Leon would laugh a bit to the girls explanation of her situation. Leon kept forgetting most people didn't have the same kind of sick idea of combat he did. However she was a very capable warrior and it gained Leon's respect. Not to mention her reason for fighting was to protect, not destroy, admirable. However foolish and fool hardy way of going about things in his mind.
"Well met, Miss Hall. I am programmed for body guard and recovery, or escort services. My evaluation may have been... Misconstrued by your technique and fluidity in combat. However since you are new to Planet Namek, allow me to escort you free of charge for a little bit and I can give you cultural and growth backround of the Namekian people and their home."

Something about the way he said what he did sounded odd. "Does everyone new on Namek get a bodyguard and escort service? You make it sound like I am being expected." She walked a few feet to grab her belongings where she dropped them and back to the Android.
She would not be able to help feeling relief knowing there will be someone who can make sense of things finally. she knew she was a real country bumpkin, learning as she goes from her home in the mountains, to a short time in the city, to finally another planet all together. With her resting her staff against her and her bag drapped over her shoulder she would follow the android where ever she needed to go.

Leon would lead them on a walk to a hover car he used to get around.
"Oh no, not expected at all. I was hired by some noble from Arkosia during the big tournament. I just happened by figured you would prefer not to get involved in any more skirmishes like that one?"
Along the ride Leon would fly a few hundred yards by a Namekian village.
"That is what you will see mostly. A village of Namekian's growing plants to feed themselves. However now they farm to feed themselves and trade with Earth. Their food doesn't grow that fast so it's a delicacy. The place is mostly water, even more so than Earth, as that is the primary life source of the people it's a win win for them."

Rhona saw the hover as she followed Leon. "Well I guess, that is a bonus, What was that all about anyway, like maybe it is just some feud between species, or a testosterone battle? Either way I guess the food was not what they cared about. Still I guess I can be happy knowing I saved everyone a lot of trouble and time by putting myself in the way."
She readjusted her bag on her shoulders and her Bo to her other hand. The information was useful, even for a small planet, she was interested in knowing more about it. She used her hands to defend, she worried a bit on what would happen once the two nitwits decided to wake up. If they opted to try and kill each other again she prayed it was not going to continue its original path toward the populated area. Although she began to believe that King Kong was an alien too, the big monkey that grew in front of her and the both of them with their energy blast, it was completely out of Rhona's comfort zone.
She felt in her pocket where the tournament flyer was folded and worn in her pocket. "I might have been in shock just now, I did come here for a taste of battle. To feel the excitement of a good spar again, I had not expected any of what I just saw. I believe I did enjoy the battle a bit, but now I feel like I might have bitten off more than I can chew." she grinned looking at the ground rather sheepishly using her free hand to tug at her Mother's pearl earrings.

Leon would turn the hover car expertly, as he allowed his android programming to drive while he scanned the area for threats and information. She seemed to be unfamiliar with most the other species of fighters she would be running into. Seemed she would need a quick run down.
"Well, this Galactic Tournament is to improve relations with the other planets in our quadrant of the universe. Arkosia, Vegeta, Mythros, Earth, Namek, and Terrac. You met a Saiyan and an Iceling/Changling/Arkosian. Whatever they go by. They are a race that run on nobility measuring their status by how many transformations they have and how many planets they own. Arkosia itself has very little to no atmosphere and is frigid ice-land as far as you an see. The people can survive in any environment even if they are missing parts of their body. Then the Saiyan's, you can pick them out by muscle mass, armor, scouter, and tail. Not to mention the higher than thou attitude. They are ruled by their King, who takes the name of the planet Vegeta. Full Moon's, or energy similar to that can cause them to turn into those big monkeys."
The car would be a few hundred yards from a very tall spire like mountain with a single large hut on top.
"That is where the eldest, and wisest of the Namekian's lives. He watches over and guards the planet."

As she sits in the car she rested her Bo in her elbow and supported it between her feet as she scratched an itch by her nose. She took in what he said and made mental notes about the Saiyans and Arkosians. Her facial expressions were minimal as if mostly pondering, There was a lot to think about and she had quite a bit resting on her shoulders and until she can figure out how to resolve the problem, she has to carry them.
"So they are all like that? Then if that is the case the Eldest Namekian must be really powerful, other wise I would wonder how it survives frequent visits from the other conquering species, right?" Rhona looked at the Android and pointed her thumb over her shoulder back towards the area where her battle was, referring them to being the conquering species. She was making assumptions. Looking forward again, noticing the mountain, her hand fell back to it rested on her belongings. The mountains were her home and it was almost familiar and comforting. Even if it looked nothing like any mountain she ever lived on she still liked higher places, that was where she was comfortable.

Leon would nod her assumption was very correct. He liked that she was aware of the situation Namek was under.
"Namekians are born natural powerful, taking on the power of their parent to continue the growth, however nothing in their society requires the power. Each village one to three warriors to protect it. That is enough for the entire planet and that is the limit the Elder allows. So Human and other such races volunteer to maintain the planets peaceful ways. Thats why I'm here. I was sent by the Dragon Capsule Corporation to defend the inhabitants. I'm accepting side jobs to stay entertained from time to time."
The ship would come to the entrance to a real thriving city with hundreds of people, not the sparse villages of near twenty or so they had been passing.
"And this is Namek's only city. Built by Earthlings to help relations and share culture. This si where the Tournament will be held."

