Piezo PL: 7,500 Peltier PL: 5,000
The norm for both Piezo and Peltier had become finding a populated city, looking for someone that was willing to give them the time of day, inevitably watching half the people around ignore them or have a panic attack, and finding one lone person to have a conversation with. This day was the gift that kept giving as there was another city but the same outcome, and Piezo at least was starting to take offense to the way they were treated, but to a degree taking responsibility for the reactions all the same.
"I'm starting to gather the Earthlings either don't appreciate our appearance or they adhere to the laws of street travel more harshly than we had anticipated."
Both androids walked shoulder to shoulder down the center of the street opposed to the sidewalk where the sane people chose to avoid traffic. Neither gave any attention, as was becoming a tradition, the the honking horns, screaming drivers, or the vehicles swerving to collide with both on numerous occasions. A lengthy time had passed with no signs of anyone willing to greet or approach them in a similar time frame as the other cities they had been in, and all the could deduce was that the people of Central City were simply rude.
Hours passed as the paced the streets, tried flagging down anyone who was close enough to make eye contact, and it was the same reactions of avoiding them in every instance. At most they had a few people following with phones out as they both continued walking down the middle of the street, stopping as they saw a shop that caught there attention at least from the outside, but before either spoke up or made any attempt to go inside there was a loud blaring horn, the sound of screeching tires, some loud gasps, and from the corner of Piezo's eye he saw a large truck with a trailer attached swerving to avoid running into him.
There was no way a vehicle of its size could stop in time with a full loaded trailer, but that meant swerving only sent it heading towards Peltier who was not nearly as observant as his counterpart. The heavy truck slammed directly into the android, but he didn't as much as budge, leaving heavy dents in the street from his feet digging in, and the trailer bent and slammed over onto its side. Piezo lifted both hands to stop the skidding trailer for colliding with him as a manged truck and trailer were bent around both androids. Peltier simply stepped back leaving a mold of himself in the grill of the truck, but Piezo shoved a bit harder than he had intended at the trailer as it had partially wrapped around his side, sending it flying loose from the truck and right through the front of the building almost all the way to the back of it. If there was a ship or ships inside, they were either a wreck at the back of the building or somewhere in the alley behind it at this point.

The day had finally come. For months, she had slaved and labored for this wretched shit hole that was called a planet. She had been humiliated and held captive by the judicial system. She had been made to scrape and crawl her way back to where she had even started, and now, here she was...
Morgan whistled at the small space pod that gleamed in the alleyway before her. The smoke from its appearance from within the capsule still hadn't dissipated, it was so new to her. The shady earthling stood by her side, beaming with pride and greed at the look in his client's eye. She was impressed, much more by promises kept of warp drives and stealth engines than the particular sheen of the metal plating.
"It's all yours, mama." He smiled a crooked grin and held out his palm for payment.
"Yes, yes it is." The Hexen giggled aloud, slipping the cash into her supplier's hand without a second thought. It didn't take him too long to leave, but she remained for just a few seconds. Finally, she though to herself... This was it... She could leave, at long last... She could return to the life she had known before her unplanned detour to this world...
The woman's green eyes blinked once, twice at the sound of tires squealing on the road just a few dozen feet away. Usually, she would think nothing of it, and assume it was yet another earthling overestimating their ability to handle their vehicle. This, however, was different; it was followed by the crunch of metal and the shattering of stone and brick. She twisted her head to the side just in time to see the wall begin to crack, and almost in slow motion, collapse towards her with the shine of bent and torn steel from behind it.
Morgan's reaction was one of mild panic. She had no weapon on her at the time, and no spell with which to incinerate the entire mass that now bore down on her. No, she simply dodged and avoided the crumbling wall, and where she had stood one moment, she had vanished from the next. She returned to material existence a few seconds later, several footsteps away, from the result of her Blink spell.
Her eyes widened at the sight before her, of the crushed and destroyed remnants that had only just been her space pod. Months of planning and weeks of worth both had just been flushed down the drain, as she stared on in horror at the destruction in the alley. She grit her teeth, and her eyes followed the damaged and distorted path back to its source, to the pair standing in the street and dusting themselves off.
If she hadn't already had the blonde hair, her anger at that moment might have been able to transcend racial boundaries and transform her into a super Saiyan. Maybe...
"Mother fu****..." The small woman let out a string of expletives the likes of which cannot be repeated in polite company, directly at the pair of men standing in the street. Without a moment's pause, she continued her tirade at their expense, all the while walking over the rubble that lay between her and the objects of her ire.
"Just what in the flying fuck do you two think you're doing!?" She had used all her creativity walking towards the two men, and now stood within arm's reach, glaring daggers up into their eyes. "Do you know- You're paying for this!" She gestured wildly at the remains of her space pod, still buried underneath a wall and semi trailer. The pair might not have even been able to see it from the road. "All of it! Now! You fu**... NOW!"

