"I can sympathize with the guy there. There's been a few times where I felt like I couldn't fight or do anything, and it sucks. You just feel so useless and it makes you really bummed, I guess that's how Viral must feel." That was how he'd felt for a good portion of their time stuck with their father. Takeshi had wanted so desperately to free his brother, even if they still had to remain under their dad's overbearing self. Viral too for that matter, even if life then had preoccupied him a bit to the point where the Beastman had become an occasional thought. Jeez, did that upset the guy too? Viral didn't seem to care for him but maybe he had a bigger impact than he thought. Looking over at Shu he smiled slightly, giving a shake of his head before letting out a sigh, "Nah, we shouldn't bother Vegeta, he's got a lot to worry about... Where the hell does dad work into all of this? Kind of random there squirt," Takeshi said, smiling faintly as he shrugged, "If father was nearby... I'd fight him, yeah. But it wouldn't be a friendly sparring match, you know? After all he did some pretty crappy stuff to us. Speaking of which..." It was just him and Shu now, and things were relatively relaxed at least for them. The topic of Shu's problems was one that was a bit taboo, but the longer they put off discussing it the worse things might become. Looking at the younger boy he reached over, putting an arm around his shoulders and giving his hair a gentle ruffle. "Let's talk about it. I know you don't want to but we've gotta sooner or later. Still been having trouble sleeping, yeah?" Yumi was fair down about Viral's condition, but she wasn't going to bring those problems here with her. It wouldn't be fair to T'charrl if she started lamenting about her friend, especially not when he seemed to be strung up a bit himself. There had been a lot going on back on Kaesstra from her understanding, and she wondered whether or not that may be the cause of her friend's unease right now. It was practically pouring off of him at this point, if the sensation were any stronger she could probably smell it. Hearing T'charrl out she frowned as he called himself stupid, already not liking how he was thinking. "Okay, for starters you're not stupid, don't ever say that. Stupid people don't learn an alien language and become fluent in a month, or learn how to do things that no one of their kind has ever done before. And all that aside you're a bright kid, so don't call yourself dumb." She was a little annoyed, more at the fact he was putting himself down than anything. Putting her hands on her hips she tilted her head to the side some, biting her lip for a second as she thought about his question. "I don't know... Do you want to get rid of them? Look... We can't tell you what you do and don't want, but we can try and help you figure it out. I think you're plenty strong on your own, but at the same time you've shown you can control the power most of the time. A little more work and it'll be like second nature to you, and then you'll be able to use it as easily as we use Ki." She didn't know the particulars of what T'charrl was talking about, nor that he could even rid himself of the powers; what would happen to him anyways if he got rid of the spirit? Would he be okay after that? "As for the General..." Yumi continued, smiling as she walked over and, getting on her toes, reached up and gave T'charrl's head a pat, "You're a good kid like I said, and no power is going to change that. You'll always do what's right, I know you will, so no, you're not as bad as him. You're leagues better than he is."
