"We're important because we're Princes, I guess. We're supposed to be pretty strong because of who our father is, at least that's the vibe I get from these guys." It was still pretty confusing as to why they were needed still though, considering how strong some of the rebels actually were. Takeshi was reluctant to admit that Korian was probably still stronger than him, that guy always seemed to be ahead of them whenever they met. In a way too he figured Viral was stronger than them as well when he changed, considering he had held his own against the rebel leader for a while. If that was the case than he and Shu were third and fourth strongest here, maybe even lower depending on just how strong Sayomi is. "I don't really get what being a Prince is all about either honestly, I never did figure it out. I mean I got stuff, and we did things for our father, but I don't know if that's what its all about." They did get a bit of respect too, even from Elites. Takeshi had anyways, Shu had been slightly... Indisposed while they were on Kortal. Shrugging his shoulders the older boy smiled slightly, placing his hands in his pockets as he looked over at Shu. "To be honest... I just want to go back to being us when this is all over. I don't care for any of this Prince crap, it's kind of annoying really. And it gets us way too much attention," he added, nodding in the direction of the rebels before them.

Vegeta would like to dispute Viral's cynicism, but he was agreeing with some of it he found. Fact of the matter was he didn't truly know what was going on here, he never did get a good glimpse behind the scenes of everything. In a way he supposed he was just hoping this was the real deal considering they were backing it. If it turned out to be just another dictatorship they could probably topple it, but then what? If the King was out of power and Korian couldn't lead than there would be a huge power gap for quite a while most likely. Being brought into the bridge of the flagship sent Vegeta through a bit of a loop for a moment, seeing all the displays and systems scattered about the room. He had thought their own ship was impressive, but this was downright awe inspiring. Those screens seemed so much more vivid than their own, and he was certain he couldn't move them like that. The crew in here was so much larger than their own as well, it must be such a simple matter running this vessel. He had to admit, he was jealous. Busy with staring at all of the machines he had scarcely noticed Korian coming over, looking up at the rebel leader and nodding politely. It didn't take long for Viral to get snappy, making Vegeta groan inwardly as he smacked his forehead. So much for being polite.

Korian had been skeptical whether or not the Princes and their group would show up, he figured they would have their own agenda. So seeing them here was a genuinely nice surprise, one he wasn't going to squander. Greeting them politely he was made to back off a bit as Viral was as hostile as ever, getting sour yet again. Smiling slightly the Saiyan looked at the Beastman, folding his hands at the small of his back. "Had I known you would be so impatient I'd just have sent my request over communications," he replied, taking a small jab at Viral before looking at the rest of the group. "He does have a fair point though, and we really don't have the time for chatter. The reason I asked you all here is to help us gather more forces. As it stands now we've got a sizable fleet, as I'm sure you noticed, but we're worried it may not be enough. We'll be hitting the main Saiyan forces going into Kortal and could use all of the help we can get. It's for that reason I would like to ask you to revisit worlds that you have previously been to and, if possible, recruit more help. Anyone you can muster would be greatly appreciated."

Ah, so that was the game then. Ask the Princes and their friends to call in favors on planets they had saved. It was kind of a dirty move, Vegeta thought, using their previous ventures like that. As he considered it he had trouble recalling any group of aliens that might even be helpful. The Kaesstrians did not have space travel, and while warriors he wasn't sure they could compete against Saiyans. There was that frozen tundra of a world as well, albeit he'd not even seen the resident aliens there. They might have space travel but their strength was questionable, would they be a factor? They certainly couldn't go back to the world where their ship had been remodeled, those people were much too primitive to be of any assistance. "So you want us to essentially guilt people into helping the war because we've helped them? Don't you think that's a little unfair to be doing? I can't imagine most worlds have recovered enough yet to really mount any kind of offensive."

"If I thought we had another option I wouldn't be asking for this. Unfortunately it's the only chance we have to bolster our forces, and we really don't have the luxury of time." Korian explained, turning away and looking to the center panel in the room. "Bring up the map please? Show our sector and Kortal." From the desk emerged a large projected screen, and quickly it filled up with a starry map, a few designated planets around the area. The rebel fleet was signified by a series of blue markers, a few good thousand kilometers from Kortal. Red markers littered the area around the Saiyan home world, numbering far more than what the rebels had. "We're outnumbered as things stand now. We may be able to get through their regular troops, but as far as Elites are concerned we've very few in number who can confront them. Of those currently present the only ones who can even hope to beat Elites are all of us, Sayomi included. If we're busy dealing with hordes of soldiers however we can't focus on the larger threats." Sighing softly Korian rubbed at his forehead, closing his eyes before glancing at everyone again. "I hate to say this, but we need more forces just so we can eliminate the more dangerous targets ourselves. We can't go anywhere with our current numbers, I'm worried our troops would get overwhelmed by the enemy's numbers."

So they were being asked to find cannon fodder then, that was how it sounded. Takeshi wasn't near as old or experienced as some people here but even he wasn't naive enough to ignore what this meant. They were going to bring other people here with them, to fight and probably die for the rebellion. It was a do or die situation for the Saiyans so they weren't going to hold back, and that meant the rebels couldn't either. The fact Korian was even suggesting endangering people who had only just been freed was actually pretty disgusting. Frowning deeply Takeshi looked up at the rebel leader, shaking his head angrily. "We can't do that to them, they don't have any part in this war! Besides, we only just freed them. What good is their freedom if they come out here and die? Then everything we did means nothing!"

"As I said Takeshi, I know it's not ideal. But we have to consider the larger picture here, the fate of the universe can rest on who wins this battle. We cannot allow the King and his soldiers to continue on like this, they have to be stopped. If these people truly want to be free then they'll be willing to risk what they have to ensure that freedom. After all... Nothing is gained without sacrifice, and people will die during this battle. That's something that we all have to accept however if we're to free everyone from this tyranny. Believe me when I say I'll be doing my best to ensure we take as few casualties as possible, but ultimately we will suffer some blows." Korian wasn't at all happy with his request himself, but it needed to be made. There was no way they could carry out this fight without at least matching the Saiyan numbers. Since acquiring new technology and troops the rebellion had certainly been bolstered, but even in its weakened state the Saiyan forces were superior. Looking a bit weary all of a sudden the commander glanced back at the map again, his mouth forming a hard line. "I am ready to die to protect everyone here, including all of you. That goes for whoever you can bring to us before the battle. I will gladly give my life if it means we win this war, I give you my word."
