Edtoto wandered around the ship in search for a rather specific "person". She had recently been cleared and taught some small aspects of using Power Armour systems, and was itching to get some practical experience fighting in it. Mainly just to get fully used to moving around in it. Who would be better than that android who didn't seem to feel anything? Not only was it well... a machine, but it was ordered not to kill her. They also had a small score to settle, and Edtoto would only reluctantly admit she held a grudge. So she walked into the Rec Room, to find her target. "Hey! Tin Can! I need you to meet me in the Cargo bay in say... 10 minutes?" She asked, crossing her arms, with her tail swaying behind her.

The android was standing in the corner of the Recreation Room watching the crew interact. It was interested in learning the proper behavior protocols to follow when interacting with organic lifeforms. At first it didn't realize someone was speaking to it. When no one seemed to respond he finally turned to the newcomer. The alien it had thought was a threat stood in front of it, looking somewhat angry judging by her posture. "Edtoto Nar'Sivaro. Your arm has grown back very quickly. Why do you wish to see me in the cargo bay? Am I allowed to be in there?"

Edtoto shrugged at the question. "Good question. I am asking you too meet me down in the Cargo Bay. I need your help with something, and the way I see it you're the only one who can help me... In the cargo bay. In 10 minutes. I believe I am speaking Yamataian" She grumbled. "Long story short, I need some practice, and your ability to heal rapidly would be useful too me. Meet me down there when you can, I need to go get ready" She said simply, tuning and striding out of the room.

As Edtoto spoke, the android merely connected to the ship and asked for permission to go to the cargo bay. The response was fairly quick. As long as a crew member was present. Edtoto was effectively a member of the crew, so it shouldn't be a problem. Before it could say anything she was gone. It hurriedly caught up to her, planning to follow her around until the appointed time.

When Edtoto noticed the Android was following her, she scowled at it. "I said meet me in the cargo bay, not follow me around like a lost child. Ten minutes. And keep quiet about this alright? I'd rather not have the whole ship knowing" She added. "You owe me that at least" She said, turning back to walk even quicker. She was unaware of the all seeing Ochiko who was probably quite interested in her going on's.

It started to inform her that the ship's MEGAMI could see them, but decided against it. The concept of owing something was understood. It had caused her pain and she wanted something as compensation. The android turned and walked towards the cargo room at a leisurely pace which would bring it to it's destination in a little under ten minutes. Around nine and a half minutes later it arrived in the cargo bay and waited silently for Edtoto to show up.

The Android would be waiting for a few more minutes, before something dropped down from the Maintenance hatch. Clearly a creature wearing some... unique power armour. It was a charcoal grey, and covered most of her body. The jaw was built to articulate, not closing the seal at her mouth. In her mouth there was an object that could only serve to stop her air from being pulled out o her lungs, and allow her to breath in the depths on space. The lower jaw was encased in armour plates and a synthetic ballistic layer that provided more flexibility than protection. The teeth coming out of the lower and upper armour plates, along with the odd dorsal ridge made her look like some robotic shark. As for the rest of her body, it was encased in armour as per usual with the high speed combat core coupled with the Ke-M10-A3100S armour system. Its Talons and Claws obviously her main melee weapons.

"Like it!" The creature said, the voice distictly Edtoto's, only with the artificial buzz of a speaker. "I had to get a little fancy with it, but I managed to design a simple AI over the last few weeks to assist me with most things. Adding power armour using the pre installed AI was easy enough. Just had to get them to play nice" She said, a smile heard in her voice. "So me and you have a score to settle, I need practice in my new armour I am borrowing, and you are a machine that can heal quickly. I want a fight. Let's lay down some groud rules shall we?" She asked, walking over.

The android looked at the power armor curiously. It had never seen anything like it. It would probably be best to keep a healthy distance from her claws and teeth. The request for ground rules was met with an awkward stare. After a moment it realized what she was asking for. "If my limbs remain attached any damage should be easily repaired. If I run out of metals I may need to take some from the surrounding area. I cannot harm you, as per the Captain's orders, but I must warn you if my.. life is in danger, my self-preservation protocols will activate."

Edtoto smiled internally at the statement of self-preservation protocols. She wanted fight. "Alright, here is the deal then. You owe me an arm... I'm going to try and take it from you. Do everything and anything aside from maiming me, or killing me to do that. The fight ends when either I yell yield, or you lose a limb. No weapons, no energy attacks, just standard physical attacks. That means you can't shut down my armour, you can't paralyze me, or anything along those lines. Got it?" She asked, stretching a little.

It nodded it's head slowly in response. "Your rules are accepted. No weapons and no stunning. I will wait for the word to begin sparring."

