Viral was slowly coming back to his senses, his whole world coming back into motion as he was brought back into the realms of consciousness. He didn’t know what he had been doing, his mind had gone off on its own and he was left confused to where he was and what was happening now. Letting out a groan as Yumi mumbled away he grabbed hold of his head, slowly bending forward before eventually sitting down as his eyes came back into focus. She was definitely there but her voice was giving him a headache, or rather an even worse headache than he had before. She was not exactly helping by speaking at the moment, but it wasn’t as if he could tell her off when he was only finding his mind again. Looking back at her he found it slightly easier to focus now that everything seemed to calm down, his energy still sparking off a few times but it just seemed to be leaking but it was nothing alarming. He was soon realising what had happened and could only be left confused by it, not feeling entirely aware to how he managed to transform. He shouldn’t had gone through with this session, all he had managed to do was scare Yumi and endanger her greatly. Feeling the pains of the transformation now and be able to fill his head with rational thoughts he was willing to think through the madness and actually give her a response, “I…am sorry…” he hissed, “I disobeyed him…and put you in danger…”

T’charrl felt like he was floating on a cloud, his body completely numbed and his mind misty. He wasn’t fully aware of what he was or how he looked, he had only been aware of what was happening to him from what he could see and feel. He was feeling drained and was probably not entirely well in the head to be trying to think through everything. He felt he had more mobility if anything, even if he was probably rivalling the size of a Narbu while looking more like a beast. Slowly he was coming back to his senses, his eyes opening up again with a bright glow. His insides were still changing and his muscles strengthening, but he was still able to move as his eyes immediately went to the boxes. He had one instinct to consume energy right now and the sugar he collected was his main source even if it brought him no nutrition. Slowly pushing his mass of a body up off the floor he turned towards the boxes, his claws reaching out and snatching one up, taking it close to his maw and yanking it open with his teeth before consuming the contents inside. His previous wings were all but gone at this point, but as he consumed the sugar bags there were a few growths forming on the mass on his back as his wings got ready to sprout or at least they should be new wings.

Shu didn’t know how he was supposed to get the rest of the grime off, his eyes staring down at the plate before he looked to his brother, “Ooh, she still no like you teaching me bad things…” Shu knew there were certain things Yumi didn’t want him to know when he was supposed to be the innocent pure one, not anything like Takeshi. The teaching of washing up was another distraction altogether and something Yumi probably wouldn’t want him to go near, probably because he’d break something if these plates weren’t made for handling warriors. Staring down at it he quizzed over what he was supposed to do about the grime only for Takeshi to start helping him, moving his hands into the right position to clean the plate. Staring at his hands he tilted his head a little, his eyes soon going to Takeshi again when he removed the plate from him, “Maybe, wouldn’t want him getting fright if he isn’t feeling well”, he spoke, lowering his head a little, “We should, yeah. I hope he’s okay…I hope fruit makes him happy! If he was hungry then he should have come with us…”

It looked safe enough to approach Viral again, yet Yumi was still cautious in getting close to him. She couldn't be completely certain yet and better safe than sorry. She got to the point where her friend could have easily reached out and struck her, yet he made no move to do so. Feeling like that meant things were alright now she took a seat before Viral, immensely relieved that was over with. Both of them could take a break now and then try getting Viral to change back, were that possible. She wasn't sure whatsoever what to do in order to change him back and chances were he didn't know either. That was something Vegeta was going to be needed for most likely, and by going to him he'd know right away they went behind his back. Yumi wasn't so much worried about being found out as she was disappointing her friend, and she couldn't help but worry that she might be made to stay away from the Beastman for a while. "Don't be sorry, this whole thing was my idea," Yumi corrected, looking up at Viral with an apologetic smile, "I didn't think your condition was that bad... I figured we'd be okay. I guess I didn't take it seriously enough, and because of that..." she trailed off, gesturing to her friend to relay her point. Aside from a slight scare she was unharmed after all of that, and even the fright was wearing off. Viral was likely in pain though and had to go through the transformation, and likely changing back as well. If anyone ought to be apologizing it was her. "I'm sorry for putting you up to this, I should have listened to Vegeta. Are you mad at me now...?"

Takeshi was fine with Shu learning how to clean plates and all, but not spending the whole afternoon doing it. Maybe he should get a bit more hands on to teach his brother how to do it properly. Grabbing his sibling's wrists then he began taking him through the motions, getting the last bits of food off of their first plate. "You're gonna learn the bad things anyways, might as well be from me," he said, taking the plate to set in the strainer, "We can't shelter you from bad stuff, you know? Hell, you've seen most of it already. It's a fact of life that you'll learn and see bad things, I just think it's better you see it from someone you know." Besides, he'd not taught Shu anything really bad anyways. Pranks, sure, and a few cuss words, but comparatively those were innocent. Takeshi honestly saw no issue with using foul language, he just censored himself to be a bit more considerate of others, and mostly to keep Yumi from smacking him. "Maybe he needed to rest after training? Since he doesn't sleep a ton that could have tired him out?" It was hard to tell with the Kaesstrian, they were so different from T'charrl that it was sometimes a mystery as to how he worked. Easing the sponge free from Shu's grasp, Takeshi grabbed the next dish and began cleaning, opting to take care of it himself instead. "Tell you what, I'll teach you how to clean dishes some other time. How about you get some fruit together for T'charrl while I do these? Then when I'm done we can go pay him a visit."

Viral had a pretty big worry that he wasn’t going to be able to keep a clear mind if he was like this and in this sort of pain, it wasn’t as if he had a real clue to how he was supposed to change back while he was feeling like this. Vegeta would probably have to take away his energy again if as a form of punishment as well to stop him from disobeying him, but whether he would be that annoyed to do that was the question. It shouldn’t be that hard to change back; once his energy had calmed down he should be able to no problem, but whether it was possible when it was going completely overboard right now was to be questioned. Every spark that came off him caused some form of pain in the form of a static twitch, making it difficult to focus. He was confused to how he managed to come out of that mania; he thought he was gone for sure and yet something helped him get through and find his mind again. Holding his head painfully he stared down at his paw, still trying to find focus before slowly looking to Yumi. She had no reason to say any of that, it was him who should had known better and warned her that it was going to be a bad idea, “I’m not mad at you…” he muttered, letting out an annoyed sigh, “I was told not to, I was given an order…even if it was you. I should had known better…” He needed to get out of here above all things, knowing if he was found down here he’d get into a lot of trouble. Groaning as he tried to find balance he slowly stood up on all fours, walking off towards the door with difficulty. It was hard enough to move when he was in pain, but to have heavy horns and large fins made balancing pretty difficult as his head was forced to droop towards the floor.

