"And what do you suppose I've been trying to do since we arrived here Krom, hm? They've refused every attempt I've made so far and prefer their own annihilation over submitting. I hate to put this world to ruin, but they're leaving me no other choice." Scavenging as they were was deplorable, and they could happen upon something that should not be in their hands. So far it seemed like they were just getting small scraps, outdated weaponry and various bits, but Yamate wouldn't chance these aliens coming across something important. That aside, even if they were to leave now then they were signing their own death warrants anyways, being left on their own to defend themselves which clearly was working so very well for them now. "Of course he will, he's not an idiot. He'll wait for his greatest chance of success, he's always worked that way," Yamate remarked, smiling slightly amused at the mention of his children, "Takeshi is a loose cannon waiting to explode, Shu does whatever he says without fail. If we can get those boys to see our side and do as I say then Korian wouldn't have a chance. It's only a matter of time before they do come to our side of it, you'll see."

Takeshi was definitely annoyed at being dragged away like this, especially since it got in the way of their plans. He and Shu had a ton to do today and now here they were with everyone else, waiting for Vegeta to show up and fill them in. Such a pain, it had better be something important and not one of his stupid self-imposed curfews for them. "What's scary about it? We're just standing here with friends, nothing scary about that," the older boy remarked, smiling as he leaned over and gently nudged Shu, "It's probably nothing buddy, we'll just hear what Vegeta has to say then we'll get back to playing and training, okay?" So long as this meeting of theirs didn't take too long. After having seen all the neat stuff that Kai and Choi could do together in a fight Takeshi had the mind to make up a trick for him and Shu now; coordinating anything with the little guy was a nightmare, but if they worked at it hard enough maybe they could pull it off. 

"That's good, I'm glad to hear it!" Yumi responded cheerfully, smiling as she folded her hands behind her back, "Sorry I haven't been by to see you, been kind of busy with Viral and training. Haven't done much of that recently, need to stay in shape though with all of you powerhouses around here, right?" It was impossible to say when the next big fight might be, but she'd make damn sure she was ready to take part in it. When their group had been small, just her and the boys, she was almost on par with the two of them; the discrepancy between herself and the boys, not to mention everyone else was so large now she was almost a non-factor. For someone who spent most of their life training and learning martial arts that wouldn't stand, she had to get stronger. Realizing she was on a bit of a tirade in her own head she smiled at T'charrl again, "We should spend some time together soon, maybe you could help me train? I don't think we're ever done that together before, it'd be fun!" The sound of a metal door retracting drew her focus up to the ship hull, watching curiously as Vegeta finally appeared and started down the stairs. Where she had been smiling a moment before her expression quickly did a 180, looking at her friend concerned over the look of uncertainty and worry he bore himself. "Vegeta? What's wrong...? What's happened?"

That his fears from earlier would actually be confirmed, that they were going to have to go into this fight to face such a threat... Vegeta loathed what he was about to do, but they had little choice in the matter: if Yamate was not stopped then he could move on to another world, more people would suffer and they would just sit here and wait for the King to get to Uuonoe. Was that their plan, or would they take the fight to him? If there was the slightest chance they could defeat the man here, end the war and stop the violence then they should take it. Fighting such a foe was hardly desirable, yet he saw no other course of action but for them to go. Stepping out of the ship he felt all eyes on him, keeping his gaze down as he descended the steps. Only when Yumi spoke to him did he look up, meeting her concerned look steadily. He should tell the entire group, not just her, seeing as chances were everyone here was going anyways.

"About an hour ago we received a distress call from Numina, a nearby world. Or rather Uuonoe did, and the call was passed along to me on the ship," Vegeta began, looking around at the others, "The call was distorted at first so information was scarce, but their world was under attack. I don't know what their deal is or who they are, but they clearly needed help, and naturally the Uuonians turned to us for help..."

"Tch... We're not some private army they can send wherever we are needed," Kabocha remarked disdainfully, frowning as he crossed his arms, "Sorry they're being attacked, but why don't the rebels here go? It's not our job to try saving every planet, that's theirs. Besides we just got here."

"That would leave the world without any defenders, considering they don't know if we're staying or not. If there's a chance that Uuonoe may be targeted they want to have their troops here, protecting the city. And besides... The rebels can't fight this enemy, they'd be walking into a kill zone if they even tried." None of your standard fare of soldier stood a remote chance, it [i]had[/i] to be them. Their only alternative was [i]maybe[/i] Korian and Sayomi, but they were much too far away to reach Numina in any reasonable time. Letting out a sigh under his breath, Vegeta rubbed his forehead before looking directly at Shu and Takeshi, "You two and the others have to go and fight, there's no one else who can do it. The one responsible for the attacks on Numina is your father, King Yamate."