The destruction caused by the unintentional flying trailer didn't as much as illicit a response or reaction from either android, both standing and looking through the hole more curious than anything. Peltier moved his head only to look at Piezo for a moment before looking back, both now moving out of the street and onto the side walk to have a closer look. This was the first time either had seen destruction up close, and even if by an accident and underestimation of strength, it was their fault, or at least it was Piezo's fault by the end of things.
Their curious staring was broken by a string of foul language that they eventually realized was being aimed at them both, but again neither reacted. Piezo on the left stood with his arms loose at his side, looking all the Arcosian he could physically except for a strange change in armor across his upper body more worm by grunts than any self respecting member of his race, and a scouter worn even if it didn't work. Peltier next to him looked like someone had turned up the edgy slider a bit too much given the spikes protruding from his shoulders. From his neck down he looked like an Arcosian for the most part, but his head looked like a clearly mechanical version of an Arcosian with red glassy eyes and even more of the spikes, capped off with a large shield protector across where his mouth and nose might have been.
"Flying truck, not fl-oh, I see you were cursing me further."
"SHE IS ANGRY"
"Yes, I noticed by the increased volume and profuse swearing."
Piezo's voice was fairly generic and near monotone as he spoke, but it wasn't unusual aside from that. Peltier on the other hand sounded like someone pushing a voice through a megaphone in all upper case, even if he wasn't specifically yelling. Once again the two looked at each other wordlessly, then back to the angry Earthling.
"Paying for what exactly? The truck, the wall, the building, that, I don't know what that piece of metal stuck under the trailer of said truck is? In any case, neither of us have any form of currency."
"SHE IS REALLY ANGRY"
"I'm well aware. She is also standing right in front of us so I'm fairly certain she can hear you."

"I can hear you, you fu**..." Her voice only grew more shrill with her rising anger, and did eventually crack with frustration. It might have been comical, from the outside, to see the small blonde woman shouting at two Arcosians without a care for the diabolical reputation of their race. Wait... One of them was clearly some sort of machine.
The Hexen's frustration came to a boil as she was told that the pair had no money with which to repair her now broken space pod. A growl built in her throat, and a fine silver mist spilled out from underneath her sleeves. "God damn... Stupid... Mother fuckin'... PIECE OF SHIT!" With her anger, the mist built in intensity around her, coalescing around her hand and coming towards the tip of her index finger. All of a sudden, a bright, silver flame came to life on the end of her digit, which she sent flying towards the chest of one of the pair.
She didn't really care which she had struck.
"MY SPACE SHIP, YOU DUMB PIECE OF FU**...!" Her voice cracked again, just as the explosion of silver fire would reach the Arcosian-like stranger. She hadn't put any real strength, or even an incantation, behind the spell, but even so, the force of such an attack in her state of mind would be similar to a chi bolt from the martial artists of Earth.
Morgan attacks either Piezo or Peltier with a basic ki blast, flavored as a silver flame and explosion. Who she attacked is up to you. |

Neither android seemed particularly phased by all the obscenities or them being screamed directed right at them. Piezo could only assume something of this person's had been destroyed, but he couldn't rationalize getting so flustered over an object. Their attempt at explanation their financial situation only seemed to further raise the ire of whoever this person was, and a sudden screaming of what exactly the item in question was pushed this person over the edge enough to lash out.
"Please calm down."
Piezo attempted to read the power level of whoever this person was, but it seemed futile for whatever reason. He could surmise they were either an android as well or some type of creature he wasn't aware of that could mask their power from him, which was a curious trait indeed. A sudden blast shot from the stranger and dropped Peltier flat on his back, to which Piezo did little more than look down at him and Peltier laid flat with his arms out not moving.
"THAT WAS PAINFUL"
"I would assume given you were just attacked. She is at least stronger than a truck. The question is, how bad did it hurt?"
"OW"
"That bad? Maybe stay down for a moment. We wouldn't want to further antagonize this emotional creature. Peltier did in fact stay down, completely motionless and only his previous speech an indication he was any sort of alive. Piezo slowly adjusted his armor before bringing his attention back to the clearly enraged whatever and whoever this was, staring at them with a blank phase and speaking again with the same mostly monotone inflection.
"Sad I stated, we have no currency to compensate you. Perhaps you could take the truck, the trailer, and what is left of the ship and sell it to one of the Earthlings for scrap. I'm told that can be a lucrative business. On the other hand you could continue this violent act that would likely end up with violence returned and a portion of this city block destroyed, and you would still be out a ship and no way for us to compensate you."
"PUNCH HER"
"You aren't helping"

Again, the Arcosian told her how they had no money to compensate her for her loss. Again, she wasn't having any such excuse. That was her space pod lying in wreckage underneath the rubble. That was her way off this dump of a planet. That was her future!
The Hexen cocked her head slightly at the Arcosian's suggestion that she continue to be violent, and most likely would have violence returned to her. She could work with that...
"That's not a bad idea!" She screamed, just as the silver mist around her hand coalesced into a great piece of magical steel. Her opposite hand dove for the hilt of the heavy weapon, and with an emotional grunt of rage and effort, she swung her claymore horizontally at the object of her overwhelming ire. As before, there was no incantation that might have given further power to her attack, but if the mechanical one's admission of pain was any indication, that wouldn't matter. She just wanted to let off some steam.

