Yumi gave a dramatic roll of her eyes, smiling at Viral amused as she drew back. "Now you're just stretching for things. You won't hurt me, on purpose or otherwise, so relax." She could really go overboard and pinch his cheek, do something teasing, but figured she'd spare him the humiliation. In some ways it was like dealing with a moody kid, you could give them affection and all they did was fuss. Hehe, if Viral heard that analogy he'd probably get all indignant and tell her otherwise. Raising her arms up over her head in a stretch she glanced at the Beastman, scratching behind one of her own ears. "I doubt any of this was [i]meant[/i] to happen, it just... Did. Nothing we can do now but make it better, which is exactly what we're trying to do. And it is going to get better, you know as well as I do Vegeta will drive himself insane looking for your cure at this point, so it's bound to happen. And if he thinks he's found something then you know he's going to work at it." No one was as... Stubborn in that regard as Vegeta. The way he could single mindedly work on a single project at once was astounding, and often gave great results. It was in part why he ended up CEO of Capsule Corp and not one of the senior board members, she recalled.

"And I'll work at it until it's finished," Vegeta interrupted, coming out from the swinging doors. Smiling slightly he stood behind Viral, wiping his hands down on a rag he brought with him. "The food will be done in a bit, just some simple dishes for now. Just some haddock filets, some vegetables, potatoes with garlic and a few easy bake rolls. Not exactly a cuisine, but it should fill us up." Provided Viral was even going to eat, he was averted to any such thing right now. Tucking the rag into the waistband of his pants he sat down on the edge of the table, looking down at the Beastman thoughtfully. Even while cooking he hadn't stopped thinking about gene therapy, and now he was trying to decide how exactly they should go about it. If those genes were for his erratic energy spikes then regulating that ought to undo the transformations, or at the very least enable Viral to do so himself. On a bit of a stretch Vegeta reached down, grabbing hold of Viral's forearm and examining the fin and fur closely for a moment. "Viral... I know you're capable of controlling your energy to a point, drawing it in and expelling it. I'm probably hitting a wall with this, but have you tried retracting your energy yet? Or... Consider the way you undo the feline transformation, has that worked for this?"

Inevitably Takeshi was going to feel cocky going into this sparring match. He had always been stronger than Choi, even if only marginally when they first met. It wasn't often he took pride in his heritage, but knowing he was born of the only Super Saiyan gave his already massive ego a bit of a boost to boot. He was doing a damn good job not showing his arrogance though as they traded blows, trying to just get a feel for his friend's power for now. Starting off with an open palm strike and following with a series of punches he grinned as each was met by a subsequent punch, the sound of his and Choi's fists colliding creating a bit of an echo. Even abruptly driving a knee up to try and catch the other boy off guard was met by a block, he'd certainly gotten better. "Not too bad! Though I am going easy on you," Takeshi replied, dodging another punch. Trying to grab hold of Choi's arm as it flew by he intended to lift the other boy up and slam him on the floor, then try to pin him down and get his arm in a lock. Simple grappling they were taught in training back on Kortal, kind of useless in a real fight but handy in training.

Kabocha knew this wasn't going to be easy for him, and so far his predictions were true. T'charrl didn't seem to have any weakness, none that he could figure out immediately. After hitting the Kaesstrian he knew he was solid, all muscle and hard muscle at that. To top that off he had speed, and presumably endurance to boot. All in all he was your typical brawler, it would be one hell of a fight if they just went hand to hand. Ki might be an option if he wasn't so worried about causing a change, probably best to avoid that for now then. After lunging out at the Kaesstrian he tried to get right back into the swing of things, coming back with another flurry of punches. Even the ones that did hit didn't feel very strong, he'd have to really work to do some damage. Again he had to stop and dodge a big fist, grinning when he nimbly did so. He hadn't realized that T'charrl had spun though, and soon found his feet up by his head as he was falling down. Laughing excitably he caught himself on one hand, planting the other and using it to rotate himself as he kicked out, trying to knock T'charrl away. "For a big guy you're fast!"
