((I'll move over a few of the final pieces from the Azurai and Oguma thread to here. We'll continue here, since everyone is grouping up again))
The three separate duels that had formed all but coalesced into a single match as the groups find them self fighting back to back, all having gravitated towards a single segment of heavily damaged arena.
It was bright out, despite one of the flood lights having sustained heavy damage and no longer functioning. This was because of the moon. No longer peeking out shying from beyond the clouds, it now stood half exposed, delicate whisps stretching across like fingers, clasping enviously, the half-exposed orb illuminating the backs of Pieter and Hanzo, shining paley across Phrozen and Azurai's determined faces, and casting sinister shadows across the features of Oguma and Tsumuri, as if the shadows recognised their kinsmen and drew comfort draped across their bodies.
None of these worries would even have noticed yet though, so caught up were their in their ongoing struggle of life and death, a frantic battle of both skill, determination, and impressive powers - a spectacle audiences would no doubt love to witness had they not already long fled or been evacuated, the last of Tusmuri's cloaked goons having also retreated into obscurity.
For now they could be considered content to fight against their self-appointed foes, unaware of the danger far above them, the cold high winds shredding away at the last of pale orb's vaporous cloak, minute by minute dragging and drawing it thinner and further away.
((Ok, lets continue with the current battle(s). The moon is NEARLY out, but as we know saiyans have to look directly at it before any transformations take place, so the fight is still ongoing as if nothing has changed. Tsumuri will be coming in I believe to smack Pieter a bit with his new powers, and possibly anyone else caught in his eye, and I'm sure Azurai and Oguma are still waiting for the payoff for this charged attack.
I will specify that I am not the 'moon keeper', everyone here has permission to say when the moon has come out,I think it will be most satisfying though if we avoid jumping the gun, allow the above two elements to reach a compelling point before we bring out the much anticipated plot-twist. What do you guys think?))

The Saiyajin made a grave mistake. His arms lowered down as Oguma came to him and his forearms met his hips. Believing he was of equal or perhaps even greater power, he bellowed a harty laugh as the charged blast hadnt made him flinch too bad. Hanzo had some form of durability on him, along with a focused attack should have watered the impact down somewhat. The strike was nigh as Hanzo uttered his famous line,
"No match for me!..I'll take this, head on!"
His figure launched into the blast, trying to buff it down and raise his defense to whatever he could muster up. Alas, his attack was to nothing, body being flung onto the main grounds with a nasty spin and crash into the debris that lay the land. He got up as best he could, stumbling and wiping his mouth of the broken skin and leaking crimsom fluid.

"What are you doing," the saiyan-human hunter shouted, "Do not underestimate your opponent one bit!"
Pieter came speeding in next to the younger man. The fatigue of his attacks from before were getting at him, but he was aware. He readied himself, as his attention fixated on Oguma. He told him, "If you deviate your attention for a fraction, you're as good as dead, youngin'! Prepare yourself now and give the two of us cover!"
Pieter, even though most of his power was depleted, still charged in at Oguma. He hurled a couple of ki blasts at his newest opponent, hoping to deviate his attention so the clearly strongest of the three could attack the demon! He made sure one ki blast was hurled at Oguma's feet, to kick up dirt and debris! Pieter intended for the other ki blast heading at Oguma to be a distraction tool, so that he and Azurai can get at this dangerous murderer!
(I'm gonna be hopping into this fight now! Don't worry, I won't be procrastinating here!)

