Violence is Epic

On her trek around the planet, Jackie had but a few times scanned westwards. The wasteland wasn't exactly a place many people spent leisure time around. There was a benefit of it being so out of the way, however. There were more than likely a few people scrapping out here. Not many minds the hapless crater here, or the knocked-over stone that erupts from the earth like many tiny towers. She's actually run a couple of people through one. It's kind of cathartic to have that crumbling structure feel without threatening actual civilians.

Speaking of... Like a streak of orange in the skies, the young earthling caught something rather quickly on her approach to the wastes. A pair of women fighting each other. And from the distance sounds of their rather loud thoughts, a learning experience. A master and student? One was clearly bodying the other from the direct look at this aftermath. Oh well, might as well make friends with the two while they finished. Her faint orange aura dying down as her body dropped slowly. Her power flared as to not feel like she was hiding anything with the usual five she ran around the cities with.

"That was quite the show. I'm a little sad I only got to see part of it."
The sun-kissed monk landed light on her feet. In her sun monk gi, spiked shorter hair, and fist wraps, she didn't look out of place between the two others. Offering a casual wave to both while her crimson eyes danced to observe them. She could appreciate a good bit of muscle, but she was more looking at their wear. She wasn't about to say anything on fights or anything without taking in just how bad it was.

Jackie wasn't... quite sure she knew what she was seeing with the taller woman? She had met a Majin beforehand that really liked her fighting, childlike in their demeanor. but they were always kind of infantile. This eagerness behind simply asking who she was spoke volumes to her as someone who wanted a fight, but like... A rough one. Wasn't she in the ground a second ago? The sun monk wasn't even sure if she could manage to pick herself up so eagerly after cratering like that. The other, older woman was more concise in her needs.

"Fighter? Yeah. A bit more than just a fighter, but one and the same. Both you and Violet are quite strong. And that was just training?"
She inquired, quickly giving a waist-deep bow between them as part of greeting. Given she was trying to reach out to more people with her whole guardian schtick, being cordial was preferred over her natural inclination to be blunt.

"The name's Jackie. And I'm actually out searching for strong, kind souls. I've had some bad experiences around the time of the Budokai, and I fear our home is not up to snuff. Guardian sounds really gaudy but might as well call me one. And I'm out scoutin'. Be it for peers, students, or to just test people so we may all learn."
She rose from her short bow, tightening the belt around her waist while she gestured with a head tilt at both of them.

"Better to be upfront with it than anything. I can give ya'll a bit of a show if you think I'm just talkin' out my ass."

Was interesting to hear from Sukeru about a 'theory' that comes with this woman's unusual resilience. Some people are just built differently, herself included, so it was peculiar to point it out like it was some lab experiment. That was not here nor there though. Her primary target here was going to be the one that looked like a Saiyan. Given she was itching to go and looked to be in working order.

"Violet, was it? Even if guarding isn't all your thing I would hope you consider my words an invitation. We could always use such a sturdy wall."
And with it, another bow as she stepped back a few paces and got into a stance. Fists held up in an aggressive high guard while she watched. Figuring the sight itself would have the girl pumped up and readied within moments. And she would wait just for that, patiently making sure Azuki was more than willing to toss down while Sukeru wandered off to the side.

"Don't get comfortable. I'm sure you can jump in and join the fun once we really get into it!"
Like she was warning Suki, the smaller sun-kissed lass threw herself in a blitz at her. Dashing up to her with a quick checking jab to get a reaction. Following it very quickly with an uppercut. Hoping to throw off the lower defence for a high. That fist would be surrounded in crackling embers before quickly erupting in empowered flames. Hoping to get her under the chin.

Jackie seemed to have good enough a head on her to keep some form of guard up. With her fist caught aflame, she could still bring her off hand down onto the knee trying to crash into her lower gut. She'd lock the two up like that for a moment while she looked up into those green eyes. She was somewhat offended they chalked up an effort like hers as something akin to self-sacrifice.

"Pfft. Have you no confidence in your abilities? It's hardly self-sacrifice if you've got others at your back ready to help you."
Instead of the sheer force of the knee causing her to force back, Jackie jumps away from their small hold for a bit. Fists still alight as she notices the enhanced fists come barreling after her. A few knuckle-to-knuckle smashes between the two, and both would see their assaults thwarted. Though the sun monk kept close with her own hits, still trying to smash a good punch up at their midsection. Hoping to catch their breath.

"Well. I used to be a mechanic and engineer. Quit that a while ago though. I've had some things come up. Including things like this. But that's not what you asked..."
She'd keep up the pressure, knocking a leg up to try and smash into the side of her head. She does look fairly trained for someone who is also aggressive.

"This is my school's uniform. My masters before me wore similar, though I took some liberties with the top."
That should be enough for a stranger, right?

