The machine sputtered and sparked as it tried to get back on its feet after being thrown by the saiyan's powerful kick, but dropped to one knee as some of its servos were too damaged to compensate. Unable to get back into the fighting the machine did what it needed to do, send information to the others and from where it came from.

The rider veered out of the way of the Kankousen as its systems prioritorized evasion over retaliation. While the riders would attack if given the opportunity their primary objective was what was driving them. Any that were attacked would go into evasion mode and try to keep the attention of the mercenaries away from the others. The one attacked by Burnet started to circle around his position while firing electrical bursts from its gloves, they wouldn't be enough to do much except sting a little at that range but the point was to get his attention while the others did their job.
Already the riders were upon the villagers like a plague of locusts, using their electrical gauntlets and stun batons to batter the confused population into submission. Each village taken down was quickly loaded into the motorcycles which opened up and then closed up on the unconscious victim's bodies. As soon as a vehicle was filled to capacity the bike shot off toward the canyon with the precious cargo, leaving its rider behind to clean up shop.
Brackus flew down into the village and quickly got in front of a vehicle before it could speed away and held it in place. "You zzhall not get away with any more today!" The Arlian hissed as the tires squealed in protest. Two nearby riders quickly tried to stop him with their blasts but the tough bug merely shook it off without worry. The riders quickly changed to their much more powerful stun batons and rammed them into his sides. The increased shock caused his muscles to spasm out of control, making him lose his grip on the bike which tore away from his grasp.
"No!" He hissed as he fired a ki blast at the rear tire. Thankfully the bike had yet to reach full speed as it tumbled to the ground, but the occupants were probably quite banged up which was regrettable, still as long as they were safe he could consider it a win.
The riders struck him again but no longer preoccupied with the bike he lashed out with a sword he drew from his exoskeleton, catching one of them off guard. The stuck one crumbled to the ground while the other took a fighting stance, but was blind sided as Grippa rushed it with incredible speed, knocking the machine down with the butt of his rifle.
"I got this one! Now save the others!" Grippa shouted at Brackus, who merely nodded as the feline struggled with the robot and rushed off toward the next enemy.
Kanka groaned as she opened her eyes to see a smooth face above her. "Never seen one of your kind before...must be one of those mercenaries we requested, I hope." Briefly she wondered if she was actually her captor but one quick look around told her all she needed to know.
"T-Thanks, but I'll be alright, my people need you more than they need me right now." Kanka gritted her teeth in anger at having accomplished so little while needing to be saved in the process. "Don't worry, as much as I want to get back in the fight I know I won't do much good right now." Kanka tried to move her body but the electric shock had pretty much paralyzed any muscles of major movement.
"If only I were stronger!" She tried to grab onto Rabi's arm but the grip was incredibly feeble, like that of a newborn kitten, she wouldn't recover anytime soon.
