She continued scanning over the battlefield as she ascended to a cliff; Out of the way and assumedly out of reach if these things used those machines to get around. Kanka's words didn't fall on deaf ears, but the Saiyan was observing the combat situation instead of replying. She could be thankful once this was over; Until then, there was no telling the exact amount of damage that'd be done. In a way, this was a waste of time; It was highly possible they were going to lose more karkonites because of these actions Rabi took, but that was something to think about later.
As she placed Kanka down, she felt a very light grip; Glancing down at her arm. Without hesitation, she pulled away from the karkonite and instead turned to prepare to leave, as she was right in the fact the rest of her people needed more assistance. However, Kanka's words rang in the Saiyan's head.
If only I were stronger!If only she had been stronger. Maybe she could have been quick enough to stop the attack before it landed, fought off the others. Saved Kohl. Those words were similar to ones she had screamed to herself for a long time; She held a lot of regret. Pain that she used to get stronger, but she often questioned if it was worth the losses she suffered. Kanka surely had family down there as well; She put her people before herself. Something Rabi would have done, during a time long gone.
"Focus on healing." Rabi finally responded, head lowering in thought.
"You might not have the strength to defeat these foes yet, but you have to will to fight. And people to fight for." Rabi didn't have anything to fight for aside from herself. She'd rather other people not turn out like she did, so she'd ensure Kanka wouldn't. At least this once.
"Train yourself once you've healed. There's worse out there than these fools; And we might not be here to stop them next time."Having said her piece, Rabi flew off towards the battle; Aiming to finish their defense of the locals, then find the source of these bastards. After seeing Kanka's condition she began to wonder to herself what use these karkonites would serve as slaves if they were returned so injured? She wasn't an expert, but an injured slave was a useless one, wasn't it? And she wasn't sure how long the injuries lasted. What'd they do with all the injured slaves while rounding up new ones? To Rabi it didn't entirely matter, but the thought was still... Chilling, in a sense. As in a way this invasion almost felt pointless.
Approaching to join the battle on the ground, Rabi felt more motivated and brutal than when she arrived on the planet in the first place. The sight of one of the Riders throwing a karkonite inside of those machines of theirs was something Rabi didn't expect. Those compartments looked uncomfortable for an individual her size, but the thought of cramming Burnet into one and sending him off to find the source of the slavers came to mind. She'd use this descent again to her advantage on the ground unit; Diving down and landing with one hand on the handlebars of the machine, gripping it tightly before bringing her body down; Pulling the bike towards her while delivering a kick to the front wheel, causing it to fly off and roll across the landscape.
"You've got one chance to talk." Rabi warned, feet landing on the ground. The action
she took alerted not just the rider trying to use said vehicle, but others still roaming in the general area. The rider seemed to recoil it's head at the sight but didn't hesitate to come at Rabi with it's stun baton; Jabbing it at the Saiyan only for her to sidestep the slow attack with ease; Charging forard and delivering a stomp to it's right foot, before delivering a bodyshot with her left fist, which had enough force and strenght to suspend the rider in the air, had they not been grounded by their own foot being stomped into the ground.
A cocky grin crossed the Saiyan's face.
"This armor isn't so tough. I'll break through it, and you!" She growled, pulling her arm back for a second bodyblow. The swing came forward and connected again, this time her fist smashing through the machinery, making a hole in the torso of the enemy. The cockiness she felt soon ended as the rider wasn't entirely destroyed by this method; The two were momentarily locked together, and the rider took advantage by applying it's baton to the closest spot it could reach; Jabbing her in her right leg.
Despite the surprise, Rabi could thankfully keep herself up since she could fly: The pain itself wasn't that bad, but the shock to her leg wasn't at all pleasant. If she had to stand at the moment, she would've fallen for sure. Angered by this, Rabi gripped the rider's arm with her free hand, and placed her good foot on it's torso: Pressing against it with her foot while pulling it's arm, she plucked her other arm out of it's body, and applied enough force to send the rider rolling back as the pressure was too much for it's arm to handle; Rabi ripping it off entirely, along with the rider's weapon.
Dashing forward, Rabi had two weapons now: This neat baton thing, and the rider's own arm. She yanked the baton out of the grip of the rider's dismemebered limb, wielding one object in each hand. This didn't last long however, as since this arm was such a solid piece of machinery, she figured she'd put it to good use as a weapon. Now above the damaged rider, she attacked again by jamming it's own arm into it's face; The machinery within being maimed as it was finished off.
The calvary arrived in the form of multiple riders closing in on their vehicles. The sound was enough to alert Rabi to turn around, noticing two up front jousting at her with their batons, and one following up behind them. She threw the baton she had taken from the fallen rider at the one tailing behind, and the rider dodged without much issue but she hadn't thrown it to knock him out. She merely had to get rid of it.
As the riders approached, Rabi used her flight to flip in the air, stretching out her arms as she hung above the batons intended to hit her. Her entire body tensed, acting as a wall for the riders as she clotheslined both of them off of their vehicles, knocking them to the ground. Without skipping a beat, the Saiyan warrior grabbed one of them by the leg; lifting upwards and flinging it up to her height, stomach-down. She then delivered a kick with her good leg, sending it flying up into the air, in which she quickly gave chase to overtake the rider's upward momentum.
Managing to overtake the rider, she delivered a
Double Axe Handle that caused the rider to plummet back towards the ground; Crashing into the other victim of Rabi's clothesline. Diving down, the Saiyan extended her leg and finished them both with an utterly devastating kick that crushed through the head of the first and nearly flattened the second.
Now where's that other one? She thought to herself, catching her breath. A cry of some villagers caught her attention, and she noticed that the third rider wasn't around. It had... Ignored the fight and went back to trying to capture karkonites? She wasn't sure if she should feel insulted that it ignored her, or...
Another cry from the karkonites sparked her back into action. She still wasn't allowed to let them get dragged off, after all. She dashed off towards the disturbance, prepared to eliminate anything in her way.
