Viral’s level of control was at a bare minimum by the time they all got here so it probably didn’t help to shout at him from afar. His first instinct was to fire at whatever that was to get them away from him, unknowingly throwing that blast straight for everyone he was familiar with. Letting out a choking cough after his attack, he shook his head before kicking out and throwing his legs around to get up and away from the Narbu. He was feeling confused after hearing Yumi’s voice, his mind not quite able to comprehend it at this time and in his current condition. He was just in so much pain. Throwing his claws around to get the Narbu to back off, he went for him again without any regards to the others moving in towards him as his mind was pretty set on tearing up whatever was bothering him right now. He couldn’t deal with his own pain so going after the closest person was the only thing he could do. Shu was definitely trying to get to them, almost losing sight of them as he tried to fly along in his own unstable way before a sudden blast into the sky allowed him to find his way again. Almost falling when it happened, he quickly tried to regain his balance and tried to go faster. They were in danger because of Viral’s rampage and the fact that he had been unable to stay in the air proved to be worrying. Viral must have fired at them for that to happen, but he definitely hoped he didn’t hit them and forced them down rather than having to decide to go. Soon enough he could see them in the distance, but even then he didn’t want to catch Viral’s eye. Without much regard taken towards the ship, Viral barely realised Yumi was approaching him until she spoke up. Turning around quickly, Viral let out a snarl at the sight of her as he swung his body around to face her. He was breathing pretty heavily, sounding as if he was in pain with each breath. He certainly didn’t appear to be going after her as she spoke, but he didn’t appear to be calming down much either. Staring down at her he hissed as he slowly moved closer until she began to do the same, instead halting and moving a foot backward as if intimidated. He appeared to recognise her, but not by a great deal as he still snarled at her and lowered his head when she reached her hand out. He appeared more afraid of her coming closer to him, his claws rising up as if going to strike her; however, as his claws strained a large grey growth emerged from his forearm in the shape of a large fin before his claws simply struck his own head. Letting out a snarl of pain he shook his head, another fin emerging from his other arm as a large dorsal fin grew out from the spikes on his back. The growths appeared to force him to stop more than anything as something else took control, his large body collapsing onto his knees and his paws pressed into the ground. He certainly appeared to become more docile than he was before as his energy was gradually exhausting itself from the rapid changes, his body unable to take much more of it in his current form.
