He wasn't able to put a dent in his face for long, the massive blue monkey found himself launched off Auber and plummeted in the water once again, and somehow the pain signals registering to his back is not as prominent. The blue-haired boy wonder scrambled back on his feet, he is nowhere near done with this battle. Shining red eyes latched unto the sight of his dark brown kin, they represented frustration, desperation, and determination. Auber is going to feel immense pain one way or another, he can't delay the inevitable forever. "Oh they're leaving? Thank Kami, after this I'm going to find food and a fresh change of clothes, I hope the locals don't mind I crash here for a bit, without a ship I can't go home" telepathically replying to LEO. It's going to be pretty awkward running around in tattered pants, he wondered if the inhabitants sell outfits made from an elastic material. The planet is no longer in danger, lifting a hefty weight from his shoulders, all he has to do now is concentrate on this fight. Russé sprouted a toothy smile and swatted away the incoming Ki blasts, he slammed a foot in the water causing a series of large splashing geysers of ocean liquid rushing at Auber. Attempting to either blindside him in confusion or fling water in his eyes. Regardless of the outcome, the blue monkey dashed for his enemy and clamped his fingers together, attempting to wack him in the face utilizing a hammer fist, applying extra force by following up with a powerful spinning back punch. He can sense an overwhelming power from LEO+Carro who came to observe the fight, a comment about his progress earned him an annoyed eye roll, he knew she meant well but it's pretty embarrassing he is unable to leave a damaging mark on this above-average saiyan. "I'm aware, he's really tough but I'll get him LEO, I just have to be patient" mentally replying to the droid. As soon as he regains his stamina, he's going to hit him with everything he's got!

“Well, seeing as you’re also still relatively untouched, I think everything’s gone quite swimmingly.”
After a couple more moments of time spent in flight, the charismatic bartender extraordinaire finally had made it over to where Russe and Auber were having their own fated rivals showdown. Something that he and Scallio seemed set on having, until, well, things didn’t go to plan. But then again, they rarely did, so what did Dion really expect? Either way, the golden gilded primed Saiyan male landed softly right behind the Carro/Leo fusion, a dull, yet all the more optimistic gleam once again within his gaze as he made his way right next to the two. He overlooked both Russe and Auber from atop their small perch of power, patting Carro on the back as he said, while reverting back into base form, seeing as there was no real threat here to have to be at full strength for at the moment, “I’m glad you’re doing alright Carro- you did have me a tad bit worried, going off to fight the queen all by yourself. But I should’ve had more faith in ya- you sure as hell showed her what for in the name of good ol’ Earth.”
His attention now slowly diverting itself entirely on the battle in front of them, Dion crossed his arms, looking upon the two with a calculative glare as he asked Carro, “So, how long are we gonna let the youngins bang it out-? I assume the guy facing off against Russe realizes his forces are making a quick getaway? Unless he’s attempting to pull a Kalabas, and go down with the rest of ship in a large bang?”
He hoped that the former rather than the latter was the case here- Dion didn’t wish for anymore blood to be spilt unnecessarily in this overall pointless conflict. He was still trying to wrap his head around Scallio being done in by his own mother, and was already not the happiest over allowing the entirety of the Stargoons force and Kalabas get away scot free. Not only that, but it seemed as though he went on and pissed of Yogu as well in the long run- with him shooting off in a completely different direction than the rest of them.
Overall, while they all seemingly escaped basically unscathed, emotionally and mentally, there was some fixing needing to be done.
But first, might as well get this last conflict over with.

