Pine Forest
After Koishi asked about whether or not she should kill it, John looked at the creature to assess how dangerous it was. John saw the barbed tail waving about, and knowing how strong that crab probably was, it could possibly impale someone. Taking that into account, John decided that he should kill the crab.
"I'll do it. I don't want you getting hurt.", John calmly said to Koishi.

Koishi flipped the knife around to the sharp end, and gave the handle to John.
"Watch out for that tail. Might be poisoned." Koishi warned, and considering the bright purple color of the tail, it seemed likely.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

John nodded at Koishi as he grabbed his knife. He had a feeling that Koishi was right. As John watched the tail flail about, he tried to think of a way to safely deal with it. John knew his reflexes were fast enough for him to catch the tail, but the barbs would cut his hands. What he needed was a way to pin the tail so that he could remove it. Once the tail was gone, he would be able to go in for the kill. After a moment of thought, John looked over to one of the nearby fallen branches in the forest and lightly smiled as he waked over to it placed his combat knife in between his teeth. After that, John grabbed the tree branch and hoisted it near the crab. As John got into position, he placed one side of the heavy branch next to the crab, and using the branch's length, John walked over to the other side of the crab with the other side of the branch in hand. Once he was in position, John dropped the branch onto the crab's tail with enough force to embed the barbs into the wood. Thanks to the weight of the branch, the crab's tail would not be able to break free.
"Problem solved.", John muttered as he looked at the crab's claws.
After the tail was pinned, John removed his combat knife from his mouth as he approached the crab from the rear, making sure that the crab would not be able to reach him with its claws, and as soon as John was within striking distance, he quickly slammed down into the center of the crab with his knife, hoping to pierce the crab's shell.

The crab squealed as the knife punctured through it's hide, and started flailing around further, though to no avail.
"Well, I guess the knife works." Koishi said.

Seeing how he missed the heart, John decided to strike an area that would guarantee the kill. With a sudden, quick movement, John pulled the knife out of the crab's abdomen and slammed the knife down into the crab's brain, putting the crab out of it's misery. After that, John waited to see if there were any other signs of life.

The crab twitched for a bit, before finally dying from the sharp blade.
"Well. I guess we should start a fire to cook it." Koishi said. "Wouldn't want to eat it raw."

"Yea...", John said as he pulled his knife out from the crab's head and stood back up.
To be honest, he never really liked the smell of crab very much, and this particular crab smelled more than the average, red variety.
"Go drag it back to the plane. Kenway and Taokaka might be willing to help out with cooking or preparing it. I still have to take a look at the cockpit and weld up the plane.", John calmly said to Koishi as he grabbed a handful of leaves off the ground and cleaned his knife.
After cleaning it, he handed it back to Koishi.

Koishi took the knife and put it safely in her hat. She picked up the dead crab and hoisted it over her shoulder.
"Alrighty. Have fun with your driving stuff." Koishi said, walking back towards the plane. Meanwhile, in the brush beyond, two large, lizard-like eyes peered silently at John. The eyes were barely noticable from John's position, and disappeared soon after, the slight shuffling of the brush being the only sign anyone was there at all.

John watched as Koishi dragged the crab away until she was near the plane, but right as a nearby bush began to rustle, John quickly darted his head over to it, pulled out his Energy Sword, turned it on, and got into a wide stance within a split second. After the bush stopped rustling, John slowly turned his gaze over to Yukari, taking care in case something jumped out of the bushes.
"Did you see what that was?", John asked Yukari in a serious tone, still on edge in case something attacked.
