Kiton could say something but then he knew he’d come off as heartless, but if something like that happens usually the best way to relieve the pain is to let them pass on; however, with Ricken up and running and apparently going in for a battle then not letting him die was probably the better decision. He hadn’t experienced the death of anyone close to him so he didn’t know what was the point on him giving an opinion? If he ever managed to somehow get sick he’d probably go for the augmentations too, but maybe on a more biological scale than full on mechanics. “So he really is a cyborg, huh? Gross”, he sighed, looking towards the windows, “I can’t tell if that’s a contract you’re under now, though. A willing contract…but still a need to rely on these rebels, right?” Before he could continue the conversation the shockwave caught him completely off-guard, holding onto the cot to try and stay on it. He had no idea what had caused that and couldn’t check. “What? ‘We’? For one you just bandaged me up! Now you want me to go into battle…? You people are crazy…”

Despite having not been able to do what he couldn’t to help his friends, T’charrl wasn’t going to let that put him down. He still had his friends to protect even if they were hurt and thankfully he would be able to mend their damage so long as he could find the energy to do it. He hadn’t done it in a while thankfully, but he could remember what he felt to be able to heal as opposed to steal energy and destroy. Dropping to the ground momentarily he placed a claw to the ground, taking some of the energy from the planet he soon flew off towards Ricken to regroup. The others weren’t going to be able to fight, even Shu would be too unreliable. Everyone’s energy was low, it was only him and Viral who was probably able to do anything to it. Looking back to the creature he frowned, seeing it become ever angrier probably not that it knew it had an advantage. Flying over to Ricken he held his blades out still keeping guard just incase. “What do we do? Everyone’s down and your energy isn’t feeling very good…”

Shu didn’t know why Takeshi had to get hurt because of him, feeling they could’ve done alright if they just flew fast enough. They had flew really fast before and they probably could’ve outrun that attack, maybe. He just wanted to believe that they could’ve done without getting injured that time, even if it was probably impossible to avoid. Slowly climbing away he squeaked as he fell over instead, shaking his head as he still felt dizzy. “I couldn’t had made it to him…a-and he…” Looking over in Viral’s direction as their friend continued to change, looking strangely ferocious despite him knowing exactly what his friend’s personality truly was. Slowly lowering down again he looked to Takeshi again, frowning. “Maybe…I could…” Holding out his hands he gathered up some energy, almost closing his eyes before realising he shouldn’t and fired it around Takeshi, loosening up the rock in violent pops.

Viral’s burst of pain had ceased for him for now, his body still straining to try and get used to the form without dislocation happening. He didn’t know how he got to this point in his life but right now he didn’t have time to think into the past, his straining eyes looking to Vegeta. He couldn’t let Vegeta take the blame for this, he wasn’t the one who went off into battle and made his energy go wild like that. He didn’t know about Vegeta or what he was trying to say but all that he could be thankful right now was not losing it completely again like he did against the Narbu. Staring at him with confused eyes he slowly moved back, still unsteady on his feet as he struggled to get used to what he had become. He barely looked like himself anymore apart from a few key aspects, but his energy wasn’t going out of control anymore. Looking to Yumi when she decided to intervene from Vegeta’s mad ramblings he eventually groaned, looking to his paws. “I didn’t mean that…” he muttered before looking to him again, “All you did was slow it down…it was already going to happen! Whether you found the cure, I just couldn’t-…my energy wasn’t under my control. I shouldn’t had entered the battle…” He probably looked terrible to everyone, like a beast that didn’t know what it wanted to be. Everything was starting to collide together and fight for dominance meaning he didn’t have long left before he could find a stable cure. Feeling frustrated he looked over to Yumi, narrowing his eyes before he looked to the monster. “…I’m not. I will fight”, he spoke, turning towards the beast, “This happened because I couldn’t fight the desire to save you and Vegeta…to protect you! I let my wiring get the better of me…”