Auber once more stomped the urge to smile with satisfaction at his sucessful endeavour, he couldn't let his ego distract him now, Russé has failed to land a meaningful blow but that could change at any time, especially with his newfound power, Auber has to play it careful.
With this, he quickly used his arm to swat away the remnants of ocean water coming at him from Russé's splashing activities, his arms being quick enough to block him from the hammering blow, however his side was unguarded from the spinning punch that sent him back a bit.
Auber would have been all too happy to continue their legendary battle, however his senses picked up two new powers, one was colossal in nature, the other was noticeably smaller but still vast, the former turned out to be Hofferson and his pet, robotic cat, Auber vaguely recalled seeing the cat before.
His thoughts drifted to the other spectator, another Saiyan from the looks, and one whom had achieved the Super Saiyan form, as he powered down from it to continue watching, Auber recalls this one as the altruist from earlier who gave a modest and heroic speech.
Auber had gotten irritated at that point, he didn't know about his blue opponent but Auber disliked being spectated as if he was a child on a playground, besides, even if he did win against Russé, he would still have to deal with the spectators possibly becoming aggressive.
What buzzkills, and they were having such a fight too.
It didn't matter, in the end, Auber got what he wanted he supposed, and there's nobody to say they couldn't continue their fight, so, with that in mind, Auber tapped a few buttons on the device he used earlier to become a Great Ape, the blutz waves suddenly dissipating.
With their absence, Auber began to revert back into his more human-looking form, arms crossed throught the process, emphasing his fine control over the transformation, once all was done and over with, Auber opened his eyes to look at Hofferson, Dion, and finally Russé.
"I give up."
Auber awaited their response, preparing for the blue-haired Saiyan to continue attacking even with his surrender, of course, Auber wasn't giving up out of actual defeat, he was merely pulling the plug on a fight that he thought others considered playing.
His tail weaved from there and to slowly, as he spoke once more "If this is as much of a disappointment for you as it is for me, then we can simply continue this at another time." He suggested towards Russé, silently hoping the hybrid had enough control over his form to take his words in.

The fusion's idle gaze remained trained on the two as they further exchanged blows. What was an intense fight for the two apes was moving in slow motion for the much stronger android, as they eventually slipped out of their defensive stance to instead sit on the rocks with a tired sigh. In the distance, they could feel the remaining powers of the Stargoons and the others breaking apart, leaving the two Oozaru's fight the only one left ongoing.
With Dion's subsequent arrival to further ensure nothing could go awry, the feline fusion's head perked up. Carro's conscious found it odd to look down onto his friend- this ten-foot cat-form easily dwarfed the other saiyan. "I wouldn't describe it as "going off" to fight her." Their voices mingled in equal parts exhaustion. "More like she just tried force us into giving her a "serious fight" because she could. But to put such a trivial, selfish priority first when an entire planet's at stake..?!" Both androids' voices started to descend into frustration again. No matter how much Carro tried to put himself in the Queen's shoes or how much LEO tried to discern a logical, objective reason to Kayen's choices, neither could understand. Still, they both managed to compose themselves with another huff. "Thinking about it gives me a headache, so let's not dwell on that right now..." Carro never wanted to hurt anyone like that ever again. His head was really starting to hurt, and that odd, heavy sinking feeling in his chest still lingered. He hoped that was just the fatigue from overheating.
As for the other two fighters, the duo hummed in thought as to what to do. Russe was insistent on finishing things, but before either of the watching warriors could settle on what to do, Auber made a decision for them- he was giving up. "Huh." Finally, someone with some common sense about timing fights. "...Well, that answers that." Now they could only hope Russe would have the same common sense to drop the fight as well...

Russé watched his enemy it felt great his efforts are working, his initial attack was blocked sure but that back fist HAD to sting. He felt his energy rejuvenating to maximum power, just need a little more juice to end this fight once and for all! The blue homo sapien relish the idea of defeating this guy in one fell swoop, a fantasy plagued his mind with such violent thoughts, the line between his daydreams and his next course of action in the real world, will falter and cease to exist. Russé began to open his mouth and gathering energy particles preparing a Chou Makouhou, however, he detected another spike in energy causing a delay of his action entirely. The arrival of his bartender friend, who intended to obverse their battle meant he has finished his business with the goons. Following this Russé didn't anticipate his opponent's course of action, it wasn't an attack nor was it a taunting restore, the man decided to give up the fight due to the presence of Russé's comrades. Well that is anticlimactic He can understand why he threw int he towel, it's not wise to continue a fight knowing he will not walk out of here unscathed in the end. Auber proposed to the hybrid, they will continue this battle another time, solidifying his decision the saiyan turned off the blitz wave projection from his whip and changed back into his humanoid form. A snort escaped Russé's throat understanding his desire to leave, he raised up a hand and used Kiai to destroy the artificial moon, the hybrid's mass shrunk as he reverted back to normal. It's Over Russé's eyes did not remove his visual of Auber, this was a fight he won't forget in his lifetime, both combatants gave it their all and somehow they weren't worse for wear, he wondered what would happen if he didn't request backup, would he still be alive? Would he lose a limb or two? Questions that may have an answer if they cross paths in the future. "You fought well, we may not see eye to eye but I can tell your skills are refined from years of combat, I'm Russé" finally introducing himself. No KP Action

