[IC] Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

[Mogtaki]

Choi wasn’t fully sure whether he should really be letting the Beastman go off towards a fight, but if Yumi was confident that he’d manage then he had no choice but to believe it was definitely proving hard. He wasn’t sure whether he should let the Beastman go behind him rather than in front, he could see the guy as someone who would get very aggressive if he was held up and with how quickly he was coming up behind them was just making him feel worried. Viral was probably the kind of guy who would beat you down if you got in his way, even in a corridor. Looking back at Viral before to Yumi, he smiled a little, “Hopefully it’s someone just thinking we’re with the King, it’s possible considering we are a Saiyan ship”, he spoke quickly, looking up ahead, “I don’t think I’ve ever managed to feel like this…the thrill of adventure with all these dangers! It’s so exciting…”

Viral wasn’t happy one bit, in fact he was very much an angry Beastman right now and being behind Choi and Yumi was not any better. Growling lowly as he moved after them, his temper was slowly rising seeing Choi and Yumi so close together before he stopped, his eyes averting and looking down a little more instead. It was hurting him pretty badly, seeing them together like that. He didn’t know why it hurt, but he was still trying to figure his mind out and figure out everything that was happening to him. He had worked hard to get her to like Vegeta so that maybe they could marry and be happy together, but it didn’t appear that either of them were very interested in each other anyway. He was in pain, but not a pain he could fully understand.

On the other side of the line, it didn’t appear that the attacker was phased by the claim that they were simply travellers. There was that silence and the ships surrounding the flagship hadn’t moved at all, their guns still trained on the ship. With Vegeta’s pleas coming through on the other side, there was nothing more than silence and the flickering screen that hid any form or any sign of detail on the other side. They had no reason to speak, even when Vegeta had revealed who he was it was more that they were taking it all in and possibly discussing what was going on through on the other side. Their discussions were hidden away as their claims were made, even as Takeshi blurted out his own little insult. If this was any other attacker they probably would had attacked them outright, instead they were patient, silently waiting for the command to be given to shoot.

Entering the room soon was Shu and T’charrl, one looking curious and the other confused. The attack had been felt throughout the ship but the silence after it was a little worrying, especially when they were basically just sitting there. T’charrl was keeping quiet, he didn’t know what was happening or what was being said, his mind hardly able to process the language quite yet until he properly got to sit down and study it. He would be good at doing that, it would just take a little while to get the basics done. Shu, on the other hand, was eager to see what was happening, his little form bouncing towards the others as he watched Takeshi get restrained by Kabocha. Smiling a little at the action, he slowly moved towards the camera, trying to see what was happening.

Remaining silent as if musing the others with their nervousness and attempted bravados, the camera remained fuzzy as if it had simply broken and they were wasting their time. The enemy was not showing any sort of reluctance to attack, even after they made their pleas against an attack; however, as Vegeta made attempts to call out who might be on the other line there was still silence, followed by the screen turning black before the voice spoke up again, “You shouldn’t be so certain about that”, she spoke again, sounding a lot clearer, “I could still order them to shoot this ship into disrepair before taking it myself”. With a sudden flash, the screen was showing signs of life and the image of the control station with a female Saiyan standing in front, her hair down and her eyes concentrated on the screen. It was Sayomi, but despite all of that she wasn’t looking smug but instead fairly neutral, her eyes trained on them, “Hello boys, keeping well, I assume? Soldiers! Withdraw for now; target is not hostile. Just what brings you to this side of the galaxy and in that particular ship…?”

[GambolMuse]

Thank goodness, it was the rebels. Albeit that may not be any better than Saiyans seeing as the note they'd left on was less than stellar. Nonetheless Vegeta felt discernibly relieved when he saw Sayomi come up on the screen, allowing himself a sigh of relief before giving a partial wave. "You wouldn't shoot us down after the trouble you went through helping us, it wouldn't make sense," he pointed out, certainly finding it easier to speak now. The order being given for the troops to withdraw was a welcome one, and it meant they weren't going to be blown to smithereens. "And we're all doing fine, for the most part. A little tough time of things lately for some of us, but overall we're doing okay. Considering how far you are from your base I take it things are going well for you too." Clearly the rebels had been busy, as at this point it seemed to be quite evident that the rebellion was gaining steam. Considering they had found this Saiyan warship it had to be Saiyan controlled space, and yet here were the enemies of the empire strolling in almost nonchalantly. Curious, Vegeta wanted to know just how much they had gotten done in the few days since the separation.

"We stole the ship! Right from under the noses of the Saiyans!" Takeshi said proudly, finally breaking free from Kabocha and getting back on screen. It hadn't exactly been a momentous battle that had earned them the craft, but Sayomi didn't know that. "And we're out here to go hunting... Well, kind of. See, there was this monster on our ship, and it was spooking these guys out," he explained, gesturing to the engineers, "So we looked into it and ended up killing the thing. Whatever it was though it was strange, not like anything we've seen before."

"It turned into smoke when it was killed. No blood, no visible wounds, it just... Vanished..." Vegeta continued, frowning as he rubbed at his chin. "We tracked through the ships logs to this planet, we figured we'd try to figure out where it came from and if we can, take out any more that are down there. One of them wasn't too bad, but we're worried if there's more, that they could be a real problem." Not to mention the peculiar ability the creature had, phasing into surfaces and sliding along like a shadow. It didn't have to be particularly strong if it could sneak around, and that's what made it truly dangerous. "If people are going to travel around here at some point then it's got to be safe. And now that you're here... Maybe you could help us take a look? We're not entirely certain what's down there, and the more force we can bring the better."

Takeshi found the reunion with the rebels bitter sweet. It was nice to see Sayomi again, who while not the most sociable maybe had always done right by them. Where she was though Korian was sure to follow, and that man in particular had him uneasy. The rebel leader alone had been the reason they left, and seeing that they may have to deal with him now was fair disheartening. Tensions were most definitely still there, and who knows how things would pan out once Korian and Viral saw each other again. "Is Korian around...? We should probably talk to him, y'know... Before we go ahead and do anything? If he's still sore about things I don't want to start a fight with the guy. We've got enough to do without him being a jerk."

[Mogtaki]

Sayomi was a little surprised to see the kids all out here in a Saiyan flagship no less, something they must had taken simply by chance. It wasn’t possible that they’d be able to take the ship without having defeated an entire army, so there must had been a break where they were able to sneak on the ship and take it that way. That was the only way they could get the ship, no matter what way they put it otherwise. Frowning a little upon noticing that they had even more people with them that were still dressed in Saiyan gear, she looked back to Vegeta and shook her head a little, “Things are about the same, just activity out in this sector has brought us out to follow up and undo the Saiyan’s work”, she spoke calmly, looking off to the side, “We have simply managed to get a station to upgrade our ship…and nobody knows where it is”.

Pushing past to get to the door, Viral entered the control room quietly, looking sneaky than anything else. He was fair suspicious about what was going on, especially when he entered the room and they all sounded so relaxed. From the sounds of it, the whole thing seemed to be a misunderstanding; however, on the other hand, it sounded as if it was the rebels that had fired upon them. Of course they’d be out here, probably out to finish the job or being completely nosy once more. Staring at the intercom he moved back a little, giving them all a stare as they spoke amongst each other.

Shu was pretty happy to see Sayomi again and seeing that they were getting on again was definitely nice. Looking up at Vegeta as he spoke about the strange beast they must had found, he bounced a little on his feet before rising up on his tail, trying to get a look at the strange looking magic portal that was showing Sayomi. He was fair excited, but he did hope that everything was on good terms unlike how they acted around Viral. Looking back a little he noticed T’charrl look over curiously, Shu pulling at his fur, “She’s a friend”, he smiled, nodding a little, “But don’t tell anyone. She’s a secret…”

Sayomi stared at Takeshi and Vegeta as they spoke, trying to make sense of what they were saying. It’s possible that the unnatural air in the ship caused its body to breakdown to a molecular level pretty fast. Rubbing her cheek a little as she thought about it, her eyes drifted away only to come back again, looking up at T’charrl sneaking a peak over the other two, “…You have a Kaesstrian?” she instead questioned, looking at him with interest, “You have to let me study him. Extremely few have managed to get in close contact with any of them long enough to study one”.

