Habana grinned as her fist connected with Riku’s jaw sending him hurtleing backwards, perhaps Riku had simply been feeling a bit overconfident from the deal they had made knowing that she was for certain in his power range was perhaps enough to make him think he could just take a stronger attack (literally) head on, that or she’d actually caught him off guard. Either way if he kept that up Habana felt reasonably certain that even with her power pulled this far back the fight would not take particularly long to wrap up.
Habana was unsure how she felt as he eventually pulled himself back to his feet, on the one hand if she’d somehow managed to just knock him out flat with one blow it would make things a whole hell of a lot easier but if that WAS the case then Habana felt fairly certain she would have felt a small amount of frustration over the lack of a solid fight.
“Call me ‘darling’ again and you’ll WISH I ended this fight quick with my full power” Habana said shaking her head at Riku as he removed his heavier clothing, at first Habana wondered if it was some sort of weighted clothing and that soon Riku’s power would leap but once he tossed it away there was no discernable shift in his power, a pity as it would have meant she could have raised her own power to compensate.
Habana patiently waited for Riku to ready himself again, there was not necessarily a need to take advantage of the distraction as more than a little of her reasoning for this fight was to get a decent fight, Riku launched into battle quickly once he’d removed his warrior caste garments sending a flurry of blasts paired with a single much larger burst of energy.
Habana could feel that the smaller blasts were -mostly- inconsequential provided she could avoid most of them, the REAL problem was the bigger blast, flipping backward to give herself a bit of extra time Habana ducked and weaved past a few of the small blasts allowing a few of the others to tag her striking her shoulder and leg, Habana raised her arms to protect her fact as the bigger blast drew near impacting her and sending her skidding back.
Habana grit her teeth as the burst burned her arms and nearly threw her back but thankfully she managed to remain standing, flexing her arms Habana let out a heavy sigh as pain shot through her body. Despite the pain Habana began to slowly grin as her right hand began to glow emanating purple energy just as it had before however Habana made no obvious moves to start after Riku this time.

Riku grunted as he swung his fists at Habana, who simply dodged, ducked and back-stepped. He let out a low growl as he faltered for a moment, then shot a large ki blast at the saiyaness. He felt a small surge of adrenaline, to be engaged in a battle so close to being equal made him feel excited. However, his excitement faded as he saw Habana tank his blast, simply blocking it with her arms shielding her body.
Riku noted the aggravated tone in the commander's voice as she threatened him for calling her darling. He couldn't help but smile a little, her anger wasn't really intimidating, at least not at the moment. As he watched carefully how she blocked the blast, he saw her wince slightly. He realized just how much more vulnerable she was currently, and believed it would be easier to cause her downfall.
Riku raised an eyebrow as he saw a faint purple light. The light reflected off of his face, and his eyes lowered to Habana's fist. The same flow of ki engulfed her as earlier, and Riku could only assume she intended to strike once more. The warrior took a stance, then wondered why she hadn't attacked. It occurred to him then: she was charging her attack. His eyes widened, slight dread in his eyes. Hoping he could interrupt her, Riku shot out four basic ki blasts. He raced behind the blasts, trying to follow up so he could deliver a punch that would cause her to abandon the technique. He only hoped the blasts would keep her from moving in time for Riku to strike.
"Shit, shit, shit..! Gotta stop her!" Riku knew that if he couldn't stop the attack, he would most likely be injured, and would only last a few more punches before collapsing.
KP: 3/3 Basic ki blasts shot in order to slow Habana and strike her with a punch.

Habana smirked as she watched Riku, at first he seemed a bit smug over his attack landing successfully but then after a few moments he seemed to slowly realize that she was not simply rushing in to strike at him again and with that realization came a need to try and prevent her from building up her attack for too long. It amused Habana to see the sense of urgency over what was not effectively a particularly powerful attack in comparison to what some of her other techniques were capable of.
As it stood she’d only just taken her Kinetic Strike up to the second tier of power though in taking her time with it, she was effectively spending a bit less energy than would be needed if she had just sent a true Kinetic Strike at him. Riku’s first efforts to stop her were a quick series of energy blasts behind which she could feel him making his way towards her.
She managed to avoid a few of the blasts but with her somewhat limited ability to move while charging the rest pelted her singing her skin and damaging her armor a bit. It was Riku himself that would most certainly pose the biggest risk, and it was for that reason that once Riku drew in close Habana would cut the constant flow of energy to her arm cutting it off where it was and as Riku took his first swing at her his fist would be met with Habana’s glowing purple fist as she sought to clash his unprotected limb with her enhanced one.

