"I see," Juze responded to Negi, "That explains a lot."

[i]A warrior race, huh? No wonder they thought so little of sending murder-imps to kill civilians. And I doubt they have a sense of honor either, given that they couldn't even bother doing the deed themselves.[/i]

Juze grimaced. [i]I'm assuming that Negi's on Earth as some kind of escape. Either for personal reasons or societal reasons. Possibly both. I can't blame him. And...well...[/i]he gulped. [i]Negi seems pretty capable. And there are three other warriors just like him down there. They even feel pretty strong, and are actively working against us. I hope we can deal with them. And, well...I hope we don't die.[/i]

Then came some other alien, obviously harboring some kind of grudge against Negi, flying up to engage.

Juze wasted no time. While everyone else was firing suppressive blasts, he was going to apply some more significant pressure, and [i]immediately.[/i] This time around, he was taking no chances.

He rapidly dashed through the air, flanking Korun and making sure he'd fire at an angle that wouldn't hit any of his allies.

"WATER BARRAGE!" With that [i]kiai,[/i] the water particles in the air were empowered with his ki and flung foward in a devastating rapid-fire flechette cone. This wasn't some basic Continuous Energy Bullet that was intended to test an enemy's defenses, wipe out weaklings, suppress an opponent, or what-have-you. The Water Barrage was a [i]bona-fide[/i] Falcon school ki technique, roughly on par with a straight energy beam, even if split among several dozen projectiles. But each projectile was still primed to pierce flesh and rip through organs.

Juze was hoping to incapacitate, not kill outright. He wasn't a murderer, even if he [i]did[/i] kill those (likely non-sapient) alien murder-drones earlier. But there wasn't a lot in his arsenal that would knock out a foe. He'd need to ask his master to teach him something for that. But for now, he didn't have a choice.