Getting momentarily distracted by the thought of a proper racial study of a difficult race, Sayomi soon realised how far she had gone off topic and moved up again, staring at Vegeta, “If we are going to do anything, it’s not my decision. I simply command the ship”, she spoke, shaking her head, “You are, however, wanting to move into dangerous grounds”. As Takeshi spoke up her attention turned to him instead, giving him a look over before she moved slightly away, looking off to the side, “Korian is around, of course. You have to understand that the things he do isn’t because ‘he’s a jerk’, though”, she spoke before moving a little, pressing on a button off to the side, “Korian, it’s the Princes and their friends. They require that you talk to them immediately”.

[GambolMuse]

"Erm... With all due respect I can't let you do that Sayomi. T'charrl is a friend of ours, and I sincerely doubt he'd appreciate you doing it either." So she knew about Kaesstrians, that was a curious revelation. Vegeta didn't quite have the same level of fascination as the woman did about the aliens, even if they were certainly different. Being more of a tech enthusiast he couldn't be terribly be bothered with physiology of aliens. Getting an idea though Vegeta smiled knowingly at Sayomi, having the perfect answer. "If you ever get a chance to go to Kaesstra there's one man on that planet you can research though. He'll probably be in prison when you get there, but I've got the feeling that no one is going to be upset with your prodding at him." No one on that planet was bound to miss the General, after all his supporters had more or less been whittled down and everyone left was probably against him. If someone wanted to do tests on him it was unlikely anyone would raise alarm.

Takeshi listened to the conversation silently, wondering just what Sayomi was on about. Studying T'charrl sounded really weird, and he wasn't a specimen to be prodded at. Vegeta agreed, and no doubt the others did too, their friend wasn't going to be examined anytime soon. Sharing his opinion of the rebel leader he was a little bit dismayed that Korian was present, not exactly looking forward to seeing the guy. "Hey... Can we just avoid getting him involved? We can keep this just between us, can't we?" Apparently not, Sayomi went right ahead and called the commander to get in touch and relay the message. Well darn, this was going to get awkward awfully fast. Exhaling softly Takeshi scratched at his head, giving the female Saiyan a scrutinizing look. "He's still awfully sore about things, isn't he? I'm really not looking forward to this..." Perhaps with ill timing did he realize that Viral was now in the room as well, catching the Beastman out of the corner of his eye. Okay, this was definitely not going to go well.

Korian sat in the bridge of the main ship, sitting behind the cloaking device at the back of the formation. In sheer size his craft was the same size as the Saiyan one, being modeled after one of the gunboats after all. Hearing who was onboard the ship came as a surprise, albeit not a very pleasant one. It was too soon after their last exchange to be meeting, especially like this. The rebel leader did see some bright side to this however, there may be chance yet to get the Princes and their friends back on the side of the rebellion. The effort had been steadily gaining steam as of late, but they had yet to really hit the bulk of the king's forces. Whether they had the manpower or not to conduct a successful attack on a real stronghold planet was up in the air. With all those potential fighters though they'd be more then prepared. That was that then, he had to try and bury the hatchet and earn their trust back.

"Is that right? Well, I can certainly hear them out." Gesturing to his own communications officer Korian had a relay opened up between his and the Princes' ship, soon replacing Sayomi's image on the screen. Sure enough he was greeted with quite a few familiar faces, and a fair few that he did not recognize at all. There were the kids that Takeshi had been in a squad with, and Shu and Vegeta. Some woman he was not familiar with stood with the squad, and a Kaesstrian with the younger Prince. The most alarming sight among everyone was sat off to the side, Viral clearly not too fond of being on screen. Right, so he and the Beastman were going to have to talk to one another fairly soon it seemed, something that would probably be best to do sooner rather than later too. "You've got me kids, now what do you need? We're busy here, so please make it quick."

"You weren't too busy to attack us, so you can't be that busy," Takeshi pointed out. What on earth could they possibly be busy with? And what were they doing out here anyways in the first place? No doubt fighting the Saiyans, and they had probably gone after this ship simply because it was a Saiyan one. So there was some explanation, not that he was going to mull over it too much. Whatever the reason for their being here didn't matter, they were here now and that was that. "We're looking into something on that planet down there, and we might need help doing it. There was some nasty creature on this ship when we took it, and we think there could be more. I mean, we can probably take down whatever is there on our own, buuuut.... If you want to lend us some soldiers to fight with us to make things go quicker then we'd be more than happy to take a few."

"So let me get this straight... You stole a Saiyan ship, and now you're traveling to a planet just to go hunting? And you want a few of my fighters to do this? Just what in the world are you trying to find down there?" Leave it to these kids to give him an absurd request. Why would he spare troops when they were already few in number, all for a hunting excursion? While he should readily agree to get their favor it wasn't an easy request to fill, certainly not while they were in Saiyan controlled space. Losing numbers here could spell ruin for them should they be attacked. "I can't agree to that, you have to understand our position. We're only six ships strong, and we could be faced with a fleet at any moment. If we give troops out now then we'll only be hurting our own chances of succeeding"

That was a load, Vegeta wasn't at all content with that answer. If there was a fleet present they'd know it, you couldn't well hide an entire fleet. "Well how about this then? You blew up our cannons, so we're completely defenseless. The way I see it you owe us for that little blunder. Plus, if you don't agree to help us then fine, but we're not going to help you either. As far as we've been concerned we're out of this war of yours anyways, so no reason to get involved." Bait the rebel, it was pretty clear that he wasn't quite finished with them just yet. They might as well call it a day and keep traveling then, no reason to stay here.

"You're going to put me in that position then, are you?" Korian mused, smiling tightly before sighing. "I suppose I do owe you for the damage to that craft. But... Rather than help you find this beast let us offer something else. You can't fly around in a clearly Saiyan craft, you're asking to be hunted down. Land on the planet and we'll follow, and we'll modify the vessel for you. Then you can hunt as you see fit, and we'll rest a little easier knowing you're not going to end up in the king's hands again."

[Mogtaki]

Sayomi seemed a little disappointed by their decline, frowning a little before she shrugged lightly, “It’s not like I would be cutting him up and poking around his innards, just a study on your friend’s physiology, traits and capabilities, but if you insist”, she sighed, shaking her head. She would had liked to study an alien that was essentially an unknown species to the modern age, especially now that they had finally began to travel into space and away from that planet of theirs. The energy always disrupted their own technology and their language was very difficult to read, making it hard to scan them and read up about them from their own perspective, “If I do say so, your friend doesn’t completely fit the description of one, but he definitely is one judging by your reaction”.

T’charrl was feeling a little uneasy, not quite liking hearing only one side of the conversation regarding him and not anything else. Frowning a little, he slowly sunk down towards the floor, barely able to see the screen from where he was but still wishing to hide from it and stay out of the spotlight. It was a little difficult to go unnoticed, even to aliens who probably had seen many strange species before and shouldn’t had been too alarmed at his appearance. Oh well, with that little experiment over to see if he could fit in, his confidence to be around other people dropped pretty quickly.

Viral was not too happy at all, yet still curious enough to listen in to what they were talking about and seeing how things ended up going. He didn’t like the sound of Korian being called in, the whole thought of meeting that man again made his blood boil. He really hoped he scarred him after that battle, the man deserved nothing more than to be shamed for his failure and constantly reminded of it everytime he looked at the scar. ‘Bitter’ was probably not the right word to use for how he was feeling, perhaps even to the point of feeling vengeful for all he had put him through and wanted nothing more than to see him suffer for what he did.