It was clear this situation had gotten out of control and that it wasn't going to be diffused by asking politely or likely through words at all. This person seemed to want compensation through means neither Android could provide or to simply beat them up which was something neither were particular fond of. It was clear this person was strong enough to cause some damage, but the question was how much, and seeing as Peltier was a bit weaker than Piezo perhaps she just had a strong attack he wasn't expecting.
For a moment it looked like Piezo was getting ready to attack in kind as the incoming aggression was obvious, but it was nothing more than a bulging of muscles. He had assumed powering up would be a simply and effective means of absorbing the incoming blow and in turn he could attack if need be and stop this fight. [Power Level now 22,500] He had no intentions of hurting this person, but he had no intentions of being used as a target dummy. Peltier chose the same moment to stir and try standing as he noticed the familiar signs of Piezo powering up, but Peltier looked to be more hurt than he had at first let on, taking a brief moment longer than usual to get to his feet. Perhaps whoever this was wasn't as weak as they looked or either had assumed. The attack happened so fast as Peltier stood that Piezo almost missed it until the pain set in and the blade had finished it trajectory and had come to a stop. The android found himself on his backside without realizing he had even fallen, a hand reflexively grabbing at his chest with a pain he wasn't expecting. His knees were weak, his heart was pounding, and his chest hurt like hell. Clearly this was a strong person standing in front of him, and his plan of get this over with was instantly out the window. This was the extent of his power and a single swing knocked him on his ass, so it wasn't as if he could ask Peltier to back him up because he was no stronger on his own. "I see" Getting back to his feet, Peltier moved to stand next to him, looking him over for a moment and giving him an intense stare.
"Have it your way then. Our first real fight." Both Androids looked to one another and nodded, standing shoulder to shoulder. Sparks of energy began to appear between the two as their white auras flared visibly, mixing into one instantly as the lightning hit the ground in front of them leaving burn marks. The aura surrounding them turned as red as Peltier's eyes for a flash of a moment and back to a white so bright it would have been near blinding, then began to dissipate as quickly as it appeared. Where two Androids stood there was only one, looked similar to Piezo, but a bulkier frame, and where only Peltier only had a tail before, this Arcosian Android had one resting unmoving on the sidewalk. His eyes looked artificial and glassed over similar to Peltier's, though they were a bright green shining through, transfixed on their attacker. There was no banter, or monologue warnings, simply a heavy step forward to close the distance and swinging his fist with an upper cut aimed at Morgan's jaw.

Morgan smirked at the sight of the Arcosian lying flat on his back, sporting a new cut across the chest from her weapon. That'd felt good, yes. She felt better now. Maybe she shouldn't push the situation any further, lest she wind up in prison again...
However, despite her cooling blood, the universe had deemed fit to make the trio fight today. Before she could stop the pair who had so heinously destroyed her new space pod, a bright flash of light and release of energy had covered their joint transformation. Before her now stood a single individual, albeit one slightly more menacing than either had been before.
"Egnahc!" The Hexen's word came quickly, just slightly more so than the mechanical Arcosian's fist. Though her transformation was far less grand than the pair's, the spell that burned away her clothes and replaced them with a scarlet red battle armor befitting her status as a warrior mage still stood out from the norm. Might and magic coursed through her body, and with deft handling of her weapon, she brought the flat of the sword between her face and the Arcosian's fist.
The weight of the Arcosian's attack pushed her back slightly, though her movement was halted by the silver mist that appeared underneath and behind her feet to catch her momentum. Her green eyes glinted with magical potential from behind the steel wall that had protected her, and her smirk widened to show a hint of teeth.
"That all you got, asshole?" With one hand on the flat end of her sword facing herself, she pressed and pushed to drive the Arcosian away from her, then went on the attack again with an immediate dash forward and a second swing of her weapon. Whatever chance of stopping this fight before it had begun was truly gone from her mind now, as she only wished to see retribution carried out for her destroyed property.

The situation had grown out of hand in a hurry, and even despite their transformation, only half of this fused fighter wanted to fight this battle from the start. Piezo was still the dominant will between the two androids, so controlling this form was fairly simply from a willpower standpoint, and once his attack seemed to fail in quick fashion, that was all it took to end his will for battle. This angry Earthling on the other hand seemed bent on beating on this fused fighter, but the seconds attack that knocked him down yet again sealed his decision with a sigh.
"I see."
Grabbing his chest and looking down at it as he stood, it was clear the attack had to have hurt, but it wasn't showing on his face or his body language. Dusting himself off he stared over at the newly transformed being and thought for a moment, wondering what point there was to fighting such a losing battle over such a small thing in his mind. While to her it meant everything, to Piezo it was an accident, even if a costly one, and he wasn't eager to be mortally wounded over it.
"This entire situation has spiraled into something I'm not looking to engage further in. It's clear you are stronger than me, and I'm not looking to be your punching bag, nor a method to sate your frustrations. Perhaps some day we can meet under better circumstances."
Giving a heavy bow, the one fused fighter split into four with the same bow, before all four sped off into four separate directions.
Attempting to leave the thread. I was looking for help learning the mechanics, not so much to just get beat up on with no way to fight back.
