"Keep Shu out of this you creep! This is between us!" Takeshi shouted angrily, taking another swing at Krom and missing. His little brother had absolutely no part in the battle right now, and if he got his way then it would stay as such. If he couldn't land a single hit though then he'd never get anywhere... Why was he struggling so much? He should be way stronger than last time, how come he wasn't beating this guy into the dirt? Watching as T'charrl was grabbed abruptly he tried to reach out and help, unable to get to his friend in time as the Kaesstrian was slammed into the ground quite harshly. Cussing loudly he wanted to try and get to T'charrl's side, but instead Krom was coming after him now to keep him away. Ducking under the first punch he let out a grunt when he caught a blow in the jaw, stumbling back and taking another hit to the stomach, managing to push away the next blow and try grabbing hold of Krom's larger arm under his own, hoping to trap the man as he began throwing hard right hands to try and pummel the man down.

Yamate loathed having to waste time on these three, but it looked like Krom was busy with Takeshi and that alien of theirs. The former squad was certainly trying, he could see where their training was playing in, but it wasn't enough. The simple fact of the situation was they were just too weak, no amount of training was going to bridge the gap between them; whether 3 or 30, these children couldn't hope to defeat him now, of that he was certain. Having taken a trio of blasts, he had decided to make his point more poignant as he stood at the epicenter, emerging unfazed by it moments later with nothing but a tattered suit of armor to show for it. Tossing aside the ruined cloth dismissively he glanced at the group, smirking amused when Kai argued with him. "They trained you, but if you were any good you would have superseded that training, become something more. I'm ashamed to say that even with those accolades you're nothing more than children, and that's all you'll ever be." Dashing forward suddenly he moved between the twins, smiling amused as he looked down at a stunned Kabocha. "None of you will ever amount to anything, you'll always be of lower status, just weaklings." Reaching out he grabbed Kabocha by the throat and lifted him off the ground, gathering Ki in his free palm before blasting the Saiyan point-blank, sending him flying back and away before he turned on the twins, trying to simultaneously kick both of them with a wide sweeping kick. 

Things were escalating too quickly, as Ki was already being thrown around and people getting hurt because of it. Watching wide eyed as Yamate emerged from a blast unscathed, Yumi turned back to Shu as he continued to panic. "Just... Stay here for now, okay? Help them by staying out of trouble, and..." she began, pausing as Kabocha suddenly went flying past them and into a building. Looking at their friend in shock she turned her head to see T'charrl get slammed down, gritting her teeth and focusing again on Shu. "You two help Kabocha, then stay with Haku. I'm going to go help, okay?" Giving Shu's hair a gentle ruffle she placed a kiss on his forehead, dashing in after Yamate, managing to somehow knock into him and throw his kick off to miss the twins. In doing so however the King turned on her, and she only just raised her arms to absorb the force of his punch, getting knocked back away and wincing as she felt the impact make both arms ache quite a bit. "Come on you two, keep at it! We can beat him!" she shouted, gathering Ki in both hands and blasting it off after the King, cursing as he simply dashed to the side and she missed.

Holy crap that was a painful hit, but he was still alive. Why was he still alive? The King had enough power to blow entire planets apart, so blowing through one of them should be child's play. Yet once Kabocha had gathered himself together he glanced down at his body armor, astonished to see it burned away and his skin a bit red, but minimal damage otherwise. Why hadn't it gone through? Looking back at the fighting he watched as Yumi became involved, grunting as he pushed himself out of the rubble and rubbed at his throat, coughing from having it squeezed. Trying to get back into the fight he began walking ahead, stopping when Haku and Shu both came over, giving them a puzzled look. "I'm fine... Get out of my way, you two aren't helping so move," he said sharply, annoyed that he'd been replaced if temporarily by Yumi. He was a Saiyan noble dammit, and he should be part of bringing the King down, not her. Flaring up his energy he rushed past the other boys, getting back into the fight again himself.
