Pin paced back and forth across the wide open room that served as a training area for the Saiyan Elite military. He wasn’t used to this sort of training environment, but he had a lot of catching up to do and wanted to do it right. If he was going to return to his place in the Empire, and this time without dishonoring the Elite armor he’d been granted so long ago, he wanted to do it in a place that was significant to the empire, not on the Pixie or out in the wastelands. He’d sent Habana a message a short while prior to his arrival, asking her to meet him here, to begin his training not just as her friend or her subordinate, but as her pupil and disciple. “ Hopefully I’ve not lost my chance,” he said to himself. He stopped pacing and removed his helmet, shaking loose his long, spikey mane. _____________________________________________________________________________ PL 119,866 Queen Habana

Habana had been pleasantly surprised when she received Pin’s message, she had known that sooner rather than later they would get back together to talk and ideally get back into training, Pin had grown stronger since last she had seen him but not nearly strong enough for a battle with someone like Xylo. Even if Pin could simply rebuild himself Habana did not want to have him struck down mid-fight during the inevitable battles that the Empire would have with the Mazoku.
His message brought her to the Palace’s main training area, intended primarily for use by the Empire’s elite soldiers. “My doors are and will always be open to you Pin, it will never be ‘too late’.” Habana said from the doorway leaning against the frame with a grin. “I made my way here as soon as I could after your call. You’re finally ready to do some real training?” Habana asked, she was a bit excited by the idea of finally getting to properly teach someone else and Pin was one of the few in the universe she felt immediately comfortable passing her knowledge on to.

Pin smiled, shaking his head. Habana always, ALWAYS had the most perfect timing when it came to walking in on him trying to have a needlessly dramatic moment, or otherwise talking about her. It was starting to become comical. He looked at her, nodding.
"I do appreciate the reassurance, Comm - Habana. Most would not be as forgiving of someone who could, without much mental gymnastics, be called a deserter."
He drew his pistol, but then tossed it to the side. If he was going to learn anything of use from Habana, he was going to have to challenge himself. Sure, fighting someone of her power was a challenge just by the merit of her immense strength, but he was going to have to get creative and learn new tricks. His pistol was his 'old faithful', and had served him well. He would never go into a real battle without it, but this was not a real battle. This was a classroom, a classroom in which he intended to get all but dismantled in the pursuit of new knowledge and new strength. By denying himself his comfort zone, he would grow in unexpected and hopefully satisfying ways.
"I look forward to your lessons. Do you want to catch up first, or shall we begin?"

Habana watched curiously as Pin tossed his pistol off to the side, she knew from experience that a lot of his primary offensive techniques were attached to that weapon which made the choice to drop it an interesting one, it likely meant that either Pin felt he had grown beyond the need for it OR that he was looking to do so if it was the latter then Habana was more than glad to help him along with doing so.
"It would have been nice if you'd given me a heads up before taking off, but it's not like you abandoned ship during any sort of major activity or turned on the Empire. Plus I don't exactly have a large enough group of people that I'm close to, to start burning bridges over something small."
"It would have been good to have you around for some of the recent shit we've had to deal with, though. If we'd been training up until then you probably would have made the fight with Walker a bit easier. But what's important is that you've returned" Habana said with a shrug, if Pin had been around for the time up until Walker's attack the combination of his likely substantially higher power and Habana knowing him better might have made the choice of the next Commander a bit more difficult.
"We can start out light while we catch each other up on what's gone on, I'll let you decide when to start getting serious." Habana said rolling her shoulders and raising her power to it's full untransformed strength deciding to see how strong Pin would start things off before transforming.

