You may be referring to the use of deadly force and if that is the only way you can envisage a firearm of coming into play, so be it.
The OP's question was "What would you do?"

What right would one citizen have to detain another citizen who had been kicking someone? What would the person with the gun do if the other chose to depart?

The right is that it stops that second citizen from trying to break open a man's skull with their boot.
As to them leaving, why should we don't care: they'd, by then, stopped trying to break open a man's skull with their boot.
That would have been the motive for acting, after all. Mission accomplished, call the paramedics and the police and let them both pick it up from there...
