As Suz's jaws sank into the soft flesh of Ginge's leg, the creature began to shudder. Pin shifted, knowing what would come next if Ginge didn't act fast. Suz was more insect than canine, to be sure, but many of her instincts were that of the latter. Once her jaws were on her prey, she tended to shake that prey with all her might - a move that could inflict real and lasting harm on the Saiyan warrior. He wasn't looking to cripple the young woman, quite the opposite.
Thankfully, Ginge did him proud. She didn't hesitate, and before Suz could act beyond the satisfied shaking of a predator tasting blood, she unleashed a solid attack right into Suz's mouth. Fuckin' brutal.
Suz let go of Ginge, backing up and making an awful sort of gagging, coughing sound. Her brief choking fit didn't last long, however, and soon she was leaping back at Ginge, snapping her jaws and swiping with her claws with a renewed fervor. The young woman's blood dripped down Suz's lower jaw, the inside of the creature's mouth scorched but undulating hungrily. Suz's eyes seemed to gleam with something new now, something beyond hunger. It looked almost like determination.

As the creature released its death grip on her leg, Ginge's energy dissipated with a pained gasp for air. One hand quickly grabbed at her leg to slow the bleeding, and fortunately, the slowly oozing wound didn't seem to have damaged anything vital. Furthermore, and much to her satisfaction, the creature was gagging and coughing after some of her blast had burnt the inside of its maw.
With little hesitation, the Saiyan woman tensed her body and unleashed the full brunt of her power, engulfing her entire self in a thick, burgundy aura. With a little focus and no small amount of pain, she clamped down on her wounded leg with her ki, and removed her hand to reveal her improvised wound dressing. It wasn't pretty to look at, but it would suffice, she thought as she smirked back at her choked opponent.
She crouched down as the creature leaped upon her again. Her arms rose to defend her vitals from the gashing claws and snapping teeth, and the officer roared with a mix of anger and determination as her fist came up and into her foe's underbelly. With an explosion of power from her back and legs, she grabbed at what she could to lift the bug-like hound up and off the ground with herself, hoping to carry it with her until they both hit the ceiling with a heavy thud. There, she'd spin and throw the heavy body back down just as forcefully, and follow it to the floor with both knees tucked and aiming for its exposed belly.

Pin let himself give a little applause at Ginge's ingenuity in sealing up her wound. A bad injury to the leg, if left to bleed, could mean the end of a fight coming far sooner than expected, so he was glad to see her considering these things. He watched as Ginge grabbed at Suz and soared up for the ceiling before throwing the saiba hound back down to the floor. He was curious to see what Suz would do to get herself out of this one, or if she'd be stuck taking the full brunt of Ginge's assault.
Suz, once Ginge had lifted her up, scrabbled away with her legs and wriggled to get free, but was slammed into the ceiling regardless. Upon impact, she curled her legs in around her midsection, and started making a sort of gurgling groan. She hit the ground with a dull thud, her carapace lending a certain hollowness to the sound. As Ginge came rocketing back down knees-first however, Suz scrambled upright and looked right at the Saiyan woman, her body heaving and that gurgling sound becoming more of a bubbling sound.
It wasn't long before another, much larger volley of acidic mucous was headed in Ginge's direction, hoping to meet her halfway to the floor.

The sound and feel of slamming her opponent into a steel wall wasn't quite as satisfying as she'd been hoping. Breaking rock had a certain... quality to it, and the give made the impact that much more meaningful in a way that steel didn't offer. Beyond that, there was a puzzling, dissatisfying hollowness to the creature's fall back to the floor below. This only drove her further in her need to inflict pain upon her opponent.
However, on her way back down to the floor, the creature named Suz began retching again, and a second volley of gut-wrenching mucous shot up, directly at the falling woman. With another burst of speed that jerked painfully on her wounded leg, the Saiyan vanished just as the second glob of acidic ick passed through the space she'd occupied just a split second earlier. Just as quickly as she'd disappeared, she reappeared again a mere few feet away, and continued in her rapid fall onto the creature.
With a massive, furious roar, Ginge became like a purple-colored bullet in her descent. Her burgundy aura coalesced around her legs, strengthening and empowering her limbs for the impending impact. Seconds after she'd begun her descent, she hit the floor hard, attempting to drive herself into her opponent's prone body with all of her speed and power.

