It was really hard to say what the state of the universe was exactly, if only because Sasha didn't know. The portions of it she had been to were all under Saiyan control to varying degrees, and some were most certainly worse off than others. There had been aspects of the universe too though, like Uuonoe, that were peaceful for the most part, if only playing a passive role in the war. The entire goal of the rebellion she supposed was to make more worlds like that, and rather than impose some rule let everyone handle their own affairs. It could be risky, as Kiton pointed out, there was always the chance of something bad happening, but they would cross that bridge when they got to it. "Me and Ricken, the other one that looks like me, we're not really warriors. At least we weren't originally, that's only since we joined the rebellion. See... Our people were attacked by the Saiyans and we were in pretty lousy shape because of it. To make matters worse Ricken was always really sick, and when the Saiyans had attacked we lost pretty much all access to the medicine he needed. He'd probably have died if the rebels hadn't shown up, and thanks to them my brother was saved. So you can kind of understand why we're siding with them, and they really are good people." She might be a bit biased perhaps, but Sasha was every bit as loyal to the rebellion as Ricken was, and neither of them would ever doubt what they were doing. Their goal was the greater good, on that they both agreed, and they would do everything they could to help that along. A fair massive spike in energy brought her attention towards the battle again, frowning concerned as she finally went into the cockpit of the shuttle, "Of course not, our actual ship is in orbit. We took this down just to look for some Namekians to talk to, we didn't expect this." she explained, taking a seat once again at the controls, "Damn it... I wish this had weapons..." "Of course the eyes are a problem, everything about it is a problem!" Vegeta quipped, frowning as he sent another hapless Ki blast at the monster's side, "Just... Give me a minute! I'll come up with something!" There had to be a plan of attack for them, something they could do to really deal some damage. Blasts didn't appear to work unless done repeatedly in a single spot, and without knowing its vital points at best they could only wound the beast. Attacking its head wouldn't work evidently, as shown by T'charrl's attempts. Not only did the monster shield itself when the Kaesstrian tried to stab it but now it was using the frills to avoid the energy blasts; not everything was hopeless however as things took an interesting turn. Expecting nothing to come of T'charrl's attacks Vegeta's brow furrowed as the monster let out a pained roar, glancing up curiously to see what it was. As the frills folded back and the monster flailed he caught sight of the flesh that had been hit, noting how it appeared to be smoldering and sizzling even after the impact. Their Ki had managed to create abrasions and faint burns, but T'charrl's looked to almost boil it. "T'charrl! I need you to hit that with as much energy as you can! Try and spread out the damage!" Vegeta said, glancing over then at Yumi and Ricken, "You two! Whatever spots he exposes I need you both to attack, try piercing its skin and drawing as much blood as possible. It won't be a vital hit but it can bleed out, and we'll make it if we have to. Viral-" Turning to look at the Beastman, Vegeta froze where he was, face paling considerably as he saw what was happening. No... No no no, why was he changing, why here? Why now? Ignoring his own plan for the moment he rushed down to his friend's side, landing a meter or so away and hurrying over, "Viral! Viral you have to relax!" Takeshi didn't know what Vegeta was shouting about until he looked down, eyes widening seeing Viral's twisted form. Well crap, that was a fine time for him to go and change into a fricken monster. The one guy who'd managed to do some serious damage was probably out of the fight now, just when they had something like a plan finally coming together. Cussing beneath his breath the Saiyan looked back at the monster, watching it warily as it seemed to be looking between everyone for a target. "Shu... Think you can go help Viral out? I don't think things are going to be safe here, I'd rather you go with him somewhere else," Takeshi mumbled, glancing back with a slight smile, "We've almost got this figured out anyways, by the time you get somewhere to rest we'll be done." They did have a plan, right? What Vegeta had been saying sounded like a semblance of one, and given the guy's track record they ought to be okay. Moving to get Shu off of his back Takeshi froze when the monster let out another roar, glancing back confused as he didn't think anyone was