[GambolMuse]

"Right... Well I apologize for jumping the gun like that. We've just had some poor experiences as a group with Saiyans and their 'studies', so we tend not to be particularly keen on that." It was probably a good thing right now that T'charrl couldn't understand what was being said. Vegeta couldn't imagine hearing himself being talked about would be the ,most pleasant of things, and only just beginning to become part of their group it wasn't exactly a welcoming discussion. "And the reason he doesn't quite fit the profile is he's undergone some... Changes. Obviously. That's a story for another time though. As I said, we'll give you a man to look into if you want, so long as you don't mind examining a psychotic sociopath."

Takeshi decided to reel the conversation back in on topic, not super comfortable with talking about anyone being examined, however passively. It just seemed creepy. "So you're going to do all that work on our ship AND help us with this creature problem of ours?" he asked, looking at Korian's image skeptically. Normally he wasn't the cynical type, but man did this seem fishy. Korian had to want something out of doing all that, and sure enough they were bound to hear what it was before this was done. Shaking his head distrustfully he folded his arms over his chest, tapping one of his feet expectantly. "There's more to it you're not telling us, we're not that naive you know. Come on Korian, what do you want from us? I sincerely doubt you just want to help us for the sake of helping us."

"I do though, in part at least. This war is still not in our favor, and if you're going to be reckless and fly around in that ship you're bound to get captured. At that point there's scarcely any chance we'll be able to win, we can't beat all of you," Korian admitted, smiling sadly. "I've experienced first hand what some of you are capable of when forced to fight, and I know full well that we'd be hard pressed to beat just one of you. So call it a worthwhile investment on our part. So long as you stay safe and out of the king's grasp we're able to continue on without too much resistance." Goodness knows what would happen if they had to battle both Princes, or even Viral in his transformed state. That wasn't even counting any of their friends, all of which he was sure were decent enough fighters at least. It would be more or less ensuring their own success down the road by helping the children now.

Now that sounded a little more sound, Vegeta mused. Help themselves by hurting the other side inadvertently, a good way of going about things. "Just where do you propose on getting all of that scrap metal though? It's going to take a lot of resources, not to mention time, to modify a ship this big. Plus you'll likely have to remove the ship's mainframe and do a wipe, since it'll shop up on Saiyan radar as one of their own. Then there's the small matter of it looking exactly like one of their boats... And our cannons being fried." A huge undertaking to say the least. It would take much more than just Vegeta to do that work, so maybe he could make use of the engineers they had with them. "How do you propose we go about doing all of that? Did you just happen to bring a barge full of material with you?"

"If I had that kind of foresight then we would have won this war already. I'm afraid we don't have scrap metal to spare, but we can spare a ship. And besides, I don't imagine we'll need all that much, do you? So long as the craft's structural integrity is okay it only needs minimal work done, with the most being repainting it." In all not that daunting of a task, not when there were roughly a hundred rebels, himself and Sayomi included, ready to work. "I would think its best we land on that planet to get to work, it'll be rather difficult to do anything floating around up here. Sayomi? Can you get in touch with Leto and his ship? Ricken and Sasha on their ship? We'll need to get everyone onboard another one, theirs is on its last leg anyways, might as well make some good use of it."

[Mogtaki]

Sayomi was a little insulted that they thought she was anything like the Saiyans, her mentality not really comprehending how they could even conduct such vicious experiments. The fact that they had a subject that may be willing to be questioned and mildly tested upon, tests that would simply regard how he functioned and what helped them fly with those wings of theirs. Staring at Vegeta as he made some further points to whom could be a subject, she slowly sat up again, raising an eyebrow, “Psychotic sociopath? I don’t think I could get any information I need from…a sociopath”, she spoke calmly, looking off to the side, “Changes sound interesting, though. Any race that can change their form are dangerous and formidable, take Saiyans and Frieza’s Race as examples”. Sayomi was well aware that there were levels beyond Super Saiyan and Frieza had left such a mark on history in the past that their entire race was known under his name, both proving to be deadly world destroyers. She wondered about the Kaesstrian’s power too, whether these ‘changes’ could prove to be as strong, “You should be careful; any race that has the power to change can turn the tide in battle quicker than your brain can adjust to the situation; Korian made that mistake with your Beastman friend…and Shu himself”.

Viral wasn’t paying too much attention to what Sayomi and Vegeta were talking about, mainly because Korian had popped up and anything he said was just aggravating and whatever he said was definitely him trying to make excuses to get back into their circle. He was practically begging them constantly to get back with them while ignoring what happened between them, simply going on and trying to sound professional all the way through. Takeshi was too soft on him, there was no chewing out or anger rising, just Takeshi trying to bargain with him and figure out what he was wanting in return for his help.

It was definitely too amusing how easily they were falling for it, but whether this would bring any benefits to them would be something that would need to be seen. Growling a huff as he looked away, he folded his arms as his eyes went to the window. The ships were still out there if instead hovering around waiting for the prompt to go back or to escort them, somewhat annoying since it meant they were all still on watch and suspicions had hardly been dropped that they would indeed try and retaliate. It was most likely because of what happened on their last meeting, seeing as how they were basically carrying around a criminal who was never fully tried for what happened.

With the negotiations rounding up and a deal being made, Sayomi’s attention went back to Korian and she went back to trying to be professional with her work. They would need to find somewhere to land on the planet, meaning they could allow themselves to be open for attack down there too. The thought of that was a little worrying, especially if there were monsters down there that this lot were indeed worried about, “Understood. Leto, Ricken, Sasha. Regroup to your transporter and prepare for landing, immediately”. Sayomi didn’t really feel up to having to repair and repaint a massive flagship when they were in Saiyan territory, but if it had to be done then they would have to put up with it and get it over and done with quickly.

Viral was just getting annoyed for now, all of this was just so tame and there was no mention of anything that happened. He still wanted to get his revenge for what happened and yet they were shrugging it off for paint and a ship touch-up. Staring at the screen, he growled as he moved forward, looking pretty annoyed, “Don’t think this means you’re off the hook for what happened between us! I would had destroyed you first before you could ever defeat me!”

[GambolMuse]

Vegeta couldn't argue Sayomi's points, each was very good. The General was an utter nutcase, there was no way he could be reliably questioned without the information being questionable. As for the races of people anyone could be potentially dangerous given enough reason and potential. Kaesstrians had proven that enough, managing to nearly kill three of them in a single attack. Even with a large power gap they had managed to do quite a bit, there was something to be said for that. "Believe us though, we're not going to go into this, or any situation. Well, most of us won't be," he pointed out, referring of course to Takeshi's tendency to be cocky.

On board one of the smaller crafts Ricken sat behind the controls, or he had been up until this point. After hearing Leto flirting with Sasha for nearly ten minutes he finally had enough, and now his sister was keeping him restrained from the eccentric man. It was such a headache having this man with them, he had absolutely no inhibitions. Finally being reeled in Ricken gave Leto an angry glare, shrugging off his sister and scowling as he returned to his seat when the radio came to life. He was a little surprised with the order that came through, not having been filled in at all with what was going on. Hearing that they were to be leaving the ship was definitely a confusing order, just what was the reason? "Erm... Can do Sayomi, but why? What's going on?"