Oguma laughed his head off seeing that Hanzo was swiftly knocked away by his attack. He did not have much time to laugh though as Pieter entered the battle yelling at the Hanzo not to underestimate his foe. It made Oguma grit his teeth as now Hanzo had someone new to instruct him in his fight with the little boy. Especially when this guy did the one thing he hated and played around with some battle tactics rather then fighting him head on.
The reason why he thought this was the guy threw many ki blasts at Oguma's side, but one was definitely placed at his feet to create a dust cloud. If the newcomer was going to attack him Oguma felt he should have just thrown all his energy attacks directly at Oguma's body. It was a waste of energy to create them and do anything else with them if they weren't meant to hit someone as now these incoming attacks did more then sting. They actually hurt some and tore at his clothes.
If only to get rid of the extra pain he might feel, he pulled off what was left of his scary, demonic looking bronze armor and tossed it aside. Now he only wore a black vest, a gray shirt, and baggy, dark blue pants with a pair of thick boots. They would not offer him much defense, but they lightened his speed a bit and allowed him to prepare for physical attacks by giving him some ability to move more while he fought. If Pieter punched or kicked him Oguma would take his hands and legs and try to use them to defend himself with counter attacking blows or blocks, but with his weights on underneath his fine shirt he was sure he was still too slow and a bit too worn out to scare the world's citizens and the tourney's fighters as he originally had. Things were looking badly in the opponents' favor since he now had to fight three to one.
He let out a roar though and announced, "Come get me you chickens! Fight me directly because that's how all we demons do things around here!" Oguma was stupid to say those words though because he was letting his human lifestyle get to him. Demons never fought directly. They always had one trick up their sleeve to survive. But Oguma was so stupid sometimes, well maybe not stupid, but proud and stubborn he had eaten human fighting technique up just like he had peoples' souls on more than one occasion. He wasn't thinking of the simple fight ahead of him, but the meal afterwards where he would eat everyone's souls and become stuffed once more like his family had up north in Jingle Village. It was very likely that if anyone heard of demons living there that would be their next target as the village probably had no more jingle to it. The only thing living there was likely to be four or five fat demons that had just finished digesting the entire village's souls.

Azurai increased his speed, charging towards Oguma as the demonic warrior had slowed down. During the time taken for Azurai to almost reach the demon and the young Saiyan another warrior had entered into the fray. This warrior was almost animalistic in appearance looking as though he belonged in some sort of tribe. With Azurai now charging towards the demon in front of him the newly entered warrior had thrown Ki blasts his way. Azurai was sure that the warrior did this so that he could maybe introduce a distraction or delay so that Azurai would be able to catch up. It appeared that this worked.
"Come get me you chickens! Fight me directly because that's how all we demons do things around here!"
Oguma roared. Crying out to all the fighters and warriors surrounding him whilst taking off his armour which had protected him this entire fight the Demon no longer chose to handicap himself. Now the Demon would be faster. But Azurai was prepared for this. Azurai drew closer and closer to the demon, choosing to target him while he was distracted. His momentum and sheer speed increased only metres away from Oguma. Azurai committed to making a risky move choosing to openly strike Oguma so that maybe the young Saiyan or newly entered warrior could make their move.
Take this you ugly bastard
Azurai leapt into the air. Using the momentum and speed of his sprint to his advantage his entire body shot forward. With his right foot out first he aimed for the back of Oguma's neck, hoping that this literal leap of faith would strike Oguma forward into the warriors that had only just entered. Azurai hoped that Oguma would not notice this move as it was very risky, but luckily Azurai had allies on his side.
(Not sure if that was the right description of you, Pieter, also I tried to post this quickly before bed so that others could jump in and not have to wait overnight for me. The description is pretty rough but basically Azurai attempts to jump-kick Oguma in the back/back of the neck using the momentum and speed he built up over his sprint.)

A new guy? Boy, this place was just bursting with excitement and awesome people! Even better, this new face had something about him that Hanzo just felt he could trust. As his words of wisdom echoed in the young man's head, he nodded once before standing fully straight. It appeared as though the three fighters were going to have some kind of edge! The only apparent down side had to be the brawl wouldn't last as long, due to the increased tactic and power on their side. But seeing Oguma shed his armor, that thought was easily tossed from the speed buff.
"If you say so, gramps! Now eat this, you dolt!"
Hanzo leaned back, more and more like a catapult. His feet picked him up as well, going back until they were almost parallel with his hands. Between his palms, his fingers danced and wiggled as a sphere sparked amd erupted from itself. Over the course of three seconds had a large ball of ki been conjured. Hanzo, taking it into his right hand, lowered and stomped once before launching it at Oguma with intentions that it'd only hit the target.

