“Looks like you’ve gotten better at power output from that thing, you used to only use it for heavy attacks” Habana said rolling and flipping out of the way as Pin’s shoulder cannon took aim on her and unleashed a series of blasts, it was good to see that he had learned a few new ways to produce more basic energy attacks, it made the choice to toss away his pistol a lot more sensible.
Of course Pin was not willing to simply rely on the cannon to do the whole job as one of the tentacle arms lunged at her, twisting out of the way of the arm Habana spun quickly trying to get back into position to continue avoiding the incoming blasts. Unfortunately one of the blasts came just a bit too quickly and just as Habana was moving to shift out of its way it struck her in the shoulder.
Habana let out a low annoyed growl, it was becoming increasingly less enjoyable to play defense especially considering that power wise she held a distinct advantage. Cracking her neck Habana dashed forward slipping past more of the blasts as she closed the distance between herself and Pin, once close enough she would take another hard swing at Pin’s faceplate, it was so far the most exposed portion of his body which made it an ideal place to keep striking.
However, she would also take a couple of quick jabs at the shoulder cannon, much as she liked the fact that he had learned better control of it she was not about to ignore the fact it posed a threat to her in this fight.

"I've been practicing. Though really I need to work on the output capacity. If I can get it's rate of fire up, I'll have a lot more versatility."
And then came the punch to his face. He'd seen it coming, but there was little he could have done to stop it. Habana ripped all but a quadrant of his faceplate clean off, revealing the frame beneath all but his remaining vanity eye. His teeth, now revealed to just be porcelain veneers over metal rods, appeared like a fatalistic grin across his unyielding metal skull.
What he was able to protect, however, was his shoulder cannon. He was thankful that he'd thought to put it on a swivel mount when he'd installed it, as not only did that allow him a greater range of aim, but it allowed him to move it out of harm's way without having to move his body as much. Still, he took a step back after swiveling the cannon to, fro, and up, before lowering it back down to aim directly at Habana's face. Hoping that Habana was as scattered and winded as she looked, he unleashed the strongest weapon he had - a Thermal Detonator - hoping to hit her square between the eyes. He had no hopes that it would put her down, but he thought maybe it would push her to raise the stakes a little bit more.

It was good to see that even as Pin progressed with his upgrades and training that he recognized a need to continue pushing his limits. A lot of warriors that got to even half of where Pin was at usually ended up going nowhere fast resting on the fact that they were so far beyond the majority that they didn't quite NEED to push further. The war with the Mazoku was partially intended to start sweeping away that sort of mindset from those in the Empire and to an extent even beyond that as well. With a new and thus ‘scary’ force grabbing up planets and waging war with the greatest Empire in galaxy (a surely entirely unbiased opinion of Habana’s) and declaring themselves a new Empire would do a whole lot once people started to realize that the forces waging that war were on a scale far beyond what anyone was used to. Pin’s faceplate(if you could really call it that at this point) continued taking a heavy beating but Habana was glad to see Pin avoiding damage to his main weapon, assuming that she wasn’t actually causing any combat inhibiting harm to his head it made a lot of sense for the artificial saiyan to prioritize the weapon’s safety considering the extensive damage she had already done to his face. When Pin pulled back however and Habana prepared herself to step forward with him to press the battle she felt the hairs on her tail raise a warning sign just before she felt a large surge of power from a deceptively non-threatening ball of energy produced from the cannon, without knowing better Habana might have assumed it to be some sort of malfunction that Pin had intended to fire something more impressive. But the energy it contained made that orb a very genuine threat enough that it required action, and so as the ball approached Habana simply vanished from sight a slight ‘swoosh’ noise likely alerting Pin that she had pushed the limits of her speed with use of the afterimage technique though with no effort to leave an actual image behind. Habana grinned as she reappeared behind Pin, the battle had been good and had shown her that even if Pin had not pushed his limits much since last she’d seen him that whatever had kept him away was now in the past, Pin was ready to get back to work and it was time to start that path. First, though she needed to win the fight, impressed as she was Habana had no intention of creating the illusion that things would go any other way. Perhaps if she were to JUST fight him in this state he would have a credible chance of pulling something tricky off, he was after all very clever and had an ever increasing amount of tricky technological techniques. But this state was just the least of her power amplifications. Habana took a deep breath and dug deep into herself, doing what she intended to do was not going to be particularly easy but at the very least this form had the advantage of amplifying the emotions that were necessary for it. Habana’s aura would flicker brighter and with that, the room would begin to shake and rattle before her power exploded out washing over Pin briefly and giving him a full feeling of her full strength. And then with little wind up Habana would take a swing at her friend, stopping her fist just before it would make contact with the the android’s back “I think we’ll call things here, you’ve shown me what I wanted to see” Habana’s voice had lost the raspy quality of the previous form instead now returning mostly to normal only now backed up by the sheer weight of her power.