"We're helping the Princes, that's what's going on. And we're on a tight schedule, so sooner rather than later, please." The longer they lingered after all the more potential danger they were going to be in. Granted, if they were all together now and a Saiyan group did appear then it was a safe bet they'd all team up to drive the enemy back. Shy of the king himself Korian was fair confident that they could handle anyone thrown their way. "Your ship is going to be used to help repair and reinforce the Princes' ship, you'll be coming on board with me and my crew. After all, we're due to find a new ship to borrow anyways, and yours is the oldest. Just as well we replace it then." Tough break for those three and the few crew that were on the ship, but ultimately it helped them in the long run. Preparing to close the channel Korian perked up again hearing an angry sounding voice, looking back at the screen to see Viral. Certainly still mad, not that he could blame the Beastman.

"And I don't doubt you would have beaten me, Viral." Korian answered, shaking his head. "I underestimated you and thought you could be easily beaten, I'm not too proud to admit it. I bit off more than I can take and nearly paid for it. That fight had been a very poor choice on my part." Given, if it had been a real battle, not inhibited by potential collateral damage, it was a mystery as to who would ultimately win. Not wanting to mull over that and potentially become vindictive however Korian let it slide, focusing his gaze on Viral for the time being. "I do not expect you to forgive what I have done, and I welcome whatever anger you direct towards me, it's deserved. However, I hope we can put it aside long enough to work through this, we can't afford to fight between ourselves in hostile space." That hardly buried the hatchet, but they couldn't do much else, not yet. It was going to take a lot of work if he and Viral were ever going to be able to comfortably say they were on the same sides. "If you want to go ahead and land we'll meet you all on the planet, we've just got to get everyone organized first."

Vegeta nodded his head, watching as the screen went black as communications were closed. Well that had gone a little better than expected, though there was still a bit of collective skepticism as to Korian's incentives. The Saiyan was certainly easier to deal with than the others they'd encountered, but he very much did have his own agenda. Something was bound to rise out of this, something that was going to come up that Korian wanted, he just wasn't too sure what it was just yet. "Alright, I guess we're landing then. Is everyone ready? I don't imagine we need to be strapped in for this, so I can do it now if you're all good."

"Hey, the sooner the better. I want to see what these monsters are all about," Takeshi replied, smiling as he smacked a fist into his open hand.

"I'm good to go. Though.... Maybe not so excited to fight those things. Punching them hurts!"

[Mogtaki]

Sayomi shrugged a little, tapping her finger against her cheek, “If you so wish. We’ll see what happens”, she spoke, her eyes drifting away. She would still try to get the Kaesstrian to let her study him, it was an opportunity that barely anybody was able to do and they were a very interesting race; of course, any race that was not known to others and yet sat so close to enemy territory made her fairly interested in them. The Kaesstrian obviously couldn’t understand what they were saying, it definitely would make her job easier once she was able to properly communicate with them and hear what they had to say.

Looking back to Korian as he took the lead on the call, she slowly sat back again, giving him a staring at before her attention went to the monitor again as Viral angrily spoke up. Listening to the Beastman, she sighed a little at her words before going to her own personal computer, giving it a few taps to check on her data. It had taken a little while for her computer to decipher whether the Beastman meant to kill those people and transform as he did, but it was pretty difficult to tell what might had been wrong when his DNA was such a mess to the point that it made her wonder how they managed to put him together. The damage in his neck had been a factor on his healing, but everything else was confusing to her. There had to be something hidden in the Beastman and it was possible that his abilities were just getting too strong for him to handle, but before any consideration over that she would make sure he couldn’t cause great harm to Korian again.

Viral wouldn’t mind killing Korian just to show him he shouldn’t push him around, his eyes focused on the screen as Korian spoke. Maybe there was a ton of frustration that had built up after losing to him or to any fight for that matter, but it may had built up after everything that had happened to him. He wasn’t getting to do much combat wise because he was constantly incapable of doing things himself, his mind wishing to find relief from all that. Growling lowly as Korian spoke, he couldn’t help but feel cheated as the man spoke like a business man instead, “You might as well be a politician…” he mumbled, glaring at the screen before it shut off.

That man was such a coward, it was all probably something he’d never be able to get out of the man if they were confronting one another in the flesh. He wanted to fight him and make it his last if he had to, but right now they had some monsters or whatever to look at down on the planet. He couldn’t be bothered with all of this, it wasn’t as if the others knew how to combat them. Grumbling a little, he looked to Vegeta as he spoke, glaring at him for a moment before looking out the window again, “Just do it. Land this hunk of junk…”

T’charrl looked quite happy at the thought of landing, but he was definitely going to be nervous about the idea of landing on another world. Maybe it would be okay if he got to go outside and check out the planet for a moment before he had to go back in again, a little smile appearing on his face at the thought of it. He was pretty confused by the conversation that took place before, but other than that he was fairly confident that it was nothing too bad considering Vegeta had calmly declined the thought. Pressing his claws together, he moved forward to see outside the window, “Wow! It’s so amazing…now that we’re not being attacked, that is”, he spoke, smiling a little, “I’m ready to see this landing! This is so cool…”

[GambolMuse]

"Hey, this hunk of junk is going to be our ship from now on, so be nice to it." Vegeta was a little defensive of the craft already, taking a quick personal liking to it. As with all of his gadgets he was rather proud of them, and he intended to see to it that he knew this machine inside and out. To some degree then calling this ship junk was almost akin to calling Viral's cleaver a 'thing', albeit the Saiyan didn't get nearly as upset over it. Returning to his seat then he brought the controls online, a few screens showing up that would give him control over the ship's major systems. Since they were going down he pivoted the main thrusters to a vertical position, and with a small burst of energy the vessel began to slowly lower itself down towards the atmosphere. It was going to take a little while to descend if they wanted to keep it steady, which seeing as no one was sat down and restrained it was probably a good idea.

Takeshi couldn't understand T'charrl with the lack of a scouter, but watching him go to the window and gaze out it with a smile conveyed things perfectly. "Your first new world, must be exciting." he mused, walking over beside the Kaesstrian. His first trip to another world hadn't been near exciting, mostly because it had been forced and under his father's discretion. "None of us have any clue what we're going into, so we're literally flying blind. But hey, that's half the fun, figuring it out!" Grinning he folded his hands into his pockets, gazing down at the world they were slowly approaching. From up here it looked like a mass of gray and blue, so it was a little hard to tell just what the environment they were going into would be like. "We'll get the scouters before we land too, so we can talk. Er... And I'm kind of thinking that after this trip we can start trying to teach you our language. It'll be tricky but it would make things easier."

Yumi was a little eager to get landed, hoping to do a little fighting and perhaps give people a chance to cool off a little. Speaking of cooling off, Viral had seemed terribly angry over the sight of Korian, definitely not over what had happened yet. Excusing herself from Choi's side she walked over to the other Beastman, a gentle smile on her lips as she approached. "Viral? Are you going to be okay for this? Sure you feel healed up enough?" He certainly looked a little healthier, albeit still a touch pale. The intravenous nutrition while in the pod had to have done a little good, but it was doubtful it was enough to truly get him back on his feet. "And... I know you're mad at him, but please try not to fight with Korian? We've got to work together, especially when we're in danger here. So please, try not to attack him? As much as I'd like to slap him for what he did we can't afford to right now." Plus, the offer of having their ship modified and changed as not to stand out was too good to pass up. If they lost it by getting in a fight they'd be hard pressed to do it themselves.

Whereas entries before had caused the ship to ignite like a fireball, the casual descent this time had no such effect. Vegeta made liberal use of the thrusters to ease their vessel down, and in about five minutes they had touched down on the surface, passing through a cloudy atmosphere on their way down. Towards the bottom of the descent the ships' environmental sensors began to give off readings about the world around them. The temperature in the spot they were approaching was roughly 20 Celsius, a fair mild warmth. Humidity was low, and the wind occasionally gusted, but otherwise was almost non existent. In all it seemed a fair stagnant climate, pretty typical as their other ventures had been. Though this world was not exactly lush, nowhere near the point of Kaesstra or even Uuonoe. Grass littered the ground, but it was a curious greenish brown color, resembling dying Earth foliage. The occasional tree-like plant sprouted up out of the ground, but otherwise it was a hilly and expanse terrain. Vegeta had to be mindful to place the ship in a more clear area for easy access, settling for a moderately large valley that could house a few ships. With a gentle, slow push of the thrusters the ship finally touched down, a set of legs extending automatically to hold up the weight of the craft.

