While the battle for the fate of Namek raged, a slightly smaller, vaguely less important kicked off, signified by two streaks flying across the sky. While one seemed to be thick and purposeful in its motion, the other was sporadic and floppy, like it'd been tossed this way. The two only stopped when they landed somewhere in the mountain range far from the battle Cress and the other goons were having. Whether or not Korla's landing was choppy, Mumbo wasn't too sure. He himself had trouble stopping before smashing through a trio of mountains. Rolling into a ball can really mess up your sense of speed, 'kay? "Phew! Talk about a flight, eh? Really gets da blood flowin'."Uncurling himself, Mumbo rolled his shoulders. Bones popped audibly back into place. Did he even have bones? Probably not. In fact, those sounds were little clickers he'd placed under his armor for dramatic effect. Hopefully it gave Korla some unease. "Alright, so, since one of us is about ta die-- Probably gonna be you, not ta be a downah or anytin'-- why don't we get ta know one anudda while we fight? My name's Mumbo, I'm the Black Stah Goon. It's great ta meet a uh... Brenchiannnnn...?"Man. This was kinda awkward. Maybe he should just kill her and skip the pleasantries. With a killer flex of his muscles, more armor seemed to stack on him from thin air. What was once a simple undersuit had transformed into thick metal plating. His new helmet even had little holes for his horns to fit through! Magic was thoughtful sometimes, it seemed. With a simple motion, he pulled a cigar from under his armor. Flicking his thumb, he lit the choco-cigar with a flame he conjured, before giving the snack a hearty puff. Chocolate dust sprayed outward, clouding the area in front of him in a vague brown hue.  "You can take da foist swing, if ya want."

Korla regretted not committing more time to researching Majin now, she had never really expected a conflict with one to be particularly likely for her considering her issues in life were primarily with Saiyans, combined with the fact that Majin were not excessively common made it seem unlikely she would need in depth information on them. The bulk of what she knew was that they had almost unmatched regenerative abilities and ALSO tended to be very difficult to harm in the first place. Along with the whole ‘absorption’ thing though that was only a serious danger if she lost this fight. But what she had not realized was that apparently they could roll themselves into balls and fire like a cannon, and for as squishy as the Majin LOOKED he had been anything but when he impacted her and send them both flying through the air, with the little time Korla had she tried her best to power up the jets on her back to slow them down, something that really only helped once the Majin pushed away from her and she was sent flying more directly at the mountain range. Her efforts kept her from probably going THROUGH the mountain but did not prevent her from hitting it and creating a large crater in the side, Korla took the time to pull herself out of the crater and ‘repair’ her armor with an infusion of energy as the Majin spoke to her deciding that now was apparently a great time for introductions. Korla glared at the Majin for a moment “I’m Korla, in all likelihood I’m the last Tuffle” the claim was dubiously accurate depending on ones definition of ‘Tuffle’ while he was mostly machine now Duran was still half Tuffle, and apparently there was a ‘Kid’ out there somewhere though indications seemed to be that he was a parasite. It was also arguable that Korla was barely a Tuffle anymore herself. “I don’t suppose there is any way to convince you to gather your team and leave is there? The others mentioned ‘business’ so if money is your aim I’m sure the Guru could offer far more than that fool Saiyan.” Korla was still visibly preparing herself for the fight, considering the Majin’s eagerness on his arrival she had some doubts that he could be swayed from this job with the promise of different pay.

”Tuffle? Ain’t evah herd ah dem, so yer prob’ly right. Den again, I ain’t neva met whaddevah da hell da dude wit da swoad is so... yknow.”
Mumbo wasn’t sure what to make of his foe. She was strong, but surely he was tougher. What intrigued him though was why she stuck around. The odds were certainly stacked. Did she think she could beat the whole of the Stargoons, as well as Cress? Heroes were wild sometimes, though he supposed if the situation was reversed, he’d probably be doing the same thing. Can’t fault someone for wanting to protect their home.
Korla tried to reason with Mumbo once more, but he shook his head somberly. ”Tanks, but no tanks. I’m evil, but I ain’t a rat. Job’s a job, yknow? No hahd feelin’s.”
He took a long drag from his cigar, then bit down on the front end. The smoky flavor was certainly enjoyable. With one more bite, he finished up his snack, sighing in content.
”If you don’t wanna fight, you’s can just go. Like I said; I’m evil but I ain’t no rat.”
He really, desperately hoped she didn’t take the offer. Rage was bubbling underneath his skin. Dosu’s death was weighing heavily on him. He needed to release some stress.

