Yumi didn't know what more she could do, not when Viral was clearly out of control. She didn't think she had done enough to provoke this, she'd been so darn careful! The fact that something had gone wrong was staring her in the face though, or more like bearing down on her. It wasn't ideal but she had to keep the Beastman away, if he got to her there was no telling what might happen. If she was injured, which was a strong possibility, it would only depress her friend even more. Yet the alternative... With quite a bit of reservations she raised both hands, gathering Ki and firing it off as quickly as she could to drive Viral away. Cringing as she watched her attack connect she quickly cut off the flow, watching somberly as Viral slammed into the wall and crashed to the ground. She had been so insistent that this wouldn't happen, now that it was she didn't know what to do. Things went from bad to worse as her friend began to change too, of all the things they didn't need right now. She might be relieved to see the feline form if he wasn't still all mixed up, since Viral knew how to control that aspect of himself. Slowly and with far less outward aggression he began to approach again, looking to struggle quite a bit in the process. Maybe he was still there... Maybe she could still help him?

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to blast you..." Yumi said, watching her friend worriedly, "You just... I didn't know what to do!" She couldn't offer an excuse because there was none, she had panicked and that was all there was to it. Her fault, and here she was supposed to be helping Viral. Hitting him and blowing him away obviously wasn't the route to take, there had to be some way she could be useful. Staring at her friend she slowly began to notice something, something she couldn't quite place. In the heat of their sparring she hadn't noticed before, but now the lull in action made Yumi aware of an odd sensation around her. It was difficult to explain, it almost felt like the air around her was heavy and... Angry? That didn't make sense, air couldn't be feeling anything. Yet there was this definite sense of madness, as well as a pain and uneasiness. They were emotions no doubt but where were they coming from, and how was she feeling them? This was all so confusing, she hadn't a clue what was going on any more. If they were emotions, she told herself, they had to be coming from someone else. She certainly wasn't angry, she knew that much, and the only other person in the room was Viral. Eying the Beastman, Yumi blinked in surprise, making the guess that it must be his emotions she was picking up on. But how in the world was she doing something like that? 

"Yeah, I know you don't mean it in a bad way, relax Shu," Takeshi said, smirking as he shrugged his shoulders, "I just don't think that power makes you angry, or evil. I mean... Maybe those people are always like that, and they just couldn't do anything before since they didn't have the power, you know? Maybe once they get the power you really see what they're like." Now that sounded like some psychological mumbo-jumbo, he'd probably picked that up from one of Vegeta's ramblings somewhere along the line. There were good and evil people in the world, that was a given, but he doubted the reason for a person being either was just their Ki, or how much power they had. Goku was a perfect example of being a good person with a ton of power, and Shu recognized that much. So it wasn't Ki, that much seemed pretty clear so far. "Really promise, I said I'd do it, didn't I?" Takeshi asked, "Big promise or not, I'm doing it. You're my little brother, I'm always going to be around to help you, you know that." He may not be the best with words sometimes, or actions even, but he really did care about Shu. Sure, he may know a few more things than his brother but this family business was just as new to him as it was to Shu. Both were learning as they went along, and they both needed one another for that.