(( Requested to join in, and Azurai was kind enough to allow me! Phrozin had seen everything from Hanzo getting blasted away to the most recent post. He had just left the fight with Reiko, and is still in his True Form. ))
It was almost devilish to see how casually Phrozin approached the tense combat that had been raging amongst this group. He had not bothered to power down - what point was there? - and he was still unsure about this whole circumstance to begin with. Who was right? Who was wrong? It was pretty clear to see that the battle was somewhat one-sided. Three people against one. He must have been powerful, or they must all be cowards. Both seemed like equally viable options. He stopped when Oguma yelled. Chickens? He wanted to fight them? No, no he was being sly. Or trying to be, at least. There was something more to this fighter... Phrozin narrowed his eyes, approaching them from behind.
One of the fighters was chasing after Oguma with a fiery passion. They must have been the ones fighting the whole time, it seemed. Weren't there other fighters? Phrozin glanced around. It almost looked like a battleground, with all of the debris and craters and other signs of struggle. Such brutes... but he was sure he had left his own marks on the ground with the robot. Probably more than he'd like to admit, so he took his mind off of the topic. Besides, things were getting interesting - even the onlooker had attacked Oguma, who was now facing blows from multiple sides.
This one... it must have been him. He was the one who caused such an upset?
Phrozin thought, circling around and approaching Hanzo and Pieter from the side. He showed little interest in fighting outwardly, but he was itching to hop in. And yet, whose side was he to take? If Oguma was the troublemaker, than he certainly felt against him, but with the fight these three are putting up, perhaps it would be more enjoyable to try and fight them as well. Such a complicated mess, this whole event was turning out to be...

Bao edged away from the still manically laughing(and floating) Tsumuri, finding himself between where the others stood and the center ring. Swiveling around he surveyed the area, cringing at the disarray the stands and various elements now stood in, finally noticing one of the foreign dignitaries approaching the other group. That's the arcosians shy body guard... what's he doing here? Could the arcosians be behind this whole thing!?... ... ... ... ... no, he's probably been commanded by his emperor to come see what's taking me so long, I have been a little longer than I said I would be. ((well, especially given he never told the other ambassadors anything before he ran away mid-discussion, not that he remembered that)) A frown of concern crossed his face; Hope I haven't offended their space-gecko customs by taking so long, I promised the paper pushers I wouldn't do that again this time... Bao is a man of his word darnit! Even if I have, I'm sure I can mend the situation right here and now. Just gott think on my toes.
Springing over he intercepted Phrozen, skidding to a halt "My apologies to your emp'roar mr... uh, Phreeze, but as you can see" He stretched casually, indicating the utter mess around him "Iiiii pretty much have everything here under control." the assertion was punctuated by a slab of concrete falling to the ground with a large thud, the others continuing to brawl in the background. Bao waved Phrozen off dismissively, leaning his elbow casually on one of the seats to stand loungingly before him, as if to emphasis how completely non-concerning the situation totally definitely was. "You scoot on back to the meeting room and tell all of them I'll be right there in two minutes tops... Cause if there's one thing Bao's known for (other than having situations like this under control), it's not offending your weird space-lizard customs... or any lizard customs for that matter!" He said with a charismatic and entirely self-confident wink, giving Phrozen the thumbs up and clearly believing he had aced this whole 'diplomacy' thing. ((Remember now, there isn't a posting order, technically we might as well still be in our seperate threads as although we've come together we're still RPing as different 'groups'. Though ofcourse that isn't to say our villains shouldn't try to get in some more responses, same goes for people like you Reiko ))

The distraction had worked, causing the monk to leap into action and strike at the opponent! At this point, Pieter and the younger saiyan should've had the opportunity to pin the enemy in, but something drew Pieter's focus briefly. Maniacal laughter bellowed through the arena! At first, Pieter had been able to recognize it as Tsumari, but... Something different put the saiyan-human hunter on edge! It seemed his energy began to billow out from him, sending a small gust of wind towards them.
"Damn it, was he holding back this whole time," Pieter muttered in anguish! He had spent so much energy on that opponent that he wasn't even sure if he could help in this small battle! The attention was brought back, as the original demon called out to their cowardice, saying to fight him directly. Yet, the other monsters still reeking havoc seemed to think differently, as one charged at Pieter! A blow directed at Pieter's head would be dodged and met with both abdominal and facial blows from each other Pieter's fists! He then proceeded to slam the monster's head into the stands, causing them to break as the demon follower's head cracked deeply from the blow!
The saiyan's energy festered out in almost vein-like waves rising up! He fired at Oguma's feet once more, ordering the younger saiyan, "Strike now before the monster has a chance to strike! After this threat's down, we must take down the other demon up in the sky!"
Pieter charged forth, chanting out loudly so that the demon would be attracted his way. Hopefully, the smoke would cover at least some of his approach! A Tomahawk Slasher, small and weak compared to Pieter's others, formed quickly in his hand. He was conserving his energy so that he could look for the opportune moment to unleash a power blow to a vital area! The hunter swung quickly, aiming to at least cut the left hip open on this monster!
(Power level currently is at 3600. So, the Tomahawk slasher coming at ya is at 1200 power level. Keep in mind, Pieter's still hold thing one.)