Pin smiled openly. He was glad to have such a friend in Habana, willing to forgive him his transgressions. That sort of thing wasn't exactly common on Vegeta, and even less so in the mercenary and bounty hunter world. Vanishing like he'd done was bad for business, which was well illustrated by the state of the White List. Still, it was never too late to rebuild for someone like Pin - ageless and determined, and determined he was to get back onto the horse and catch up.
"Thank you. I mean it, I wasn't expecting and even remotely warm welcome. The truth is, I had some personal business to take care of, and I didn't want anyone to think I needed help. I wanted to take care of it myself."
Pin waited for Habana to stretch a bit before turning his body into a ready pose. One of the benefits of being a machine was never needing to limber up before a fight, thought he suspected Habana was doing it more as a friendly gesture than out of necessity. His smile turned into a smirk as a reticle on his back opened up, deploying one of his four cylindrical tentacle tube-arms, launching it over his shoulder and toward Habana's face, wicked talons outstretched.
"It didn't go well."

Habana grinned as Pin made the first move, a long metallic tendril deploying from somewhere on his back and lunging out at her, the attack came fast, very fast, but at their base levels, Habana held enough edge to give her plenty of time to make a quick decision on how to respond. She snapped back allowing the tendril to soar through where her face had been as she landed on her hands
Briefly maintaining the bridged position Habana pushed off the ground with her legs bracing her weight on her arms, then as long as the arm had not yet retreated back to Pin Habana would attempt to wrap her legs around the offending limb to keep him from actually retracting it to safety.
If she successfully captured the tendril Habana would try dragging it down a bit closer to herself and then shifting her weight onto just one of her arms she’d take a swing at the joint between the actual tendril part of the limb and the area where the talons protruded from looking to break the most dangerous part of the limb.

Pin hadn't expected to hit Habana with his initial attack. He'd long since learned that it was functionally impossible for him to surprise her. Even knowing she was on a whole other level however, he still was going to give this fight his maximum effort. He could have likely pulled his metal tentacle away before Habana could grapple onto it, but he had another idea. Instead of pulling his flexible arm away, he allowed Habana to grab it.
And then he went all in on that limb, wrapping it around her waist and limbs, trying his best to lock her down. He knew it wouldn't last, but he only needed a moment. He raised his right arm and opened his hand, palm pointed flat at her. A gout of white-hot flame, his Burning Vengeance, fired out at her. Sure, he'd hit his own limb and likely slag it in the process...but he had more. _____________________________________
[N1] Burning Vengeance: Pin doesn’t rely solely on his equipment to get the job done. Pin can channel his boundless internal energy into the palm of his hand and release it as a gout of white-hot fire.

Habana smirked as she locked her legs around the tentacle cocking her arm back to take a strike at the clawed bits she scowled as she took her swing and the tendril began extending putting the bladed parts out of her reach as the tendril began its efforts to wrap around her, Habana immediately began thrashing at the limb swinging fists and elbows at the metallic limb. It was the distraction of the coiling limb that allowed Pin to take aim and unleash his gout of flame on her, she felt the sudden spark in power just as she was taking a swing at the tendril and turned her head just in time to see the flames “FUCK” she shouted internally cursing her precognition for not warning her about this sort of thing ahead of time. Habana wrenched her arm out of the grip of the tendril and raised it high to protect her face as the flames overtook the limb and herself gritting her teeth as pain surged through her entire body, the flames similarly seemed to cause quite a lot of damage to the tendril as well as Habana found herself able to kick out from its grasp and flip away landing with a grimace as she patted down herself down to put out any lingering flames. Once she had doused herself Habana flexed her hands and cracked her neck slowly returning her attention to Pin a slight grin spreading across her face as she did so much to the contrary of what one would expect from someone who had just been bathed in fire. Rolling her shoulders Habana took a step forward and would briefly vanish from sight though with Pin’s enhanced senses it was quite possible he could keep track of her movements, they weren’t particularly complex simple a massive burst of speed forward as Habana cocked her arm back and took a swing at her friend’s midsection with a glowing violet fist.

