Okay they went to annoying to quite the sting now and irritated Rhona like being whacked with a stick. "Damn it... I am breaking your toys Bana!" But she spoke too soon and saw a blast come for her and as he predicted she had just enough time to block it. "Damn..."
So many things were happening at once. Rhona has not really dealt with dealing with so many enemies at once and it was quite over whelming. One arm remained blocking her face and from the other pods firing at her. The other took advantage of her low position and touched the floor to redirect her flight directly at Bana. That same arm would come forward with the other and she aimed to tackle the Truffle. She had an idea about it all. If the pods were locked on her then getting into an all out wrestling match might prove to make Bana a somewhat shield.

"I can repair them." It's what he did for a living.
The pods continued to shift around and reposition themselves as Rhona began to move. Her tackle would land firmly, knocking Bana on his back as they slid against the floor. He'd bring his legs up to wrap around her legs and both of his hands up to attempt to grip her head with both of his hands. Energy already building up in his palms as the remaining three pods fired at her exposed back with their targeting computers.
Bana once he got a grip on her he'd fire the energy blasts from his palms at point blank range on her head. She was a tough one so he was sure she would be fine.

His hands would remain at her head while she forced on good yank on his shoulders and rolled. She would bring his back to be shot at by his pods for a moment. She did not know how strong his suit was but he fired his point blank range and it was bright She actually lost some of her vision momentarily at the very least and there was the smell of burning hair other wise it was not much different than being slapped in the face with a hot spatula.
But disorienting as the bright spots at each corner of her eyes she closed them quickly and rammed her face into his. She'd hope that could stun him while the laser attacks were shooting and she could use her Ki to get up. Her grip would be Iron and unyielding and reduced to one hand after the head butt.
This was a battle that might call for a very close range. She switched gears hoping for the best. One gripped hand on him and the other to be used for other things. "Now... we are going to Dance."

The headbutt sent him reeling momentarily though the armor and padding in his suit protected him from real harm from the headbutt. At least at the current power that she was using. The one laser shot that managed to hit him while they rolled in their brawl glanced off his armor with little more than a scorch mark blemishing his suit.
"Oh honey, this isn't the time or place for that."
He smirked behind his helmet, though quips aside a hand to hand melee was not something that he'd win at. He knew that, it was not his specialty. When she used her Ki to get up his thrusters fired up to provide him with distance to keep fighting like he preferred. Both palms charging up again before firing more plasma blasts right at her face. Since that seemed to have some effect at least.

Where did that bit of personality come from? It made Rhona laugh just before she was staring at his blasters again.
His thrusters jerked him out of her grip but she was right with him in seconds. "I can fly too remember?" She reach to grab him again and flipped him around so that he was facing the pods with those hand blast. She'd try to make him shoot one of them as convenient as that would be it was a slim chance to take and she was aware of it.
Still those things were annoying even if not too harmful like someone poking you with a sharp pencil in class. She was accustomed to pain and it did not really bother her that much but when it is repetitive like that it got on her nerves more than anything. If he was out of her reach and she was unable to shift him around She'd try to avoid the blasters by back flipping mid-air him successfully achieving more distance between them and she'd be on the defensive again back on the ground with her hands up blocking all but two of the pods laser attacks.

"I'm not one to forget such details."
Even if they were inconvenient. But that was reality. And reality was that the Tuffles were the genetic underdogs when compared to the brutish races that seemed to fill the galaxy. Humanity included. But whatever their shortcomings they could be overcome with prudent planning, forethought, and ingenuity.
Such as the pods.
The pods were not stationary and continued to move with the both of them. Shifting in real time with the moving battlefield and when Rhona twisted Bana to try and put him between her and the pods it was a simple matter for them to shift slightly to keep her locked in before firing even more lasers at her.
Bana for his part would twist his arms so that the palms were once more facing her. His palms facing her hips as energy built up. pressing his hands back to try and make contact with her he'd fire two more blasts. It had already proved that it wouldn't do lasting damage, the suit was still too weak. But it might make her think twice about grabbing him.

"Youch! Shots fired where she did not expect them to and that cost her. Her attention was incredibly divided and it apparently gave Bana an advantage.
She had let go of Bana and brought her hands up feeling more from the pods. She took a breath and tried to think, the skin on her hips tingled as if sunburned from the point blank range. The last shot from the pods fired. Her arms were growing tired from the constant barrage of lasers.
"I might need to invest in some arm guards if you are going to make these a regular thing. What do you think? Might look good on me?"
From between the spaces of her arms she spotted a Pod and readied a blast in one hand to break her block and focus on it taking the last shot to the cheek making her flinch a bit glad it did not hit her eye. With better focus and better aim this one she prayed would hit. As she stood still so it did not follow her for another second before zipping off again to make chase.
She did not really give mind that this would be quite the overkill she would be a bit more erratic as she was pressed against. The extra power behind that blast was out of her losing focus and grip on her temper.

