Apsaraga stared unflinchingly out of the small red window of the loaned battle-pod as it screamed down through the planets atmosphere, light anti-spacecraft fire glancing off its compact hull as the heat of entering the planets atmosphere caused his small pod to blaze crimson with fire as it raced towards its destination.
Impacting the planets surface with an earth-shattering boom and scoring a deep crater in the desolate soil, he'd landed approximately two klicks south east of the battlefront between the planets resistance forces and the invading saiyan forces amidst a ki scorched wasteland where the unmistakeable signs of an rampaging Oozaru littered the landscape, shattered rock formations and snapped petrified trees as well as the occasional greasy red stain where one of the gigantic beasts blows had landed true and smashed an unlucky foe to vapour.
Though he relished the prospect of a good, brutal battle he found the use of the oozaru form distasteful at best and a shameful abandonment of saiyan virtues in the face of defeat at worst, though he could appreciate it had its uses and times it seemed like most of his breatheren were willing to resort to it almost immediately even against foes that they should already be evenly matched with, there was no honour and certainly no pride in it.
But he was here on different business today, another task he found slightly distasteful, that of reconnaissance for the orbiting warships far overhead in the plaents upper atmosphere had detected a energy spike in this believed abandoned wasteland and needing the finesse of a not-oozaru happy saiyan dispatched him to investigate, report back and if possible nullify the threat before it could be brought to bare on the saiyan infantry due north of this location.
Taking off from his pod in a blazing blue aura as he pushed himself through the sky like a comet, carefully scanning the landscape for signs of enemy activity, the slightest spike of Ki, the smallest hint of movement even the glimmer of metal amidst the ruins drawing his black eyes to them almost instantaneously.
Though he was more than a match for the average member of the enemies armed forces he was far from invincible and whilst pride in ones prowess was no sin a cocky warrior would invariably be woken from their delusions of grandeur with their head in their laps.
Spotting a glint amidst the ruins of an destroyed building he wasted no time in rushing to investigate flying low and close to the ground, arms pulled back and fists clenched as he rocketed forwards.
Sure enough he was greated by a wall of rapid energy cannon fire, forcing him to roll and bank to avoid the bulk of it but found himself running face first into a precise and tightly packed barrage of energy blasts; barely managing to raise his Psycho-Sheild in time to prevent having his head taken off he couldn't help but think that these aliens were cunning and mighty foes and the empire would soon be all that much stronger for there inclusion.
Whilst his saiyan blood burned with the need to answer there attacks with his own that wasn't his mission here...at least not yet, first he had to discover what they were up too and he risked destroying any evidence or proof of what that might be if he returned fire.
flying in a serpentine zig zag towards his foes, psycho-shield still raised as the much tighter and more accurate rain of energy shots rained down on him occasionally glancing his battlesuit he quickly closed the distance, shoulder barging his way through the crumbling wall of building he was shocked by what he saw.
Amongst the humanoids there stood a rather large and muscular being, clearly not of this world, it was all clear to him now...but his moment of hesitation had cost him and he found himself face to face with the thick set warrior and wrestling for control of the grapple he had instinctively began as the Pofirals scattered for cover.
The alien was strong, suprisingly so, Apsaraga found himself genuinlely struggling to prevent his foe from taking control of the grapple and quite likely killing him, between that and the pofirals no doubt getting ready to fire upon him whilst he was unable to defend himself or dodge their blasts he was in quite a predicament.
He loved it.
thinking fast he slammed his head into the reptillain aliens face, a poor decision it turned out,beneath the rough scales was solid and rather dense bone and sinew but it had served its purpose, his enemy had seized up in momentary suprise and through his now splitting headache apsaraga had the advantage he needed to take control of the grapple, flinging his foe bodily into the pofirals below with bone jarring force, their helmets cracking beneath the aliens great weight and density and knocking their shots wide a few even hitting pofirals in other firing positions, spinning quickly around to take in the positions of his foes before turning his attention back to the reptillian and following up on his assault, pounding mercilessly on the beings midsection, feeling the ribs of the creature begining to crack before finding himself thrown off and into a rising knee to his solar plexis.
He felt his armour cracking from the sheer brute force of the blow as his forehead bled and his bile rose to his throat, world spinning around him as he sailed high into the air only to come to a sudden stop against the aliens waiting overhead blow.
Now plummeting towards the ruins and the incoming fire of the pofiral infantry unit below he barely managed to gather the wits to stop his descent prematurely and return fire, swinging his arms down similtaniously with a scream of "Xiphos Destroyer!" he unleashed the raging light purple wave of ki and sent it crashing down to the center of the ruins.
the alien was quick to respond and delivered a elbow to the back of his exposed neck, sending him once more plummeting down to the planets surface, crashing into the dust and rubble of the ruins and its vapourized pofiral occupants with a crash.
he was pretty sure his his should had broken beneath the pauldron of his armour as the alien rushed towards him with brutal bloodlust burning in its eyes, sharp carnivorous teeth exposed as he raced down faster and faster with each moment, arms extended in what would be a skull crushing impact if it landed.
gathering what strength he had left and raising his good arm to the sky he clenched his fist before drawing it back and focusing his ki into a flickering ball of energy surrounding his hand, holding it there as he built the charge, his aura flaring and raging like a violet fire as the alien drew ever closer, seconds streched out into eternity by the mix of pain and adrenalin
the attacks crashed together unleashing a wave of sheer sonic force that washed over the desolate landscape, toppling what buildings remained standing and flinging away the debris and dustin a rushing wall of dirt, where the rushing blast of purple ki and the rappidly descending aliens aura clad charge clashed.
Apsaraga felt his focus waning as his vision blurred, the point of the clash drawing slowly but inexoriably nearer to his prone and battered form but clenching his teeth to the point his gums began to bleed he poured every last ounce of his remaining strength into the attack, forgoing any reserve of energies, this blow would be the final and the whole outcome of the clash would depend on it, he would either fail and die, crushed to pulp beneath the aliens fists or overpower the being and blow a hole straight through him, there could be no other outcomes, his blast flared as it widened and crashed into his foe with strength anew
his conciousness begining to fade and his eyes forced closed by the blood leaking into them from his heavily cut forehead he none the less felt the alien begining to loose ground to his blast, just a little more was all he needed!
Arm shaking uncontrollably from the strain of the struggle he dug deeper yet and found power anew within himself which he almost reactively threw into his final attack and at last overcame the alien, unable to see but still hear the creature scream in agony as the ki burned its flesh from its bones and ground what remained of it to dust in the churning wave of energy.
He was going to need more than a stay in the drunk tank or "the barrel" as it had come to be called to sleep this night out off, laughing heartily at his situation he forced himself to his feet and begain the long long walk back to his pod ready to make his report to command.
The Pofirals were hiring mercenary races to bolster their forces and it would seem that the energy spike had been a...test or display of prowess..no doubt they were now one less prisoner of war to turn loose after the planet had fallen.