Pin grinned at Habana as his flames licked at her heels. The flamethrower maneuver was a bit niche, and often was best used to shepherd people around, but when it did its job it did it right. It felt good to pull out some of his lesser used tools. Felt right. But, soon enough Habana was no longer aflame and the tentacle he'd grabbed her with was little more than a slagged stump. He jettisoned the remains from his back, the release giving off the hiss of the compressed gas he used to expand and contract the thing. He'd replace it later.
And then she was upon him, in the blink of an eye. He'd pissed her off. Setting someone on fire will do that. She cocked her arm back and slammed a fist into his midsection. To think, a year ago such a blow would have reduced him to scrap. Instead, he felt his chassis buckle slightly and one of his internal fans locked up. It wasn't a ton of damage, but he'd feel it more the longer the fight went on.
Still, it gave him an idea.
"Let me show you something neat. Haven't had a chance to use this yet."
With a shuff! sound, all the heat vents in his body shut. With a whurr... all of the fans in his body slowed to a stop. The heat within him built rapidly, and the air around him began to wave from the rise in temperature. He wrapped one arm around Habana's waist, pulling her close as if for a kiss or a dance, but instead of either of those he began to slam his head into her face, hoping to distract her from the rapidly rising heat coming off his body. _______________________________________________________________________ [UP2]: Dead Heat: Pin shuts down not only his internal cooling systems, but disables the vents that he would normally use for Vent Heat. Using Dead Heat causes Pin to radiate so much heat that just being near him hurts. For the next 3 posts, anyone in melee range of Pin takes 22% of Pin's PL in damage - currently 241,864

Habana smirked as her strike caused a reasonable amount of damage, it was becoming quickly apparent that she would actually need more power in order to keep up with Pin’s current state a fact that actually only served to make her grin widen. While Pin seemed to be recovering from the blow Habana rolled her shoulders again and closed her eyes as he spoke focusing inward, it had been a very long time since she’d tried tapping into some of her latent power that wasn’t directly associated with her super saiyan forms.
As she did so she heard a strange mechanical sound and briefly she wondered if she’d broken something in Pin with that last punch as it was followed by a strange whirring sound. Her scouter beeped lightly indicating Pin was approaching and then to her surprise, she felt a metallic hand wrap around her waist and a sudden intense heat everywhere.
“Why’s everyone gotten so grabby lately,” Habana said with a laugh recalling her brawl with Maeve not long ago, as she opened her eyes finding Pin right in her face, he seemed to be practically radiating heat. Briefly, Habana wondered what it was Pin was planning to do here. And then he slammed his head into her face.
Triggering that latent power actually became surprisingly MUCH easier after that, a dark energy spread through her body tinting her skin a few shades darker and turning her hair a stark white. “My turn” Habana said her voice just a bit raspier than before, whenever Pin would pause in his attacking only to mimic his choice of attack driving slamming her head forward into Pin’s.
Dark Power activated, no technique used so Habana ticks back up to 2 / 3 KP

As the two stood there, pounding their heads into one another like a couple of animals, Pin could feel the heat rising even further. He knew he couldn't keep this up forever, but he was going to push it a bit longer to maximize its effect on Habana's organic body. With luck, she would find herself tired and thirsty if not flat-out burned by the time he had to reopen his vents and try something else.
In the meantime, he would meet every blow of hers in kind with one of his own. His faceplate began to crack, but vanity was no concern of his today. If anything, he took it as a sign that maybe Habana's skull was suffering similar trauma, though it was unlikely. However, he decided it was time to switch things up. He reached up with his legs and wrapped them around Habana's waist, along with his tail. He wrapped his hands around her throat and squeezed - though he knew he'd never choke her out - and started to pummel at her with his three remaining tentacle arms.
"What can I say, people just want to be close to you!"

