"Mercenaries? No, nothing like that. We're not getting paid for this or anything," Yumi explained, smiling slightly as she glanced down at her feet. "My friends and I... We've all been hurt one way or another by the Saiyans. Even before we ever met the rebels, Takeshi, Shu and Viral were all taken, and we didn't see any of them for a year. Then after they finally came back to us I was taken, so we've all had a lot of hardships because of those people. It's not that we're even really working for the rebellion, we just happen to have a common enemy." She supposed one could say they were friends, with a few of the rebels anyways. Though Ricken was a bit of a pain she couldn't say she completely hated him, and she certainly didn't hate Sasha. Sayomi was nice enough if a bit cold, and that big man whose name she couldn't recall was nice, if odd. Really the only rebel she wasn't overly certain of was Korian, as it was impossible to read him. Sometimes he was calm, other times he went a bit nuts, like when they were trying to charge Viral. To her it almost seemed like he was a Saiyan trying to escape what he was, and failing to do so. Glancing over at Kiton after explaining their group Yumi couldn't help but feel sympathetic for him. So he had always traveled alone then? Sure, if you never knew someone's company then she figured you might not mind it, but it still seemed like a lousy way to live. "You know... Our group is always growing, we seem to take new people in constantly," she explained, looking at the Frost Demon and smiling kindly, "You'd be welcome to join us, if you want."

Takeshi didn't know what to make of the fighting anymore, feeling the occasional surge of energy and not much else. For a while there was a lot of nothing too, and he couldn't help but worry something might have happened. Seeing as no one else was getting all worked up he kept quiet for now, figuring if something truly went wrong they'd rush in to help. Glancing over at Shu he smiled slightly amused, tearing off a piece of the medical gauze and tossing it to his brother. "It'll absorb most of the blood, sorry for that. Just wash your hands off when we land, okay?" They really didn't have anything on board for it far as he could tell, certainly no restroom on the shuttle. "I mean... Viral's not exactly got the kind of grin you show a little kid, you know? But if the guy wins this fight I bet he'd be happy, creepy grin and all." Chuckling to himself Takeshi began to try and get up, wincing as he felt his wounds being agitated from the pressure. He ended up holding still where he was then, but not due to the discomfort of moving; feeling the blast from something shake the very air around them he looked towards the cockpit, catching the brief flash of brilliant light from whatever that attack was. As Shu was quick to point out it certainly wasn't Ki, nor was it that dark energy the monster seemed to be using. The only explanation then... "Viral! We've got to get over there, now!"

Vegeta didn't need anyone else to give him reason to move, already to his feet even before Takeshi had said anything. With Sasha and Ricken still off to the side he moved past them, ignoring Yumi's shout to relax as he went for the controls. Taking a seat in the main chair he awkwardly fumbled with the settings with one hand, managing to bring the shuttle out of its hover mode and under his control. With a bit of pain from torquing his muscles Vegeta forced the ship to turn around, making their way back to the fight. Almost immediately he could see things had changed drastically, with the first massive difference being a serious lack of the monster. For a second he thought it may have burrowed underground, but glancing at the hole and seeing burned bits and blood marks he quickly concluded the beast was no more. Furthermore, he saw Enki still standing, which was a huge relief to him. It wasn't until his gaze set on T'charrl that a feeling of unease returned, noting how the Kaesstrian looked completely different from before. What was he covered in anyways, just what had happened? At the risk of being lashed out at Vegeta began to settle down the ship, and once it had touched the ground he promptly got to his feet, rushing to the door and jumping out without a word. "Viral! Are you alright? Can you hear me?"

"Vegeta, you're hurt! Quit running around like that!" Yumi snapped, frowning as she followed her friend out of the ship. Giving her friends dirty looks she promptly stopped in her tracks when she saw the aftermath of that last attack, blinking in amazement at just the sheer amount of damage Viral had managed to do. All of that in spite being in such dire straits, she was always amazed just by how powerful the Beastman was. Looking away from the damage she caught sight of T'charrl, even more stunned and worried at seeing what had become of him. Never mind whatever he was covered in, the fact he had changed again was especially worrisome, and there was no way of knowing if he was still in control or not. Biting her lip Yumi began to slowly approach her friend, putting up her hands just in case as she offered a small smile. "T'charrl...? Uh... Are you okay?"