Oguma allowed himself to get hit by all prior attacks. They knocked him around and filled him with trepidation as the last one brought him to his knees and forced him to use his left hand to cover his hip wound. Growling, he ripped off his shirt and said, "I didn't want to do this, but you all leave me no choice." Instantly, one would see if they were in the right location, a set of twenty pound weights strapped to his chest, arms and legs.

Phrozin was beginning to piece together the chaos of the interruption when he noticed that he'd gotten the attention of the Earthling politic. But, from both his current attitude and brief prior encounters, he couldn't say just how much 'dignity' this man could actually have. What a curious human. Most humans were curious, in Phrozin's eye. Not exactly interesting curious, just... curious. Thought-provoking. Such a primitive species, and yet they were so ... so vibrant. Like a rare bird. Except not quite as pretty. Arms crossed behind his back, Phrozin slowly turned to face the man as he slid to a halt before him, with almost a bored expression on his face. To be honest, it wasn't the wait that was nagging at the Arcosian, but rather the lack of action. That could simply be the power talking, though - it wasn't always easy to stay mentally sound in his True Form.
Bao tried to convince him that everything was under control. By simply sliding his eyes back and forth, he could see the true scope of this madhouse. He blinked, unmoved by what the man said. It was an honor to have the Arcosians here, and Phrozin didn't hold the president responsible for ruining his own party. He did, however, find his remarks unconvincing. He requested that Phrozin return to the meeting room, but with how things were out here, there was no way that him leaving would end well. The Arcosians, unfortunately, need to remain as powerful allies to a few groups, even if he despised them. Besides, the Emperor would not have his own kin back away from a fight such as this. No, there was no honor in that, even if there was no real fight, either. At least, not for him. Or at least, not yet.
Phrozin respectfully declined the suggestion by nodding his head 'no', but then his attention was grabbed by another 'display of power' from the grand party crasher. He looked like the attacks were finally getting to him - no one is invincible, of course - and he gripped at his side, and relinquished some of his clothing. They fell with a mighty thud. Weighted? Phrozin tilted his head. Interesting restraint. Perhaps he should get involved...?
Not yet.

Landing on the ground after sending a jump kick towards Oguma Azurai watched as Oguma stood there, standing proud and tall as if the kick hadn't phased him in the slightest. The demon standing before him immediately ripped off his shirt. This action surprised Azurai, but not for the reason one might think. "I didn't want to do this, but you all leave me no choice." The demon roared the crowd surrounding him. Beneath Oguma's shirt were a set of twenty pound weights, strapped to his chest. It appeared as though Oguma had been holding back this entire time. Azurai feared that this would lead the demon to take an even greater offensive against Earth's protectors. With no time left to lose Azurai decided that if Oguma were to strike at full force now was the time for Azurai's plan to take action. Hoping that the others would follow, Azurai moved forward. Wasting no time Azurai raised his arm whilst activated his Zanzoken. With his arm raised and the Zanzoken giving the appearance of multiple monks he lowered his arm forward hoping that those surrounding him would charge Oguma also, maybe even hold onto him to slow him down. With their arms lowered the Zanzoken'd monks and Azurai himself would charge forward in Oguma's direction. As Azurai came close enough to Oguma he would make his next move. Azurai opened his mouth wide, releasing a gigantic surge of purple radiating energy which darted towards the demon. Azurai hoped that maybe with the teamwork of those around him this blast would reach Oguma and do enough damage to hinder him, kill him or force him to retreat. As the blast reached Oguma the last thing the demon would see before the collision was the glint of hope in Azurai's eyes. (there we go, blast is finally launched ) ---- Disruptive Wave - Tier 1, launched, currently at 82,824 PL (33% of 41,832 x5)