T’charrl’s sugar consumption was much higher than it was usually because of everything that had happened, his need to refuel after so much trauma being pretty high. It was barely a fraction of their sugar storage luckily for him so he wouldn’t get in trouble for it. While he was also comfort eating to remain calm and keep away corruption he could still feel his legs near give way because he was so low on energy with the threat that he may end up changing once more into his mutated form. Shoving a bag of sugar down his throat he soon backed off, the feeling of his wings coming through now becoming more noticeable. These were much different to how they usually felt; for one they felt like limbs rather than just large structures, his ability to bend them already in place. As the patterns soon began to form the wings formed spines all the way along the top, the shape of the wings appearing more exotic than before too to go along with the spines. Feeling fairly exhausted he could only hope nothing else was going to happen, the possibility of more still remaining high as the orbs had yet to settle. He could feel the spirit inside him at this point trying to help in whatever way it could, but the mutations still ran pretty deep and the General’s corrupt energy still ran strong, he just didn’t have the energy to stop it beyond the spirit helping him keep it at bay.

Shu felt that he might be able to do it a lot better if he was given a little more time, but Takeshi seemed pretty determined to keep him going and lead him along before they ended up spending forever here. Staring at Takeshi he frowned a little, giving his head a little shake, “I don’t want to learn things and find they are bad things, though”, he spoke, shaking his hands to try to dry them before using his top, “I don’t want to accidentally hurt someone with words too!” Saying bad things after hearing and seeing them was probably what would get him into trouble in the end, especially get Takeshi into trouble if Yumi heard him say anything he heard before. “Maybe he did…but where would he go so quick? His room?” he asked up, bouncing off his tail after Takeshi took the sponge from him, “Get some fruit? Okay! He likes a lot too”. Jumping along through the kitchen he went to search for the fruit, having a look around at first before checking in the storage. There was a whole walk in cupboard with lots of fresher stuff just sitting out as if stocked before and sure enough there was fruit. Bouncing on in he went straight for the fruit, gathering a bunch on his arms as well as taking an apple for himself, biting into it to carry it. Feeling pretty satisfied he bounced on out, closing the door behind him using his tail.

Yumi felt as though everything which had just happened was her fault, however rightly or unjustly so. Vegeta had been abundantly clear about Viral not doing anything extensive and yet she had dragged him down her regardless. As a result of that he had not only changed but gone on a brief rampage, some random miracle being the only thing that kept it from getting any worse. In spite of apologizing and taking blame the Beastman didn't agree, blaming himself instead. Even if he disagreed that didn't change her mind, they wouldn't have come down if she hadn't suggested it. Whether Viral was trying to make her feel better or truly felt responsible she didn't know, it was hard to say with him. Lifting her head she watched him wander towards the door unsteadily, getting up to her feet as well. "I guess it doesn't matter whose fault it is, what happened can't be changed," Yumi mumbled, frowning as she rubbed one of her arms, "I guess now we just worry about getting you to change back, however that works. Think we should go see Vegeta?" Realistically they weren't going to keep this from him, Vegeta was bound to find out one way or another. It was best then they just go face up to it now and have him fix things. If she was going to get chewed out for dragging Viral along then fine, she didn't much care. The Beastman was in pain and struggling and she much more worried about how he'd fare than herself.

"Fine... But when someone does something bad don't come to me with questions, because I shouldn't tell you," Takeshi retorted, sticking out his tongue before snatching away the sponge from his brother. He would take care of washing dishes, otherwise they might be here for an hour or more. The sooner they were done here, the sooner they could get to T'charrl and try getting him to play a little. Even in his bulky form the Kaesstrian ought to be able to play some simple games, tag definitely. Hide and seek though was likely out of the question, there were only so many places a big, burlesque bug could hide. Whilst finishing off the dishes he left Shu in charge of fetching fruit, figuring their friend might want some as he hadn't joined them for a meal. He had to be hungry after sparring, the rest of them had been and they weren't as big as T'charrl was. Getting through the dishes was fairly quick for the most part, and by the time Shu had finished his task Takeshi was setting the last of the silverware aside to dry. The sound of the walk in cupboard squeaking drew his attention across the room, and he smiled amused seeing Shu's latest haul. The little guy really needed to learn how to carry things aside from just loading up his arms, though that did work. "Steal some for yourself?" he asked, referring to the apple hanging out of Shu's mouth. Rolling his eyes with a smile he went to the door, holding it open for Shu, "Come on buddy, let's go see T'charrl."

Viral should had been more careful and now all he was going to get punished, training being a definite forbidden sport for him to partake in until he’s better. He was quite alright training right up until a certain point for some reason, his mind completely overwhelmed and everything was suddenly gone from his senses. He wished he could remember what happened but it was too difficult right now, especially when he was in constant pain. It wasn’t her fault, she didn’t know any better while he did and as a result he nearly sliced her right open. She was put in danger just from getting close to him. Feeling annoyed at himself and what he did he slowly stood up again to reach the lock on the door, finding it a little difficult to use when he had big paws. “I don’t want to see Vegeta”, he grumbled, not wanting to disturb him mainly, “He’d be furious. I just…want to go to my room…”

T’charrl felt like he could sleep, but that would be pretty dangerous given the circumstances. He was still forming and sleeping would mean getting startled and possibly hurting himself even more than he might. His skin was still hardening up and his fur was still forming patterns, the hardened mass on his back now disguised by fur. If it wasn’t for his orbs he probably looked like some sort of weremoth to some. He just needed to hold out a little bit longer to be out of the danger zone, but he was finding that to be a lot more difficult when there was nothing but silence around him. Last time there was that kid to talk to him and keep his mind off it, but he was all alone this time. Slowly moving his arms around he tried to push his body off the floor, trying to gain strength in his legs so that he may support his new weight and try to concentrate on that instead. He was able to hold himself up and even with his shape he was no bigger than a Narbu and not wide enough to not be able to fit through a door. Hissing, he strained his body to try and keep up, taking a step forward before he bent forward and held his head as his body shook, letting out a nasty snarl.

Shu didn’t know if they had to go all the way up to find their friend or all the way down, knowing they found him once in a large empty room. If they went all the way up to his room and found him there then it meant he really was tired, but if he wasn’t there then that meant he had retreated to transform again. He worried about his friend sometimes; that General guy really messed him up and his body was doing all sorts of things to him that couldn’t be at all pleasant. He was somewhat glad that he wasn’t like that or that his father hadn’t gone far enough to do that to him, feeling pretty sure he would be unable to handle it like his strong willed friend. Wandering over to Takeshi he looked up at him, staring at him for a second before shaking his head in denial that he had stolen anything. If he wanted an apple and it was just lying there then it was his now so that wasn’t exactly stealing. Looking to the door he bounced out of it once he could, watching Takeshi as he wandered out before looking up and down the corridor. Whatever way they went was for Takeshi to decide, feeling that he didn’t know where his friend might be.

