How long has it been? At least a year or so. The rocky wastelands of his homeplanet bringing a nostalgic feeling within him as he flew through the air. He remembered a lot of experiences here. But of course, one stood out amongst all the rest, and it was arguably his most important one.
Auber's thoughts trailed to his days when the Fleet had this planet in the palm of their hand. Ruled it with an iron fist and had his people enslaved and worked to the bone. He remembered attempting to sabotage the former Director's plans, whatever they were for this planet. He wasn't sure any more, it had been so long. She was dead now anyways. Killed by his hands.
Looking at his planet now, it was everything they might have hoped to be. It represented the freedom of the people and it was a symbol of might of the Saiyan Kingdom. They had already expanded from Vegeta to Raiti, Arcose, Gemini, Beppa. It was a shame about Namek however.
Landing on a random spot in the wastelands, Auber inhaled air and then exhaled softly. He knew that he couldn't stall forever, he had to go visit at some point. He wasn't sure how she would react, but it was better than not knowing at all.

"I can't believe our job is to kill some fucking saibaman," Leech complained as Leech and Anny ventured across Vegeta. They had gotten another job from some Vegeta folks. Some Saibaman was causing a ton of trouble. So now they had to kill them but even though Leech loved killing, he didn't much care for killing things with little intelligence. The killing was just no fun at all if the people were not intelligent. That was just him anyway. Anny on the other hand, just wanted the money she didn't care much about the intelligence part. Anny glanced around at the fields looking out for any saibamans. But instead, she sensed a large powerlevel in the area. It was over their own. Hell, it was stronger then Kayen Base when they first meet her. "Oh come on." Anny hissed. She hid behind a rock as Leech glanced. "What?" Leech pointed to where she felt Auber power. "We got someone strong who just arrived. I wanna make sure they are not hostile first. If they are not we are good to maybe talk to them." Leech grinned. "How strong we talking," Anny grunted. "Stronger than us alone so let's not start a fight." Leech nodded. While he did want to fight he also wanted the money. Getting beaten up really bad meant no money. So for now he kept his cool.

This was his sixth attempt in a week's time.
Duran stood in a wide stance within the endless Saiba Wastes, the hull of his cannon aimed at a rock structure that poked itself out of the dunes. He had run all the preparatory tests and even double-checked to see if the amount of Destromanganate was potent enough to provide for a success-worthy area of effect. Duran exhaled sharply, stabilizing the weapon with his other hand. ''Here goes nothing...''
After a quick burst of electricity, a dark-colored projectile launched itself out of Duran's arm cannon like an explosive round being launched out of a mortar cannon. The projectile soared through the air before crashing into the rocky surface. Upon impact, it immediately shattered into a thick cloud of noxious Destron fumes that spread out at a wild pace. It tore away at the jagged rocks, slowly crumbling it's edges down into dust.
Duran looked at the result of his numerous tests, and smiled proudly under his mask. ''Finally.'' He chuckled out. It took him weeks of engineering, hypothesizing and testing, but Duran had finally been able to make a supply of Destron grenades from the scraps he salvaged around the Ruins.
His moment of self-praise was short-lived, however, as his Scouter began to alarm him of two nearby powers. The first alarmed him quite a bit, as it clocked in at a little over [115,000], a power like that could spell some real trouble...
The second, however, was one he immediately recognized, even if they were just numbers. Two identical Battle Powers that came in at a solid [41,500]. ''Those two? Out here...?'' Duran chuckled bemusedly to himself. What were they doing in the Saiba Wastes? There wasn't a lot to really do here in terms of making money. According to his scouter, the two powers were relatively close to each other. Either that meant those siblings were in trouble for picking another fight out of their league, or they..
Duran's mind fell silent. It likely was just the former.
''Suppose I can lend a hand.'' Duran muttered as he took off into the skies, eyes falling down to his gunblade. He needed a live target to truly test out the capabilities of his Destron grenade, anyway. Shame he only brought two, though...He only had one left.
It didn't take Duran long to find Anny and Leech scouring through the vast Saiba Wastes. He flew close to them, and touched down on the sand behind them with relatively little care for subtlety. ''So, what's it this time? Excavating the desert to find valuable fossils? Tracking down a wanted criminal?'' Duran chuckled, crossing his arm and not-so-arm with a raised brow. He fell silent for a moment, noticing that the siblings seemed quite anxious about something.
''You two seem alert...Is it that Battle Power? I noticed it too.'' He grumbled. ''Let's investigate together. If things get dangerous, we can cover each other's backs.'' He proposed to the siblings, gesturing further into the Wastes to where he located the Battle Power.

