Time to Bring Fury (Open)

Yunzabit Heights had become sort of a go to training grounds for Ochra. And why not? Secluded, rough enough so as to provide some sense of challenge while he was training, and positive memories about the place. His encounters with Amara here had certainly warmed Ochra up to the place. Which was why he was here now, killing some time with some light training. After all, Ochra wasn't simply going to allow his skills to get rusty, even if he didn't have any jobs or anything to sharpen his skills on. His transformation to Super Saiyan had given the bounty hunter a new sense of drive. It was quite invigorating anyway.

And then his solitary training was interrupted by a couple of voices nearby. He sensed two of them, quite low leveled compared to himself, so not really a threat to him. However, what they were saying caught his interest. Blowing up a space rock, huh? It didn't take a genius to realize what they were talking about. Someone was attacking a planet, with the intention to destroy it. And in the world of Ochra, that was a big no no. At least the second voice had enough reason to say that helping them would have resulted in their deaths, but that was more than enough to get Ochra's attention.

Getting up from the pushups he had been doing, Ochra made his way over to the craggy cliff, looking down and seeing the two figures below. Wait, he recognized them. He had met them before, back on Vegeta. In a bar if he recalled. And now, here they were, talking about planetary destruction. The male of the pair even now talking about killing someone. Well, that was just asking for Ochra to step in.

"And what space rock are we talking about here?" Ochra called out, catching their attention as he crossed his arms over his chest, looking down at the alien duo. If they tried to run, Ochra was fully aware that he could catch them.

Ochra lept down from the cliff he was standing on, landing not far away from the duo, as the bluish alien, Leech wasn't it? decided to try and pick a fight with him. Now, the man was either unable to sense ki, or had a level of confidence that overrode all common sense. If his sister's words were any indication, it was the former as she tried to stop him. As the pair bickered, Ochra remained quiet, waiting for them pair of them to get to the point and answer his question. He fought back the urge to roll his eyes at Leech's attempt at machismo. Who exactly was he trying to impress?

And then, finally, the sister came to the point and answered his question. Namek. Someone was trying to destroy Namek. The planet had suffered enough over the centuries. The peaceful world didn't deserve this. But what she said next caused his eyes to widen in shock. Some goons, led by a saiyan? Why was a Saiyan trying to destroy Namek? Leech's comment about wanting to stay and help them fell on deaf ears as Ochra's eyes narrowed. "And who is this Saiyan?" he said, his voice a low growl as he walked towards them. "Describe them." And the mention of the word goons brought something else to mind as well. "And these 'goons'. They wouldn't happen to include a majin and a konatsian, would they?" He wouldn't put it past them to be involved in this. the Star Goons. Trust that band of psychos to commit atrocities like this. But right now, there was one thing he was worried about.

Was she involved.

Ochra ignored Leech's question about his leg. He had long since gotten over the loss of his leg, and it being mentioned to him didn't bother him anymore. Right now, he was more concerned about learning about who was destroying Namek. The fact they didn't seem to care about the planet rubbed Ochra the wrong way. How would they feel if their world was destroyed? Well, how they felt ultimately wasn't what Ochra cared about. What he was focusing on was Anny's answer to his question. She couldn't give much of a description on the Saiyan. That figures. But she was able to confirm his suspicions about the others. The Konatsian wasn't mentioned, but she did mention a majin. A big one. And Ochra only knew one big, muscular majin. "Mumbo..." he let out a low growl. The Stargoons. They didn't mention a female saiyan, so that gave him some relief that Amara wasn't involved in some horrific mass murder.

He turned away from the pair of aliens, trying to think of what to do. He couldn't get over there and stop it. He could only hope others were able to get there in time to save the planet. He let out a slow snarl, before firing off a blast at a nearby cliff in frustration, sending rubble flying. Another big disaster hitting the galaxy, and he felt absolutely powerless to do anything about it! It was all so damn frustrating!