As soon as he heard that 'swoosh' noise, Pin knew the fight was over. He'd pulled out one of his strongest weapons, an escalation that Habana could not ignore, not even in a friendly training match. He felt the spike in power behind him, and Habana basically declared victory. She wasn't wrong. He turned to face her, his shoulder cannon sliding back into his body. He could feel her voice reverberating through his metal frame. She was certainly a sight to behold.
"Thank you for the fight. It's been illuminating. I wonder, though, if I pose any threat at all to our enemies, beside such titans as yourself. I think that was part of why I left in the first place."
He went and retrieved his helmet, putting it on over his ruined face. He didn't feel self-conscious, but he figured it would be easier for Habana to speak directly to the featureless visor than a metallic skull. Organic beings were weird about that sort of thing.

Habana took a few slow calming breaths as she held her arm in place for a few moments even after Pin had accepted the end of the fight part of her still wanting to press on and defeat the ‘enemy’ before her while thankfully the more substantial part of her mind continued to recognize that Pin was not really an enemy and that striking him at this point would serve nobody any benefit.
Pin stepped away and that was enough to allow Habana to relax herself a bit dropping her arm to her side and watching as he retrieved his helmet “Don’t feel like showing me your pretty face anymore now that we’re done?” Habana said with a grin rolling her shoulders and taking a moment to enjoy the overwhelming power of the form she was in.
“You may not see it that way but you ARE one of the most credible threats to our enemies. Perhaps now necessarily to Xylo personally at the moment but Xylo is not the only member of the Mazoku and you are a Super Saiyan” Habana said, true technically Pin was not ACTUALLY a Super Saiyan but he was visibly designed to BE a Saiyan, acted like a Saiyan, and had the power to rival a Super Saiyan, and as far as Habana was concerned that was all that really mattered.
“But I do believe there is something we can do for you that will elevate the threat you present even more. I’ve been trying to decide on who best to be the first person to teach this to, my original plan was Zucceta for many reasons, but she's gone and the second person I knew I wanted to teach is now back. So I think It's time I show you how to perform the Final Flash”

Pin let out an audible laugh, overtaken by a sudden and strong sense of...well, he wasn't sure. All he knew was that Habana - one of the greatest warriors he'd known - had just acknowledged him as a Saiyan. No, a SUPER Saiyan. If his mother could see him now...the miserable bitch. Before Pin could really make any sort of response, positive or negative, Habana continued. She wanted to teach him a technique, it seemed.
Oh.
OH.
She wanted to teach him...THE technique. Her 'badge of office' technique.
"Commander...Habana. You honor me, time and again. First by paying me even the slightest attention when we first met, then by continuing to encourage and cultivate my growth, and once more by accepting me back into your inner circle after my absence. And now, to teach me this technique, to have considered me your second choice after the QUEEN HERSELF..."
He paused, looking away for a moment.
"I just hope you understand...that I'm going to use it to destroy a planet one day and I cannot fucking wait."