It would seem however, that Auber's day will not be without excitment. For it didn't take long until his senses detected two smaller Powers, coming from behind one of the many rocks of this wasteland. Auber smirked with amusement. Did they really think they could keep themselves hidden from him? I suppose a surprise wouldn't be bad to give out.
Before he could act on his amusement however. A larger power joined them. This one was stronger than the two, but still smaller than his own. How very bemusing, was this a surprise ambush? or perhaps he simply stumbled upon three warriors wandering the Wastelands and they hid in alarm of his own power? He does forget to suppress it. But seeing the panic, alarm and anxiety of the ones who can sense his power is an intoxicating feeling.
He saw no reason to rush this and simply stuffed his hands in his Formal Earth attire, before walking calmly and deliberately towards the three individuals. Perhaps this would prove to be the distraction he needed? And if so, Fate has given him a very special gift on this day. It has been a while since he last traded blows in his homeplanet.
"I do sincerely hope that you weren't attempting to hide yourselves from me. Because that would result in a colossal failure." Auber spoke, a smirk gracing his lips as he stopped at a fair distance from the trio. "Now then, what can I help you three with? After all, there must be something more to staring at me from afar then admiring my looks." He tilted his head as he raised an eyebrow, naturally, Auber wasn't this vain about his looks but being in control of this situation obligated him to show it.

Leech and Anny were shocked when Duran spoke to them. "The fuck?" Anny turned her head to glance at Duran while Leech kept watching. "I don't see anything." He grumbled. Anny grunted as Duran asked what they were doing. "We are just doing merc jobs. There a saibaman infestation that people want to take care of. Since we're pretty strong we decided to do some odd jobs to make more money." Leech turned "Yah though not looking forward to fighting saibaman. They can't even think like us." Leech tapped his head. "I like killing things that are smart. That can feel fear. Do saibaman feel those things." Anny grunted. "Your psychotic Leech." Anny groaned. Then Duran asked about the powerlevel as she nodded. "Hell yeah, I'm scared. That powerlevel is pretty high. And I got no idea who it might be." Anny groaned in annoyance. Leech grinned "But it could be a fun fight." Anny just pointed at Leech and glanced at Duran "And see he's stupid enough to think he can win."
As they were talking about what to do it seemed it didn't really matter. The saiyan had already spotted them. Anny glanced at the saiyan. He seemed to have a scouter. "Guess that was to be expected," Anny grunted. At least they knew it was a saiyan. Which could be good or bad. Duran and those tuffle guy really didn't like the saiyans so hopefully, he didn't something stupid. This guy was way stronger than him! Now the Saiyan wanted to know what they could do for him. "Nothing really we were hunting saibaman. I picked up your power and assumed your one tough saibaman." Anny decided to play it dumb for now. She knew it was def not a saibaman. Leech grunted but followed along. While he did want to fight this guy they were not getting paid. Also if they started fighting maybe Duran would attack them? Or help them? Leech was not really too sure. He was like a saiyan but also an android. He didn't really understand the dynamic of how that all worked.