Vegeta eased back off the controls once they were settled down, smiling a bit proudly with himself. It was his first time piloting the vessel after all, and he had managed to land it with no difficulty. Given there had been some trial and error, they had ascended and descended a few times on their course but ultimately made it down okay. "This planet doesn't seem too bad, the weather is okay anyways." he commented, closing his screens to look out the wide windows before them. "Of course... I can't tell you anything aside from the weather. Gravity, air thickness, or anything else unusual isn't picked up by the ship, at least not that I can tell. So we'd best be careful going out there, we don't know what to expect."

[Mogtaki]

T’charrl could barely believe he was experiencing all of this, he kind of wondered whether it was all a dream in the end but all the feelings he was experiencing couldn’t possibly be created from his own mind. Staring out the window he smiled, staring at the strange sight below before taking notice of Shu who was having a bounce around to try and see out. Staring at him curiously he sure enough decided to pick him up, lifting him up so he could see outside before noticing Takeshi smiling at his presence before he tilted his head, curious to what he was saying. His lack of scouter made his words completely foreign to him, but he tried to understand what he was saying by looking at least interested in it. His antennae twitching, he stared at him as he spoke before he chuckled a little before he nodded, taking a stab in the dark that he was saying something positive, “Yes! Very good!”

Viral gave Vegeta a quick look before he grumbled, looking away again, “It’s a hunk of junk until it’s not a Saiyan craft anymore”, he spoke calmly, moving away, “I don’t want anything to do with the Saiyans”. Until this ship was changed, he wasn’t going to be happy about being on it and that was it. Moving away and getting his mind ready for landing, his attention went to Yumi who decided to talk to him after cuddling up to one of the twins enough. Narrowing his gaze a little, he turned to her but kept silent, preferring not to answer any health-related questions. It was too difficult to answer them, especially if he complained about anything he’d be treated like a vulnerable baby and constantly questioned and doubted.

Looking towards the windows a moment, Viral couldn’t help but feel annoyed at Yumi when she pleaded for him not to attack Korian despite all that he did. If he did that, they’d probably all hate him anyway and banish him, the idea of having someone as unstable as him around probably made them nervous that they’d be next. Letting out a grumble, he looked back to her, “We won’t be in danger once we get this ship changed up, then I don’t see why I should put up with being humiliated”.

Looking between the Beastman and Yumi, Choi smiled nervously before he approached Yumi a little, placing a hand on her shoulder, “I should get to my brother and look after my father, huh? He’s probably wondering what’s going on”, he spoke quickly, laughing a little, “Kai isn’t very good at calling in unless I call first. I guess our biggest problem is if one of those monsters sneak onto the ship without us noticing since we couldn’t feel any Ki from it, but we still felt pretty uneasy and to be quite frank, I think we’ll be feeling uneasy anyway with a bunch of rebels painting the ship!”

Gradually coming into landing, the environment wasn’t anything really to get excited about and yet T’charrl was rather exciting to see it, everything that was new and foreign just making him feel all giddy. He didn’t know if he was going anywhere, he probably wasn’t going to go anywhere but to see a new world was just amazing. There was no sign of life other than the plants and the energy of the planet felt odd, but other than that it was a new planet and he was the first of his kind to actually go to a new planet. Slowly putting Shu down, he pressed his claws together nervously at the prospect of being left to his own devices, feeling a little worried that he wouldn’t know how to keep control if his energy levels got bad.

[GambolMuse]

"Eh... More or less right. You got the gist of it... I think." Takeshi scratched at his head, not entirely certain how much T'charrl could understand them. Back on Kaesstra it had seemed easy enough, but that was likely due to being with their scouters. Though he wasn't too sure if it translated for the other party too, he figured it only told Saiyans what the other race was saying. Shrugging his shoulders Takeshi smiled at his little sibling, reaching over and playfully plucking at his nose. "If you needed to get up you could have asked me you know. I am your brother after all, I am kind of handy for helping out."

Vegeta couldn't blame Viral for wanting nothing to do with the Saiyans, and neither could Yumi. They had to be stopped, that was unquestionable. But with all the unpleasant experiences they had thus far it was very much taking its toll. Experiments, kidnappings, and near death experiences just to name a few, everyone was weary to some degree. Viral was definitely at the epitome of the worst, albeit he had at least gotten strength back, so there was that. Trying to plead her case to stop infighting Yumi smiled slightly, giving a nod of her head. "But you humiliated him, he ended up limping away with a wound. Plus, he even admitted he couldn't have beaten you. The way I see it you were already hurt, and you could have beaten him anyways. So... Doesn't that make you the victor?" Just because Viral hadn't finished off his opponent didn't mean he hadn't beaten him.

Glancing over her shoulder at Choi as a hand went on her shoulder Yumi offered a gentle smile in turn, nodding in agreement. "Sounds good to me. I don't think it's going to take a lot of us to do this anyways. And this way you can make sure the rebels don't touch anything they shouldn't." Relations were still a little rocky, and as such there was going to be some uneasiness between the two parties. Especially with a group of just converted soldiers and their families onboard, and the engineers to boot. They might agree with Shu and Takeshi's entourage, but these new additions maybe not so much. "Well, if anything does get on here I know you'll be able to handle it. Just be sure to use something sharp, that seems to be the best way to beat them. Unless you want to pull a Kabocha," Yumi mused, nodding her hand towards the other boy. "His hand is still cut up."

"Alright, I'm guessing we're splitting up for this. It's best we leave some people onboard, and the others can go out and explore a little. I'm certainly staying, I need to figure out how this ship works if I'm going to be keeping it running. I'm guessing the twins and Kabocha are staying too. So do the rest of you want to head out?" That left five people in total to fight; Viral, Yumi, Shu, Takeshi and T'charrl. The later was more of a safe move than anything, just because he may prove to be difficult if not with his friends. At most Vegeta was just an acquaintance of the Kaesstrians, and the squad perhaps the same. Besides, it was best T'charrl go off the ship for now, what with Sayomi wanting to examine him. "I guess you guys can figure out how you want to split up or if you'll stay together, and we'll handle things back here. I'll let you know when we've got the bulk of the work done."

Takeshi was fair excited at the idea of making teams, already having in mind precisely who he wanted to work with. It was a little tricky, since he did want to try fighting alongside both Yumi and Viral for a change, but he was doubtful they were keen on having him in turn. So instead he opted for the safe bet, looking over at Shu and T'charrl hopefully. "The three of us can team up, yeah? It'll be fun, we'll get to explore a little and maybe beat up some creeps if we find them." Albeit Shu was still a little woozy by the looks of it, so he'd probably not be doing a ton of fighting. Maybe it was best that he stay behind and even go into one of the tanks for a bit. On that note Takeshi looked to his brother, smiling kindly. "Are you up to it buddy? Or do you want to stay back and rest? How's your head feeling?"

"If you're all going to team up, then that leaves Viral and I." Yumi smiled sheepishly, removing Choi's hand from her person and giving it a gentle squeeze before letting it go. It was difficult liking him, especially when it was becoming obvious Viral wasn't overly thrilled with the Saiyan. Probably because he was just that, and the Beastman made it no secret about how he felt concerning them. Moving to her friend's side and clasping her hands behind her back she raised an eyebrow, giving his hip a playful bump with her own. "How about it? The two Beastman team, we'll show those Saiyans how its really done. Sound good to you?"

