"Earned? By inheriting it, right? You're so young I don't expect much more out of you, but you think you earned your power? How do you imagine your family came into power all those years ago, hm? Generations before your mother they beat another group, another family, another clan. They [i]killed[/i] them for the right to rule, and now you're in power. It is okay that your family has done such a thing, but for someone else to assume power it's terrible, yes? Do you see how flawed your logic is child? The only person who earns the right to rule is the one who can best protect their people and serve them. Without this energy you took from me you aren't capable of that, nor is your mother or father. I had the key to our people's security, and our race's prosperity and you stole it from me. And if you must know I did not torture you to try stealing your power, that would have been impossible. The torture was to test what the power could do, to see the resilience it granted someone. I've seen with my own eyes what a difference it makes, how strong a ruler I could have been with it. You see it as wrong because it's yours, and by the same logic no one else should have it. Isn't what I'm doing then less selfish than you, who refuses to relinquish his power or position?" T'charrl could think his position was justified and in the right all he wanted, but there were two sides to every coin. Someone had died for his family to come into power, as was the natural progression of things. It was obvious by his own ability to start a civil war and have it run for so long that Eslaria couldn't possibly defend their people from another kingdom, nor could her son for that matter. He needed to be the one at the helm, not them. Smiling amused as the Prince was quite annoyed with him at this point Garesh chuckled again, at last going to lie down on the bed in his cell. "They wouldn't know all of my hideouts, only my men would. I've given you enough to work with boy, now leave. I'm missing my nap because of all of your prattling."

Takeshi wasn't sure what to do when they got back, only that he wasn't super tired yet and willing to play a little. Shu would be more than fine with whatever he picked most likely but he still wanted to make sure it was something good. "Really, you're up for watching movies? Well alright then, we'll see what we have when we get back," he said with a smile, "Don't be too upset if we can't find anything good though. If you're going to watch a movie I want to make sure it's worthwhile." As if he even knew what any of them would be, he'd probably have to ask for someone else's opinions. Saying his world sucked wasn't necessarily referring to the current status quo, but where he had been and what he'd done. Far be it from him to correct Shu though and possibly get the little guy down, he seemed to be getting in a good mood now. Rolling his eyes amused Takeshi gave a nod, reaching out and ruffling his brother's hair, "Fine, I'll show you all sorts of stuff. I'll make sure you get to try all the fun things there is to do, and we'll visit all sorts of places when we get back to Earth. Hell, I'll even take you to a playground, I bet you'd like that..." He'd have kept talking from there had his scouter not beeped to life then, prompting Takeshi to frown in confusion as he listened in; confusion turned to shock, then worry as he looked down at Shu. How had Viral been attacked, and by what? "Shit... T'charrl! We've gotta go, Viral's hurt!" he called, grabbing Shu's arm and poking his head in the door, "I swear, if you had anything to do with this you creep I'll kill you, I don't care what the Queen says."

Getting Viral into the tank hadn't been an easy matter, certainly not with energy sparking off him and the occasional thrash. With a little fighting Vegeta and Yumi had managed to get the Beastman into healing tank, where at the very least he'd be kept relatively healthy for the time being. With his condition as bad as it was however they needed to get Viral cured, no more delays or meandering around; Namek was somewhere out there, and while they may not have the exact location it needed to be found yesterday. Vegeta would do what he could for the time being, implanting the cells intravenously in order to try and get the recovery process started. It wouldn't heal his friend and he knew that, but it was all that could be done for the time being. Sitting in the room with the healing tanks he glanced over at Viral's sleeping form, letting out a weary sigh as he ran a hand through his hair. As of right now the crew in the cabin were checking maps and coordinates, trying to triangulate wherever Namek might be. None of them had ever been there and evidently no one present had any semblance of an idea where they might find it. Bleak was a fair way to describe the situation at current, and Vegeta worried it would only get worse the longer they were stuck wandering about aimlessly. 

Man, what a crappy way to leave Kaesstra. They had just been getting close to helping out T'charrl too when this happened, the timing really couldn't have been worse. Takeshi was honestly expecting their friend to stay back and sort his own business out, but instead the guy came along with them to Namek. Or... They would be going to Namek if they had any idea whatsoever of where it might be. They had to leave in a rush since Viral's condition had gotten worse, but now that they were actually space bound they were made to face the fact they hadn't the faintest idea even where to go. If they couldn't get Viral help soon... Well, Vegeta hadn't been overly optimistic when discussing their friend's case with everyone. Whatever had happened to him before they left it did some damage and triggered something, something that worried Vegeta quite a bit. "Dammit... He'd better not die... He can't die..." Takeshi mumbled, frowning as he leaned forward and laid his arms over his lap, "I still have to fight him... He'd better not do something selfish and die on us..." How were they even going to help him though? They were in space but that was as far as they were getting, no one knew where the place they had to be was. Hopefully Vegeta had a plan B, otherwise things might get really crappy really fast.