"AGHHHHH!!" Riku growled as he went spiraling back from their fists colliding. The warrior crashed to the ground hard and got on one knee. He grimaced as he looked at his white knuckles, tainted with small amounts of blood. Attempting to clench his hand into a fist, Riku yelped as he failed to close his hand. He held it with his opposite hand and slowly lifted it closer to his face. The pain was excruciating, and he was sure his hand was broken.
His right arm was limp, and his hand was broken, putting him in an even worse situation. He cursed himself for falling right into that attack, then gazed back at Habana. There was no hate in his gaze, but irritation and annoyance was obvious, as well as determination. He stumbled to his feet and attempted to shake his hands, the pain increasing after a few shakes. He paused and took a deep breath.
His hand being broken was extremely unfortunate, but he couldn't let it stop him from fighting for his freedom. Riku snarled as he engulfed himself in red aura. The saiyan in black leaped towards Habana, stopping halfway. He brought his good hand to his side and a red glow came from his palm. His face strained slightly, before he threw his arm forward.
"FINAL BLOOD CANNON!" Riku screamed as a red ki wave shot out towards the saiyaness. It was a powerful attack, and it could cause someone great damage, possibly injury.

There was a very brief moment when Riku and Habana’s fists clashed against one another where there was a struggle of physical might… up until her Kinetic Strike unleashed its full power directly into her opponent's hand, Habana almost cringed as she heard a distinct crack before Riku was send flying away from her. She knew for certain that her own hand and arm were fine which meant that it had been Riku’s arm that had not held up under the pressure. He was still surprisingly quick to recover glaring at her as his arm hung limp.
Habana knew better than to simply write the fight off as done with even though her opponent’s arm had been broken, she had herself faced a similar situation in an admittedly less serious battle against Zucceta where the Queen had all but broken her wrist and Habana had simply soldiered on utilizing anything else at her disposal.
Habana’s eyes fell away from Riku’s glare as she felt a surge of power from him, at his side his good arm was glowing red as he prepared an attack, Habana waited to see exactly what Riku was doing with this attack whether or not he was charging up for something big or not and her answer was brought swiftly as Riku with some discomfort aimed his hand at her and unleashed his ‘final blood cannon’
Habana could immediately see that the technique was at her current level not one to take lightly, unfortunately she lacked the power to simply counter it with another Kinetic Strike, her eyes briefly glassed over as she received a few quick flashes of insight into the intended path and blast radius of the attack.
Shaking her head as the attack drew nearer Habana took a running start at the final blood cannon and then performed a quick frontflip over it letting it pass under her safely, Habana landed and immediately took off again unsure if her brief vision had been trying to indicate that Riku could detonate it at will.

Riku groaned as he saw Habana leap over the blast, blasting forward in case the blast were to shift her way. He panted, his energy somewhat drained from that attack. He hadn't used a ki blast like that in so long, and now after performing it he felt slightly rusty. Sighing deeply, Riku began to dash forward, staying on the blue grass to avoid straining himself any more than he needed to.
His arm pulled back, he leaped towards the saiyaness with a determined expression. The punch was simple, he would engage in hand to hand combat to keep the commander from unleashing a blast. He doubted he could fight back a blast from Habana without using his whole being. He winced momentarily as his injured arm spasmed slightly.
His face hardened as he tried to fight through it and deliver his blow. He would attempt to punch and then unleash a fury of kicks towards the saiyan commander. It was a decent effort, so long as she doesn't end up breaking his other limb, or limbs for that matter. That, if anything, would be his eminent demise in this battle.
"Don't think this will hold me back, Habana! I will still fight stronger than ever, so keep your guard up! HA!"

