Of course Doctor Ikura was going to know what was happening. He had to, no one else did, not even Vegeta. The best they could help right now was just find a way to keep Viral calm and hope he didn't stay this way the entire trip back. That would be quite bad, they would have no option but to keep him locked up in that room, for his own sake as well as everyone else's. If anything was going to make the guy feel worse it was being caged like a common animal at a zoo. Poor Shu too, he seemed to be pretty nervous over this whole ordeal. Little guy was worrying his head off over their friend, expressing a good few nervous habits he often did. Takeshi smiled sympathetically as he wrapped an arm around his brother, pulling him against his side in a hug before letting go and patting his head. "Hey, I'm serious buddy, Viral will be okay. They'll figure it out and help him, they always do. It might take a little while but don't you worry, they'll fix things." 

Watching Viral gorge on food like that was a tad worrisome, he shouldn't be eating so much after essentially fasting. Yet the entire pile of pilfered goods were devoured in record time, and soon there was nothing left for him to eat. What followed proved to be far more worrisome than his having a few too many bites. Yumi watched wide eyed as Viral began to tremble, looking like he was in pain as he started to change again, more rapidly than before. Masses of fur burst out all over his body, and rather hastily he was tearing off the remains of his clothes, leaving him only covered in the thick white fur that now covered his body. He grew quite a bit in size as well, easily being larger than a tiger by the time the sudden growth spurt had ended. Curiously enough he still resembled himself despite all the changes, yet it was evident he had changed again. This was an entirely new side of him, and it was honestly pretty intimidating. Yumi wasn't sure how to respond to it, finding herself stuck where she stood for the longest time. Exchanging looks with the Beastman she swallowed back nerves, slowly approaching him as she held out a hand to touch his muzzle. They had to keep him calm, otherwise things could go south very quickly. "Viral...? I'm not going to hurt you," she said, speaking in a deliberately soft tone, "I'm your friend, remember? I just want to help."

What was this form anyways? Viral had assumed his other form a few times now, they were fairly familiar with that one. So what was it that had prompted an entirely new one to appear then? This entire situation didn't make a lick of sense, it all seemed much too sudden. Somewhere along the lines something had changed, and the fact that Vegeta didn't know what it was infuriated him. Damn it all, he was supposed to be the one caring for his friend. How in the world was he supposed to do that if he didn't even know what was wrong? Turning to watch Yumi approach he frowned, not wanting to shout at her to stop in risk of frightening Viral. If he tried to attack her then he'd step in, but for the moment he would stay back. No reason to agitate Viral, certainly not when they were risking a fight. Looking back at his PDA he scowled, further frustrated that he had absolutely no information to use for this. He didn't even have the proper tools on him to examine the Beastman's vitals, then maybe he would know at least if he was okay or not. "Yumi... Just be careful, we don't know what kind of mindset he's in right now..."
