The only way to fight Viral now was through energy, until a way was figured out to engage him safely up close. The Chieftain had his reservations about using energy initially, but since his opponent had done so he figured that option was on the table now. In trying to drive back the Beastman with a powerful blast of his own he frowned as it was met with an equal blast, the resulting collision baking a good area in a heavy heat. If they kept doing this so close to the homes then something was bound to be damaged, and his people may be in danger. He wouldn't call it off, but the Narbu was going to take precautions to keep bystanders out of the fray. Figuring he'd be pursued the Chieftain jumped away from their makeshift arena, making huge bounds away until they were deeper into the basin and a fair ways from any structures. Sure enough Viral followed in pursuit, and with a vicious enthusiasm it seemed. Not only had his appearance changed then but so had the man's mentality, he was a completely different fighter. It may be best to simply end this battle now and put and end to things before they escalated out of control. The Saiyans would likely be upset, but it was a small matter compared to the safety of his people.

Having transformed twice already the Chieftain was vaguely familiar with the signs of an oncoming change by now. So when Viral began to shake once more he braced for what might be coming, having no idea what they could be facing now. It wasn't a new form, not entirely anyways. Rather than change shape completely it looked as though the Beastman was caught in between two states, neither the feline nor the dragon. Whatever had caused this appeared to be causing quite a lot of pain for Viral as well, his angry roars replaced with yelps and shouts. Honor said not to battle an opponent like this, there was no pride in beating someone who was falling like this. The fact that he still may be a threat however remained, they couldn't leave him be and hope it would turn out for the best. Staring down Viral for a moment of contemplation the Narbu slowly moved forward, sizing up how best to approach this. Seeing little other option he dashed suddenly at Viral, reaching out to grab hold of his opponent around his midsection. If successful he would lift up Viral before slamming him onto the ground, trying to then pin him and prevent him from moving, hoping perhaps his energy might deplete sooner or later.

For Takeshi to have come back as he did, sounding as worried as he had, it didn't bode well. Just what in the world was happening with Viral? More pressingly Vegeta had to wonder why the brothers had allowed Viral to fight in the first place. Though, knowing the Beastman he had likely opted for himself to fight, and the others went along just to placate him. "Damn it... He shouldn't be battling, not right now..." Not after he'd been enlightened by Takeshi prior about their hiccup during training. It had raised all sorts of red flags and only spurred on Vegeta's desire to solve the problem of Viral's changes. Even while tutoring T'charrl his mind was devoted mostly to that issue, a fact he had apologized for numerous times with the Kaesstrian. Glancing over at Yumi momentarily he saw the look of worry on her face plain as day, she was greatly concerned as well. If they were to help Viral they were going to have to bring him down from his high, something that was never easy, even for the two of them. 

By following Takeshi's directions and heading south it took no time at all with the shuttle to reach the basin. Vegeta may have flown over it entirely if he hadn't picked up on Shu's energy. From their altitude he could just barely make out the shapes of those down below, figuring the pair brawling to be Viral and the Narbu he was engaged with. Wasting no time then he dropped the ship straight down, the sounds of roaring engines likely announcing their presence. Since there was a fight going on and Viral was questionable at best Vegeta kept their distance for now, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire and risk losing the ship. He and Yumi were not prepared for being out here, it would really suck if they lost the vehicle and had to walk back. "Okay, listen you two. Viral's aggression is extremely high right now, and there's no guarantee that he'll respond to a familiar face or voice. So, if it comes down to it, I'll need you two to help me restrain him. I can get him to revert, but only if I can get close enough." His research hadn't been completely fruitless, he had some good theories about managing the forms. Really they were only that, theories, but it was better than nothing. The sound of a chair squeaking as someone rose made him turn to his side, surprised to see Yumi going into the back of the ship. "Where are you going Yumi?"

They might have to end up restraining Viral, but only as a last ditch effort. Yumi wasn't content with using force, it wasn't the way to get through to the Beastman. She had brought him down from a change before, so she was confident she could do it again, even if things might be different. Ignoring Vegeta's question she moved past Takeshi, grabbing the handle of the door and throwing it open. It was certainly cold out, and near instantly a gust of wind greeted them, making her body break out in goosebumps and shivers. Ignoring her slight discomfort Yumi looked down at the struggling pair, worried that if they didn't act soon either the Narbu or Viral were going to get seriously hurt. Holding onto either side of the door she leaned out, shouting loudly to be heard below, "Viral! Viral it's me, Yumi! You're okay, you can calm down!" If he looked up then he acknowledged her, that was a start. If not then she'd leave the ship and go down there, maybe getting close would help things.