Habana grinned at the look of clear frustration on Riku’s face, those sorts of looks when she utilized her precognition would NEVER get old. Now though she could not afford to let up, continuing forward as Riku decided to dash at her as well the two would quickly meet up with Riku taking the initiative to throw the first strike in this exchange. He’d made a leaping strike at her and one that allowed her just enough time to guesstimate where he would land roughly and with that Habana simply continued running forward, once Riku was close enough she tipped forward into a roll to slip under his punch causing him to strike the ground behind her, Riku would not be deterred by her efforts though and proceeded on with a series of kicks once he turned to face her, Habana twisted and dodged past the first couple, a few of the faster ones requiring her to either take the blow or simple block it to lessen its impact. “You say that, but no ‘stronger than ever’ you have can really match up to what I can throw around. You’re just lucky that I’m taking such great pains to give you a chance to live” Habana said with a roll of her eyes as she blocked a few more blows, taking up a more distinctly defensive stance and allowing a few glances into the future Habana would rapidly become harder and harder for Riku’s standard assault to hit, for now, she would play things defensively, regain some energy and see if she could force him into a less comfortable attack style. "If you do, by some miracle manage to win this, I do want you to remember that it is ONLY because of my kindness. If I really wanted I could have snapped your arms and legs and knocked you out when I arrived and been done with this nice and quick, I would have even gotten what I wanted since you'd have been unable to prevent me from dragging your carcass to Knutts" and a couple more verbal jabs thrown into the mix to see if she could also throw his emotions off balance, maybe he'd even be fool enough to transform.

Riku continued to throw his feet at Habana, sometimes actually aiming and other times simply trying to throw her off. It was in vain mostly, except for a few kicks that pretty much did nothing. Closing his fist tightly, Riku was about to launch a punch when Habana began to speak, saying that the only reason Riku was still fighting was because of her kindness, and that none of what Riku considered his strongest would do him any good. The saiyan gritted his teeth, she wasn't wrong, he knew that. However, he refused to believe it was SOLELY her kindness that kept him standing. He must be doing something right, at least he thought so.
Riku's eyes narrowed as Habana took a few moments to throw some harsh words at him, and stated that right now it was only because she was allowing it that he wasn't being dragged to Knutts, dead or unconscious. Hell, he wouldn't even be able to stop Habana if she did try that. The warrior caste leader grimaced, then slightly "hmphed" to himself. He launched himself back a few feet with the punch bouncing off of Habana. The saiyan opened and closed his hand, something he did often when he wanted to stay calm.
Trying to retaliate he spoke up, asking the saiyaness a question."Did you, by any chance, have something...special with Aspa before, well, before you went to join Zucceta. I'd like to know a bit more about the team, seeing as I was the newest member, and am now the sole survivor apart from you."
Riku felt himself entering deep water with that question. He never knew exactly what went on with the members and their private life, and considering Aspa and his...high regard of this woman and the strange expression he used to have when speaking of her, Riku simply wanted things to be cleared up.
KP: 3/3

Habana smirked as Riku showed visible signs of at the very least annoyance at what she had said about him, though from what she had observed so far he likely had to bravado to believe otherwise, the sad truth however was that it really WAS just by her choice that he had this opportunity and even bringing herself down to his level while certainly, it made things infinitely more difficult it was simply a matter of fact that she knew she could end this at any time, to disregard her statement that she would give him his chance to win freedom.
Part of Habana almost wanted to call the whole thing off, to just let the wayward Saiyan be if others in the Empire recognized him he’d have no end of enemies because of his actions, did she really need to waste her time with him?
Habana was drawn from her thoughts as Riku spoke up questioning her relationship with Aspa under the pretense of wanting to know more about the team, it felt like an attempt at a dig at her emotions just as she had tried on him by insulting his power “Aspa was the one who suggested my inclusion into the squad, he was a friend, one of the few on the short list alongside Zucceta. I never really realized it much at the time but in hindsight, I’d wager he had something of a crush on me, he was, unfortunately, a bit too young and not quite my type” Habana said with a shrug.