[Mogtaki]

Shu was fair excited over what they might encounter on the planet, whether it was danger, new food or new friends. In the end, he was hoping it was all of these factors and was fairly excited about all of that. Looking up to his brother he pulled back a little when his nose was flicked, giving it a quick rub, “Oooh, but you’re not as tall as friend T’charrl”, he spoke quickly, shaking his head, “You’re short, but he isn’t so I could see really well”. He didn’t mean to exclude Takeshi, but with him being busy with the others and not giving much time for him he felt it was best to keep back and try to make T’charrl feel comfortable being here.

Viral was fair angry at a variety of things and there was no reason for anybody to tell him otherwise, seeing as how his life had been completely changed while the others essentially did not know what that was like. Yumi could moan and whine about her changes, but she had to admit that they were a benefit overall for her now that she was far superior to a human. Folding his arms tight out of annoyance, he looked to Yumi a little before away again, grumbling his words, “I am only the victor when he admits defeat right there and then! We being stopped and he crawling away with a political speech later is hardly winning…”

Choi wasn’t entirely sure what to make of Viral’s annoyance, seeing as how it would be easy for anybody in his shoes to get annoyed when he was a little bit mental. Trying not to think much about it and instead giving Yumi his reassurances was definitely the priority right now as he gave a little chuckle, “Honestly, they’ll probably be watching me the most considering I still have the marks of the Kingdom on me! It’s way too obvious that I was from the army they’re trying to defeat”, he spoke, smiling. Feeling fairly confident, he gave a quick look towards Kabocha before he smirked, “No worries, I’ll probably just use Kabocha’s mind-…oh wait, that’s not sharp at all”.

With the announcement of who was going, it sounded as if Vegeta wasn’t going to come after all and now that meant T’charrl was going instead. T’charrl didn’t expect to be going out with them, but from the sounds of it everything was settled and he was actually going to be able to travel onto the planet. Feeling pretty nervous, he looked down to Takeshi before to Shu who grabbed his claws, giving him a little pull. It was time for adventure now, it was certainly exciting and somewhat thrilling to think about.

Shu was very excited, bouncing a little before giving his head a rub. He was definitely feeling up to it, if just a little dizzy. He hadn’t fully recovered from his injury and would probably need one more sleep out of it to do so, but he was still going to try and he was definitely going to try and have fun while he could before the inevitable fainting feeling. Smiling up at Takeshi he nodded quickly, “I want to go! I’m okay, I don’t need to sleep yet, I won’t be slowing you down…”

Viral looked at the others as they all decided what was going on without him, his arms still folded tight as he watched them with slight annoyances. Staring at her for a moment, he unfolded his arms and gave a little sigh, not really all that impressed with the thought. While it would had been something pleasant before, it was just awkward for now. Looking off for a moment he nodded a little, looking elsewhere, “Whatever. You can lead the way, I don’t really know or care where we’re going from here”.

[GambolMuse]

Takeshi looked at Shu for a moment before flushing light pink, closing his eyes and shaking his head. "I'm not short, really I'm not! I'm just growing still, that's all." he said defensively, opening his eyes and smirking at Shu. "If anyone is short it's you buddy, not me. And it's not like we're really that different in height anyways!" They weren't that much shorter than the others, he wanted to point out. Sure, Viral was at least a third of a meter taller than he was, and Vegeta a little under that. Even Yumi was taller than both boys, less than the older men though. Never mind T'charrl then, towering over everyone else in general. Even the squad for the most part were taller, or as tall as he was. Okay, he was a little short, Takeshi admitted. Still taller than Shu though, so there was that. And... The tiny engineers, for what that was worth.

Yumi looked at Viral a little upset before sighing, not opting to argue against him in that regard. There hadn't really been a winner in the confrontation, if anything there had only been two losers. That would sit even less favorably with the Beastman, best to keep that thought to herself. In the end both parties had not gotten anything favorable, with Viral being injured and ultimately feeling worse and Korian both being injured and losing support. Shaking her head to brush aside that thought Yumi glanced over at Choi when he spoke, smiling reassuringly in his direction. Even if the squad had been former enemies of the rebels they clearly weren't any longer, traveling with the Princes now. Even Korian had to see that, as single minded as the man could be sometimes. If not then ah well, this would be the last time they interacted with one another. No real loss on the group's part, but all the more loss to the rebellion.

"Hey! My mind works perfectly fine!" Kabocha snapped, narrowing his eyes and pointing at Choi angrily. "I bet I'm smarter than you, cook boy. So watch who you're calling dull!"

"He might not be as intelligent, but at least he can get a girl," Vegeta chimed in, smirking as he heard Yumi break into laughter. Looking over at Kabocha, whose face was now proper red, Vegeta shrugged his shoulders. "Hey, don't call people out unless you're ready to have the same done to you."

Takeshi was primed to get going, already feeling a lot of pent up energy that was just begging to get released. Even if they didn't end up fighting they could explore a little, that would help at least. Watching Shu spring about as his usual excited self it was evident that he was more than ready to get going as well. Just to be safe he had to ask if his brother was feeling alright, having been told numerous times by Vegeta to keep an eye on the younger boy and monitor his condition. Thus far he looked to be doing okay, not entirely certain what he was supposed to look for anyways. Flashing Shu a smile in turn he gave a thumbs up, moving said hand over his shoulder to point at the door. "Well let's get a move on then, I want to see what's out there!"

Yumi was excited to get going as well, and hopeful that she and Viral could enjoy themselves. He wasn't in the best of moods, her new relationship clearly not helping that at all. Despite his demeanor she offered him a kind smile when he replied, giving a nod and turning towards the door. "Alright, and I don't know where we're going either really. As far as I can tell we're just looking around for signs of trouble." There hadn't ever been any real game plan made, aside from the groups being split up. Before she could get to the doorway to leave Vegeta was there first, a box in his hands. Curious she looked at the container, giving a soft 'ah' when it was opened to reveal scouters.

"You should all have one, just so you can communicate if something comes up," Vegeta explained, handing one out to everyone going outside respectively. "And they're all routed through the ship as well, so if you need to get in touch with us here you can do that."

Takeshi took his scouter eagerly, ready to get a move on. Good idea on Vegeta's part, since who knows where they were going to end up. That and with these things they could talk to T'charrl, albeit it gave reason to not teach him their language too. Getting a bit ahead of himself with that line of thought the Saiyan fixed his scouter over his ear, turning it on for good measure. Outfitted now he could hardly contain his excitement, cutting right past Yumi and Viral on his way to the door, being the first out of the room. Assuming the others were following him close enough he made a beeline for the exit, standing at the wide bay door that lead outside. Since the ship was pressurized for space travel he had to wait a moment, letting it come down to normal levels before the latches could be released. With a soft hiss the air began to disperse, the door gradually swinging open to expose Takeshi to the new planet. The cooler air outside was crisp and refreshing, and with a deep breath he filled his lungs up with air before grinning, giving a fairly loud shout as he hopped out of the ship.

"Let's go!" Taking a big leap out of the ship Takeshi expected to land certainly, but not as quickly as he did. For a second he sort of lingered in the air before feeling the planet grab hold of him, dropping a little faster than anticipated. Blinking in confusion he lifted up a leg, finding a little resistance to his movements, but nothing too difficult. To test things out he walked around a little on the spot, just to get a feel for the gravity. Definitely stronger than Earth's, but nothing that was unmanageable. Looking back at the door and smiling he waved to the others, tapping his foot on the ground. "Gravity is a little stronger than normal, so watch your step!"

[Mogtaki]

Watching the strange banter between the others, T’charrl’s antennae twitched in interest before he turned towards Vegeta, staring down at the devices he had. They were the same thing they had been wearing before, but looked a little newer and probably worked better. Tilting his head a little as he was given one, he picked it up and stared at it, his eyes looking towards the others to try and see how they worked. All they were doing was placing them over their fleshy ears and they stuck, definitely something that was rather strange. Holding it up to the side of his head, he slowly moved it closer to his head before letting go. The scouter just seemed to suction itself to his ear, his head shaking around a moment just to see if it was attached before he smiled, looking around at the others.