((Gonna leave it open for everyone to respond with what they were themselves doing while this attack was launched, and subsequently collided [be it with Oguma or otherwise]. So everyone feel free to do your part/post your reactions, etc.)) ---
The attack burst forward, bathing the entire area in a bright light, and no doubt gaining the attention of everyone around, be the a saiyan king headed towards the action, or a madness-engulfed demon floating high above. Even those who could not sense energy would feel the raw power and explosive force of the winds kicked up, the fruits of Azurai's toils having finally been given shape.Bao was sent tumbling, and it would be no surprise if the others had difficulty staying on their feet. It was all a blur of action and Bao had little chance of of keeping track of what everyone was doing in the moments before the blast collided, instead tumbling head over heels again and again like a young surfer caught in the broiling white-wash. One thing was certain though, an almighty crash sounded as the attack made ground-fall, the windows of the entire area all shattering in unison as the shockwave bellowed outwards, the clouds retreating in a perfect circumference around the tenkaichi budokai and the beacon of light visible all the way from South City. As Bao regained his senses he found himself facing the cool night air with a ringing in his ears, staring out from between his own legs, his rear pitched above him like some sort of inappropriate tent and his back curled very uncomfortably against the wall behind him. He flopped like a slinky, sliding with his back on the ground. An unusual stillness had settled over the area, and Bao gazed lazily up at the full moon, he found himself feeling rather peaceful... ... the full moon.
----- ((That's right folks! Now, just cause the moon is out doesn't automatically mean Oozaru's appear, they have to look at it first, giving us enough time for everyone to respond to what has happened during/with Azurai, dust ourselves off, or even make a dramatic re-entrance/response - but the moon is definitely no longer hidden away, and once one of the saiyans go ape it would make sense for the others of you to soon follow suit ps. yay others))

((Leaving this here, if it is in the wrong place I apologise. Although I am currently in South Capitol, the full moon does have an impact. Don't feel pressured either, I am far removed from the tournament grounds, anyway, and I haven't gone Oozaru yet. Giving you guys plenty of time ))His feet were shuffling across the pavement, he had tired himself out fighting a bunch of thugs on an empty stomach. To top all that, he had forgotten to pick-up the food he had acquired from the Butcher before the altercation. His stomach grumbled loud, and he patted a few times in an attempt to calm it down.
"Not today. I'm sorry bud," he said.
He shuffled onwards, his steps slow and arduous, the city was dark now and some of the buildings were speckled with lights. Throughout the walk he kept pondering about possible costumes, now that he had felt the appreciation of the crowd, and felt he had become a hero as the movie advert had portrayed. His costume ideas were sometimes intermixed with his current longing for food; dressed as a mutton-chop seemed tasty but would be incredibly impractical.
While his brainstorming didn't particularly lead him anywhere, he started to hear the rummaging of the large crowd again, and he realised he had returned to the area where the tournament fights were being televised across a large plaza. Behind the large screen was a giant building, different in architecture from the surrounded glass edifices that reached to the sky. This particular building - almost alien in appearance - was larger in width, bulbous and its letters spelled Embassy.
His eyes were caught by a bright light shining from the television screen. A fighter in the tournament had his mouth opened wide, firing a destructive looking energy wave, directly at his opened. Amrenth was in awe at this display of power. The light emanating from the massive attack obscured the fighter, but he seemed different from most of the humans he noticed cheering in the plaza. He could not see his opponent at all, who was about to receive the attack.
There was something else though, something that tugged at his brain. Right in the middle of the screen was a strange silver reflection of light. Almost like an annoying fault in the screen itself. Amrenth gazed at the tall surrounded buildings around. He remembered seeing the bright sun reflected in them earlier, but the sun was gone now. Instead, a pale, round object had replaced it. That's when he realised he had never stayed up this late before, and he was intrigued by what caused this silver light.
He gazed upwards, scanning the sky for the pale object and once he found it he stared, in trance. Caught in the moment, his tail became unwrapped from the child's waist.
Around him, the people were too immersed to notice. In the largest city in the area, among the gathered mass of spectators glued to the onscreen spectacle, and the myriad of buildings, Amrenth's heart thundered. . .