Yumi felt positively awful over this whole affair, she was the reason Viral had gone and changed again. She was almost ashamed to look at him, knowing the way he was right now was her doing. Rubbing her arm uncomfortably she stopped at the door with the Beastman, watching as he awkwardly tried to get the doors open. Reaching out past him she did that for him, figuring it was the least she could do for him. "Yeah... We'll go to your room, that sounds like a good idea," she agreed, not sounding like her usual optimistic self. Was Viral going to be able to change back any time soon without Vegeta's help? She couldn't help but wonder how long he might be in pain because of this stupid sparring session, which was again of her design. All of this pouting couldn't be doing Viral any good, it certainly wasn't helping her either. Rather than feel sorry for herself then Yumi tried to smile, waving Viral on to follow her into the corridor. They could get to his room really quickly if they took the elevator, it wasn't much farther from the lift itself. Certainly quicker than walking to the stairs and going all the way back down the halls. "We'll get you to your room, then you can go ahead and nap. Or relax, whatever you want to do," Yumi said, smiling uncertainly as she began walking, "Do you need anything? I can get it while you relax in your room."

Shu could be the little fruit delivery boy, Takeshi was fine with leaving that task to his brother. It was easier for the little guy anyways, he didn't mind getting all sticky and gross from carrying the fruits like that. Teasing about stealing an apple he pushed open the doors for Shu, letting him out first then follow to the hallway. For whatever reason the younger boy stopped right at the door and started looking around, and when he got out there he did the same, wondering what his sibling was searching for. "Lose something...?" he asked, confused as to what Shu was doing. Shrugging it off he started down to the right, making way for the stairs to the next floor up. "We'll check his room first, he was heading that way before wasn't he? And if he's not down there then maybe we can have one of the crew call him, or find him somewhere." There were probably cameras on the ship, there may be one watching them right now for all he knew. Surely if T'charrl wasn't in his room then he'd slunk off to somewhere to hide, hopefully somewhere with surveillance. "You know... I've been kind of thinking of how to help him get better," Takeshi began again, scratching at his cheek lazily, "And I think I might have an idea. That little spirit guy said something about energy didn't he? Well... Know how we share energy with him when he heals people? What if a lot of us just did that, just shared energy? Maybe he'd have enough then for whatever is going on with him to fix itself. Or... It could make him change again... Which would be bad..." Hopefully T'charrl didn't go transforming on them, he really hated it when their friend went all big, bug like. It was kind of really unsettling.

Despite having his control back and ability to think a little clearer Viral was still having trouble with a few aspects that this form seemed to carry, namely when it came to doors. Apparently he had managed to really destroy the door and elevator panel when he was first changing into this creature so it wasn’t as if he’d be able to when he had some sense in the matter too. Growling when he had barely accomplished anything with this panel he looked to Yumi who decided to help him out with it, opening the door for him to head on out. It was a rather sorry state of affairs he was in, but he could hopefully get over it once he was a lot better. He was still very pessimistic about his outcome, he didn’t think he’d be living all that much longer if this was going to be the norm, especially if he didn’t know how he was supposed to find his senses again once his powers went out of whack again. Dropping to all fours again he grumbled as he exited the room, heading up towards the elevator with little grace in his steps, “If I can nap…I doubt it”, he spoke, feeling pretty moody still, “Anything? A steak…but I’m not allowed that. I don’t know if I can be left alone. I am a danger to everyone right now. I’d rather Vegeta didn’t come into my room and I ended up tearing his face off…”

T’charrl was definitely trying as well to stop the corruption, but it was way too much for just him and the spirit within. If only he didn’t take in all that energy from that man, if he had some control then maybe he might had been able to prevent that. There was no use wishing it never happened, all that mattered was that it happened and he would need to combat it if he could. He was shaking with fear mostly as he could feel his emotions become ever more aggressive, his desire for power becoming a real problem at this point. He had to remember he had friends and a family he cared for, but as the corrupted energy began to swirl in his orbs he was hastily running out of time. Keeping his claws to his head his other pair supported his weight, his body twitching before large bony spikes forced their way out of his shoulders which bulked up grotesquely with corrupted energy. It was all horribly painful but all he could do was try and stop its advancement, trying to keep his mind on his family and friends before he lost himself to the evil corruption.

Shu didn’t think he had done anything wrong and was just getting a snack, knowing where they were now thanks to Takeshi. He was fairly confident he’d be able to take some fruit whenever possible if they had enough and not be caught, but for now he was going to take what he wanted without worrying about being caught when it was all done in plain sight. Shaking his head he walked on out, bouncing after Takeshi as they made their way along the ship, “Af don’ know where frien’ was going”, he spoke up, or at least tried to with the apple in his mouth, “He go out! Aw I know”. Their friend would be somewhere since it was highly unlikely he would disappear off the ship, not unless he knew how to travel to the Otherworld through those portals of his too. That would be scary, knowing he could disappear into that place and possibly not return. He didn’t know how his abilities worked, but either way they were definitely useful to him and others. Looking up to Takeshi when he got an idea about T’charrl he tilted his head, finding it to be a pretty odd decision, “Uh huh, maybe! Can try”, he spoke simply, not wanting to question it too much or he might start drooling, “No bad, onry for you! You no rike big frien’”.

Yumi thought they really ought to get Viral looked at, even if it meant fessing up to Vegeta. He might change back on his own but there was no guarantee, and no knowing what may happen if he stayed this way for long. The Beastman however had no such desire to go and see their friend, he more sounded like he wanted to avoid Vegeta for now. Probably just as well, she wasn't wholly confident in any ideas she had right now. After all, her latest brilliant plan had caused Viral to change and she'd nearly been torn to bits as a result. So they would go to his room instead, she could always stay there for a bit just to make sure things weren't going to get any worse. "Yeah... We should probably avoid food for now... Better safe than sorry, right?" Yumi asked, smiling meekly. Shame, if he had eaten earlier he might not want that steak, albeit the hunger could be a result of him changing too. Rubbing at her face she glanced over at Viral, "I can stay with you, if you're okay with that. I don't know what I can do for you, but at the very least I can keep you from going anywhere until you feel comfortable to?" Anyway she could help she would seeing as she was the one at fault here. It wouldn't alleviate guilt even if it ended up helping Viral but it was better than leaving him alone and doing nothing. Reaching the elevator some ways away she paused at the door, pressing the call button before biting her lip, peering at her friend from the corner of her eyes. "Uh... I wanted to ask... How did you calm down? Before you never just stopped like that, did you stop yourself?"

Even for someone who spent so much time around Shu it was pretty hard to tell what the little guy was saying. Takeshi near reached out and yanked the apple free, but figured he'd best not, it would probably upset his brother. Furrowing his brow slightly he listened pretty intently just to make out the words, catching the gist of what was being said after a moment. "Hey, it's bad for other people too! He could be dangerous when he changes!" he said defensively, folding his arms over his chest stubbornly, "I mean, you shoulda seen the way he was looking at the Queen when he first changed, it was pretty scary! I m-mean it wasn't scary, but it was... Uh... Something wasn't right about it." If T'charrl did go and transform again he was moderately confident that he could handle it. Sure, their friend's appearance might unsettle him some, but it wouldn't be anything he hadn't seen before. Plus they had never actually been threatened before, and so long as T'charrl didn't change like he did on Kaesstra they were fine. Racing up the stairs to the upper floors, Takeshi stopped briefly for Shu to catch up, smiling a bit as they continued on. "I doubt he's changed, there's no reason he would. Like I said, he was probably feeling sick or something. We'll find our friend, same as always, probably sleeping in his bed. If he's asleep we put the fruit down and leave, if he's awake we see if he wants to play with us. Easy!"