With everything put aside and everything sorted out, they were ready to move out and hopefully find out what was going on with the planet and hopefully come back to a nice looking ship compared to what it is now. Viral could barely care, he didn’t even know what they were supposed to do and definitely didn’t appreciate the fact that he was being dragged along as a blade to battle whatever the monsters were. Looking to Yumi momentarily, he grabbed the scouter and headed on out after Takeshi, “So basically scouting…and possibly killing”, he spoke, watching as the others headed on out, “All you need to know is I will do the job, but this planet looks pretty dead to me”.

Shu didn’t know what to make of the new scouters, he was alright with the one he had. Removing the old one and taking the new one he gave a smile before turning towards Takeshi, watching him before getting down on all fours and ran after Takeshi. Bouncing off after him he looked back to T’charrl who was following after them quickly as he gave a smile, feeling pretty excited. Only coming to a halt when Takeshi did, he wandered around him while giving a quick look behind, he tilted his head a little as the ship made funny noises before finally letting them go out. The scent in the air was definitely quite distracting, but he’d get used to it.

Moving on out of the ship without so much of a dramatic exit like Takeshi did, Shu simply toddled on out quite happily as he looked up and around to try and get a good feel of the planet; however, when he did get out there was something that was quite distracting. He felt pretty heavy, his head simply feeling a little heavier than it was already too. Holding it for a little bit, he soon smiled to Takeshi, running on towards him happily, “What’s gravity? Does that mean I got fat? I don’t want to be fat, I’m not really ready for that…”

T’charrl did try to make his way out, but the gravity really was pretty jarring for him. The gravity on the ship was already pretty odd, but here was a whole new level. Looking back to the ship before to the other two, he fluttered his wings a little before making an attempt to fly, not finding much air off the ground, “This is crazy…yet so wonderful”, he spoke, looking up and around himself with wonder. Despite how dead the planet looked, it had such a strange aura to it and even though it looked like it was dying, he could tell it wasn’t, “This planet’s energy, it’s so new…the plants are only just adapting to this place”, he spoke, looking around, “There was very little light, I can feel…but a new sun has only been recently made. Where did it come from, though? I don’t know…but the energy here, it’s light from another planet…”

[GambolMuse]

Takeshi continued his pacing about, rather quickly adapting to the planet's gravity. Thankfully it wasn't a major change, and with the air being easily breathable they weren't going to have any real issues here. Watching Shu carefully as he came out the older boy smirked amused seeing him slouch a little as the new force hit his brother. It didn't take Shu long to adapt either, rather easily making his way over. "No, gravity doesn't make you fatter Shu," Takeshi remarked, laughing a little. "It means the planet is pulling on you more, so it makes you heavier. It's why you fall down when you jump into the air, because the planet... Well it pulls you down." An obscure concept like gravity was probably a little beyond the young Saiyan. And admittedly it was beyond the elder boy as well. He knew the gist of the idea, but explaining finer details would be left up to one of the older members.

"You mean this planet is brand new? Huh... I kind of figured it was just like this." That must be T'charrl's energy sensing ability. It was a lot different than their ability to sense Ki, or other similar energies. He couldn't imagine what kind of power a planet gave off, or how it would even be different. Everything the Kaesstrian was saying had him very curious, and if this was all new he had to wonder what the world looked like before. "Did anything happen to the planet? Is that why all of this is just growing now?" Takeshi asked as he squatted down, running the palm of his hand over the blades of grass. They felt soft and healthy in spite of their sickly color, it was just odd seeing them look like this and still be okay. T'charrl did say that the sun was new, however that worked. So maybe all of these plants were new and so different because they were only just coming into life. "This place is neat, but it seems so empty."

Yumi slowly walked her way down the ramp, in no particular hurry to run off like the boys had. As soon as she had noticed the change in gravity she slowed a little, almost thinking herself imagining it until she noticed Shu struggle for a brief second. So the world was a little heavier than the others, but not too much. Sending a curious glance at Viral she smiled at his comment, stopping and turning to face him. "Just because there's not lush forests doesn't mean it's dead," she pointed out politely. Looking around the area she made note of the few trees that were around, albeit there could well be more hidden behind the hills and plateaus off in the distance. "Though it definitely does seem that way, doesn't it? But it doesn't... Feel dead, I think there's life somewhere. And besides, even if it is dead it looks kinda nice." With a content sigh she closed her eyes, lifting her head as she enjoyed the warmth of the sun. "Those rays feel so nice..."

They were supposed to be two teams, right? Her and Viral striking out into the world to look around, sounded like an easy enough job. After soaking up a little sun for a moment she opened her eyes again, putting a finger to her chin while looking around the area. "So... Which way do you want to go? I don't suppose it really matters where we head, but high ground might help a little." Yumi wondered if there were people on this world or not, it had seemed awfully vacant on their way down. Finding some locals would certainly help with their work though, they'd be able to tell if that creature was native here or not. Clasping her hands behind her back she swayed back on her heels a little, giving Viral an inquisitive stare. "You choose which way we go, how's that?"

[Mogtaki]

Shu didn’t know what to expect with all of this, his eyes more focused on the environment than trying to figure out how gravity worked. Giving his stomach a rub as he got pretty self-conscious, he quickly looked back to his brother when he tried to explain what gravity was. He really didn’t know how to take in that information, his eyes going to the ground curiously, “Why would it want to pull me? Where is it pulling me to?” he asked out, feeling a little concerned that he was doing something wrong, “When I fly, am I saying no to gravity? When will you let me practice flying with you again? I don’t want to go flying into the ground again and if gravity decides to pull me then it would hurt me even more”.

T’charrl found himself in wonder over what this planet was, it was all a massive culture shock moment for him upon feeling the energy of this planet and figure out what the plants lived from. Letting out a sigh he quickly looked to Takeshi when he spoke, his antennae twitching a little, “I wouldn’t say brand new, but new as far as planets go”, he spoke, looking down at the plants, “They’re hardy plants, probably getting little light during the day and making use of that by having deep colours…umm, well, I guess you could say ‘lots of colours means it’s absorbing as much light as possible’…?”

It was hard to explain anything when he didn’t know how educated Takeshi was on the subject, seeing as how he thought that being a new planet meant it was perfectly brand new. Smiling a little, he tapped his claws together before he wandered towards them, “It will get better, can put it that way. I think there is a civilisation here, but they’re probably primitive and still growing, not at the top of the food chain”.

Viral wasn’t too fussed with this planet, it was fairly plain looking but had wide open land, somewhere where he could run around in and not be disturbed by anything else. He didn’t see any monsters nearby, he couldn’t even feel their energy around so it immediately felt as if there was nothing. Looking around slowly, he made a glance in Yumi’s direction before he let out a grumble, shaking his head casually, “Like I have that much care about this planet”, he spoke, turning around, “Even if this place has life, it’s going to end up finding my blade if it gets in my way”.

With the other lot moving on and the gravity already bugging him, he now had to decide what he was going to do. He could probably use his instincts and just go in that direction, seeing as how Yumi wasn’t going to take charge. Giving the others a quick look to try and suss out what direction they were going to go in, he turned around and began to run in the opposite direction, “This way. We’ll find life!” There was probably something somewhere, even if this place looked fairly deserted. He didn’t really care where he was going, just that there was now a time where he could be away from the stresses of everyone else and able to get some air and possibly some room to think without Yumi spouting concerns for his obvious bad health.