Once again Ginge managed to deftly avoid Suz's acid, even with it's wider spread. And again, afterwards, poor Suz was assaulted and sent tumbling across the floor of the room. Knocked onto her back, Suz's legs franticaly thrashed in the air as she scrambled to right herself. However, she seemed to be having trouble doing exactly that. Her claws scraping at the air, her jaws clapping away at nothing, the saiba hound leg out an odd, frustrated little noise from the back of her insectoid throat.
Pin knew Suz better than that. She could right herself easily at any time. The little bugger had a plan. He was curious to see if it worked out for her.

As the creature was sent sprawling across the floor, Ginge fell to one knee where she'd landed. She clutched at her wounded leg with one tightly gripping hand, and grimaced at the intense pain wracking the unprotected limb. Her aura, unfocused and disturbed after her attack, raged around her like a dying flame, and seemed to have no interest in binding the leaking wound again.
Through labored breaths, the Saiyan glanced up at her wildly trashing opponent. A small, satisfied smirk replaced her look of barely concealed agony, and she chuckled darkly at its apparent difficulty with something so simply as getting off its own back. Her tail twitched behind her in outward glee, as well.
"She sure can... take a punch, Pin..." The young officer laughed through her stabilizing breaths. By now, the pale flesh of her leg below the wound had all but been covered in a thin veil of her own blood. Just how much could she lose before her consciousness would go, too? She wasn't interested in finding out, and as the seconds passed, her aura began to settle again as she reeled it back inward. Soon enough, she released her grip on the wound, revealing the replaced dressing made of her energy.
Suppressing a gasp of aching pain, she charged forward at her opponent again. Her tail trailed behind her as her hands rose to protect her from any potential body blows, but that was not how she'd chosen to attack the creature. Just as she'd come within reach of the bug-like thing, she reached back with her good leg, and kicked with all her might at its exposed head. It wasn't pretty, but punting the damned thing would let her stay on her feet, at least.

Pin watched as Ginge struggled to split her focus between her makeshift field dressing and the fight itself. He wondered if she'd ever actually tried that little trick with her energy before, and if not, if he should encourage her to further explore its possibilities in battle. It was certainly creative, but in its current state it was barely a stopgap measure and more of a cosmetic formality. When she turned to him to speak, allowing the battle to lull for just a moment, he shrugged.
"Bugs are tough. Suz is like a bug, I guess, so...she's tough." He said, not wanting to give away anything about her training.
Then Ginge was back at it, launching another attack at an opponent that she believed to be on the ropes and vulnerable. It was this vicious Saiyan tenacity that always impressed Pin. Sure, a certain amount of it was programmed into his own personality, but to see it for real, in the wild, was one of those wonders of nature that you just have to stop and admire. Like the blue grass of Namek, or the oceans of Shikk. Or even the awful volcanoes of Beppa.
But Suz wasn't interested in nature. She was interested in snacks and snack-shaped things. And Ginge's foot? Looked just like a big tasty snack. As Ginge launched her kick towards Suz's head, the Saiba hound finally righted herself, twisting her body and opening her mouth just in time to clamp her mandibles down hard, trying to get the Saiyan woman's entire foot in her mouth and lock her jaw around her leg and ankle.