While headbutting Pin was doing more or less exactly as she had intended the longer she kept it up the more readily apparent it became that even if she was damaging him it was doing just as much damage to herself, and while she held an edge in terms of power Pin held the advantage of not being a biological entity and potentially not actually needing his head at least not as much as Habana required hers. Her efforts had cracked open Pins faceplate but also produced a painful cut across her forehead drawing a stream of blood down her face, a change in tactics sooner rather than later was almost certainly necessary… and beyond the pain of the headbutting impacts, Habana was beginning to recognize another problem, the heat that Pin was venting had not actually stopped, in fact, it only seemed to be increasing. Deciding it best to remove herself from the situation Habana began to pull back from Pin only for his legs and tail to wrap around her attempting to draw her back in and keep her close “I think I need a bit of space” Habana said shifting around and aiming a heavy right hook at Pin’s chest. It was unlikely that that itself would entirely remove Pin so further action would be necessary, once Habana took the swing she let out a breath and let a pulse of energy out from herself the energy swirled around her as an amorphous fiery form briefly before snapping into a protective shell around her shoving the android away. The sheer amount of heat radiating off of Pin became much more apparent with her shield up, as it flickered and wavered under the intensity of it showing clear signs that the barrier was under stress as if it was being attacked from all angles. “Clever…” Habana muttered as she watched the effect the heat had on the barrier around her.

Pin had thought he was in a strong position - one that might not lead him to a landslide victory, but that might bring him just a little bit of extra pride when Habana eventually won this fight. He knew she was holding back even now, despite her sudden increase in power just moments prior. Still, if he could make her bleed as he had, he may one day stand a chance at defeating Xylo and his ilk, and any others that might threaten the things most important to the android.
He had thought his position strong, but that was based on old intel. Intel that didn't include this sudden shield technique that Habana utilized to get some distance between them. He was forcibly shunted off, and he could tell that his knee joints were going to need attention later as a result. The damage was minimal, but it's best to keep up with small maintenance issues like that.
He stood in front of Habana, his heat reaching its peak. He had no idea how long this shield might last, but that was no reason not to test it. Maybe he'd find some sort of crack or weakness to exploit. He threw himself towards Habana, aiming to deliver a punch to the shield that, should it break through, would aim right at Habana's center-mass. ____________________________________________________________________ No tech used, 2/3 KP

Habana watched curiously as her shield warped and flexed against the heat, now that she was not quite in the thick of it Habana could feel the power behind the heat, it was most certainly NOT ordinary and likely intentionally created by Pin, it appeared that all of those close to her were developing all sorts of interesting tricks. But now that she could feel the energy generated by the heat she knew it would pose her no substantial threat, it would inevitable take down the barrier but beyond that it could do her only minimal harm now, while Pin himself produced no discernable signature his abilities DID and tracing the heat’s power back to him she could feel it beginning to wane, there was a limit to how long he could keep the technique running and shortly it would be done. Pin seemed to understand this and wanted to make the best of his last moments with the heat still weakening the barrier. He rushed forward lunging at it, Habana carefully shifted her position behind the barrier taking up a more defensive stance as he approached ready for if he managed to break through. His fist connected briefly the force of the blow mingled with the heat to warp the barrier inward until it cracked and shattered dispersing like a popped bubble, an uncomfortable wave of heat rushed over Habana but she ignored it knowing it lacked the impact necessary to do lasting harm. Instead she focused on Pin himself raising an arm to take the hit she grit her teeth and then threw a hard right hook directed at the android’s cracked faceplate.

Of course Habana's right hook packed enough of a punch (pun intended) to fully cave in the left side of Pin's faceplate, leaving an ugly, cracked dent and rending open one of his eye sockets. The cosmetic glass eye normally housed within came tumbling out, revealing the glowing yellow ocular camera behind it. No matter. He bought those eyes in bulk for just this reason. More importantly, he had to restart his cooling systems, which came on with a loud whoosh and a palpable sensation of relief in his sensors.
He knew that this was no time to rest. He hadn't taken any sort of advantage, and to take a defensive posture now would be folly. Habana had deep wellsprings of power to draw upon, and so like Earth's Sisyphus Pin would need to keep rolling this boulder up this goddamn hill. He slid the Shoulder Cannon out of its housing within him and it took its place. He fired a couple of very basic, low energy shots - something he was still getting the hang of with this high-output weapon - towards Habana while thrusting forward with one of his metal tentacle arms. He was hoping one would distract her from the other.
