---

Kup has posed:
Kup knows from the start that there is something wrong with this. He has been given the liscence to hunt a harmless humanoid across half a dozen worlds and already had reports that she is more than she seems. He has tracked her to a world of no consequence in the middle of nowhere and is wise enough that he takes nothing for granted at this point. If he CAN take her and she is guilty the energy credits will do the commonwealth a lot of good but he doesnt rush into anything and is looking through several sensors...from a distance.

Lobo has posed:
Life in the black vacuum was rough and tumble, but for the Last Czarnian, that was just the way he liked it. He had been in the process of massacring an illegal mining gang that had accused him of cheating at Ladycup(of course he had, you'd be stupid to play that dumb game fairly) when he found a job in one of their pockets, something about delivering some broad for questioning. Hey, no skin off his nose, plus an easy few thou wouldn't hurt his credit collection.

So now here he was, dropping down to the lush beautiful world filled with flowers that made the black-clad bastiche want to hurl, though crushing one beneath his biker-booted foot made him feel better. His bike was still blaring that stuff he called "music", the violent drums and gutteral throat screaming filling the air. Clearly, he wasn't concerned about keeping quiet.

Power Girl has posed:
    Power Girl has a very, very slight reputation across the galaxy. Mostly due to several excursions to Knowhere wherein she's had an... Encounter with some alien thing that has far too much libido and double the acceptable amount of money for someone like that to have. Which is how we find Kup and Lobo in the predicament they don't really know they're in.

    The sensors pick up the blonde, and somewhat inconveniently, she's not flying, or benchpressing a continent, or anything that would lead one to believe that it's probably best to turn down this particular job. Instead, she's on this planet admiring its rather alien beauty.

    This is the kind of vacation Kryptonians take. Instead of heading to Maui or some overhyped overwarm tepid theme park in Florida, the woman known simultaneously as Power Girl, Kara Zor-L, and Karen Starr is... Here. On a beautiful but sparely populated planet that nobody else would ever want to go to.

    Which is immediately polluted with the noise of Lobo's blaring music- which she hears from an excessively long distance, heading seemingly in her direction. "What the shit?"

Kup has posed:
Kup would not know of something so current, despite his vast experience and contacts. He is cautious though and his experience helps him in this manner. Still as it is, he isn't getting readings off the charts. As such, he cautiously approaches but then spots Lobo making a totally non subtle entry. This could work out well since if she IS dangerous then Lobo can let him know ahead of time.

Lobo has posed:
The big man kept riding until he was right in the same vicinity of Karen and the old rusted jalopy, before killing the engine to his own ride. Instantly the engine wasn't roaring like a Demon, and the constant drumming and 23 seperate guitar solos stopped instantly. Instead there was just the massive, seven foot albino man, his black hair swept out of his face thanks to a stiff broad-brimmed hat, under which his red eyes still glared right at the target in question. After a few moments the cigar-chomping alien swung off his ride, getting up to a standing position and casually walking toward her. In his right hand was a cruel looking pistol-type weapon, though it had a long row of bullets that looked almost like nails hanging from the side, clearly it fired those things rapidly. As evidenced by the big man almost lazily sweeping the gun across, and firing almost ten bulletnails at a time across at the knees and thighs of the seemingly harmless blonde woman.

"Awright, that's yer warnin', sugartoots. Ya gonna come quietly or...uhh.."

He was interrupted by his rehearsed 'tough guy' routine by the fact that his gun, in all likelihood, didn't have quite the effect that he wanted it to.

Power Girl has posed:
    Power Girl has been shot... Many times. A lifetime of punching earthbound criminals in another dimension followed by years doing the same thing in this dimension. When Lobo approaches, though she's never met the man, she already knows exactly the kind of thing he's about to do. There's an air about a... Seven foot tall space-biker walking with weapon drawn that tells her exactly what she needs to know.

    "Listen, I don't know why you're here, or even how you got here, but you really don't want to-"

    Nail-bullet-things rip free from the firearm and sling themselves at some wicked speed right at her knees and thighs, before collapsing in on themselves like they were made of some semi-solid rubber. They fall to the grass at her feet, and for a moment, her expression shifts to this... Bored-angry.

    "Right well one of us has just received their one warning. Are you going to keep this going or do I have to punch you all the way back to Planet Edge?"

Kup has posed:
Kup transforms and chuckles. Well, THIS is not something he is going to mess with. He knows a kryptonian when he sees one, "I think someone has been lied to. She is a Kryptonian Czarian. I was looking into getting the bounty too but I'm not even going to mess with that. Kryptonian, someone is putting out false signals on your name. I can give you details since I am annoyed at them as well.

Lobo has posed:
"A Krypawhat?"

Lobo was alarmed by the sudden appearance of a massive towering robot stomping toward the scene, as if the Main Man didn't have enough to contend with. In annoyance he tossed his gun over toward his bike, letting it 'thud' softly as the rugged alien war-weapon landed perfectly across the seat of his ride. At the same time he spat out that cigar stub, letting it ricochet off one of Kup's massive legs before looking here and there at the situation. He considered his options ever so briefly before a dangerous glint flashed across those scheming eyes of his.

"Well then. Time ta improvise!"

