Vegeta really didn't want to resort to a prototype, there was no telling what may happen. He knew what should happen, but until it was tested it was all theory. Seeing how out of control the situation had become though he knew he had to use it, being their only option now. In order to use his invention it meant getting close to Viral, and in the Beastman's state that was anything but ideal. To do it safely he'd have to be quick, linger and it might result in him being attacked. Dashing right at his twisted friend he placed the device on his chest, letting the tool do the rest. Once it had secured itself on Viral's person Vegeta moved away, standing at a safe distance to observe. The light coming on was a good sign, as was his figure gradually changing back. Unfortunately it wasn't a true fix, Viral still exhibited some features of his other forms. He appeared exhausted now, whether that was due to his energy running out on its own or the device it was hard to say for certain. Most importantly was that he had been changed back enough to calm him down, now he'd be manageable. Still... Viral was in bad condition, enough so that he was barely staying up. Vegeta needed no more than the sight of his friend as prompt to go over, Yumi doing the same as each of them tried to take one of his arms for support. "Just hang on Viral, we've got you. You're going to be fine," he said, smiling uncertainly. Hopefully that was true, there was no certainty as to what had happened.

Takeshi was utterly beside himself despite witnessing the whole thing, still sitting up in the air. What the hell had Vegeta put on Viral? And why hadn't he changed back to himself now? This whole mission had just turned into one big headache, not unlike their last one on Shaharia. It would be nice to have a job be straightforward for once. Complaints aside the Saiyan was relieved his friend was okay, now that the others were here things would work out just fine. There was concern though for how the Narbu were going to take this, considering the ten minute mark hadn't even passed yet. Glancing over at the Chieftain he watched as the guy went back to his four men, talking to them by the looks of it. So were they deciding what had come of their duel then? If they got sent away empty handed after all of this it was going to be a real pain. Sighing softly Takeshi looked back at his burned palms, wincing as he touched the skin on his hands. Some bandages wouldn't be a half bad idea, and some aloe. As he glanced back at the ship he spotted Shu over by it as well, bouncing up and down for goodness knows what reason. Curious, Takeshi flew over to his younger brother, setting down right in front of him with a smile. "What are you hopping for? You a rabbit now?" he teased, giving his brother a quick look over. Good, he was unharmed, that was a relief.

Their duel had come to a close it seemed, and well before the time had expired. The Chieftain wasn't thrilled with the outcome, it wasn't a fitting end for such a momentous decision. Since no clear victor could be declared it was difficult to determine if they were going to be joining or not as well. For what it was worth Viral had managed to stay in the fight even after sustaining some blows, that was commendable. Giving the benefit of the doubt it was safe to say the Beastman would have made it the entire duration, probably changing yet again in the process. The deal behind those transformations was an utter mystery to himself and his men, none of them were familiar with it. The manner in which Viral's friends had responded to it didn't bode well, and the erratic energy he'd been giving off was reason enough to be uneasy about it. It had ended well enough, the Chieftain determined, given the circumstances. Viral didn't seem well, it would be improper to expect the fight to continue. Stepping away from his men he approached Yumi and Vegeta, glancing down at Viral with a faint smile.

"Good fight, [i]dar'um[/i], your strength is commendable. I feel though that was not your best, that something may have been holding you back. [i]Sou hestia gal, brok dam ta,[/i] perhaps some time we can have a rematch, I would like to see your true strength someday." That meant of course welcoming them back, which he figured was conveyed in those words. If Viral could prove that this fight wasn't a fluke then the Chieftain was more than happy to duel him again. "That is a strange piece of technology you have there, pup. Though I would expect no less from a Saiyan." Both intriguing and a bit off-putting, that device. Something that could both bind and sedate a warrior, it was unlike anything he'd seen before. Certainly useful for restraining someone, however dishonorable that might be. An unfitting way for Viral to be taken away, though perhaps for the best considering what had transpired. 

Vegeta was a bit on edge with the Chieftain approaching, half expecting some kind of angry outburst or threat. Hard to say he was disappointed when the Narbu simply came over to speak to Viral, sort of, and exchange pleasantries. That was a welcome relief, he was not in the mood to fight, not in the cold out here like this. Speaking of, standing around as they were was becoming properly miserable, his body was shaking now and he was certain he heard his own teeth chattering. "Saiyan...? Only by heritage, don't classify me as one of those brutes," he replied, a bit defensive on the subject. "And it's just an energy damper, I'm actually surprised it worked too. I think it drew too much power from him though..." It was intended to weaken, not outright deplete energy. Some tweaks would have to be made, a couple adjustments here and there in the algorithm and it ought to do just what he wanted. A big shiver wracked Vegeta's body, making him shake visibly before sighing. This cold was properly dreadful.

"Interesting... I did not think such a thing was possible," the Chieftain remarked, eying the device on Viral's chest. He was not very much into technology himself, it was a hassle and unnecessary. But inventions like these were far and few between, even someone like him could appreciate the work. Seeing Vegeta's shuddering the Narbu smiled amused, "Saiyans are not built for the cold, as I remember. Hence the pups being bundled up," he said, laughing in what sounded like a lighthearted growl. "Come, we will bring you all inside, let you warm around a fire. It would be unjust to send you all back without some hospitality, [i]ir lok ar mal[/]." The community building would work well, and it was a short ways away, in view even from where they stood now. "Come, we will bring you there." the Cheiftain added, turning and beginning to walk into the village, his four subordinates following suit.

Vegeta was about to protest going along when the Chieftain asked for them to follow. The shuttle was right there, and their ship was waiting for them, they really didn't need this. Then again they had come here for the purpose of negotiating an alliance, leaving now would be a bit daft as they would just have to come back again to talk. Looking to Yumi he nodded his head, adjusting Viral carefully on his shoulder. "Just hang on a little longer Viral, we'll get you back in no time." he said, smiling reassuringly. Turning his head then over his shoulder he called back to the two brothers, "Come on you two! We're going inside!" And out of this gods forsaken cold. Stepping in time with Yumi he began to help carry Viral along, following after the Narbu.