This Mumbo was… strange, he seemed so casual about everything that it ALMOST felt difficult to hold the attack against him, perhaps it was intentional? A way to get opponents to feel less inclined to go all out against him? Korla doubted she could ever properly get an answer since of course if she asked he would probably just so no regardless. “I don’t want to fight. But I also can’t just let you destroy this planet, it’s become my new home, the fact your attack is lead by a Saiyan only guarantees that I won’t stand down, as long as I can fight I’ll do everything to make sure they don’t take another home from me” Despite the offer Korla got the impression from the Majin’s stance and expression that he WANTED a fight, it actually made her curious why he would even bother offering her the chance to leave. Korla took one last moment to size up the Majin one last time before rocketing into the air taking fire at the majin as she ascended unleashing a rapid stream of blasts from her rifle, with his size and bulk she assumed the Majin likely preferred an up close fight so keeping some amount of distance between them would be good, she REALLY wished she had the time to perfect the technique she had been working on with Oboe, with all the armor and bulk of the Majin it would be great to have armor piercing power on her side.

"Ey, alright. No hahd feelin's if I kills ya."
Well, at least she finally decided to take a swing. With whatever gadget it was she had, the girl fired off a barrage of energy bullets. Smirking, Mumbo snapped his finger, conjuring a big half-circular tube. While dodging some bolts, Mumbo caught others in his tube, causing the bullets to slink down one end and shoot out the other, right back at Korla! Some of the blasts slammed into each other, though a few managed to slip through the crowd and find their way towards their original owner.
Unfortunately, a stray blast dinked the upper chunk of the tube, and the next blast that wormed its way in simply bounced around inside, denting it further. With his new toy busted, he opted for a different strategy.
Whether or not Korla was still firing, Mumbo would fly towards her as speedily as he could manage, aiming to headbutt her. If she was dizzied by the blow, he'd follow up by grasping at her mid-section, pulling her in close, and slamming their heads together again. A third slam would follow, before he'd toss her toward the mountainside once more.

It didn’t take long for the fight to pick up, pretty much the moment Korla went of the offense Mumbo was ready to react creating a strange curved tube with just a snap of his fingers, Korla had little time to really take in what exactly he had done but it seemed unlike what she was doing, her creations were simply energy constructs, her ‘armor’ simply a more tangible form of the energy aura some fighters possessed, but the tube appeared completely ‘real’. Much as Korla might have wanted to find out more, to determine if that was some sort of magical ability similar to what she had seen Namekians do, the tube proved to be more than just a strange creation, it seemed that because of Mumbos own power his creation also possesed significant hardiness as her blasts did not immedietly destroy it, in fact Mumbo was even able to use it to redirect some of her shots back at her forcing the Tuffle to take a few sharp rolls in the air to avoid her own attacks. Eventually though as Korla kept up her offense the tube failed and appeared to be made completely inoperable, ideal as it meant Korla was no longer facing half of her own offense, but what was NOT ideal was that it prompted Mumbo to take more direct action, Korla was quite glad she had put as much distance between them as she had because it gave her a chance to take a few more shots at the Majin as he approached and to ready herself to defend against his attack. The first headbutt was gracefully dodged with Korla contorting her body at an angle impossible for a being with a normal skeletal structure to avoid it, however Korla did not anticipate how fast the Majin could be in spite of his bulk as his second attempt craked against her head leaving her dazed for a moment and ‘destroying’ the energy helmet she had been wearing, the slight buffer it gave her however allowed Korla a chacne to react to the third attempt, but with as little space she had Korla took a risk and boosting herself forward Korla attempted to meet the Majin head on clashing his last headbutt with one of her own.