Viral was not wholly prepared for seeing Vegeta even if he desperately had to, feeling he needed to keep away from him and let him not find out until much later. There was several reasons for this and Viral was not willing to say, namely involving Vegeta and his inability to get proper sleep when needed. To go to Vegeta just now would mean further worries for him and a lack of sleep too. He could handle the extra pain and struggle, it wasn’t a big deal and it wasn’t as if he hadn’t felt worse before. He didn’t want Yumi to feel guilty for getting him to train, it wasn’t as if he didn’t want to himself and probably would had eventually anyway with or without her. Keeping his head fairly low he looked over to her slightly, “I would prefer it…if my hinting wasn’t enough”, he spoke, looking away again, “If I still haven’t changed back by the time Vegeta checks on me, just say it was spontaneous…because it kind of was”. Even though it was the worst option when telling Vegeta what happened, he would rather Yumi didn’t get in trouble for something she couldn’t control. It was his own lack of control that had him set off on her like that and he deeply regretted it. Standing up fully again once he arrived at the elevator he let out a sigh, his ears twitching a little before he looked down at Yumi, looking embarrassed for a second before he looked away, “I’ll change back eventually! I’m not saying how…but I will eventually!”

The corruption was taking hold of him very quickly compared to before, becoming a lot more aggressive and determined. T’charrl didn’t know what to do other than what he thought was right, but it wasn’t working so well. Dropping down onto all his hands he tried to find the source of the corruption fast, hoping it wasn’t something he was actually picking up. Even in his pain there was something, sure not too far away. There was definitely negative energy, but the last time was because there was a great build-up of it. Maybe that kid had caused that accidentally, but unless there was someone else who was close by who was giving off fearful energy during his delicate time. Maybe that was the secret to some metamorphosis and how it must had been feared because everytime it happened the changed Kaesstrian would be a monster because of the projected emotions. The spirit inside was trying to help him but there was little that could be done, his only chance would be to find the one causing the corruption and stop the negative emotion or find balance. Turning towards the door he tried to get up but he was very quickly being taken over by it again, his body groaning as the corrupted muscle spread and began to massively bulk up his primary arms in a grotesque fashion with large glowing orbs forcing their way through his skin with spines that were becoming much more prominent. He was looking like the shadow of the mutated General only a lot worse, probably what might have happened to the General if he didn’t stop him.

Shu would like to eat the apple, but with his arms full of fruit it was a little difficult to do so when he had no free movement of his hands. Staring up at Takeshi he felt a little confused, staring at him curiously, “Ooh! Frien’ awways good! Deep down”, he spoke, wanting to make the gesture but was unable to. Even if T’charrl was scary at the start he seemed to have a tighter grip on his mind with each change, but then again if he managed to change back maybe he might lose that grip. It was a curious thought and if what Takeshi said was true then they would be in a lot of trouble, but then again he seemed to be fine when they were in the desert. Following after Takeshi in a hurry he squeaked a little as he bounced along, looking to him when he finally stopped, “Okay! Iffffbad, we fffind him quick! Okay? Yes pwease…”

Yumi was really torn right now between what they ought to be doing. Viral was obviously in pain, and there was a risk of things getting worse for all she knew. in that regard then their course of action ought to be obvious; Vegeta should be notified and he should take Viral into his care again. If not then there was no telling what may happen with the Beastman, or how his condition might deteriorate. On the other hand there was Viral's own desire not to be seen and staying out of their friend's view, if only for a short while. A bit of time may not hurt, but she definitely worried what a prolonged period could cause. So not only was she blaming herself for what had happened, but now Yumi found herself utterly devoid of how to best handle the situation. They had developed the ability for Viral to change back, albeit that was in a regular feline form. All these extra bits and bobs were hardly normal, and goodness knows if they complicated the process or not. Maybe she had no reason to worry, if Viral could actually revert on his own power then they would be okay. Heck, he'd calmed down on his own, hadn't he? She had to ask that since it was still confusing as to why his assault abruptly stopped like it had. "You still didn't answer my question," Yumi said, smiling slightly as the elevator opened. Stepping inside she moved against the wall to make room, ushering Viral in after her. "How did you calm down...? Is that what you and Vegeta were working on before?"

Takeshi knew that T'charrl was always good, or semi-good anyways, it wasn't a question of morality. Their friend just had a habit of transforming to look... Unsettling, so appearance wise he was anything but good. It had taken him a while thus far just to really be okay with the Kaesstrian's latest form so the notion of him changing again sort of threw him through a loop. So long as nothing agitated T'charrl he shouldn't go changing on them, that was the hope anyways. He supposed they would find out one way or another shortly as they were getting ever closer to their friend's room, where he ought to be if Takeshi had guessed right. "If it's bad then yeah, we'll find him and we'll help him," the older boy agreed with a nod, "I don't know how we'll help him... But we'll figure something out. Do you think him eating fruit helps him feel better? That it's not just for something to eat?" The sprite had said stuff about energy, maybe it wasn't just Ki and stuff like that he was referring to. Food gave you energy too, that guy could have meant that for all they knew. Seemed a bit odd though that the solution would be stuffing T'charrl full like a turkey, it didn't make a whole lot of sense. Now that they were in the proper hallway Takeshi picked up the pace slightly, putting on a smile for the Kaesstrian when they found him. His door was closed as usual, and it was nigh impossible to know if he was in there without actually checking. Rapping his knuckles on the frame lightly he leaned close, cupping his mouth with his free hand, "Hellooooo? T'charrl? You in there buddy? We got fruit!" he called, as if adding fruit would prompt their friend to reply quicker.

Viral couldn’t do anything about his pain, but all it was only a little bit worse than what it was previously. It wasn’t just at certain parts of his body, but instead it was everywhere and not exactly in the realm of proper control when the pills weren’t doing much anymore. He was still going to carry on and not let this get him down, especially when Yumi had a knack for telling when he wasn’t particularly happy even when he didn’t show it off. It was such a pain, especially the horns with their heavier nature and his not so hard a head in this form; they weren’t so bad when he was regular, they were smaller and not as prominent, but when transformed no matter what form it seemed they were going to be at their maximum size. Waiting for the elevator to arrive he gave a little glance to Yumi when she decided to try and get more out of him, still not particularly happy to answer her question, “I don’t need to tell you…I don’t want to tell you”, he spoke lowly, holding onto the edge of the elevator as he stepped in just to stay upright, leaning against the wall, “We were working on alternative methods…just normal things, no big deal! Still trying to figure it out…only just got the talking thing down…”

T’charrl was quickly losing it but there wasn’t much he could do when it felt his own body wanted to destroy him. There had to be a way to stop it but he was quickly losing it. Hissing and straining he moved his mutated arms around in front of him, trying to grasp at the orbs to ease the twisted energy but as it flowed into the orb into his head his eyes went wide, glowing a fierce purple. Soon he was snarling, his mind being pushed away for a more maddened mind-set. Straining, trying to stay in the right mind was impossible as he soon turned to quickly drooling poisonous saliva as his head started warping with his swelling body. The growths on his head were warping into large bony horn structures with large holes around his already large eyes giving them a void-like appearance with the glowing purple being projected, his mouth opening wide as his already large teeth grew even larger with a heavy jaw to carry them all in. He was looking more like a skeleton around his face and was growing into some twisted version of his largest form, spikes growing large out of his body and orbs appearing in random areas with the features he obtained becoming ever larger. As the weight of his body increased his limbs quickly gave in, his claws scratching on the floor in a desperate attempt to get back up.

