Shu was concentrating on getting out first and foremost, knowing he shouldn’t have to put up with all of this in such a tiny space. He could fight them off if he could get the space, but he was worried about having to put up with those swords. Getting sliced like that didn’t hurt at first but it was definitely beginning to sting now as he made his immediate run outside. Once he finally managed to get the space, he turned around quickly and stared at the hole, hoping Takeshi could find his way out too. As the guards caught up with him and was finally managing to find their own way out, he watched them carefully before immediately turning his attention towards Takeshi, “I-I’m okay! It’s just…a little…” Looking to it, he was certainly starting to regret not watching his sides because that was really hurting now. It was such a thin cut and yet it bled like a normal one, the stinging pain being the worst part. He shouldn’t be concentrating on that just now, especially when he was supposed to have his focus on the guards who were coming right for him.

Shu couldn’t concentrate on Takeshi right now, especially when there was a whole group coming straight for him. They were fair intent on weakening them to the point of capture using extensive force and Shu couldn’t help but find that to be unfair, especially when they were all fairly strong. Looking to the closest ones quickly, he made a grab at one of the approaching guards and threw him around and into another, but that wasn’t going to help all that much. They were coming in fast and almost immediately there was two of them behind him. Letting out a gasp, he ducked under one of their attacks only to get kicked in the head, sent to the side and nearly into another stab that could have pinned down his arm. Spinning around once he managed to get his hands on the ground again, he pulled his tail around before making a jump at one guard, wrapping his tail around him and biting at his neck. The guard let out a squeal, grabbing at Shu’s hair to try and get him to let go but it was only making it worse.

Shu didn’t want to let go and the guards didn’t want to attack him beyond using their fists as he bit into their comrade. The guards punched at him repeatedly but Shu stayed attached to the guard right up until one grabbed hold of his tail, the pain of it causing him to let go before he was swung to the ground in a vicious yank. The force of the throw was made in an attempt to yank off his tail but it proved to be harder than that to pop off. Unable to get out of their grasp, Shu found himself in pain and struggling to move to release himself as the Shaharian guards discovered him to be much easier to capture, the aliens grabbing at the rest of his limbs while one snatched onto his hair again, moving to punch him to knock him out before he could get a chance to use his special ability.

As the alien raised a fist, an odd sound in the air caused it to stop, looking up before there was a sudden crash which resulted in the group being forced down and sand to kick up everywhere. Inside the impact zone, a bulky figure now pinned down the group of guards before one of them was immediately tossed from the pile, the sand beginning to clear. It was a rather torn and wind-battered T’charrl, his large claws forcing the guards away from Shu and clearing him from their grasp, the final one being snatched up in T’charrl’s jaws by their arm and tossed away. While the guard made a sudden jolt to try and recover from the throw it soon became evident that they weren’t going to go anywhere as their arm became limp and heavy before falling to the ground, their muscles partially paralysed as their saliva-covered wound and movement caused T’charrl’s poison to spread.

T’charrl looked like he had made some journey to get there, the sand and wind not being kind to him at all with his shredded wings and damaged skin. Despite the hazards brought to him he was willing to try and follow the brothers in whatever way he could. Hissing angrily, he moved away from Shu to give him some space, only making a glance at Takeshi before the strange sharp appendages extended out of his arms as he immediately leapt at the men attacking him, parrying their blades with the appendages as they struggled to understand what T’charrl was.