“Lets just hope that if you’re using it to blow up a planet it’s one that belongs to an enemy eh?” Habana said with a grin amused by just how abruptly Pin had shifted from his somewhat formal response into his excited declaration. Habana had no real worries that Pin would lose control of the technique and accidentally blow up an allied world, nor that he would be likely to use it against one intentionally. Between the intelligence, he displayed in how he spoke and acted and the fact that his mind was literally a computer likely more than capable of calculating the safe ways of deploying the technique she knew it was safe in his hands.
“The Final Flash can be a bit of a pain in the ass to actually ‘get’ initially but once generating it clicks with you it's actually an incredibly simple technique to perform, it is at its core just a very big, very powerful blast of energy when released, there's nothing particularly fancy about using it it's just made to be one of the most effective ways of making an enemy into, depending on your intentions, a prisoner, a corpse, or dust. Because of how much it takes out of you and how powerful it ends up being it’s not exactly a great technique to use during standard training but as long as you can get it going it’s almost certainly going to be one of the best uses of your energy”
“Now I’m gonna start charging it up, as long as I’m restraining myself a bit these walls should be strong enough to take a few full force Final Flash’s so I keep your eyes on me and try to take in as much about the technique as you can, after that I’ll give you a rundown of how it’s supposed to be generated, and then you’re up and with luck you’ll get it on the first go, otherwise we keep trying until you get it down.”
And with that Habana took a few steps back taking in a few breaths she dropped down from the ascended super saiyan form back into the standard version, she was reasonably confident in the integrity of the walls to take a Final Flash in this form but not so much at her full ascended power.
With her power now back to a reasonable level Habana spread her arms wide in a familiar position and began gathering her energy, after a brief moment the energy would begin visibly collecting in the palms of each of her hands.

"Understood."
Pin did not feel the need to be particularly verbose for this portion of the training session. He was here to learn, and he intended to do just that. He was glad to have his helmet on as Habana assumed the Final Flash position, as it allowed him to better analyze and collate the data of what was actually happening. This would help him process that data and apply it, which would in turn help him achieve general mastery of this technique far faster than an organic being.
More than ever, he was glad to have been built with the ability to channel the energy from his energy cells as if he were a flesh and blood Saiyan channeling their own Ki energy. As much as he relied upon his technological arsenal, the ability to learn such techniques as the Final Flash was a critical edge over a machine without that option.
So he watched. And he learned.

Without the strain of having to look out for incoming attacks or keeping her attention half focused on an opponent it was staggeringly more easy to build up the power needed to unleash the full force of the Final Flash, as Pin watched he would likely feel the technique begin its build in a perhaps surprisingly unimpressive manner, the first step of the Final Flash’s build required no more power than her Kinetic Breaker, however, the moments after were where things would get interesting. The Final Flash was at its core very simple, it was not a technique meant to fake out the opponent, pull off some grant trick or to act as the counter to some odd sort of defense. It was simply powerful, its power magnified with every moment that Habana let herself charge at a rate that only one other technique that Habana was aware of could compare with. Finally after just a few moments Habana was was maintaining just shy of four times her power built up far faster than normal however Pin would likely note that the power of the technique was wild and neither ‘half’ of the technique seemed to be consistently holding a full half of the power of the technique instead the power was surging between each half through Habana. The wild barely controlled energy would soon, however, begin reigning in as Habana drew her hands together bracing her wrists against each other “FINAL” “FLAAASH” Habana roared the name and unleashed all the built up energy against the far wall, the force of the blow shaking the room and likely a good portion of the castle as well and even the reinforced walls of the training room cracked and splintered under the force of the attack. Habana was left breathing heavily afterward for a few moments. “Alright, you get all of that? If you did give it a go, I was gonna give you a wordy explanation on it but you’re smart, I wanna see how far you can get on your own first.” Habana said managing a tired grin.