Shu didn’t question his friend at all, knowing everyone who liked him was good on the inside. T’charrl liked him and they hanged out a lot, meaning he was good at heart. It didn’t matter how he looked, he knew that wasn’t an option when it came to himself especially, but Takeshi really did take his appearance to heart sometimes. Maybe it was just going to be one of those things; it wasn’t as if fears were an easy thing to get over and he knew that. Looking to Takeshi he gave a quick nod, feeling pretty confident that maybe they’ll be able to eventually, “Uh huh, mmmmaybe”, he spoke through the apple, looking down at the fruit, “Me fffeel be’er, so he do too? Can d’ry…” It wouldn’t be too hard feeding T’charrl up with lots of food to see if he’ll find the power to transform back, maybe even fill up all the orbs too with energy so they can get their wish faster. He didn’t want to take advantage of their friend though, so they had to be careful with him too. Staring at the door he tried to listen into it when Takeshi called into the room, not hearing anything that could be regarded as an answer, “…I don’ fink he in…”

Yumi put her hands up defensively and sighed, getting the point she was being much too nosy. She was curious about what progress Vegeta and Viral had made, the former didn't share anything of his work with her. Not that she'd probably be able to understand it, he tended not to simplify things when explaining them. So asking him was as much a dead end as asking Viral was. "Well... At least you've been making some progress, so that's good..." she muttered, smiling slightly, "Maybe it'll keep getting better from here, if you two work at it really hard. Maybe... When you've changed back and feel better we can go see Vegeta? See if he's gotten anywhere with that thing he was looking into?" Yumi honestly didn't recall what their friend had been researching now, she wasn't the most in-tune with her inner scientist in spite of being surrounded by them all her life. You'd think a girl would pick up on a few things growing up in a place like Capsule Corp. Leaning against the wall she lifted a hand, brushing hair behind her ear and letting out a soft yawn. "But that's later... Let's get you back to your room first." And if he was okay with being alone she'd go to hers as well. A nap didn't sound half bad at the moment, just something brief after the excitement she just had. The elevator came to a halt at last and a light ding sound signaled its arrival, as did the doors parting. Looking across at Viral she stepped out first, holding out a hand for him if he needed it.

T'charrl had to be in his room, otherwise they were going to have to search the whole ship for him. They would if need be, the whole purpose of their being out right now was to bring him fruit and spend time with their friend. Takeshi didn't particularly care for searching each and every room however and would like it if T'charrl was here. Giving the door a good knocking he then called through to try and get their friend to come out. No reply whatsoever, he couldn't even hear anyone moving around when he pressed his ear against the door. Frowning he stepped back a bit, tapping a foot in thought before glancing at Shu. "Maybe he's asleep? I know he doesn't sleep a ton, but this might be one of those times. He could not just be hearing us is all." They had come all the way here so he'd rather make doubly sure before wandering off again. Using the panel to the room he tried opening it, disappointed to find it locked. No big deal though since he knew the combination, going through the paces to put it in. With the last button click the door slid open, revealing the room beyond to them. Takeshi smiled as he stepped in through the doorway and looking towards the bed expecting to see the Kaesstrian. Instead he disappointingly found an empty bed, all made up as it had been probably all day. Nowhere in the room could he spot their friend, meaning now they had to go search around. "A you've gotta be kidding me..." Takeshi groaned, his shoulders slumping, "Alright... He's not in here, so where the hell is he?"

If she found out how Vegeta managed to get him to calm down then she would keep that over him forever and even if it was just Yumi he didn’t want anything like that happening. He had told Vegeta to keep his mouth shut about it until an alternative way had been found but other than that just now was way too embarrassing to let her know. Vegeta hadn’t bothered finding a new way yet because of the current workload and not to mention there was just way too many other important stuff to take care of like control and being able to use the forms successfully, making the other option something he unwillingly had to go through to change back for their convenience. “We shouldn’t go see Vegeta. He needs sleep! I would rather he slept than see me again”, he spoke up, lightly scratching at the elevator wall as it continued to move up, “He’s going to have to come to me before I see him again”. Once the elevator stopped he gave a quick look up at the little light before to the parting doors, grumbling when he was told to go first in a subtle fashion. Slowly moving around while trying to remain on his feet he soon gave up and headed around the open elevator door before simply giving up and dropping to all fours again. He didn’t like walking around like this, but practicing how to hasn’t been a primary concern quite yet. Looking back at her as he waited for her to leave his ear soon twitched, his eyes going down the corridor, “Let’s go quickly. The risk is really high right now…”

Shu was a little concerned, especially when he was supposed to be watched as well. Nobody had been watching him and he was alone for a long time, but this time he had been alone for an awfully long time. He didn’t want to assume the worst had happened and he was a big creature off somewhere, but then again even with that it shouldn’t be too bad either since he seemed a lot more docile since going through his latest change. Looking up to Takeshi he stared at him for a moment, his eyes slowly looking back to the room before Takeshi managed to open it. As expected it was completely empty, frowning a little behind his apple before he wandered in himself just to check. Sure enough there was no Kaesstrian and absolutely no sign of him ever coming here. Wandering over to his beside he dropped the fruit on top, munching at his apple quickly after before bouncing on over to Takeshi again, “…Maybe he’s still downstairs? Where was he last time we found him?”