Though the first swing missed, the second couldn't have landed better. He grinned when he felt helmet hit helmet. It sounded like he even broke her headgear with just a single swing! Not bad, all things considered. Maybe he was getting stronger! As he mused on the idea of one day taking down all of Earth's heroes by his lonesome, he failed to notice that his third headbutt was being countered by Korla doing one of her own.
"Whu--"
Before he could think of a way to fix things, his cranium was met with some serious pushback. The two clashing skulls let loose a shock-wave of Ki on impact, and sent Mumbo back on instinct. His helmet sported a crack now, and it looked like a few of the shots Korla had sent out when Mumbo was charging in had landed, judging by the burn marks on his chestplate. This chick had some power in her corner.
"Nice stuff, Girlie. Ever tink about bein' a mercenary? Could always use anudda Goon."
It was lucky, however, that Mumbo was so durable. The stinging in his head was nothing he hadn't handled before. He fought guys above his paygrade every other weekend.
An explosion of Ki came from the battle they'd left behind. His goons were getting the party started for sure. Would that one guy be able to defend a whole planet? It didn't seem likely, but heroes were weird like that. Maybe he had some kinda attunement with Namek that made him invincible to all evil, or some other wacko magic. Whatever the case, it was best to get this fight over with quick.
Raising his palm, Mumbo's Ki began to build. A little white orb of Ki fluttered to life in his hand, growing in strength slowly. Suddenly, he crushed the orb, and thrust his hand forward... Only nothing came out. A few seconds later, Mumbo opened his mouth, and a beam of white Ki poured from his mighty jaws. Surely the effort wouldn't be enough to stop her from countering, but it'd plant the idea that Mumbo had some tricks up his sleeve, and that was scarier than actually pulling anything wacky off at all!

The decision to respond to a headbutt WITH a headbutt was not typical to Korla’s style of fighting, during the war it would have been foolish to try as a Saiyan would have cracked her head open like a melon, additionally the fact her old height would have made it difficult to accomplish certainly played a part. But with all of her new power came a willingness to try some less than standard tactics. This attempt was.. Well it was TECHNICALLY successful as Mumbo was staggered by her effort but Korla had no real chance to revel in the small victory as she clutched her own head in pain, for as squishy as he seemed to be it STILL felt like smacking her head against a wall, with a surge of energy Korla recreated her helmet as she recovered. “I’ve been a soldier most of my life, if instead of working for one you were planning to kill the Saiyans I might have taken you up on that offer. Hell if it gets you to leave Namek alone I’ll still do it” She was not overly fond of the idea, especially since these ‘Goons’ seemed more than willing to destroy a planet, but it was worth potentially sacrificing her life on Namek to save the planet and it’s people. Korla pulled back as Mumbo thrust his hand forward, the whole winding with the crushing of his own energy certainly SEEMED like it should have cause some sort of big blast only for absolutely nothing to happen as the Majin’s open palm pointed at her, Korla raised an eyebrow as she stared only for Mumbo to launch a blast from his mouth when she thought he was about to make a comment. Korla pointed her arm and by extension the rifle surrounding it at the blast and let her power rush through it, perhaps if she hit back hard enough and made enough of an impact on the Majin he might be willing to take her up on her counter offer. The tip of the rifle burned bright with violet energy as Mumbo’s attack approached before unleashing a wave of power from it consuming Mumbo’s attack and proceeding onward to the man himself.

It wasn't surprising that Korla was able to keep her guard up. In fact, it would have been disappointing if the girl had beefed it from a single blast. The power she was putting out was certainly something. Mumbo hadn't had an even fight in a while; when his blast was pierced by the girl's own, it made him grin. Maybe he'd work up a real-deal sweat!
As the rifle beam soared toward him the Black Stargoon rolled his neck, before his head suddenly fell off! The blast that'd been aimed square for his jaw simply sailed far into the sky, where it eventually winked out of sight. Mumbo chuckled from the safety of his own cradling arm.
"You've got some juice, but..." The Majin clicked his tongue, and made his arm gesture so it looked like Mumbo shook his head. "I dunno. We's already got a full crew. Can't even fit us all in one ship, yknow? Sahrry fer gettin' yer hopes up."
He affixed his head back onto his neck, and shook like a wet dog drying itself to ensure the connection was solid. It wasn't often that he disassembled himself like that, but he'd never say he didn't enjoy the confusion it gave some foes.
"C'man, try sometin' else! I wanna see what you's Tuffins can do!"