Pin watched as Habana explained, and as her power built. Her energy spiked to a grand crescendo, running just a bit wild as it grew, seeming to gain a life of its own. Could this chaos really be one of the ultimate techniques of the Saiyans? Surely it was too unstable to unleash reliably.
And then she put her hands together, stabilizing her energy and balancing her body. She began to call out the name of the technique, which only seemed to stabilize the immense power further. Pin found this particularly fascinating, as he'd only used technique names as trigger commands before. She let out a mighty roar, unleashing the attack and nearly obliterating whole sections of the training room. Pin was once again impressed by his powerful friend.
And then she passed the bill to him, with no further explanations. He might have protested, but he was lucky to have the luxury or a very fancy helmet and a very fancy mechanical brain. He replayed Habana's showcase of the technique, reading and rereading the data he'd gathered. Quickly it became apparent that this technique combined two basic concepts that he was familiar with - charging its power, and removing its limiters. Pin nodded, and faced a different wall than Habana had.
He began to charge the energy within his core, allowing it to fill his body like water, like he was just an empty vessel. He then pushed it beyond his physical self, feeling the energy reach out from his body like a caged animal trying for its freedom. It felt good. It felt wild. His aura flared around him then, a hot orange that threw flickering shadows onto the walls like an open flame. He held out his hands, and squared his feet.
"Final....."
For a brief moment he felt unsteady, like the power might overtake him, might escape him. He unleashed his remaining Aranea Module arms and planted them to the floor like a sort of tripod, reinforcing his balance and restoring his focus. He picked a brick in the wall, gathered that energy into his hands like a wild animal now tamed. And with a final cry, released it with the fury and weight of his people.
"FFFFFLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!"
He didn't quite damage the wall as thoroughly as Habana had, but he was fairly sure he'd woken the neighbors. He retracted his tentacle arms, and after a quick diagnostic revealed that he was fine - just a moderate core energy depletion - he turned to Habana.
"Like that?"

It was a bit odd watching the process from an outside perspective, sure she had reviewed some videos that she had taken during her initial training with the technique trying to get even the basics of it worked out from half functional notes she had found. She’d even watched a few of the videos of her training with it after she had gotten it down fully. But watching another person entirely working through the motions of executing the Final Flash was something else entirely, the little changes to his own stance and methods were curious to Habana as she was unsure if anything Pin was doing would disrupt the technique in any meaningful way, especially considering he wasn’t accustomed to it yet. But even with the changes the process, at least as far as Habana could feel when the energy was being projected externally, was looking very much the same and most importantly it looked like it was being done correctly. Slowly the power built and built, out of curiosity Habana tapped her scouter to see how his progress was going and found the device was having some difficulty keeping up, that was a VERY good sign. An even better sign was when Pin got all the way to the point where his hands came together, this was where he would either fail spectacularly and probably need a new set of arms…. Or pull it off. It was with great pride that Habana watched Pin succeed, unleashing the Final Flash with a powerful roar even managing to do some more damage to the wall showing that he hadn’t just gotten the form of the technique down but the power as well. “Very good, I figured you would get it in no time. And now you’ve got something else on the general Saiyan population aside from the power of a Super Saiyan Pin, you’re one of the two warriors alive able to perform the Final Flash” Habana said with a very wide grin, as much as Habana loved her people she took no small amount of pleasure in the knowledge that the legendary Final Flash was at present not known by any super elite, or long-standing pure-blooded Saiyan. It was in the hands of a mid-class hybrid and an artificial Saiyans. “How about we go get something to drink, I don't know how it is for you but between our brawl and using the Final Flash I need something to help me unwind” Habana said with a sigh dropping back down to her base power and almost immediately regretting it considering how tired her body was.

Pin couldn't smile even beneath his helmet without his faceplate, but his body language was screaming with pride and joy. He'd performed one of the techniques that most people just whisper about in bars. And he was apparently one of two Saiyan citizens to know it. His father would have been overjoyed. His mother would be livid. He liked that feeling.
"A drink," Pin said, "Would be nice. It'll help restore some of my internal coolant and lubricants. Let me just run to the Pixie and install a fresh faceplate. They're mostly cosmetic but I find that the lips help significantly when taking in new fluids."
He could hear some of his joints creak, and felt one of his fans rattling inside of him. He'd need to do some more significant maintenance later, but that could wait. This was a time for celebration, and celebrate he would.