T’charrl didn’t want to give into his fear, but he felt like he would die otherwise. The corruption spread fairly violently, his body fairly swollen with corrupted mass. He had grown fairly fat, his limbs extended to the side as they struggled to hold the weight despite their increased muscle mass and length. Just when it seemed that he was nearly completely overcome with his orbs darkening he reared up, letting out a sudden hissing roar before a mass of light smoke emerged from his mouth and silenced him, his body gradually slowing down. The smoke took a very light form soon after, changing into the Spirit with its arms outstretched towards T’charrl. It knew it couldn’t do much inside him anymore and instead had to try and visually stimulate him, even if he had never seen the Spirit before, “Stop! Don’t let him win!” it spoke up, looking around before it gathered what energy it could in a single claw before firing it into T’charrl’s maw, causing him to fall back to the floor with a thump, “Your friends, remember your friends? I can’t help much longer like this…”

Yumi sighed to herself but didn't argue any further, she knew Viral wasn't going to agree with her. She couldn't disagree either that Vegeta needed a break after working incessantly, they could afford him a few hours rest at least. She just hoped that the Beastman was going to be alright for those few hours without any real kind of assistance. She should be a bit more optimistic, so long as she was around nothing would go wrong. Hopefully that was the case since nobody else was likely available, not that Viral would accept anyone else. If only she knew what had happened to make him calm down back there, they could replicate it if by some awful chance her friend did go wild again. Exiting the elevator once it had stopped, Yumi glanced back at Viral and offered to help him walk only to see him go back to all fours. With a small smile she moved aside to make room for him to step out, taking a curious look around as he had. "Worried someone might see you?" she asked, glancing at the Beastman, "You'll be fine. Most everyone is probably busy. Plus we saw the boys and their friends go into the kitchen, so they're probably still eating. Don't worry so much." It wasn't like Viral was naked, that would be worse if he was spotted out like that. Though in a way she supposed he was, obviously right now he didn't have any clothes on. That made her giggle slightly, hiding a smile by turning away and starting back down the corridor. "To your room we go!"

Takeshi was so darn sure T'charrl was going to be in here yet there wasn't so much of a trace of their friend. If he wasn't in here then who knows where he could be, the ship was fairly big and would take a little while to search. Sighing he stepped further into the room, putting his hands on his hips as he walked back and forth. Where could their friend have gone if not for his room? It didn't seem like the Kaesstrian to wander aimlessly, so he'd think that the guy would have gone to somewhere he was familiar with. By that logic it had to be somewhere he'd been before, and the mess hall was already out of that, so was the training hall probably. Where else could he be then? "Eh...? Where we last found him...?" he asked, glancing over at Shu. It took a second for the gears to start turning, but when they did he quickly remembered the spot. "Oh yeah, that room! I don't know why he'd go there over his room, but I guess it's worth a check!" He'd take any single place over wandering aimlessly, albeit it might come to that if this turned out to be a bust as well. "Come on, no time to sit around, we gotta go find him and get him this fruit!" Feeling a bit more ready to get a move on, and feeling optimistic they might find their friend this time Takeshi took it upon himself to carry the fruit. Rather than scoop them up as Shu had though he searched around a bit before finding a clean pillow case, packing away the fruit inside and slinging said case over his shoulder, heading for the corridor again. "Let's go small fry, we've got a Kaesstrian to feed."

Being on such a quiet, empty ship was still taking a lot of getting used to. Before arriving on Earth there had always been chatter and sounds reverberating constantly as a large crew couldn't quite be silent. Now that they had a large ship with a small group however Haku was surprised by just how silent something this big could be, it was kind of weird. The only noise he could hear was the soft footfalls he was making while walking along, and the occasional sound of air being blown about from the vents. The silence was even stranger still since he had spent so much time in East City where even during the night it was lively and boisterous. The quiet might not be so bad had he someone to chat with, yet as the case tended to be he was left to his own devices. Hmph, he really didn't see the point of being brought along if he was going to be outcast like this. Not that it would be much different from when he was with the Saiyans, though at least then he had their banter and taunts, which by now was actually preferable to the silence. Maybe if he got bold later Haku would go find someone to do anything with, he didn't particularly care. Training hadn't been half bad honestly and he knew he could stand to get stronger, so he might look for someone willing to do that. The only one he'd sparred with really was T'charrl and they weren't what you would call friends, all because he might have been a bit of a jerk when they met. Not his fault, orders were orders. If he could change how that all went about he would but he couldn't, and weren't the good guys supposed to forgive and forget or whatever? So T'charrl should be cool with it by now, but he wasn't. Eh... He had nothing else going on so he might as well go see the alien, find out what he was up to. Hopefully he wasn't too busy.

Viral was not exactly wanting to accept any help from Yumi for just walking around, especially when he was so tall and had a heavy head at the moment. He was at least twelve feet tall and if Yumi thought she could help him walk with that size then she would soon find that she was sadly mistaken. If he could walk on all fours then he was going to have to do that to keep her from being squashed. Frowning as he kept his head low with the weight he gave a quick glance to Yumi, growling lowly, “I don’t know how long we were down there for so who knows where they are”, he spoke, letting out a grumble, “They’ll know I failed if they see me and I can’t let that happen. If Vegeta wakes up and decides to move around then that would be the worst outcome. I’m…not wanting to attack them either”. He had a lot of worries on his mind but was keeping his expression fairly neutral, not willing to show too much. He had a lot to think about and knew there was a variety of outcomes, but he had to rely on luck for the most part, “Great…can you shout louder? I don’t think everyone heard you…”

Shu didn’t know where T’charrl might be, but then again even with his suggestions he couldn’t remember where they had gone in the first place to find him. He just followed Takeshi along like a lost puppy and hoped he’d guide him around, but then again that was how he grew up and what he learned to do. He wasn’t an alpha or anything so he couldn’t make his own decisions with even the tournament not being his decision. Smiling as he gave Takeshi a little nod he seemed pleased that Takeshi remembered where their friend might be, but the smile didn’t mean that he wasn’t worried, “Maybe because, ummm…secret den?” he spoke up, not really wanting to say what he thought. He knew how scared Takeshi was of bugs so it would probably put him off going there. Finishing off his apple he wiped his face hastily, giving his fingers a quick lick as well before letting out a squeak as he backed away from Takeshi who proceeded to pack up all the fruit he had been carrying, “Ooh! Okay! We hurry!” Bouncing after Takeshi he kept close behind him, hoping he remembered the way to go and wasn’t just guessing.

Yumi figured the boys would still be eating, knowing their appetites. Especially with how many of them had been there, the amount of food they must have made probably dwarfed what she, Viral and Vegeta had. The man with her however was skeptical about that, probably more just being worried over being spotted than anything else. Takeshi aside she couldn't see anyone being rude, or stupid enough to comment on Viral's condition to his face. Kabocha maybe, though he seemed to learn when to keep his trap closed pretty quickly. To be fair he ought not have any issue then with anyone teasing him, albeit she doubted that was what he worried about really. Earlier she might have argued with Viral potentially attacking his friends, tell him there wasn't a chance of that happening whatsoever. After personally being on the receiving end of one of his outbursts however Yumi wasn't so confident that the others would be safe just yet. So they'd just keep moving, quick and quiet as so no one would spot the Beastman in his current state. Taking the lead again she called after Viral, smiling apologetically when he reprimanded her for being loud. "Sorry, didn't mean to. I'll be super quiet," she added, whispering the last bit. There wasn't much reason for them to talk anyways here, she just felt like having a bit of conversation rather than walking in silence. It might help Viral's sanity a bit too, all the more reason to keep the chatter going.