Ochra took a deep breath, trying to compose himself. Not an easy task since he now knew that Namek was going to be destroyed, and there was nothing he could do about it. Anny's words about Mumbo were...oddly accurate. "You can say that about him," Ochra said, turning back towards the pair of them. as expected, Leech wasn't particularly thrilled with him, and at this point, Ochra could barely care less. As he as he was concerned, he was a braggard who was in way over his head. "Majin Mumbo leads a group of psychotic mercenaries called the Star Goons. They'll cause havoc just for the sake of it, but they'll side with anyone who pays them enough." And now, some Saiyan was hiring them to try and destroy Namek. He was going to beat that information out of them, no matter what. And then, he was going to make that Saiyan pay.

As for what Namek meant to him. "I have friends on Namek," Ochra said, his gaze sharp. "they're a good people. They don't deserve to be blown away by some lunatic and his band of thugs." He gave a sharp look at Leech. Oh, he hadn't forgotten what Leech had said earlier, about wanting to blow up the planet with them.

Ochra quirked an eyebrow when she mentioned a group of the same name from two hundred years ago. Ochra considered himself a bit of a history buff, but that was news to him. He hadn't heard of such a group before their current incarnation. "I can't say I had heard of them 200 years ago. But they've been fairly active recently. They were working with the World Trade Fleet while it was active, and now, well, they're just selling out to anyone who pays them." Perhaps there was more to the Stargoons than he realized. Was there any connection between their current incarnation and the past?

So, the Saiyan gave the people a twenty minute warning to get off the planet. Twenty minutes was nowhere near enough time to evacuate a planet. If anything, the warning was more a sense of mockery. This only wanted to make Ochra deck the one responsible even harder. He hoped Anny was right and that someone strong stepped in to stop the madness. But the fact that it was happening still angered him. What, did they think they were big and bad because they attacked Namek of all places?

And then, Leech continued to run his mouth, talking about how he'd blow up a planet, that he didn't care about lives, and that morals were for suckers. For the first time since this conversation started, Ochra was now paying full attention to Leech. Even after his sister told him REPEATEDLY that Ochra was stronger than him, he was still determined to run his mouth. Was...was he really THAT stupid? It was kind of amazing, really. Ochra slowly looked over at his sister. "How...has he not gotten himself killed yet?" Granted, Ochra would normally beat up on a guy who was so casual about genocide. But he had bigger concerns right now, and it wasn't like Leech could really hurt him.

Well, guess that made some sense. Leech did seem like the kind to run his mouth and expect a response. He remembered their previous encounter at the bar, finishing up with Leech getting beaten up by Scallio. How many fights had he gotten himself into that way? He looked down at Leech, groaning on the floor before looking back up at Anny. At least she seemed to have a decent head on her shoulders. "Well, whether the Stargoons are copycats or not, they're a pretty big threat. A group like that, capable of blowing up planets, running around doing what they want. Someone needs to put them down for good." He mentally made a note to exclude Amara from that assumption. He at least understood her reasonings for joining the Stargoons, and it wasn't for a desire to wreck havoc. How would she feel if she learned her new friends were genociding planets? Well, that discussion would come when it came to it. And if he happened to bust a couple of Stargoon heads between now and then, well, so be it.

He gave the pair one last glance. "Well, I'd better get going. There's a number of things I need to attend to." It should be obvious what these things are. Ochra turned to leave the pair. A part of him felt he should keep an eye on them, but with all the bigger things going on, making sure one smart mouthed alien didn't cause any problems was low on the priority scale.

Ochra gave a small nod. "To each their own," he replied. If they didn't want to get into the fight, that was their decision. Though he made a mental note that if Leech started going around killing people just for the hell of it, Ochra was going to bury him. He was not in a mood to deal with thugs causing havoc just for the hell of it. Not when he had his sights set on bigger fish.

Without another word, Ochra turned to leave. There wasn't any further reason for him to remain here. He kicked off the ground, taking off into the sky.