Korla watched as her blast missed taking off the Majin’s head as the head in question simply stopped being attached to the rest of the body eventually ending up in Mumbo’s arms and somehow chuckleing despite no longer being attached to where his vocal chords would presumably be… perhaps those regenerative abilities were ALSO linked to some sort of decentralized brain-like structure throughout a Majin’s body? “Your loss” Korla said with a frown, not particularly sad that she was not going to become a ‘Stargoon’ but certainly displeased with her theoretical chance at saving Namek was never really even an option. Mumbo reattached his head with his body morphing back together with it in a manner reminicent to how Korla’s body reformed after attempting to Tuffleize someone, perhaps if she survived this it might be worthwhile to see if she could do something like that. “Tuffles” Korla corrected before rushing forward using the energy construct rifle like a bat as she took a swing at Mumbo’s chest, with his extremities being clearly not ideal targets since they could fairly readily detach it was best to focus on the part of Mumbo with the most mass, the parts that would be most difficult for him to break down to avoid her strike.

Korla didn't take long to start the assault again. Rifle in hand, she swung it wild and fierce like a batter on their last inning. It landed cleanly against the side of his stomach, eliciting a grunt from the Majin. Before she could pull away, though, his stomach would suddenly cut itself open, and the spot Korla had clanked into would attempt to swallow up her weapon and keep it lodged somewhere in the center of Mumbo's mass.
Apparently it was constructed from Korla's own energy, though. Would he even be able to keep it in him? If he did, would it explode and hurt him? No better way to learn than to do it, he supposed.
"You don't fight wit' yer fists much, do ya? Kinda rare in my line o' work. You'd tink most mooks would like, buy mechs or sometin', but usually they take real-deal swings! Good on ya fer tinkin outside da box."
If he had swallowed up Korla's weapon, he'd attempt to shoot it out like a spear by flexing his stomach. If he hadn't gotten hold of Korla's weapon, he'd instead launch a big fat glob of his own flesh at her, in hopes that it'd gum her up long enough to attack.
With either attack launched, Mumbo would shoot forward and try to catch her with another clothesline, this time aimed to send BOTH of them straight through the mountain and deep into its innards. Fighting in the air was kinda boring, honestly.

It was more than a little disconcerting for Korla when her brief feeling of success over having smashed the Majin with her rifle was promptly turned on its head as she found herself unable to remove herself from the Majin, she quickly realized that Mumbo appeared to be consuming her rifle and without really knowing the Majin’s intent Korla half expected it was an attempt to simply consume her entirely. Thankfully separating herself from the rifle was easy enough, she dispersed the energy around her elbow and simply slipped out of the Majin’s grasp before he could get ahold of her as well, she was met by another surprise as Mumbo complimented her style, apparently ranged combat was fairly uncommon as a primary fighting style, during the war it had been more or less a necessity for the average Tuffle, nobody had the raw power to amplify their physical attacks enough to do any real harm to the average Saiyan so alternatives were devised. “Thanks” Korla tentatively accepted the compliment, still not entirely used to having an opponent who was very firmly an enemy, and yet who seemed still invested in being somewhat friendly. Soon after the Majin’s body began to shift as the area where her rifle had been ‘consumed’ began to shift, with a bit of focus Korla could even still vaguely ‘feel’ the energy present within the Majin, energy that soon began to approach as Mumbo fired her rifle back at her, a strange attack but one Korla quickly came up with an idea on how she could try to counter it. The rifle was HER energy and even disconnected from herself she could still feel it, and perhaps, still manipulate it. Korla pointed a hand at Mumbo and the rifle began to glow firing at Mumbo and promptly consumed itself to do so, utilizing all the power it had to launch a blast of energy at the Majin.

Mumbo's face twisted and contorted as he felt the rifle shift in him. Whatever it was doing didn't feel natural in the slightest, and he was a Majin for crying out loud! It was only once his scouter started blaring that he realized something was seriously wrong. Had he noticed a few seconds earlier, maybe he could've done something, but instead he got as far as being able to widen his eyes before the rifle let loose a huge beam of energy.
The Stargoon's chest exploded. Chunks of grey flesh splattered every which way, and the rifle he'd swallowed fell through his wound pitifully, before vanishing entirely. Mumbo choked on his words, astonished at the sheer amount of himself that he'd lost.
"No... No way..."
Shaking his head, he held his breath, and a few seconds later his chest was reformed.
"Now dat? Dat was clevah. Good stuff."
Maybe he needed to take this more seriously far more quickly. He was too used to fighting impossible odds or total chumps. As weird as it sounded, an even fight was incredibly rare. If he wasn't careful, she'd definitely get the drop on him. That'd be kinda embarrassing
Clicking his scouter-shades, he raised a brow at the girl, before calling in support.
"Ey. Any a' you's goons free fer a minute? I could use just a bit a' help."
He was far from ashamed to call in backup. A good fighter knew there was no honor in dying a stupid dumbass while alone. Besides, he was a Stargoon! What better way to show work ethic to his teammates then by swallowing the pride pill and asking for help? Villains needed to stick together, after all.
Whether or not he got backup, he'd continue the assault by summoning a gun of his own. It was a tiny little thing in his hands, and the ammunition he fired was somewhat odd.
Goopy glops of glue flung themselves out of the barrel of his submachine gun, aiming to smack straight into Korla's flesh and gum her up. The added weight and stickiness would make her easier to pin down, and perhaps he could end this fight with a quick bite...