In hindsight, kicking the creature in the head hadn't been the best of ideas. Just as her booted foot was about to come into contact with the insectoid's head, it reached out with its swift jaws and caught her in an iron grip. The sudden off-putting predicament she'd found herself in threw off the Saiyan woman's balance, forcing even more weight onto her already injured leg.
Fortunately, the weighted material in her boot was enough to hold the creature's teeth at bay. As it chewed and jerked at her ankle, Ginge reacted quickly in the only way that she knew how: she started punching and didn't quite stop. Dropping to the knee of her injured leg, she reeled back and punched at the side of the creature's head. Then again, and again. With a look of animalistic fury and purpose, she struck over and over at the thing that had hold of her foot.
Within seconds of her entrapment, a guttural growl began to exude from the warrior's throat. Again and again, she tried to force the creature off of her leg before the teeth and acidic bile could find her softer flesh, only for frustration and panic to well up from her breast. Her dark eyes furrowed against the creature, and her burgundy aura coalesced quickly around her clenched fist. With a weaponized mass of her own ki, she struck at the creature's head one more time, aiming for its neck rather than the well-protected plate of its skull.
Then, she struck again...
And again...

Suz's eyes rolled back into her head as she latched on to Ginge's leg. Even as Ginge began to pummel her, Suz showed the clear signs of a predator celebrating a kill - perhaps celebrating too soon, Pin thought. He'd have to train that eagerness out of her. Ginge was not a meal yet, even if she'd slipped up and allowed her leg to get caught.
As Ginge panicked, Suz began to thrash. It was as if she could taste Ginge's fear in the air. Pin pushed himself away from the wall against which he was leaning. This could get messy.
When Ginge came somewhat to her senses and began to strike at Suz's neck with her ki-infused fists, several things happened all at once. First, Suz clamped her jaws down harder on Ginge's leg. She would not be denied this time. She would not let go. Second, Suz began to let out a loud hissing noise, the likes of which Pin had only heard her make a couple of times. When Suz's carapace began to shift from brown to dark red, Pin finally decided it was time to step in, before Suz could go into full Bloodhound mode and cause problems.
His metallic hands slipped into Suz's jaws, and he unceremoniously pulled them apart, holding the saiba hound's mouth wide open. At the same time, his tentacle arms wrapped around Ginge and moved her a few feet away. Kneeling, Pin made a series of clicks and whistles, clearly trying to get a hold of his hunting partner.
"Good work," Pin said between clicks and whistles, "She usually doesn't freak out like this unless I tell her to or she's scared. And she's not scared of much."

To be honest, the Saiyan woman hadn't thought anything of the subtle change in the color of the creature's carapace. She was used to seeing red in battle, and all that'd mattered was freeing herself from its jaws before she'd suffered a wound she couldn't walk away from. She hadn't even noticed that Pin had left his spot by the door and approached, not until many metallic arms were wrapping themselves around her and pulling her away from the creature with ease.
"Wha- What?" Ginge's first reaction was anger. The bastard had stopped her fight, as cathartic as the brawl had been. He'd pulled her away from her opponent before they were done, and that just wouldn't do! However, the agonizing pain in her legs pulled her away from her fury for a moment, and her dark eyes did fall to inspect how badly she'd been damaged. In truth, her attempt to bind her wounds with ki hadn't done any good, and with the seconds ticking by, she could feel an unnatural fatigue settling into her.
"R-Right." She breathed heavily as the stress of the last few minutes finally hit her, and hard. A simple breathing exercise was quick to bring her rapid gasps back under control, though. With her wounded leg laid out flat and the other pulled up to get her foot as close as possible, she propped herself up on one arm as her tail curled into a small, loose spiral behind her.
Fortunately, her boot was damaged but not compromised, though her ankle did hurt after such rough treatment.
"So, you're saying I put the fear of Saiyans into her, then?" She looked between her comrade and his pet bug, a not-so-subtle smirk doing the laughing for her after her joke.

