"If Viral can fly well enough then that plan sounds solid to me. I'm sure he'll be glad to be involved in some way for a change, it seems like his sitting around really gets to him." There was a bit of skepticism about the Beastman flying though, Vegeta had to admit. He may have learned to operate one while under the control of the collar, but it was possible he could have forgotten in that time period. As for Shu eating them he felt that was by far the least of their problems. The topic of Takeshi threw him through a loop for a moment, not expecting the conversation to change like that. Come to think of it he had been acting rather unusual, almost the complete opposite of what they were used to in fact. "You think he might be acting like that to keep Shu happy?" Vegeta mused, frowning a bit. "Even before Shu was really the only person Takeshi relaxed around, so that's not really different. He's happier than he ought to be though, with everything going on. I get the feeling he's doing that to try and keep his brother happy too." Perhaps he didn't want what happened to Viral to happen to his sibling. Was faking one's own happiness really the best way to go about ensuring another's though? Kai posed a rather curious question as well, one that could pose a problem later on. "I don't want to test that theory..." Vegeta remarked, "Takeshi has always been a bit rough, and if he was as bad as you say without Shu I'd rather not see it for myself."

Takeshi looked to no longer be a factor in this fight, meaning it was now a six on two. Moving with great haste the Kaesstrians split into two teams, each attacking the remaining members of the group. First and foremost was the group striking out at Viral, wielding their staves and blades with deadly precision. The knife user went in first, landing a decent cut right on the Beastman's arm to draw blood. Expecting the wound to make him relent the group was taken aback when instead Viral retaliated, one of the staff users taking a strong hit to his abdomen and being sent backwards. After landing a successful thwack the other staff user went over to help his comrade, the knife wielder keeping himself between the alien and his comrades for safety. They had been told to expect some surprises from these people, and seeing the Beastman hardly acknowledge the gash in his arm was definitely one such surprise. Trying to regather themselves and go in for a second attack the trio was instead left playing catchup as their opponent abruptly ran for the other team.

Swords swung out at high speeds, slicing through the air with a sharp hissing sound at Shu. Both slashes missed, and each alien had to spring back to avoid their legs being swept out from beneath them. The final member came crashing down above the young Saiyan next, though with a quick enough reaction his attack was avoided as well, the heavy metal ball imbedding itself in the ground quite a ways. Temporarily left to struggle with his weapon the two sword users moved to make another attack, picking themselves up and running right at Shu again. Both however were abruptly stopped, being sent tumbling over one another as they were tackled off to the side. Each lost the grip on their weapons as they fell, and soon were jumbled up with Viral as they vied to try and subdue him. One attempted to grab hold of his arms as the other tried to reach for their sword to skewer him. Assuming that Viral was now more than occupied the remaining four all made a move on Shu at once. The two staff users took to the air, trying to fly overhead and get behind him to cut off escape. The sword and knife users meanwhile slowly began to advance on him, also trying to position themselves to block him in.