hitting it, not after T'charrl's blasts anyways. It had covered itself up with its frills again and all six arms were dropped to the ground, it looked like it was righting itself for some reason. Out of the opening of the frills Takeshi noticed an odd glow coming out, frowning before letting out an audible curse when he saw a mass of energy gathered in the monster's mouth. But why was it aiming straight up? The creature then clamped its mouth down on the energy, a really confusing thing to do until it then reopened it, the energy coming out in a wide concussive blast that was really quickly spreading out. Eyes widening in shock Takeshi grabbed hold of Shu, turning his back to the blast and holding his brother firmly against himself to try and shield him. Yumi was ready to get to putting Vegeta's plan into action when the monster covered itself up, wondering if maybe it was going to retreat from the fight. As it happened it was doing anything but, and not a single person could have expected what was to come. Watching in a mixture of awe and worry as its energy began to build she gasped when it was suddenly released, seeing no way whatsoever they could avoid being hit. With nowhere to run all she could do was raise her arms to shield her face and lift her legs, yelling as the concussive wave hit her first and sent her flying backwards, easily knocking her off guard. Slamming then into a rocky outcropping she was knocked clean through, the formation giving way as it was shattered and debris flew all over the place. Yumi finally came to a rest some good few dozen meters from where she had started, landing in the ground and skidding before finally stopping in the water, bouncing on the surface once before coming to float on top. She wasn't dead, far from it, but most certainly sore and now bleeding from the hits and debris. Letting out a groan she opened up her eyes, staring out bewildered as to where that attack had come from. It was so sudden and unexpected, how did it gather that much power? From here she could hardly see anything but the area looked quite barren from before, rocks still falling from the air as dust clouds began to settle. Was everyone okay? She was too dazed to pick up energy, hopefully everyone was alright. Takeshi didn't know what in the world happened, only that it felt like he was hit by a truck and then subsequently run over by it. His ears rang as he finally settled, opening his eyes and looking around blearily from where they had landed. He didn't recognize this spot, and it was a bit difficult to see much of anything with blood dripping down over one of his eyes. Wincing as he then began to feel just how banged up he was the older boy glanced down at Shu, relieved to find that comparatively the little guy was unharmed. Heh, he wished he could say the same for himself. Aside from the gash on his forehead he could feel the back of his left leg bleeding, and a glance back showed him a bit of debris was imbedded in his calf. On top of that his arms were all scraped up and bloodied too from sliding across the ground, having miraculously kept Shu from hitting the dirt in all of that chaos. Chuckling wearily the older boy let go of his brother, using his arms to support himself as he managed a small smile. "Hey squirt... You okay...?" he asked, swaying slightly as he felt lightheaded, "Do... Do you need help?" No one really had seen that coming, how could they? Everything about this beast made no sense, from its behavior to the way it chose its targets, it all seemed so random and sporadic. Perhaps there was no methodology to it, maybe Vegeta was so used to fighting more sentient opponents that he was making assumptions. Whatever the case might be things had just become infinitely worse for them, as a quick survey of the area pointed out. Aside from Viral who he'd managed to grab he could only see Haku, lying by himself in a small crater but stirring and looking pretty hurt as well. Were the others okay? Were they even alive after that? Groaning as he tried to sit up he noted a sharp pain on his arm, looking over and frowning seeing it was buried under rubble. He could feel it, which was good, but it sure hurt like hell. Channeling Ki in spite of the injury he managed to burst the rock, looking at his bloodied and no doubt broken limb with disdain before turning his head to glance at Viral. Good... He'd managed to get the Beastman mostly out of harm's way. In the wake of the attack he'd grabbed his friend and tried to fly away, hoping to spare him from being hit. The last thing he recalled before being hit by the blast was giving Viral a toss, figuring falling was preferable to being hit by such an attack. "Good... You're alive..." Vegeta said, coughing as he smiled weakly and laid back in the dirt, "Dad would kill me if you died here..."
