Takeshi was having a [i]really[/i] hard time not walloping the General, only finally staying back because Shu was in the room too. Seriously, where did a jerk in his position get the idea he could talk like that? He had no power and he'd been beaten, at this point it was just sad he was trying to act like a hotshot. Of course in his usual single-mindedness he didn't consider even for a second that the General may be trying to instigate him, or Shu for that matter. Glaring at the guy one last time he looked over to his brother as he was teased. bristling angrily before forcing himself to walk back to the door. It was one thing to talk about him like that, but bringing Shu or his friends into it was totally unacceptable. Reaching out and putting a hand on the younger boy's shoulder he forced a smile, shaking his head before gesturing over his shoulder to the hall. "He's not worth it, he's just some has-been that likes his own voice too much. Come on, let's wait in the hall." They weren't going to be far at all really, just on the other side of the door. If Takeshi had to keep looking at the General's sorry excuse for a mug though he'd probably snap again, so it was best for everyone that he step out. Well he'd let Shu do as he pleased, but Takeshi was stepping out to relax before he knocked some heads in.

"Ah... So you've got questions then? And please, tell me why I would ever bother sharing any information with you," Garesh asked, his smile waning as he looked at T'charrl sternly. "I certainly have no allegiance to you, nor do I have any desire to help you. My position remains the same whether I share the information or not, only you benefit from it. And our people remain under your family's singular rule, nothing changes for the better, so I see no reason to divulge anything to you." Shaking his head the General sat back down on his bed, letting out a yawn of boredom before he rubbed his face against his shoulder. Besides, even if he did wish to answer all of that he truly did not have it all on hand right now, much of what he knew was through the notes of his subordinates. If T'charrl truly wished to learn about what he'd done then he would chase after his men, not him. "I'll tell you what though... You and your friends did give me a little entertainment, so I suppose I should be generous and reward you for that much," Garesh continued, smiling as he leaned forward some, "You ask why I tried to take control of the spirit? Why I would seek more power to further my own goals? Honestly boy I knew you were not that bright but come on, the answer is right there. I took the power because it was needed, that's all. With that power I would stand unopposed, and our people could at last be truly united, and we could be rid of your damned lineage. As for where I took it from..." Garesh chuckled, shaking his head as he leaned back against the wall once more, "Read my notes, it's bound to be in there somewhere. You can read, can't you?"

Vegeta debated for a while bringing a vial with him, but ultimately decided against it. While highly unlikely Viral would have an immediate reaction to the cure there was always a chance for the unexpected, so best to take as many precautions as possible. At any rate fetching the Beastman wasn't the only thing he had in mind, there was the matter of recalling the brothers and T'charrl too. What a bothersome bunch, clearly going out past the instilled curfew in spite of his saying earlier. Yes they had informed him of their reason, going to see the General, but it could wait until tomorrow too, it wasn't as if the man was going anywhere. The curfew was more of a precaution than anything too, just to be safe in a potentially hostile environment. As he neared the exit of the ship Vegeta figured he might as well call them, have them start heading back and hopefully see them here before long. Before he had the chance to patch through to anyone something came in on his end, what he could only describe as heavy breathing coupled with the sound of someone grunting and being struck. It was much too deep to be either of the boys, or T'charrl for that matter, so then it must have been... "Viral!" Cursing beneath his breath Vegeta broke into a run, heading for the exit as swiftly as he could.

For someone who was scarcely able to stand Viral was putting up a fair defense against the Kaesstrians; lethal force was out of the question, and injuring their mark would be detrimental, so that played a small part in the difficulties too. With one man out of the fight for a moment trying to recover it fell to only two to battle the Beastman, and that didn't make their odds any better really. In an effort to try and tackle their target to the ground one of the soldiers was instead met with a heavy swing to the side of his head, tumbling off to the right and rolling across the ground in a daze. The leader had managed to avoid getting struck, trying to return the favor and land a hard punch into Viral's chest to wind him and get him off guard. If that was blocked then he'd use his other two arms to try and do the same, it was one nice thing of having four of them. "Just come with us quietly damn you," he hissed, taking a swing at Viral, "Stop resisting, it's useless."