The Warrior Caste least stared at Habana momentarily, then he sighed and folded his arms. Her response was something he was expecting, at least her guess was. Aspa indeed seemed fond enough of her to have strong feelings for her, but Riku wasn't Aspa, so he couldn't say yes or no. After a moment of silence, Riku turned his back to Habana and stared up at the sky. His stood there motionless, as if searching for something lost in he green sky.
It had finally gotten to him, the fact that his battle held no significance to Habana. She was only playing his game, she wasn't affected by his battle in the least. Her strength was much more than his, and Riku knew it too. Shaking his head, the saiyan projected his voice so Habana could hear him. "I see. Well, Habana, I guess there is no point in this anymore..."
Riku turned to her and outstretched his arms and dispersed the ki he was engulfed in. He would no longer fight here, it wasn't getting anywhere. "I shall not fight any longer. I have realized how pointless my efforts here against you have been, and how much I have endangered the Namekians with my actions. I only wish their safety. If you will go along with incarcirating me, then I will not resist. If you wish to strike me down, go ahead. I only ask the Namekian people be treated well and with respect."
"If you wonder why I have decided this, it is because I have no quarrel with you, personally. Yes, I am a traitor to the EMPIRE, but I do not hate our race or treat them horribly. I respect all individuals equally. However, the form of government, the ruling power we have, simply disgusts me. Our militaristic ways have brought us so much "glory", but have also brought the destruction of others. I wish to alienate myself from that, for I seek righteousness, not death. I apologize for abandoning what I do not believe in."

Habana raised an eyebrow as Riku made his declaration, at first she assumed him saying there was ‘no point in this anymore’ was an effort to throw her off while he prepared some sort of attack. Thus far Riku had shown a rather surprising inability to feel energy in the same way she could meaning it was entirely possible he was unaware that such an ability even existed. With that in mind Habana waited for the feeling of energy building to start.
Instead she felt his power falter and fall off dropping down to what she assumed to be his ‘resting’ state of power, more than most warriors could ever throw around but even less threatening to her than his full strength. He followed this action up by stating his surrender, that he had come to realize that this fight was futile and seemingly came to understand her perspective to some extent. He wanted the Namekians safe and was now willing to go to Knutts to ensure it.
“I have to say Riku I’m rather surprised, somewhat pleasantly so at that. I have to say I really wish you had not turned against the Empire, you have an interesting perspective on things that would have been beneficial to the Empire. You could have done so much more by standing with it and seeking change. I’m unsure exactly how much information you get on the wider galaxy here but I’ve put forth a lot of efforts to change the Empire’s methods. Perhaps not exactly in line with your ‘righteousness’ but quite a bit less genocidal than we have been in the past”
“Since you’ve made this simple and been fairly reasonable about this I’m going to give you a bit of leeway, I still have some things I want to wrap up here on Namek and while you are surrendering it would be foolish of me to have anyone but myself bring you to Knutts. So long as you remain on Namek you are free to act as you have been until I am prepared to leave. I would suggest if you have not done so already to train up a replacement for the Warrior Caste.”

Riku arched an eyebrow as Habana mentioned how he could have been a great help to changing the Empire. The Caste leader didn't know if that was true, he felt that the stubbornesa of so many saiyans would overpower whatever reform he wished to make. What pleased him, or at least eased him, was that Habana was making efforts to make Namek a great planet and to keep it protected. This was something the saiyan appreciated, but he didn't exactly say it.
"I hope that is so, Habana. I will go serve my time, but if anything happens here I will break free and come to you first. That is what I wish you remember, because if it happens...You'll see just how much power I have."
Riku turned around as Habana told him that they would leave once she finished up some things on Namek, and that in the meantime he should train a replacement. It occured to him, that he had yet to teach someone he found worthy in the arts of the Warrior Caste. He hadn't met many who had the strength to undergo the training, so finding someone would be a trial in and of itself. Not wanting to waste anymore time, Riku's aura flared as he prepared to set off to the village.
"I will be going, Commander Habana. I wish not to waste my time here. I must tell those closest to me of my departure, and my search for a replacement will quite possibly take me longer than expected, do every moment matters. We will meet again when you depart, until then."
With that, the Warrior Caste leader flew off into the green sky, slowly fading in the distance. He wondered who would be his successor, and when he would leave. Only time could tell.
Thread Exit! This took a while xD I'll take Zeni.