''They're paying people to hunt Saiba-beasts? Have their own Soldiers gotten too lazy? Or too weak?''
Duran sounded skeptical of the mercenary job Leech and Anny had scored themselves. He was under the impression that the Kingdom loved nothing more than to prey on the weak, which sadly included the weak, pack-hunting Cultivar of the Saiba wastes. Maybe they'd outgrown the litter of Cacumber...Duran briefly snorted to himself- It was pretty funny to think of. ''That's pathetic.''
He shook his head before the siblings spoke of their fear regarding the power signature close by. Or rather, it was only Anny that felt anxious at this power. Leech seemed excited at the prospect of a challenging, unknown opponent. Duran shrugged with crossed arms as Anny gestured toward him, speaking of Leech's 'stupidity'. ''Alone? You likely wouldn't stand a chance. But us together?'' The Cyborg held his chin up confidently. ''Now that's something I can get behind.'' He spoke excitedly, sharing Leech's opinion. Perhaps it was just his Saiyan side talking. It always yearned for adrenaline. A proper fight.
And how convenient...It seemed the stranger had already come to them. What a pleasant surprise.
Even more pleasantly surprising, was the stranger's Saiyan heritage. The head full of black, spikey hair and the furry tail gave it away immediately. He was a cocksure Saiyan, overconfident in his own right. While most of Cacumber's rabble were a bunch of loud-mouthed, overbearing brutes...This guy oozed smugness. It made Duran feel sick to his stomach.
Whilst Anny tried to play things dumb, Duran couldn't help but stifle a laugh at her comment. ''Strong Saibaman indeed. Pretty well-dressed for one, too.'' Duran spoke in a provoking manner, looking Auber up and down as he nodded in faux approval.
His face scrunched up slightly, expression turning sour. It was pretty obvious that Duran had a problem with Auber, even though he hadn't really done anything wrong yet. His prejudice against the Saiyans of Cacumber was on full display here. ''Sadly, not much to admire asides from your Battle Power; And even that is quite the letdown.'' He rose an eyebrow toward the suit-and-tie wearing Saiyan, showing clear disdain toward his vanity.
It was obvious he was trying to provoke the Saiyan. Duran was in an aggressive mood all of the sudden, and it felt like the only thing that would calm him down was burying his fist into this sleazebag's gut.

Auber could have expected several things from this encounter. Some ended up more pleasantly than others, although few in those categories would truly classify as boring. Others ended up a lot more violently, which would be fine by him, as far as his Saiyan blood was concerned. However, the true fun was leaving it all up in the air in such times, no?
His eyebrows raised visibly as Anny compared his power to an abnormal in the Saibamen department. Really? "Come now, Miss." His amused tone never lost it's edge, although there was a faint narrow of the eyes as Auber gazed straight at her. "I don't appreciate it when people try to take me for an idiot." He was honestly insulted she couldn't have come up with a better excuse. A really tough Saibaman? What a laugh.
The fellow in the cybernetics however? Now, he was an interesting case. A minute into their interaction and it was obvious he had a problem with Auber, was it his vain words perhaps? Either way, he wouldn't attempt to smooth this situation over. Better yet, why not escalate it?
"Thank you. I truly do make an effort to look my absolute best, unlike some." His eyes glanced up and down Duran's body, an obvious sign of his jab towards him. "I have to give my condolences for your state however. I do realize the great shame in being too pathetic to fight with your own flesh and blood, to the point you had to resort to cybernetics. Really, you could be compared to the trash that litters the alleyways of Earth." Auber insulted the fellow casually, his amused smirk seemingly becoming much more toned with mockery and smug superiority.
The saiyan relished in his verbal attempts to harm Duran. He was hoping to tick him off, to the point a fight would ensue. Just so he could crush him under foot and then boast about it to his face. While it might be considered petty, Auber had built an ego around his ever-expanding power. How would the Earthlings put it? Ah yes. Bragging rights.