The city she just left on Earth might have been bigger than this city, still the whole feeling and crowd were quite different. From the buildings and the people.. well the diversity of people anyway. She was starting to get used to the newness of it all. even as she said that there was so no way her eyes would stop looking 20 different directions taking it all in.
"Then if they are having issues with invaders wouldn't a tournament draw in the wrong kind of crowd? Being such a big universe, you can only imagine that there is, "always a bigger fish" as they like to say." Rhona's perspective on things has changed seeing the new world, the new vastness of what small world she had been on, even if Namek was smaller than Earth, still was one of the smaller rocks in it's galaxy. Still until today that was the limit to her entire universe.
"Also how do I sign up for the tournament and where is a good place to sleep?" She was not sure where the end of her ride with the Android would end so she began asking the questions she needed to know as well as wanted to know. She had hoped not to keep him away from his duties any longer than he had to be.

"Drawing the wrong crowed sure. The idea however is if Namek can be seen as a world of neutrality through this tournament they can focus on simply doing what they do. Help everyone. That's an impossible and foolish goal, though it is no less romanticized in the eyes of everyone who has learned it so far."
Leon would shrug as he looked around for a second before making a turn and heading towards the center of the city.
"I'll take you to the arena then. You can sign up and you can either stay there, room and board is paid through some small tasks to help prepare the arena, or you can opt to stay with one of the villages we saw on the way out here. Though if you are going for that option you really should learn to fly."

"I see your point, I guess I get to learn this for myself in due time."
Rhona scratched a short shaved side of her head. Then she saw she had a hair band on her wrist from the morning before. She preceded to french braid her bleach blonde hair strait down the middle the process would not take long, she was quite skilled at french braiding. It was the most efficient hair style for training classes with her father.
"Do you mind explaining a bit more about flying? I mean you are talking about getting one of these capsule pods and using it right? I don't have a whole lot of money, these things are kind of exorbitant right?" She held the hair tie at the corner of her mouth as she spoke and she was about half way down her braid by this point.

Leon would look over at the female, nodding at the braid in approval, however the alk about flight... Such an Earthling statement.
"Actually, I was talking about flying using your Ki. I noticed the Saiyan and Icejin where using it as normal, while you were stuck planet side. As well you used no energy attacks. Have you been trained in such abilities on Earth?"

Rhona laughed, it was not a loud laugh more low in her stomach as she finished her braid to the end and tied it off. "Not much Ki was practiced in our Dojo, it was something my Father never learned completely before I was born. We did use it for meditation, but you are seriously telling me you fly using Ki?"
Rhona's right brow was arched as high as it could go. Her fathers skill was commendable but he did not keep many students as he gave up his training for Rhona's Mother and her. It was a tough time still Ki was something that even if she was hearing this and barely believing it, there was no doubt that it seemed many people did know how to hover, fly, and throw balls of energy at each other, and that was not just her imagination. Of course if it was possible for her to figure how to use it all then a fight like that would have been over much shorter than it ended up being. If it was not for Leon she would have been nice and crispy.
"Say I believe you, How would I go about learning to channel my Ki to bring myself off the ground?" Just screw with waisting time, she was going to go along with the experience and she was determined to grow stronger.

Leon would listen to her. She had much to learn, this whole experience with the tournament would be great for her. He'd continue on the way to the tournament arena as he decided to answer her in turn.
"I no longer use Ki... I volunteered to be made into an android when I died."
Seven years and it still bothered him a bit. However he did at one time, though he was no where near as powerful as he is now, or as strong as she is.
"I could teach you, or the Namekians would be happy to. Meditation is a good starting point, though you would combine that with concentrating on trying to make it into something physical. Like a ball of energy. That will teach you control, then it's as simple is forcing the energy under you to lift off."

Rhona leaned back in her seat and smiled while piddled with her fresh braid between her fingers. "Well thank goodness you are still alive or else I might have been a goner." She said. "I guess if anyone has the time to teach me then I'd totally be grateful to learn from someone, I won't be picky, are you sure you or anyone else would not be too busy with the tournament to help me?"
She grew more comfortable as the ride went on and even being from a small town she knew this was going to take some time. So far she has gotten lucky and so far she hoped to keep that luck up. This android decked out in green began to feel like a four-leaf clover. Still she couldn't get too comfortable yet she still had a bit of a ways to go before that, beginning to realize she might be a bit out of her league, she needed to learn quick. She even began to review in her mind the memories of meditating with her Father, sometimes Mother would even join those as it was very relaxing after a stressful day. Those days felt fun being together like that, she spent so much time with her Father that her Mother was reserved for other memories that mostly had nothing to do with the dojo and such.

Leon would chuckle again.
~Technically... I'm dead.~
Finally he'd turn to Rhona.
"I can teach you after we get you set up at the arena. Need to make sure you have a slot and a place to stay."
Finally pulling into the arena front drive way, he'd pull right to the door. Leading inside he would stop at the front desk to introduce Rhona.
"I've brought a fighter that wants to join the tournament. Earthling Rhona Hall. She will need a room."
It'd take some time, but eventually Rhona would get her card for her room and Combatant Identification Card.