"Well uh... It's pulling you because planets do that. Um..." Takeshi scratched at his head, trying to think of a proper explanation. When none came to mind he could only smile sheepishly at Shu, hefting his shoulders in a shrug. "All I know is gravity pulls you down, that's it. And if you know how to fly well then gravity isn't going to be a problem. So long as you know what you're doing then it's really not that hard." Easy for him to say, seeing as he had been flying for quite some time now. His brother on the other hand had only recently gotten a grasp of the concept, and barely began to practice before his mind was effectively wiped. As if on cue Shu then brought up the chance to try flying again, something Takeshi had figured they'd put off until he was much better. If he was willing though why tell him otherwise?

"Want to learn how to fly? We can practice now if you really want to! Just bear in mind the gravity here is stronger than what we're used to. Not a lot, but it might make it trickier. Want to do a lesson real quick?" They were close to the ship after all, so if something were to go wrong it was but a short trip to the healing pods. Perhaps learning on a world with greater gravity could even benefit Shu in the long run. If he could do it well here then on other planets, such as Earth, it would be easier for him. Maybe just marginally, but still easier. It would expedite their travel time when they were on the various worlds too, that was for certain. And it was bound to do something for Shu's confidence if he could fly himself around.

Turning his focus then unto T'charrl it was a bit surprising how much he knew for someone who had never left his home world. It had to be that ability of his, he had an uncanny knack for reading worlds. Takeshi smiled at his little diagnosis, nodding his head and taking a casual look around them. If there was indeed a civilization then it wasn't anywhere near here, they hadn't seen anything resembling a town. Hopefully there were indeed people left, seeing as the Saiyans had been here before in the very same ship. It was possible whoever lived here had gone into hiding seeing the same craft return, meaning that talking to them was going to be all the trickier. "I hope we can find someone, otherwise it's going to be a heck of a chore learning anything about that creature here."

Yumi was just trying to find some enjoyment in the little things, like the sun's warmth for example. Again she felt an indescribable happiness being under it's basking glow, and it just gave her an overall good feeling in general. Finally tearing herself out of her little daze she smiled at Viral as he spoke, lifting her arms up overhead in a stretch. "What if it's nice though? There could be some animals, or people here we don't want to hurt. Still want to attack them?" It was a rhetorical question, she didn't expect an answer. With a soft groan as she popped a shoulder she folded her arms behind her back, arching an eyebrow. "I'll let you decide what gets attacked and what doesn't, I'll follow your lead."

And lead Viral did. In a fair quick order he turned about and began to run off, opposite the direction the others were going. Yumi ran after him as quickly as need be, keeping a little distance between them in case he should change direction or stop. Her thoughts were abuzz with the potential of an encounter, feeling fair excited over seeing another new peoples. Or even some more creatures, even this so called monster they were hunting for. Getting a chance to do some relatively casual exploration and sightseeing even was a welcome change of pace. Plus, for the first time in a while she was able to actually do something with Viral. It had been too long, it seemed, even just running like this. A wide smile crossed Yumi's lips, a small hop in her step as she continued running along. Find anything or not, this was going to be a fun day, she could feel it.

Shu was definitely a little confused by all of that talk and what it actually all meant. He didn’t know how any of these things worked and hearing about it all was just fascinating to him on a variety of levels including very confused. Moving towards Takeshi some more he gave him a staring at, trying to get it around his little mind before giving his head a little shake, smiling at Takeshi, “Maybe I should ask Mister Vegeta about it, he’ll know what to say about it!” he spoke quickly, rubbing his hands together, “I feel like I won’t understand it fully and how I can fly with it pulling me down all the time”.

Looking down at his feet momentarily as his toes wiggled in the grass, he quickly looked back up to Takeshi and gave a smile, bouncing a little, “I would like to! Would it be okay here, though? I mean, if the planet is pulling me down a lot won’t I just go flying away on lighter planets?” he asked, tilting his head, “I felt really light on friend T’charrl’s planet, would it be a good thing to do if I did that? I like flying, but it’s just so difficult and I don’t know my own power yet because of what they did to me”.

T’charrl felt a little curious to what they were talking about, but looking to the ground for a moment he let out a little gasp when he realised something, “Ohh, I’m going to meet new people for the first time on their own planet! This is so exciting, I hope my power doesn’t go mad…” he spoke, tapping his claws together before he looked up at the two, “I-If you want to fly, we could go find people? I think my wings are strong enough to fly on this planet so it shouldn’t be a problem for me”. Looking to the ground for a moment, he flapped his wings and lifted off into the air, hovering for a moment, “This is…kind of okay…?”

Viral couldn’t be bothered with this, the planet was just completely barren and there wasn’t much to it that could be deemed anything exciting. There wasn’t much light just now, it was a little dull so that made things even worse. Looking up a moment to the sky, he looked back to Yumi before letting out a grumble, shaking his head, “Since when did you think it was okay to get cheeky with me?” he spoke, looking away and back ahead, “Don’t you dare tell me what I can and cannot do; I am in charge of my own life! Since when are you willing enough to question my morals and/or lack of them…?”

Yumi had no right to question him, nobody did. Everybody was just determined to make him angry and it was just getting to him now, even Yumi. He would had been better searching on his own and Yumi going with the others if she was going to get cheeky with him and hate on how he functioned. He wasn’t in the best of places, even his head was still feeling sore and making his mood worse. He wasn’t finding anything out here or feeling any sort of energy signature, his mind wandering away from all the good that was out there pretty easily when this place was completely dull already.

Hard to argue with that logic. If anyone could explain some science stuff well it was Vegeta no doubt. Of course, he was liable to use words that were well beyond their understanding, which certainly didn't help Shu's case. "Look at it this way though. Even if you learned on Earth you'd still be fighting gravity, so that's not any different. And if you learn to do it here then think of how well you'll fly back home." It would be like some extra training in that case, having to work against stronger forces to get up in the air. To Takeshi it sounded like a perfectly sound idea, and with such an empty world to do it on it would be a waste not to try.

"I figure you'll just be quicker on planets where you're lighter, and wouldn't that be a good thing?" Takeshi asked, smiling at Shu. "If you want to learn now then I'll teach you, plain and simple. And the only way that you're ever going to know your power is if you try it out, and this is a pretty good way to do it, don't you think?" Training now also meant that Shu would get to see just how well he was coming along as far as healing. Walking around might make him a little lightheaded but flying wasn't liable to do the same thing. Watching T'charrl as he expressed his excitement and lifted up into the air with relative ease. "See? T'charrl can fly, and I can definitely fly. So if you want to learn and you're ready I will definitely teach you again." Takeshi shrugged his shoulders, looking at Shu thoughtfully before pointing at his back with his thumb. "Or I can carry you like before, it's up to you."

It was going to take a lot of searching just to find some kind of civilization, that was fairly obvious right now. Nothing could be seen from where they were that remotely resembled a town, so they would need to search quite a bit. Then again these folks might not live like people they knew, they could be looking for the wrong thing. For all they knew these aliens might live underground like T'charrl's people had. If that were the case they could well be standing on top of a home right this very moment, certainly an awkward introduction. From an attempt to give Viral some control instead came more anger on his part, to her dismay. Not at all what she wanted out of that she looked at her friend sadly, folding her ears down and letting out a soft sigh.

"I wasn't questioning them... I just want to leave things up to your discretion is all..." Having some reign on the mission would maybe make him feel more in control of himself, that was the intent at least. Viral didn't see things that way unfortunately. Yumi frowned and rubbed at her head, wondering how to recover from her little blunder. It had to be the wording, now that she considered it. It didn't sound like she had meant, that must be why he was angry. Putting on a hopeful smile then she picked up the pace a bit, coming up alongside Viral and folding her hands at her waist. "I trust how you'll handle things, please don't get the wrong idea. I'm not going to get in your way or stop you from doing things, because I know you'll do what's right."