Leech and Anny glanced at Duran. He seemed to suprised that they were hunting saiba beasts. "Well there called Saibaman," Leech grunted. Anny just waved her hand, Duran knew more about the biology of Vegeta then they did so whatever their name was. As for his thought, Anny shrugged. "Apparently these ones are kinda strong. Stronger then your day to day saiyan grunt at least." Anny waved her hand. She didn't really care much why, they were the ones getting paid. As for the deal with Auber, he seemed to be willing to with them. If they had to fight it seemed they be fighting together. That was good 3 on 1 maybe they had a chance. Duran battle level was probably higher then theirs's alone but still? Anny was pretty sure this guy would have that super saiyan form if Kayen had it and he was even stronger then the Kayen they had faced, why would he not?
As for hiding they didn't seem to do that good. And Anny story about the Saibaman didn't do well either. Granted part of that was Duran being a dick. Guess he really didn't like the saiyans. Guess that his saiyan blood, he wanted to fight Auber? But he was going to get his ass kicked. And she was not going to save him if he acted like Leech. Anny quickly responded to Auber claim. "As I said I felt a strong saibaman. Didn't say I was talking about you. You are not a saibaman." Anny just decided to at least role with it. "Obliviously your far stronger then that said saibaman." Leech made a grunt as he glanced back at Anny. She was sucking up this guy. That really annoyed him but he didn't move to do anything stupid. That would not be good for anyone here, espcially him.
Though he'd not have to wait for long for fireworks to start flying. Duran first threw out the insults making a note to say his battle level was the only thing that was impressive about him. Of course Auber then responded by bacially calling him a trash can and an android. Leech just laughed just a bit at their insults. "Bahhaha that really all you two got." Leech shook his head. "A saiyan like yourself running around here? They didn't want your feet in the city? Maybe it because everyone made fun of you in high school for having that dofus shape hair cut." Anny just glanced at Leech blinking a few times. He was the same guy who had a blotch of yellow on the side of his face. Anny would of tempered him down but she also knew that since Duran had started, that this was not going to end well. Though question was which one of the two would start throwing hands first.

Anny tried her best to defuse the situation before it got out of hand, swearing on the fact that it was just a misunderstanding.
Sadly for Anny, these three she had to deal with were all Saiyans in their own right. Some literally, some in spirits. Duran's cold comments bounced off the Saiyan's haughty exterior like rubber, reflecting back toward him twice as harshly. The Cyborg stared back at Auber with a sour, resentful expression as he felt a nasty urge bubble up from within. His fingers twitched erratically as he saw Auber's smug grin grow more and more. ''We'll see who needs cybernetics after I'm done with you!'' Duran hissed back, taking an aggressive step forward.
Still holding himself back however, he stood there with a hateful glare, expression twitching as Leech stepped in between the two of them, taking his own turn to verbally assault AUber. Duran glanced at Leech with a bewildered expression at first, but quickly realized what he was up to. He knew Leech well enough by now to know that he wanted a piece of the action as well. Duran grew silent as Leech finished his magnum opus of insults, obviously pondering something in thought.
''...Hrm...''
He thought about what was happening, slowly and carefully, and quickly felt his petty anger subside, for now at least. Duran sighed aloud and relaxed as he stood to his full height. ''This is idiotic.'' He said. His tone made it clear that it was this entire situation he was referring to. ''...Look, I don't know what it is, but we're all agitated for whatever reason.'' Duran explained in a critical, impatient tone as he exchanged glances between Leech and Auber. ''We're all obviously itching to vent our frustration, so why are we behaving like children?'' His brow furrowed tightly. Duran took a few steps to join Leech and Anny at their sides, and glared at their Saiyan adversary.
''Let's cut the crap and fight. We all know we want it.''
His tone was dead serious, and frighteningly confident.
Duran allowed a moment's pause to allow Auber to say his piece, before turning to the siblings with a fiery expression. ''Sorry for dragging you into this Anny, but your brother and I can't say no to a challenge.'' He explained in a gruff voice, already having sunk into a low, tense stance. It's exactly as he said after their battle in the ruins. Battle was their lifeblood; They'd be nothing without the opportunity to fight.
''Us three against you.'' He said to Auber, chuckling inwardly. ''Either you grind us into the dirt, or we shatter that fragile little ego of yours.'' He proposed coldly. Duran smiled under his mask, eyes narrowing amusedly.
''Go ahead... Flip that coin.''

To add insult to injury, Auber made the mere effort to seem even more smug as Duran hissed angrily at him. He knew in that moment, that he had won their little verbal spat, as Auber appeared the far calmer and less-affected of the interaction. He made sure to note the being's temper as well, it was certainly something he could take advantage of.
His smile lessened into a curious frown as Leech took his own turn in attempting to rile up Auber, who stared back at him with an unimpressed gaze, before tilting his head like a confused feline, "I'm sorry. Who are you again?" He inquired with mostly malice in his tone, intending to demostrate just how lesser he thought of Leech to the point he would barely recognize his existence. It was as like an ant attempting to fight a mountain, although he would recognize the ant's bravery before crushing it.
His attention focused back to Duran as he seemed to cool off a bit, who seemed to realize the futility of verbal fighting when they could have been doing actual fighting. For once, the Saiyan could agree with that logic. It also seemed he was intent on making it a 3v1 against Auber, whom gazed calmly at the cyborg-like saiyan as he declared the battle against Auber.
Auber held his gaze with Duran's confident one. Inwardly musing about the sudden trait, did he think that numbers would be enough to hold a candle to his power? It was certainly a better chance than solo, but still, to seem confident over this setting was bemusing. Only one way to find out, he supposed.
"Very well then. I accept."
He would break them.
They would not win.
He will make sure of it.

