Takeshi was trying not to worry too, but hearing Viral it was definitely worth concern. He sounded like he was worse than before, meaning that Yumi and Vegeta would both be in danger. He almost wanted to follow the latter inside to try and help but they had been told to wait, probably for the best. "They're going to be fine, don't worry buddy," the older boy said, smiling as he gave Shu a pat on the back. "Yumi and Vegeta know Viral better than anyone, if anyone can calm him down it's them." That was only when they knew what they were facing though. From what their friend had been saying on the way down this wasn't something he had ever dealt with before, this was an entirely new beast. Even Vegeta then had absolutely no clue what was going on, and he was the only one that really ever did. The scratching at the doors was very unpleasant to hear, he couldn't well imagine how it must sound inside the room. The scratching made Takeshi reflexively step in front of Shu a bit, though certain they were safe where they were. "Even if he's got sharp claws these doors are really thick. You'd have to blast through it just to make a dent, never mind break it open. As long as Vegeta doesn't open the doors Viral isn't going anywhere." Neither were their friends, meaning they had to help the Beastman now or they would be spending a very long few days trapped inside that room. Just what in the world had Viral become? This wasn't right, he shouldn't be changing into this. Father had never mentioned another transformation, and yet here he was changing into something new. If this were possible he'd think it would have been mentioned by someone, it was a pretty big oversight not to after all. Keeping a careful eye on the Beastman Vegeta wasn't sure what to do, how he was supposed to help. Genes were activating, that's what was causing this, but he didn't know what ones. It wasn't as though he had tools on him to suppress it either, all he had was his small PDA that was linked to the ship. Unless he wanted to try using the fire system to douse Viral and make him mope for being wet a lot of good it was going to do. Being roared at suddenly made him tense up, expecting to be attacked any second now. Then, almost comically Viral toppled forward, just barely catching himself before his head hit the ground. Alright, so he was still in the process of changing, his movements were very awkward. What would he be capable of once he was finished though? Crap, there had to be something he could do, but what? Something even more puzzling than Viral's change caught his eye, and he turned his head slightly to see Yumi crawling towards their friend. Blinking owlishly he cocked his head, opening his mouth a few times dumbfounded before finally finding his voice. "Yumi...? Uh... What are you doing?" If she just played nice then no one was going to get hurt, plain and simple. Of course Vegeta just had to be in the room now, go figure, now she had an audience for this ridiculous farce that was her behavior. He called her out on it as soon as she dropped down, and she looked back at him with a gaze that screamed 'Talk and I'll kill you'. Her face had reassumed a deep red hue and she was feeling awfully nervous now, Viral seemed to be getting more violent. Nonetheless she moved ahead until she was at his side again, really not having any clue how to approach this. If only she could channel her inner cat, whatever the hell that meant, then maybe she'd have some idea. Instead she awkwardly came up alongside Viral and rubbed herself up along him, nuzzling his head at his shoulder. Hardly able to smile she gave a soft purr, tentatively reaching out and pawing at his head. Behind them she swore she heard Vegeta snickering, and it was all she could do to not scream at him. If this worked then Vegeta was so going to get it when they were done.