In spite of his normally horrid lack of a sense of direction Takeshi knew precisely where T'charrl was. Or he had a damn good guess going off of Shu's idea anyways, this could end up being a dead end for all they knew. Still it was worth a try as they had nothing else to go off of right now. It didn't make particularly a whole lot of sense, T'charrl going off to hide in a storage room. His bedroom was just as private, he could lock the door, goodness knows a bed was comfier than the floor and it was closer than the storage room too. "Secret den...? What, you think he's putting up a fort or something in there?" Takeshi asked, smirking amused, "Stacking up boxes and making himself a place to hide. I should feel bad for thinking that... But it's kinda funny." Hm, on a random note to himself he made sure to try doing that with Shu sometime. He'd seen kids do it on the television before, it was something they liked to do right? Since they needed more fun things to do as brothers he figured that would be good as the next idea. If they might be searching the entirety of the ship then they had best get going, hanging around here was only going to make it take even longer. Giving Shu a sense of urgency they hurried back the way they had come, needing to go all the way back towards the mess hall just to reach the storage room. "If he's not here then we're using the radio system to just make an announcement, we'll call him to us because I really don't wanna look around all day, you know?"

The decision to go and find T'charrl was a fairly easy one to make, there weren't a ton of people Haku could really go to. The issue came soon after he'd arrived at that decision and realized he hadn't the faintest idea where to find the Kaesstrian. Every time he'd seen the alien it had been with other people, or down in that storage room. T'charrl had to have a bedroom somewhere and was likely there, but he didn't have the foggiest idea where that might be. The chances of someone telling him were slim he figured so he'd have to figure that out on his own. Either that or venture a trip down to the storage room just to check. It would be weird to find T'charrl there, but since he didn't have any idea otherwise it wasn't exactly a waste of time. Now... Where was that room again? He knew what floor it was thanks to the markings on the walls; Each level of the ship had colored streaks running along the outer walls, and occasionally a number appeared in bold font to indicate the level you were currently on. It was on the first level, where he was, he just wasn't sure where exactly the room was. "Shouldn't be too tough... Only a few dozen rooms to check..." Haku mumbled, smiling exasperatedly, "If the morons that built it were half-intelligent then the door will be labelled too... Maybe..."

Viral knew he needed to learn how to keep his mind pieced together and was aware that he was supposed to be the one to concentrate on all of this, but it didn’t mean he liked having to do it in the slightest. He would rather this all went away and he was able to continue with life without all these faults and problems with him, his plans on what he might do in the future. There was a whole slew of things he could do if he was free from all of this, even beyond having to be around all of them as well, but it probably wasn’t going to happen at this rate. He was completely tied and that was all there was to it, just nothing was going to allow him to break free. If there were people out there who could help him they probably wouldn’t because of who and what he was, either that or they were probably dead. Keeping his head low he was left to his own thoughts, them all slowly vanishing as he looked up and along the corridor before to Yumi, staring at her as she walked as his ears twitched slightly.

Shu was pretty happy to follow after Takeshi, even if they might meet their friend in a less than desirable condition. He knew they’d be able to make him better and he’d probably be happy with that too, especially if he was upset by anything. Maybe the training had left him feeling a little down, but he didn’t know what might have happened to cause that. Looking up at Takeshi as he questioned the den he gave a quick nod, “Yeah! It’s fun, though! I have a secret den all the time…all my little space…” he spoke, feeling all happy and excited about his little hiding places; Takeshi would never be able to get into it or find where it was, but then again it was under his bed and Takeshi was probably too moody about going into a place like that. He always had a place to hide whenever he was feeling insecure. Hurrying after Takeshi was some feat for him after eating that apple, but the worst part about it was simply the hiccups that came with it, “Announcement! Radio? Might be-hic!-scary for him to-hic!-hear-hic!”

Since speaking only seemed to bother Viral, and make him even more paranoid Yumi opted to keep quiet for the duration of their walk. It worried her a little in doing so, leaving Viral with his thoughts like that. She couldn't possibly know what was going through his mind and couldn't keep from worrying that it might be negative, especially given what had just happened. The biggest reason she'd wanted to keep talking was to prevent the Beastman from slipping into a slump, but she wouldn't force him to talk. Come to think of it there wasn't an awful lot for them to discuss at the moment anyways, whatever was being said was simple rambling and not much more. She might try to reminisce or bring up more positive memories just to keep Viral's mood up but normally when she tried that it was just met with a whole lot of negativity. Sigh... Whatever had made him relax should really try now making him happy, but not too happy because that would be weird. Letting out a faint sigh she began to notice someone staring at her, figuring it was Viral since they were otherwise alone. Glancing over her shoulder curiously she raised an eyebrow, folding her hands behind her back. "What is it? Do I have something on my back?" she asked jokingly with a smile, "Or do you not want me to be quiet now?"

"You're telling me you have a secret den too...?" Takeshi asked, giving Shu a perplexed look, "Where? There's nowhere in our room you could hide or make a fort or anything. Or are you just imagining you have a den?" Odd little guy, who knew what he did when the older boy wasn't around. It was rare but there were periods when Shu was left alone for a bit and goodness knows what he did in that time. Though normally he wouldn't pay this a second thought it sort of worked to what he was thinking about before with the forts. "Hey Shu... How about you show me this little den next time we've got some free time? i want to see it." Who knows what he was referring to as a den, probably hiding in the closet or something. The more they went along the more bothersome Takeshi was finding the sack of fruit to be. In a bit of hindsight he really shouldn't have used something made of cloth for fruit, juices were now leaking a bit and making the case damp, and more annoyingly sticking to his back as a result. Scowling at the annoyance he adjusted the bag, nearly dragging it along now as he held it at his side instead. Who in the world was hiccuping? Taking a glance behind him he managed to just catch Shu bounce a bit with a hiccup, making Takeshi snicker under his breath as he tried to hide it. "Yeah, it might scare him, good point. Alright then, in that case we'll just look around until we find him, no big deal."

Storage, storage. Nope, none of these were storage. There were utility rooms, supply rooms and a few housing areas but no storage room thus far. "Stupid ships... I never got why they don't have maps..." Haku grumbled, scuffing his shoe along the linoleum floor in annoyance. Honestly, how hard could it be to find this one room when he had been there before. It would be easier if the damn ship wasn't so same-y too, every inch of the corridors looked practically the same. They really needed to put something in these to help you find your way, either that or he just had to spend more time wandering around to remember the layout. Hm, finding T'charrl wouldn't be such a chore if he had energy to trace like a normal Saiyan. The alien had energy alright but it wasn't Ki, at least not wholly Ki. Haku swore when they spared he had felt some from the Kaesstrian but it was way too little to be all of his energy. These Princes made some weird friends alright, Beastmen and some alien bug person. Even the King's military didn't have such weirdos, but that was probably due to the whole 'Saiyan supremacy' ideal he tried shoving down everyone's throats.

Viral remained fairly silent as Yumi did, his eyes soon staring at her as he was brought into a trance of some kind. There was nothing there to distract him and he was done thinking silently about everything he could do, his mind going blank for just that one second when he noticed Yumi still there with him. As if he had completely forgotten he stared at her for a moment, his ears going back slightly before he slowed down, his footsteps a lot more silent right up until Yumi suddenly spoke up. Ears twitching back into position he gasped a little, looking down at his paws for a second before heaving his head back into attention to Yumi, “What…? What are you saying? I said nothing…” he spoke before letting out an abrupt snarl only to shake his head out of it. He didn’t know what caused him to do that, especially to Yumi. He was trying to shake it off otherwise, his head not feeling so hot after that.