Just as Carro/Leo mentioned the two other warriors’ scuffle being done for, Dion had watched as both fighters seemingly began to stand down. A small prideful smile appeared on the bartenders face as he saw Russe keep a relatively selfless moral code instead of pursuing an already near ending battle with what seemed to be one of the very last remnants of Scallio’s crusade. He was glad, though, that his hybrid pal got to test his mettle against some real competition with some real stakes though- as it would help toughen him up for later, most likely more deadlier encounters in the future, and give him also something to work towards in terms of yearning to get stronger.
Dion then turned to face Carro, and since he wished not to pile on to his already present migraine from fighting the pirate queen of the Saiyan race, the bartender instead patted the lad on the back (which was, a bit difficult considering the size difference, but he somehow managed it), saying in a reassuring and proud tone, “You did mighty fine today, Carro and Leo, I’m real proud of you two. Though, I might have failed in securing either Kalabas or any of the Stargoons, you two seemingly managed to get the job done, and that’s all I really could ask for.”
His eyes turned back to focus onto Russe once more, calling out to him, saying, “Cmon, Russe! It’s time to head home! Or at least, try and find Aurora so we could head home! The ship might be in worst shape for wear, so she might need our help in repairs!”

Auber was relatively pleased to know that the hybrid would not be pursuing a worthless endeavour any longer, although he should have expected such a diplomatic response, both with his moral compass and with his control over the Ape form.
The other two spectators don't seem to be opposed to the half-breed's actions either, once again, a product he should have expected given their behavior for lack of combat, he supposed that it would only be in another day where they took a darker turn.
Still, Auber got what he wanted and it was time for him to finally focus on the doubt gnawing at the back of his psyche, he reached out with his senses, going beyond Hofferson's colossal power, to where he last sensed Scallio's power.
.
.
.
Nothing, not a single trace, Auber's doubt turned into concern, which only grew as he failed to get a lock on his comrade, it's as if he vanished without a trace, he could still sense the Stargoons' power, although they were all leaving.
Auber's concern started to form some ideas on what had happened to his friend, all of them were unpleasant but equally realistic, and he soon stopped attempting to sense his living energy when he saw his actions bore no fruit, he could only think of the worst.
It's unlikely Scallio would ever leave of his will, that's not like him, and it seemed fleeing was pushed down further with how he has been lately, thus leaving the only other reason he wouldn't be able to detect his comrade's energy in this location.
He was dead.
Truthfully, Auber did care for Scallio as a friend, the camaraderie between them was genuine and they have been through tough and tougher together, although it seems that the term 'nobody is infallible' held true once more, Scallio had bitten off more than he could chew.
Auber supposed this was his own fault, he dug his own grave and brought this upon himself, is that what he wanted? Is it because Narissa was gone? He certainly seemed to care a lot more for her than what he had shown, it is entirely possible her absence drove Scallio to this path of self-destruction.
It was a concerning situation to witness, and probably a terrifying one to participate in, and Auber started to ponder if he was wrong for not stopping Scallio, words didn't seem to be enough, as Scallio most likely didn't take their talk in Gemini B to heart.
Auber shook his head of these thoughts, he could think on them later, for now, he had an exit to make, he turned back to the hybrid who's name was revealed to him, Auber made a quick decision right then and there, "Auber." He introduced himself without anything else to accompany it.
He, afterwards, turned back to the horizon where his Spacepod retreated to, and would attempt to fly off, a lot on his mind to think about.

As Russe and Auber gave each other their hello's and goodbye's, the fusion's pensive expression remained in spite of their friend's attempted reassurance. Neither of the androids found any of their actions today something to be proud of- it all just kind of... happened. They shook their head, trailing their gaze back to Auber in particular as he seemed to stare off to Scallio's last location. The fusion's gaze followed, though they remained silent in thought.
Auber quickly took off, leaving just the two saiyans and one former saiyan left at the scene. The androids' brow raised when Dion mentioned a broken ship-- and Aurora?! She was here?! "The Arcosian?" Both of the robots' voices chimed in equal parts shock and worry. "Good lord, I hope your friend dodged a bullet. If Kayen found out she was here... What the hell is she thinking?!" Russe knew of Kayen's terms. The android sighed, shaking their head. Questions for later, work for now. Again, they couldn't tear their gaze from what was now Scallio's grave- a ruined city at the seabed. "We'll scout out the damages to get work on repairs soon. After, if your ship is still damaged, we can help fixing that up." The feline pushed themselves upright, standing tall over the other two and turning away. As soon as their expression was hidden, it twisted in stress. "...Stay safe, you two." With little more than that, the fused President took to the skies. Maybe not everyone had escaped today emotionally unscathed...