Jackie's heard a similar spiel before. Yeah yeah, obviously, not everyone was going to be willing to put their necks out for the greater good. More often than not when she came out to greet people and offer a spar they'd not be bad people. More so the average person that either couldn't see it in themselves to protect, or needed protecting themselves. As they came blow for blow, she just laughed a bit and pulled back just a second.

"You know, you could just say you're not into heroics with much fewer words! I don't need to hear excuses, the line of work ain't for everyone!"
She rebutted with her own, fewer words. Not needing to explain her own drive or those that follow her. Yeah, messed up shit happened. She knows. And she persists despite that. She hardly considered herself the strongest either. It's the training and dedication she looked forwards to and the challenge, overcoming anything to protect what she saw as her home. Not everyone was going to be as wide scope. And as soon as she let up a bit, Azuki seemed to have something else in mind too.

On equal footing in terms of power, the fiery lass also had an answer. The taller hybrid would see a flash of red shine from her eyes for an instant before glowing in this bright sheen. Her aura spiked suddenly, quickly transitioning from a faint orange to literal flames surrounding her body. They were unpleasant to be around, to say the least. The fiery arms she had now swelled suddenly as well as she empowered them further, one coming up and knocking the grabbing arm away. Not just with her arm's force, but a concussive blast that physically sends the flames and more force away in that arm. Hoping it would offset her balance.

Because she was going in hard down below, using her other infused fist to slam hard into the gut of the hybrid lass. That same concussive blast coming from her knuckles like a shotgun. This one was hopefully going to send her flying back from the force while Jackie made some distance between the two. Quickly after her smash using both fists though, that short burst of flame fueling her quietens down until it settles off her body again. Eyes losing their sudden glow.

Jackie just smirked up at her opponent who looks a bit shocked from the retort, pulling back her fist after it slammed into hard stomach muscles. Reeling back to have another go before being pressed off by the absurd power she pressed off. Wanting to have some modicum of fun and learning from the experience, the monk decided against just unleashing her strength. Something like that would be too easy. No, she instead braced herself for impact. Arms crossed as she was expecting the brawler to more of less rush her again.

But no, a very sudden and violent force pushes itself into her. Exploding out in a near-invisible force that throws her arms away and debris everywhere. She wasn't sure if she felt something like that in a while, that visceral feeling of concussive force that could have very well been akin to C4 going off on someone average. it'd send the spark flying out a good distance away to crater into the ground below, narrowly avoiding a tall stony spike on her way.

"That's... Not bad!"
She grunted pulled herself free from the small embedded hole she made in the dirt, brushing off the dirt and grit that collected on her as a result. her gi would live with a few tears in it, and her face and arms a few scratches. She's lived through worse, starting her way back towards the hybrid with a crack of her neck.

"Don't take what I say too personally! People have their hearts in different places. Hell, I know damn well I am not the hottest shit in the universe either. I'll take battles, even it's uphill! I'm sure you can respect that, Violet. I fight, so others don't have to."
She wiped a mouth over her face, her nosing having bled a bit from the impact. The Earthling was quite hardy for being of ordinary make, unlike some of the strongest aliens she's met. It's a fear she had gotten over long ago, and she doesn't let it control her all too much.

"That would include you, hun. But looks like you don't need much protection. I can feel the great potential in ya."

Not many people really did understand the calling. Plenty have their own reason, Jackie included. She knows her own path is kind of the painful one. But she doesn't want to lower her head while she could be helping people with her strength. Her people's teachings. It almost made her feel like it was destined to be this way, for her to be pushed into this life, but she doesn't want to let judgement cloud her head. She still had some business with that dark bit of her past.

"Yeah, I know. And thanks! I'm just built different!"
As Jackie came to a stop on her reproach, she takes a fist and chest bumps with it. She was feeling raring to go again with just a bit of break between getting smashed hard into the ground. She still had such a long climb ahead of her, yet she was getting more and more impressed with what she could physically walk off. Training mind, body, and soul does give the results she wants. Everyone's a bit different with how they attain power though. Her arms light up again in a familiar fire, telegraphing their empowered status.

"I'll be honest? That's a mood. I've trained nearly all my life, and only recently has the world and experiences given me reason and motivation. These past few months have been wild. It takes a lot of flailing and failing along the way too!"
She rushes forwards once she had a bit to breathe, her arms ready and reel back to last out. Only when she was right in front of the brawler did she suddenly switch up her stance though, quickly hopping in the air. Feet pulled back, those fires that were on her arms switch places. Covering her legs up to her thighs with the same ki empowered blaze while she attempted to send a flurry of front heel kicks up into her face. Managing to land or not, she'd use the fine control she had over her body to flip away from her opponent. Not letting Azukie keep too close.