Instantly he was throwing a sudden uppercut. Not toward the Kryptonian woman, but toward the kneecap of the hulking robot standing before them. This was before he grabbed at the other ankle, trying an old wrestling-type maneuver to try and sweep the machine off his feet...and trying to make him land on the alien woman, in a two-in-one!

Power Girl has posed:
    "A kryptonian. Listen, I don't have the time to-" she notes, putting on a brave face and ignoring the fact that a car transformed into a seemingly more voluminous robot before approaching. It made a nifty sound when it did, though. She offered this mild sigh and braced herself just slightly, readying for Lobo's seemingly inevitable approach.

    Then... He uses the robot as an improvised weapon. Her attention shifts, and Kup- as much as the attempt is made- either overestimates his speed or underestimates how aggressive Lobo is going to be. A giant robot toppling over on top of her is something that she deals with on a she-wishes-not so regular basis.

    It's a little less than nonchalant- and admittedly, it might feel a little rough for Kup- but as the robot descends upon her, Power Girl raises one hand above her head, onto which Kup will likely fall... And then stop, almost effortlessly held up on the muscled arm of the blonde.

Lobo has posed:
He saw that the girl in question wasn't that phased by the robot, but somehow, he didn't expect her to be given that the Rippergun didn't even pierce her skin. This meant that Lobo was gonna have to improvise, utilizing his own great strength and physicality to try and get the edge. So he flexed his great right arm, unfurling the chain that had been wrapped around that forearm and throwing out the Bisley...but not at Kara directly. No, the sharp end of that hook soared through the air to sink into the earth between the Kryptonian's feet. Given that he had been in the process of running and jumping when he did this, it allowed him to give him a speedboost as he grabbed the chain to pull himself even closer. He wanted to put as much momentum into this as possible when he shoulder-checked her, trying to barge into her like a missile, and trying to send the both of them flying. Of course, he didn't know what this might do to the big towering robot currently held up by the Girls of Steel(tm), but Lobo didn't much care at this point.

Kup has posed:
Kup is used as a weapon but grateful for the precision block. He breathes a sigh of relief at not having to be in the repair dock yet again. It gets old, even older than he is. He shoots Lobo with his hold out blasters which wont slow him down but will sting

Power Girl has posed:
    Any other time, Power Girl would be relatively prepared for the Daffy Duck Technique. However, at this point in time, she's dealing with the robot, bending at the elbow and then pushing backwards, with enough force that it will hopefully send Kup right back to his feet- though it's at this exact moment that Lobo comes flying right at her.

    The shoulder check catches her off guard, but despite that she goes flying backwards a good ten feet, it feels like Lobo just tried to plow through a wall made of adamantium. There's a loud grunt of pain and anger as she flies, though somewhat deftly, she rotates in the air in a way that keen-eyed super individuals might recognize as her ability to fly.

    Her feet touch ground for a moment, and she calls out- "You little punk-" she states, before taking off. The decision to encounter Power Girl in an unoccupied area- not that Lobo or Kup could have known- is a genuine mistake. Power Girl accelerates to the speed of sound in the space of a moment, to return the favor, aiming her own shoulder right at Lobo's midsection.

Lobo has posed:
It's true, Lobo was despicable. When Kara goes flying, the Main Man brushes off his shoulder and smirks, while hiding how difficult that had been. His right arm was throbbing in pain, and although Lobo ate pain for breakfast, too much of it could spoil his appetite.

Instead, he turned around to regard the robotic creature, pointing at him with his left hand, the black nail polish gleaming in the sun same as the black leather of his jacket.

"Hey, stick around. After I wipe the floor with this broad, I'm gonna see what robo guts look liIIIIIHRK"

No, that was not Czarnian he spoke at the tail end, that was just his wind flying out of him as someone who was faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful than a locomotive slammed into him super hart. His purple tongue and red eyes nearly bugged out of their respective locations as the big bruiser went flying...rather far. In fact, way off in the distance, massive alien trees could be seen toppling. Moments later, the sound of that thunderous CRASHING impact would finally hit Kara and Kup, the echoes almost nonstop.

Kup has posed:
Kup gapes at the reaction and decides that discretion is the better part of valor. Later, he will tell this tale to his fellow autobots but to do that he will have to live and as such he moves himself well out of the way. Still, it is obvious to him which way this ight is going to go. But as he watches them fight he can't help but notice..."You might start a brush fire dear....I seem to recall a story a few thousand years ago. I think it might give you a tactical edge.

Power Girl has posed:
    Power Girl lands after a moment, having knocked Lobo a good distance, her attention turns to Kup. "Uh. Sure? Friction's a thing, I guess. Either way, I think this guy's pretty violent." She slips up into the air, hovering just a few feet above the ground. Her arms folded then, and though she might look stoic, she's also looking off into the distance which Lobo flew, staring through trees and vegitation, to see whether the massive goth was indeed incapacitated.

Lobo has posed:
Lobo, traveling so far that he made a crater in the earth, decided to regroup, his bike quickly following at breakneck speeds and soon, he was a blip in the sky as he decided to regroup.

Unfortunately for Power Girl, he was going to remember this. He never forgot, or gave up on a bounty. NEVER.

And when the time was right, he'd strike again, and when that happened? Well, all that fancy strength wasn't gonna help her then.