Russé kept quiet, observing the other saiyan snapped his head to where Scallio used to be, trying to find a non-existent energy signature until he realized it's gone. It was only a matter of time before he discovered the mercenary is dead, he didn't know how close this guy and Scallio are but his passing has left an impact on Auber, judging from a plane of silence Russé is experiencing. He revealed the hybrid his identity and said nothing else then left, presumably flying away grieve for his fallen friend. Russé quietly stared at where Auber used to be, his head snapped to Dion calling for him, suggesting they find Aorura and get the ship repaired. "Wherever she is, I hope she's alright"caring more about her safety than the state of the ship. both the president and his companion overheard this and expressed worry about her presence being here. The half-breed knew about Kayen's warning and subtly felt guilty for not trying harder to convince Aurora in finding another way to fix her heart. He felt he was going to receive a scolding but thankfully it didn't happen, there is no time for lecturing and questions, they have a destroyed city to restore back to its former glory. They offered to help fix the ship if it is still in need of repairs. They tell the two saiyan to stay safe as Russeé watched the pair take off into the skies, leaving the boys behind. Russé looked at himself as a reminder he is wearing nothing but tattered green shorts, giving him a justified reason to depart. "Until we can fix our ship, we're going to be stranded this planet for a while, I'm going to find a change of clothes and get some grub, I'll see you later" said to Dion. And with that the young adult flew away in the skies, praying to the kamis nobody will point and laugh over his almost naked disposition. Exiting DE! PL: 90,000

The watchful eyes of the bartender turned heroic battler watched Auber as he swiftly made his departure from the battlefield, and as he began to disappear as a silhouette into the setting horizon, his eyes then turned and refocused themselves onto his opponent- Russe, who seemed relatively alright despite him having his first taste of real adversity in what he assumed was either a long time, or for the first time in his fighting career. Dion uncrossed his arms, the weight of the stress brought unto him by a planet's safety being threatened and his friends lives being at stake, slowly being lifted from atop his shoulders as he finally was able to exhale a relieved breath from deep within. It was finally over. At least, for now that is. The Stargoons were still technically at large for their crimes against the former Planet Namek, and Kalabas was still now out there somewhere, the Strongbone Duke most likely planning yet another flamboyant outing in the near future, but at the very moment, Dion could afford to take a bit of a breather. All that was really left to do was gather Russe, find Aurora, fix the ship, and head on home.
Speaking of Aurora, Dion jumped a tiny bit as the cat and Carro fusion right beside him exclaimed their equal shock at the revelation that Aurora was indeed on-world with both the bartender and the blue haired hybrid just a little ways away. After overcoming the initial scare, Dion shook himself back to his bearings, saying with an amused voice, "Yeah, Carro, and Leo- how else do you think I was able to get here anyways? You two had already left the moment I got the news, and Russe didn't happen to have a ship either- and seeing as Earth doesn't exactly have the best in terms of ship selection- spoiler alert, they don't really sell space flight capable ships to the public- Aurora was my only means of getting here. It worked to her advantage too anyways, she, had business to attend to here as well."
That did get him thinking, what exactly was that business Aurora needed to finish so quickly? And why would Kayen be after her head in the first place? Questions for later, he decided, that could be asked when Aurora was done with said business, and Russe and he safely located the ship.
And so, Dion shot his presidential pal a sayonara salute as they made their way skyward, just as nearly nude Russe over here made his way finally over to where Dion and Carro had been waiting for him at. His eyes now refocused on the hybrid, a bit surprised at his relaxed demeanor over the entire situation that had just eclipsed them. But then again, everything turned out alright, didn't they? So he supposed there was cause for his nonchalant attitude.
Dion also waved Russe a goodbye as well, allowing for him to go on alone as he wanted to talk with Aurora by her lonesome for a little while once she was done with her own business.
The last thing to decide, really, was what to do now?
