Sasha wasn't so naive as to think everything would work out perfectly, but she could at least be optimistic. No one wanted to be subjected to the Saiyan rule, save for the few who stood to benefit off of it, so she figured once free people would jump at the chance to govern themselves. Sure, the transition may not always be the most smooth or even peaceful but surely having their own kind ruling was better than Yamate? "It could be a group of people too though, instead of just one King. I've been on worlds where they have groups leading, and people work together to lead their people. I guess that would be our ideal turnout but you can never know, yeah?" Given the nature of Saiyans she was concerned someone was going to vie for power right away, and while she was confident Korian wouldn't do such a thing she couldn't say the same for other men of his caliber; Elites were always egotistical and arrogant in her experience, a factor perhaps common amongst the entire race. Even so, some were more so than others and it was those few she figured would fight over the throne. Doubtful they could come to a peaceful agreement either there would certainly need to be some intervention, lest the Saiyans end up exactly where they had started. With Kiton all seen to, Sasha began to pack away the medical supplies, throwing the used bits into a waste bin before placing the kit back in its container. "No, we're not after your power. However strong you are doesn't concern us, we need people of all backgrounds and skills if we're to beat the King. And by questionable I mean exactly that. We've taken former enemies, we've taken mercenaries wanting to make a change, we've even welcomed a few criminals into our ranks. Korian isn't crazy about it, but as far as he's concerned if you want to take down the Saiyans then you're welcome to join us. So... Where do you stand on it?" Takeshi immediately regretted his decision of going in for an attack, and for putting Shu in imminent danger. If it were just him maybe he could focus on deflecting this blast, or knocking it astray, but with his brother in tow he was more focused on just keeping the little guy safe. Putting out as much Ki as he could in such a short period he struggled to stave off the attack, finding himself being pushed slightly as he fought against the much more powerful blast coming their way. "Damn it... Damn it!" he grumbled, putting yet more energy into his own attack only to see little change. The blast was getting dangerously close to them, and yet thanks to some intervention from T'charrl they managed to hold it back, but only just. Even with the three of them firing it was getting nearer and nearer, this thing really wanted them dead. Deliberating momentarily on throwing Shu out of the way Takeshi gasped as the struggle suddenly went in their favor, thanks entirely to the attacks on Viral's part. He only learned of that after the fact of course, initially confused as the monster suddenly lifted its head away, the beam tearing across the ground before ultimately going skyward, exploding well overhead and yet still knocking rocks and small plants away from the concussive blast. Jeez, if that hit them they'd have been totally dead, such a stupid move on his part. To add to the monster getting a nasty blow to its skull, Shu, Takeshi and T'charrl's energy all found its way to its target, slamming into the monsters chest and splitting to either side as it burned against its flesh; the energy itself forked off in two directions, tearing across the ground and finally blowing up on either side of the monster some half a kilometer away. When all was said and done the monster definitely looked worse for wear, blood leaking down over its face and a noticeable wound on its body, bleeding fair well too. Even with these injuries sustained however it still wasn't dead, letting out a furious roar as it fell forward slightly, catching itself with its talons. Four eyes all turned up to Viral at once, glaring at him as the monster shook its head and reached up, swatting at the Beastman like a gnat as it tried to rid itself of its attacker. Missing its attack the creature roared, the roar turning into a muffled gargle as Ricken had come in and slammed his knee into its throat, winding and promptly silencing the creature. Vegeta was quick to follow after as well, driving his shoulder and side into its mouth and knocking its head violently to the right, with Yumi finally coming from above, landing with both feet on the edge of its snout and breaking a few teeth in the process. At this point the monster was having trouble staying upright, swaying unsteadily as it tried to keep itself right with its talons. There was slight chance the creature may be dying now, its movements sluggish and only the occasional growl escaping its lips. With eyes unfocused it looked around at the group before it, wanting desperately to kill them all but struggling to find the strength to do so. It wasn't quite through yet, it could try one last thing to kill these things or die trying in the process. For a moment the monster came to an absolute standstill, not even appearing to breath as it stared straight ahead at nothingness. Then, a slight hissing sound could be heard, and a crack in its hide appeared on the side of its head, then another on its body, and soon more were following until the entire skin seemed to be breaking away. With a slight glow and a sudden spike of energy the skin looked to split away, viscous material sticking to the skin as it dropped to the ground all around it, and the creatures arms followed suit. As everything dropped off of the beast yet another creature seemed to be inside, this one similar enough yet having a deep red skin, clearly scaled with sharp thorn-like protrusions sticking off of it in every which direction. In place of where its arms had been there were now more tendrils on its body as well, though these were far larger than before, three on each side with a set of five talons on the end of each. The frill on its head remained, though the head itself became more slender and serpent-like in appearance; six eyes adorned its face, yet the two that had been put out before remained as such, and there was definitely notable damage done to its new form, with its face a bit crushed and blood already leaking out of wounds. Unbelievable, how many times did they have to fight this thing? This was three iterations of the same creature now and yet somehow it seemed rejuvenated almost in this latest form, where all of them were beginning to grow tired. They never had a battle of endurance like this, fights were usually quick and far simpler than contending with such a monster. Vegeta was at a loss, especially since he was concerned there would be something new to this beast. At first it had been passive, using tendrils to attack, then it became far bulkier and more aggressive with its plated skin. By all rights this iteration looked less intimidating, even with the six arms, yet he couldn't quite feel at ease. No doubt it would be more sporadic in this form, and in no short order he would have that suspicion confirmed. Looking up at the monster his eyes met its, and with a sudden lurching movement it let out a screech, reaching out and swiping at him with one of its talons. Dashing out of the reach Vegeta had to move yet again when he was targeted a second time, ducking underneath one of the sharp limbs. A third came his way but it was deflected courtesy of Haku of all people, blasting it and making the monster withdraw its arm. That was hardly all it had though as it targeted Haku and Yumi both next, taking swings at them as they were forced to move around incessantly to avoid. "We have to kill it, now! One last push, give it all you've got!"