Shu didn’t know how to get rid of the hiccups, but when they did happen he just let them ride and wait for them to go away again, whenever that is. Getting on with things he was quite happy to go along with Takeshi as he was, thinking about his little hiding place in the meantime. He was a little surprised that nobody else actually had one other than him and apparently T’charrl too, seeing how it was something he thought everybody had. Maybe Takeshi did have a place he liked to hide away in but wasn’t saying for fear that he wouldn’t be seen as brave, but it didn’t matter to him. Hurrying along after Takeshi he hiccupped away, just wondering when they’d go away before Takeshi asked about his hiding place, “No! No show, you no-hic!-no see my place!” he spoke up, defending it pretty quickly. If Takeshi was going to try and find his hiding place then he was going to need to search for it himself. Bouncing along after Takeshi he continued to hiccup, taking it in his stride, “Okay! Hope he is-hic!-okay…”

The Spirit was doing as much as it could to help T’charrl, but there was only so much it could do while it was able. There was a lot of negative energy in him and it was warping his appearance greatly, looking positively evil and grotesque in appearance. If anybody saw him there was going to be trouble, but then again if anybody saw him as a monster and not as T’charrl then everyone was going to be in trouble. The ship wasn’t the type of ship to get damaged by a power like T’charrl, it was obvious even to the Spirit that it was meant to take extremely high energy impacts as evident by the energy ‘residue’ that remained on the walls all over the place that T’charrl was constantly taking in. Trying to keep T’charrl focused was proving very difficult, especially when the Spirit wasn’t in that circle of friends despite being attached to him, “Please…just hang in there. Your friends are always there for you…” it spoke, continuing to assault T’charrl with energy to keep his body down.

Yumi had opted for a bout of silence for their walk seeing as Viral wanted to remain secretive. It wasn't very fun however walking in silence, and after a while she had the uncanny feeling that someone was staring her down. Unable then to maintain her vow of silence she glanced back at Viral and had to ask if he was staring, which obviously he was, no one else was present. She smiled in amusement at his reply right up until he snarled at her, and it wasn't a playful snarl by the sounds of it. That made her eyes widen in surprise for a moment as she stopped in her tracks, staring at the Beastman uncertainly. Was he still a threat, even after he had calmed down? Maybe she was taking this a bit too lightly still, she wanted to think the worst had passed after the initial outburst but that may not be the case. Feeling a bit on edge she turned around completely, facing Viral with a tentative smile. "I really think we need to go see Vegeta. I know you don't want to bother him, but he can at least give you something to keep you calm for a while. I don't know what I can do for you really..." Compared to their genius of a friend there wasn't much of anything she could offer. He had the medicine and the know how to get Viral settled, all she could do was talk and hope her words got through. Finding herself becoming distressed again, Yumi placed a hand on her chest as she turned back, breathing deeply for a brief moment to relax before walking along once more. "Or... If we're going to your room then I have to stay with you, no questions. I'm sorry, but I really think you need to be watched right now."

Shu hiccuping incessantly was kind of funny to listen, the little guy had no idea how to help himself either. After getting a few good chuckles out of it Takeshi had just let it go on, still smiling about his brother's slight misfortune. That's what he got for inhaling an apple he supposed, though he'd never gotten hiccups from one before which was weird. Leave it to Shu to do the impossible. Curious now too about this hiding spot of his sibling's he had to try seeing it at some point; Shu had somewhere he didn't know about and that sort of bothered him. The fact that Shu denied him only made Takeshi want to see it even more, building up in his mind's eye this grand hiding spot. "T'charrl is gonna be fine, don't worry. He was probably just nervous after training and wanted to relax, that's all. I mean how often does he fight Saiyans?" Well, pretty often since he spent his time with them, but that was beside the point. "By the way, if you hold your breath for a few seconds you'll stop hiccuping," he added, glancing back with a smile, "Just saying. Either that or you can try drinking water, though we don't really have any with us." No big deal, hiccups were hardly life threatening and would go away on their own eventually. Shu would just have to put up with them for a bit is all, unless he opted to scare his little brother of them.

With all this walking around Takeshi really hoped they found the right storage room. There were a few on the ship and none were really close to one another, so if this was the wrong one they had a small hike ahead of them. And with a soggy pillow case of fruit on his back he had very little desire to go elsewhere at the moment. "Stop number two, here at last," he said, setting the fruit down beside the door. Just one look at the panel and he became rather optimistic T'charrl was inside the room, the door was locked. A lot of the rooms were locked by default just because they weren't in use, but storage rooms were generally left open. The only reason that one might have been locked then, he surmised, was someone was hiding inside. Confident they had found their friend now Takeshi stepped up to the panel and cycled through the menus to override the lock, using his free hand to knock on the door. "T'charrl, I know you're in there buddy! Shu and I are coming in with fruit!" he called, finishing his work on the panel. Taking a step back he peered in as the doors opened, letting the light from the hallway illuminate the room. Having been looking at the floor he noticed something peculiar right away, an oddly bloated looking limb was fairly close to the entrance. Coupled with what sounded like ragged breathing and he just knew something wasn't right. Slowly he lifted his eyes up, taking in what he could only describe as a horrific-bug-monster-thing, nightmare fuel basically. Staring at it for a moment he couldn't so much as budge, basically frozen by fear. At last he verbally reacted to it with a shout of fright before he fell backwards, passing out promptly and fainting as he fell back into the hallway with a thud.

Okay, this was good. Haku was beginning to recognize some of these rooms now so he had to be getting close. Still would be awfully nice to have some general sense of direction, a map or some signs, anything. Gods knew if his voice would be heard or not but later on he was going to find the guy in charge and complain about this. Vegeta right? Like the former King and Prince, weird that he knew someone related to those two. It had made him wonder once or twice if there were any descendants of Goku on here as well, that would certainly give the King reason to worry. None that he could tell though, the only other Saiyans were the Princes and some cut and dry soldiers. Soldiers that could probably kick his butt all things considered, but regular soldiers nonetheless. Not much further now if he remembered right, and with any luck he'd find T'charrl sitting around. Haku was not hurried whatsoever in his trip down here thus far, but his pace was bound to change once he heard someone shouting in fear. It was kind of freaky to hear and made him stop at first, looking around utterly confused for the source. It hadn't sounded all that far off, and unless he was mistaken it sounded oddly a lot like Takeshi. Oh great, what the hell was on board that was making one of the Princes freak out? Swallowing nervously he glanced back at the empty hallway, debating on turning back and leaving whatever was ahead well alone. If he did that though and something happened he'd be ostracized even further, probably sent out of an air lock into space. Groaning he began running in the direction of the scream then, feeling his skin crawling in anticipation of something nasty.