He'd laugh. Honestly while a decisive victory in conventional means was beyond the capabilities of his suit as they were currenly he was viewing this all as a huge win for his newest innovation. Considering that she was currently around three times the strength of an average elite Saiyan warrior and it was giving her this much trouble. That boded quite well for future combat applications to this new design.
"You really want my opinion on what you'll look good in?"
Oh the things he could say. But the fun and games seemed to be brought to an abrupt end as she fired another energy blast, this one sending his scanners blipping in warning at it's sudden spike in intensity. The blast obliterated the pod that she fired at, without question. And yet Bana grinned triumphantly behind his mask.
"Annnnnd I win."
He'd pretty much gotten what he needed out of this now. The pods proved to be a huge success.

She shrugged. "Haha well if you don't have one that is fine too." She readied another blasts from her other hand peering trough her arms when it all stopped. That blast fizzled out and she dropped her arms.
He claimed triumph over this and frankly... he was not wrong. "Damn..." She flopped back on her bum and her legs straightened in front of her. However she admired how he used the strength in numbers in a sense. she took a couple of deep breaths cooling her motor for a moment. Too bad it doesn't cool her skin, so to say he tanned her hide. "Ah... I guess I was about to go overboard... Good going Bana... "

Of course he did a good job. He was Bana Smoothie! And he would lead the Tuffle Empire to their ultimate victory! It was good that she recognized that. Once he touched down and Rhona powered down his pods would retract back into the suit before the suit folded up and back under his clothing. The smug look on his face now there for the world to see.
Folding his arms over her chest he'd look Rhona up and down. Giving it a thoughtful moment of consideration. He doubted it was what she wanted to hear, but that wasn't the type of thing to stop him.
"Well I'd say change the hair and try a dress. But I don't think you'd be able to pull of the aesthetic. You'd probably get super self conscious about it."
A shame, but he could see her cleaning up well if she tried it.

Mid-breathing she pulled her head up and just look at him. Hearing what she said took her a moment to process. but she exhaled a laugh. "Goodness you sounded like my Mother just now!" As thick as her hair was shaving the sides just cut the volume for it about nearly a third making the whole mess manageable by common hair tie. But she was not going to complain about the almost compliment.
"Still you'd might be surprised... I have great balance in heels, despite not having some feminine grace and fluidity in my form, so you can expect me to not have some exaggerated, hip swaying, cat walk." It was not like she was so tomboy-ish that she'd refuse dresses, she was only a bit less comfortable in them as wearing pants.

"Your Mom sounds like she has good taste."
He didn't mind women in pants or dirty. Honestly, if a woman was grossed out by oil and getting her hands dirty it was a major sign that he wasn't interested. But she'd asked what he thought she'd look good in, and considering he'd only ever seen her in those weights and fighting clothes. He was going to stick to his answer.
"Maybe, but I'm not doubting your ability to walk in heels."
He was doubting her ability to actually get all cleaned up and change the image that she presented herself in on such a fundamental level.

"Thanks." She flashed a smile. She felt she was cooled down and the floor was getting chilly. Taking a stand she jerked on her jacket fluffing it up.
Maybe one day when the occasion arises there would be a reason for Rhona to get "cleaned up" it might happen but it was not often she had the chance. It was not like she wore things just to look good.
"So did you get all that you were... calculating?" She shrugged not sure if that was the right word to describe what ever he was doing in that helmet.

"Yup."
He'd gotten the data he needed and saw it's effectiveness against her. From that he could extrapolate it's performance against the typical Saiyan warrior according to Tuffle intelligence. With some improvements as well he could see the pods being a serious game changer for him.
With his transformation complete Bana would head over to the smoldering wreckage of the last pod that she destroyed. Kneeling down to examine the extent of the damage after the blast of that strength. Obviously it was ruined and needed to be rebuilt. But he'd be able to see where it was damaged most and which parts held up best.

She watched him come to examine the destroyed pod. She felt kind of bad but then there was this data he kept collecting and with time those annoying things will be more than annoying. She imagined someone looking like swiss cheese when they passed by. Yeah maybe getting something with more padding for her arms in the time being.
Hey she made resolution with some data collecting of her own...
"Sorry about that one... I did not mean to... slip a bit." She scratched a bit of the fuzz on the side of her head as she stood up.
