried anyway. He was Majin. He was The Black Stargoon! His job was to protect. Good or not, Typha couldn't die today. The ship sat above him, Cress only just finishing to unhinge the hatch with a single motion as Mumbo entered the scene. Horror filled his eyes as he watched the bright red beam explode outward. A bubble formed around him, and he pushed himself harder than he'd ever gone. Too little too late. His barrier did indeed block the beam, but only after it had punctured Typha. The explosion let loose a plume of smoke and dust; enough to cloud Mumbo's vision, but he didn't need to see to know he'd failed. He could feel that in his gut. At best, he'd saved his ship, but the Konatsian was done. Blood poured from the wound in his chest, polluting Mumbo's boot. "Damn..."Mumbo looked away. He couldn't bear to see it. This guy was a champ through and through. The other goons had entrusted him with protecting this loser-- making sure he repaid his debt. Why did he always fail? There were no words for his foe. They were both villains, after all was said and done. Neither of them could convince the other of any silly notions like mercy. Mumbo knew he was no Carro. He couldn't use diplomacy or taunts or... anything. Strength of will was his expertise, and that had failed him. He sniffed hard, hiding the tear he'd let out by turning away. Solemnly, he watched the planet melt from the window.

There were six in the ship, and once the smoke cleared it was down to five. The deed was done, the King of Konats was no more.
He looked up at the majin as a word with no target left him. Cress remained silent, choosing to look back down at Typha instead. He approached the lifeless body, ki pouring from his right forearm and solidifying itself into a transparent blade. One swipe later and off came Typha's head. Had it not been for his ki immediately cauterizing the wound, this section of Mumbo's ship would've been a bloody mess. "I told you what would happen." He caught Typha's head by his mohawk. "Only Typha would have died had you of listened."
Cress went over and grabbed Korla, dragging her to the ships hatch. Holding her unconscious body over the edge, Cress would use his "Searing Ray" technique again to finish her off. "I moved her so I wouldn't blow a hole in your ship." He let the body fall after that. "I won't kill the namekian, tell Bamboo to enjoy her toy."
He summoned his spacepod with it's remote. It rapidly descended until it was on an even level with him and Mumbo's ship. The hatch opened. "See you soon." Cress jumped from one hatch to the other, spinning his body and planting himself in the cushioned seat. He sat Typha's head between his feet and began putting in coordinates for Earth.

Mumbo flinched involuntarily at the sound of the next blast. Korla was gone, too. Instead of retorting in any way, he simply continued to stare. Half of Cress' words didn't even register, save for a select few:
"I told you what would happen."
His brow furrowed, and the light spasm of rage tickled his nose. Even though he wasn't looking Cress' way, he tried his best not to show emotion. Maybe he was afraid to see his own reflection in the window. To see how weak he was. Crying over some heroes? The thought sickened him.
"Mm."
He half-nodded his head at his employer's words, eyes locked firmly on the castle in the distance. The last legs it stood on finally buckled, and the black fortress fell to dust. It was swallowed by the endless storm. Was that Mumbo's fate, too? Maybe the Goons would be better off without a worm leading them. A worthless bastard like him was meant to be a lackey. A follower, not a leader! Where was Maple now? Under his guidance, this would never have happened.
Mumbo turned, walking slowly to the cockpit. He was on a sort-of autopilot now, walking without purpose. He knew he had to get the ship moving, but the effort almost felt too much. He should just die here. His goons would never have to know how badly he failed. Maybe they'd think some other goodie ambushed him. Something better than... This.
The ship whirred to life.
The hatch closed behind Cress as he stepped out.
As the last building crumbled below them, Mumbo's ship blasted off...
Exiting with Vuzel, Typha's Corpse (headless) and Ashis.

With the coordinates for Earth in, he pressed the launch button. The hatch to his space-pod closed, leaving him looking at the world through a red tinted glass. Not that it changed much, everything was already red. The ship shot up without hesitation, blasting off into space a good distance before he'd stop the ship a good ways off from the planet. It turned to face it again, its hatch opening and allowing Cress to stand at its edge. He looked out at the dying world... Hopefully it'd be his last time ever setting foot on it. He hoped what had happened here would stay permanent. He brought up his hand, and from it poured ki that would encase him and his space-pod. Then the planet would explode, producing a blinding flash of light before fading away. Pieces of different sizes smacked into his barrier for a couple of seconds, and then there was nothing left. He pressed a button on his scouter, saving the recording. He sat back down and his shield faded just as the ships hatch shut again. Over the next few hours he'd remain in stasis, awaiting arrival back on Earth, where he'd find he was the only one left of his team.