Edtoto have a short nod. "I can get behind that" She stated, before playing with a screen on her wrist. "Activating Combat Protocols. CAAI, prepare movement assistance and Proprioception scripts. Anti-Personnel, unarmed assailant. Effective in close quarters combat, full assistance" She stated coolly. As she did, her eye lenses lit up with dark, red glow. "Three, two, one... Go!" She shouted, coiling her powerful legs and launching herself full force towards the Android.

The sudden movement was quicker than anticipated. The android moved to the side in an attempt to avoid the brazen attack. It aimed a kick at her midsection, hoping to use her momentum against her.

Edtoto had expected the attack, and this was a perfect opportunity to lear how effective her requests were. The sharp hissing sound of a thruster let off, shooting Edtoto down to the ground and letting her slide right under the kick. She then dug her claws into the deck hard enough to leave some grooves, and launched herself at the Android, her talons and claws poised to dig into him and let her latch on.

Her aggressiveness was somewhat alarming. She seemed to be much angrier than she appeared. It jumped backwards to avoid the grapple, but it wouldn't be possible to back up any further. The wall of the cargo bay was inches from it's back. It tried to predict her next move but didn't really have enough information about her fighting style. She would most likely be able to get a few hits in no matter what happened.

Edtoto landed gracefully despite missing the grapple, and without losing any of the momentum, spun around and whipped her tail, striking the android in the head. Without skipping a beat she swooped down and locked her jaws on the android legs, the teeth built into the armour sinking in and disfiguring the leg slightly. With a strong twist of her head she pulled her body back up to throw the android to the ground.

The android had nowhere to go and didn't see the attack coming in time to do anything. It's head slammed against the wall with a loud clang, leaving a dent in the wall but barely a scratch on the android. The armor's teeth punctured it's leg and warped the metal, the head twist tossing it to the ground.

As it was falling it grabbed her tail and attempted to throw her using 300 pounds of falling metal, twisting in the air as it went down to increase the velocity of the throw. The holes in the android's leg started filling in quickly and the warped metal began returning to the original shape. It didn't stand, instead using the anti-gravity in it's feet to float back into a standing position. There might be internal damage to the leg, but it looked as if Edtoto never touched it,

Edtoto let out a hiss as she felt the androids hand wrap around her tail, throwing her into the bulkhead with enough force to leave a sizable dent in it and have her bounce off, but not enough to put her down. She quickly managed to scramble back to her feet, screeching angrily at Zuko and launching at him again in an attempt to keep him closed in by the wall and her.

It didn't anticipate Edtoto would get back up that quickly. As she flew at it, the android aimed a solid right hook at her jaw. The goal was to disable the armor's powerful jaws and take away one of her weapons. Just before the attack was about to hit, however, the thrusters that helped her avoid the initial kick activated again, pushing her head down and to the side. The motion threw her wildly off balance, and all 300lbs of armoured angry lizard crashed into the android at top speed, bringing them both to the ground.

The alarmed android was much closer to Edtoto than it wanted to be. She could easily chomp down on his face and tear out it's visual sensors. The Oni mask face plate slid forward and snapped into place for protection. It grabbed her and rolled so it was on top, then tried to pummel her in the jaw again. The alien locked the punch down with her arm, shooting it up over his shoulder and wrapping it around the elbow to keep it in place. Her head shot forward and she got that powerful jaw clamped down on the androids shoulder joint, the sound of metal screeching as it's bent and stretched starting to fill the cargo hold as she got her legs on his chest and started to push off.

Warning signs went off in the android's head. The Vekimen had its shoulder in her jaws and was trying to tear the limb off. Fortunately the other hand was free to hit her in the face several times if she wasn't paying attention. It reasoned she might let go if she was stunned. If she was paying attention or not though, she didn't seem to care. Each punch got gradually harder, to the point where her armour was showing visible signs of Damage, but the alien didn't budge. Her jaw continued to close around the metal, even as the plates to her helmet started to cave in. The lens over her eye shattered and eventually fell out, showing her eyes were hair thin slits, blood shot from the force of each punch but still she didn't move.

Eventually, the Androids arm gave in, tearing off with a loud Snap! The force of all that tension being released launched the android up and off the alien, but managed to keep balanced enough to land on his feet. Edtoto managed to stand up, but seemed to struggle. The damage to her helmet must have damaged her AI support, so now she was moving the suit with less control. She swayed a little as she locked eyes with the android, spitting the arm out and obviously breathing heavy.

"I beat you machine... I leveled the playing field and I won" She huffed, reaching up and undoing the helmet. The side of her head was a little swollen, and her eye was bloodshot, but it looked like she didn't even notice. She just kicked the arm over and narrowed her eyes. "We're even now... Have fun growing it back" She stated coolly.

It casually bent over and picked up the arm. After a thorough examination of the arm, it looked at her and nodded. "You are a formidable opponent. We should practice again sometime" It said, before leaving to repair itself...
