That was a close call. Calias was worried that his old, damaged spacepod had landed on the un-cushioned ground, where it would surely shatter. Thankfully, that wasn't the case; it instead had landed in the public landing field.
Continuing toward his original destination, Lord Touketsuki's building, he felt some rather large Ki signals grouped together some distance in front of him. Perhaps they worked for Suki? Time to investigate...
As Calias approached, he realized that they didn't work for Suki at all. They had no armour on, just street clothes, much less scouters or anything.
There were six of them, two Anorr-seijins (Appule's race), one Beppa-seijin, one Brench-seijin, one Zalt-seijin, and an extraordinarily strong Saiyan. In fact, while the others were only around 2,000 Power Levels, the Saiyan was almost as strong as Cal was. He must be their leader, Cal thought.
As he neared them, he eventually decided to turn partially away from them, but he was still confronted by the Beppa-seijin.
"Yo!" he said. "You got zeni--"
He stopped because Calias would have no truck with gangsters, especially when he would receive nothing in return. In other words, Cal had slapped him back into the alleyway from which he came.
Seeing the Beppa-seijin sprawling on the ground, the Brench-seijin and Zalt-seijin rushed to Cal's sides and tried to knee him away, but he lunged first, smacking them both and, from behind, backhanded them in the opposite direction.
The two Anorr-seijins tried to give him a double-team punch, but Cal jumped over their heads and knocked them out with a pair of Ki waves.
The moment he landed, a green fist landed on his face. Apparently, the Beppa-seijin had gotten back up.
"I didn't even feel that," Calias taunted right before grabbing the arm and using it to throw the Beppa-seijin across the street.
Apparently, the Brench-seijin and Zalt-seijin were up as well, because the Zalt attempted to punch him, in which case his fist was caught, and the Brench gave a kick, which was stopped. The Zalt angrily threw his palm out, trying to shoot an energy beam into Cal's face, but he dodged and it knocked the Brench out instead. Now, Calias simply held onto the fist while brutally throwing it around, the Zalt along with it, who was slammed back and forth into the ground until he was unconscious.
At this point, only the Saiyan was left. On the other hand, he was clearly the strongest of the bunch.
"Say," he said. "Yer pretty good."
He threw off an old, ragged coat he had on. "Not as good as me, though."
Not a second later, he started sending punches Cal's way, but they weren't so hard to parry. Eventually, Cal just caught one and started his own series of attacks. This basically made it a close combat.
At some point- 20 seconds? 30?- contact was made. Calias got a strike on the Saiyan's cheek, but it only made him flip backwards, although it did make him angry.
"This isn't my full power," he said.
"Oh really? Show it."
"Gladly."
He bent over, (growling, I guess) his red aura exploding into a dark shade. His power level increased dramatically, astonishingly. 10,000...11,000...12,000...
Already now, he was much more than Cal could handle, at least in this form. He finally topped off at 17,000. At this point, Cal's eyes were wide, both surprised and fearful.
"Now try me," the Saiyan taunted right before he rushed at Calias, punching him in the stomach, kneeing him in the face as he hunched over, and then gave him a roundhouse kick across the street into a shop which was, thankfully, closed.
As Cal was picking himself up, the Saiyan continued.
"Y'know, I think I'll just give you the beating, and you c'n fork over the Zeni later."
This...This was just infuriating. I guess I've only got one last shot, he thought as he started to concentrate on transforming.
The Saiyan stopped, a stunned expression on his face as Calias grew, his skin growing darker, tusks forming on his shoulders and calves; not to mention, his Power Level shot all the way up to 32,800.
"Just try," Cal taunted before he rushed at the Saiyan. Once he actually got to him, he grabbed his face and torso, pushing him right into the opposite wall. As the dust cleared, Cal lifted him up by his head, punched him in the stomach once, and threw him into the shop they were just at.
Deciding that that was a good enough beating, Calias reverted back to his original state. "You would do better by simply getting a job," he said as he walked away, down the street to the building to which he had first been heading.
(Note: "Anorr-seijin" is just a name I came up with based on the first letters of the known examples' names.)