Korla smirked as the blast went off and a massive amount of Mumbos body was consumed by it, were it anyone else she would have already been celebrating victory, after all if Mumbo were say a Saiyan there would be no recovering from such a wound, and as far as Korla could tell most other species would be similarly doomed. MAYBE a few might be able to press on for one last strike but death would still be certain for them. But Mumbo did not belong to any sort of easily killed species, he had already displayed the ability to detach his head, there was little doubt in Korla’s mind that losing part of his body was at best a temporary inconvenience, still though as certain of that fact as Korla was she definitely seemed to have rattled the Majin a bit as he seemed genuinely taken aback. And then he fixed himself. “I aim to please” Korla said with a smirk as she focused her energy once again beginning to reform her rifle as Mumbo spoke, complimenting her before reaching up to his scouter, at first Korla thought it was to get a read on her current power but he quickly proved that wrong by speaking into it, calling for backup. Korla was a bit taken off guard by the call and immediately regretted not firing on Mumbo to destroy the device before he could use it, she was more used to how Saiyans worked, unwilling to accept ‘help’ when already in single combat “and I thought we were having fun with our one on one fight” her frustration was somewhat clear in her tone as Korla commented on the call, she would HAVE to figure out some way to take down the Majin fast before his backup arrived. With any luck it would be one of the weaker ones, maybe the Konatsian woman? She certainly was not ‘weak’ but her power was manageable compared to some of the other heavy hitters. She didn’t have much time to check if any of the power signatures were on the move as Mumbo quickly launched back into the fight creating a weapon from himself and firing… himself? The little ‘bullets’ were made of the same grey goo rather than pure energy like her rifle was, Korla began backing up quickly while reforming her rifle dodging a few of the first ‘bullets’ a few connected hitting her free arm and its shoulder but before the remaining bullets could overwhelm her, her rifle was fully formed and Korla was able to vaporize the incoming bullets with a quick burst of energy. At first Korla was pleased that the few that HAD hit her had caused relatively little harm, but she soon found that causing harm was likely not their main aim as the goo latched onto the outer layer of energy that comprised her armor, some even worming its way in trying to reach Korla herself while the few that had hit her arm had it effectively restrained by stretching and attaching to her chest armor limiting her arm’s movement.

”Sahhry. Fun’s fun and all, but I’m on da clock and dat chump don’t pay by de hour.”
Someone was already on their way, though he was too focused on the fight at hand to really pay much attention. They were strong, but most of the goons had some punching power. At the least, he supposed it couldn’t have been Maple, but Maple hadn’t come with them anyway. That’d sure be a surprise, though.
Mumbo’s gun clicked out one last droplet of goo, before puttering. It was out of ammo. He supposed he could reload, but judging by the girl’s arm, he’d already made his mark.
Maybe he wouldn’t need backup.
The buildup on her arm was nothing massive, but it was enough. If he focused... the Arcosian-like horns on his head twitched, and the gummy material on Korla’s armor reacted. It shuddered, before slowly beginning to expand. It grew and grew and grew, before growing large enough to shadow the girl’s body.
”Yer a tough kid. Can’t hiyah ya’s, but I can prolly make good use a’ da juice yer pumpin’!”
With another command, the slime acted. It aimed to grasp onto her head and envelop her entire form. If it succeeded, it’d attempt to entangle her in an inescapable hold, and pull her toward Mumbo. His own chest had begun reacting, becoming a bubbly mass of shifting parts. If Korla touched Mumbo...