Anny tried, she really did. But it was becoming clear there was going to be a fight. Anny just watched as Duran kept up his insults on Auber, while Auber ignored whatever Leech had tried to say. "What the fuck. I am Leech asshole." Leech pointed at Auber. "Put respect on the name or I'm gonna break your skull." Anny just put her hands in her face and yelled pretty loud into them. Leech just shook his head. "Sis no point in getting mad now. Not like we can just run." Anny glanced at Auber, he didn't seem the type to just let them run off but if Duran fought him they could for sure. What made it was worse when Duran claimed they should all fight three on one. "You just included me. your even worse then Leech!" Leech burst into laughter. "Well now, your stuck in this fight!"
Anny glanced at Duran as he tried to apologize. "Listen, Duran, if we survive this I'm going to fucking murder you. You won't have to worry about this guy killing you." Anny cracked her neck. Leech grinned. "Sis we gonna you know?" Anny glanced. "Not yet, we will leave it as a trump card." Might as well saved their fusion for when it was needed. Anny and Leech looked at one another and nodded. They began to circle Auber from his left and right side. Anny knew right now their best chance was their numbers. Auber seemed to be the type to play with his food just a bit. But Anny needed to see if he had another level of power before showing their own trump cards. Anny and Leech nodded to each other again before launching at Auber. They both sent barrages of kicks and punches at Auber aiming at each of his sides to try to overwhelm him with there number and to maybe give Duran an opening.

Duran's challenge reached the Saiyan's ears loudly and clearly. A three against one battle, something all of them could agree on. Well, all except Anny.
She seemed to be pretty upset at Duran for roping her into this battle completely without her consent. So angry in fact, that she noted that this Saiyan would be the least of Duran's worries after they were done. Duran gazed at her with a somewhat skeptical look in his eye, before scoffing amusedly. ''Right.'' He let out with an inward chuckle. ''I know you two well enough to know neither of you would stand on the sidelines while your sibling gets brutalized.'' Duran replied to Anny. Even if she wasn't intent on joining their battle, she would've anyway sooner or later. Could she really just stand aside as Leech got his face caved in? He didn't think so. ''And besides, you two wanted to get more powerful, correct? You should be thanking me.'' Duran continued in a teasing tone, likely only frustrating Anny even further. Luckily, there was a perfectly capable Saiyan across from them for her to vent her anger on.
After all was said and done, Duran saw the siblings nod to each other understandingly. Their emotions were cast aside. Right now, beating Auber was all that mattered to the three of them.
Leech and Anny circled the Saiyan from his sides as Duran stood back, carefully analyzing everyone's movements to capitalize on the perfect moment. The siblings quickly engaged Auber in close quarters combat, yet would likely be quickly overwhelmed due to the immense power difference.
Duran had to act quickly.
Duran's hulking form stabilized where he stood, digging his armored feet deep into the sands below. He heaved his gigantic, weaponized arm forward and pointed the barrel directly at their opponent as his other hand moved to support his aim. His own Ki began to coalesce within the hull of his cannon whilst it drew energies from their surroundings. The high-pitched whizz of Ki amplifying in his cannon grew ever-louder, until it capped off. Energy crackled from Duran's form as the sound grew to ear-piercing heights.
''Leech! Anny!''
He shouted out toward the siblings in a commanding tone. Without further warning, Duran let loose the building Ki within his gunblade and fired off a large wave of energy toward all three of them. Hopefully, his warning would give Leech and Anny enough time to dodge to the side, so that the brunt of his Ki could slam directly into Auber.