"Something like that, though probably more just a fear of you than the species as a whole. I suspect her kind has eaten more than a few chumps over the years." Pin said, releasing his hold on Suz as she visibly began to relax. He whistled at her as he stood up, and she took a dutiful place at his left side.
She looked up at Ginge, and let out what sounded like a guttural, sobbing laugh.
"That's a good sound. I think. She made that the day she finally stopped trying to kill me every time I walked into the room, so...she probably sees you as an authority figure now? Or at least not as food. I'm still figuring her shit out."
He shrugged. He was no bug expert.
"Still, I hope that was productive and educational. You showed some good instincts, and just the right amount of fire. You're gonna need both on Namek, if it's anything like what I'm expecting."

"Yeah..." Ginge breathed slowly, nodding in agreement with her superior's words. Had the fight at all been educational? She was simply fighting for the sake of fighting. It wasn't like she'd tried anything new, or learned anything from fighting the overgrown bug.
Well, she knew to be more careful around the creature's mouth, she supposed.
As the ache in her leg only grew into a throbbing mass of agony, she reached up and ran her fingers through her dark hair until they'd found the small vial that'd been tucked away behind her ear. With the ease of a practiced motion, she undid the clasp holding the vial in place and pulled it out into view, where she promptly used her teeth to free the cap from the tube, and spat the small piece of plastic onto the floor. Next came the... unpleasant part.
"Pin," the Saiyan woman began, with the vial of pinkish liquid held just over her gaping thigh wound. "Thanks." A faint, sincere grin twisted her features, for but a moment. The vial slowly tilted between her fingers, and a portion of its contents fell into the wound and began to hiss loudly as they ate away at everything that wasn't a natural part of her body. Likewise, a sharp hiss exuded from between the soldier's teeth as she winced at the pain.
Finally, the pain subsided, and was replaced by the subtle itch that all who used the healing tanks had become accustomed to. After a few moments, she drank what remained of the pinkish liquid, then tossed the emptied container away. Already, her wounds had ceased to ooze red, and she was confident that she could stand again in only a few moments.
"I think I'm going to keep training. You're welcome to stay and join me, if you'd like." Slowly and deliberately, she pushed herself back onto her feet and stood, albeit a little unsteadily for the first second or two.

Pin watched as Ginge treated her wounds. He often forgot that others - those made of flesh and blood - had to worry about such things. That their bodies required more urgent care, and that they were susceptible to all manner of infections if left unattended. He compared it to rusting when he was reminded, but his own body was so resistant to such weathering that it rarely came up. For a moment, he felt a deep sympathy for Ginge. Had he let it go too far? She was strong, to be sure, but she was still an organic Saiyan, and even Super Saiyans were vulnerable to the failings of the living body.
When Ginge thanked him, he was relieved. If she was grateful, then things had not gone too far. At the same time, he was a little embarrassed. He'd forgotten why Ginge was in this fight - he'd assumed he was teaching the young woman, trying to impart some vague wisdom that he felt he might have that she did not. She hadn't been in this one to learn. She had something in her system that she needed to express, and he'd obliged. At the same time, he had to wonder - was there really anything he - or Suz, for that matter - could teach Ginge? She had the ferocity, the instinct, and even the tactical mindset. All she lacked was the extensive field experience that so many Saiyans needed in order to ascend. Pin had been lucky, really - his mechanical body, and the opportunities he'd had in his short life had allowed him to gain great power at a speed he'd never expected. Any wisdom he could impart would be better taught in a real, knockdown fight.
He hoped that Ginge would come away from Namek with something she could teach to him.
"I think I'll retire for the moment. That Tulip woman really did fuck up my helmet, and I'd like to repair it before we arrive on Namek. Don't push yourself too hard in training - you'll need your strength for the battle to come."
Pin nodded at Ginge, and turned to walk out. As he went, Suz paused. She approached Ginge and looked up at her, looking the Saiyaness in the eye. She let out a sort of guttural bark, before nuzzling her head against Ginge's leg and joining Pin where he'd stopped in the doorway.
"When we get back to Vegeta, we should all go get a drink, yeah? I'll buy."
With that, Pin headed off, deeper into Zuccetta's ship to try and find something that resembled a workshop.
