“Why?? Just because he’s smarter than you, you’re upset by that?” Krom wasn’t willing to let this kid get on his nerves, he was wanting to test him before going in for some harsher attackers. His instructions were pretty clear and he was going to follow them, even if it meant dumbing down his performance. Holding off Takeshi after flooring his friend he kept Takeshi away from him, throwing in an aggressive few punches to push the kid away, smirking when he was managing to hit Takeshi in some fairly sore spots. “C’mon! Have you been training at all since you left? I want to see some improvement!” When Takeshi decided to finally show some signs that he had been training he watched as he took hold of his arm, smirking as he started to block Takeshi’s forceful punches before suddenly a greater weight hit him square in the back, his head barely turning before he was punched in the head from behind.

Making a fair angry turn Krom pulled at Takeshi to see who was hitting him, but instead of expecting the alien he was instead treated to a fairly bulky version of it instead. “What?? The hell are you-“ So either they had more of these aliens or this was the same one, only somewhat bigger. Looking at it again it appeared it was definitely the same alien, but his form was definitely bulkier. How annoying, if he knew it was going to be like a transforming creature like a Frost Demon then he would’ve prepared himself, but instead now he had to go up against an annoying kid and some transforming alien. Growling angrily he immediately started to pull his weight again, pulling the arm Takeshi was holding him with and tried to swing around with him to throw him into his friend.

The twins were trying to keep the King occupied but he barely seemed to be tiring if even at all. He still appeared to have full strength, despite the attacks they were delivering. They didn’t really care much about getting hit at this point, but was instead just more concerned with making things easier for the others. If they could just set T’charrl and Shu off then maybe they stood a chance, maybe the King would even retreat. Glancing over to Krom real quick they saw T’charrl had already taken to the form he was stuck in previously, so that was a step forward. Taking this moment for a breather the real question was if Yamate doubted the training they received if they were considered weak. As Kai narrowed his gaze slightly at Yamate’s words they were both left surprised when the King decided to go for Kabocha directly, immediately placing the twins on alert. Raising their fists they were about to go in but were immediately attacked. Without time to block they both tried to brace themselves; however, without warning a blast was fired and redirected the man’s attack. It was Yumi who had decided to join in, their attention going to her before they both followed her lead, dashing immediately in as well and trying to hit him hard to back him into a corner.

Shu watched Yumi in hope that she could say something that might help, anything that would pull him out of this mood; however, with Kabocha being knocked away from the King it was Yumi’s turn to help, sending him into a panic. Staring at her, he gasped when she ruffled his hair and gave him a kiss before dashing away herself. Feeling all sorts of nervous he looked around frantically before making a sudden dash in the direction Kabocha went off in. Hoping that he was going to be okay he gasped when Kabocha instead emerged, stopping when he did. Staring at him for a second he frowned, moving away from him before nearly falling over when he decided to rush away back into the fight. Now he was all alone again, even if Haku was there with him. Haku didn’t show the same desire to fight as the others did and while Shu was wanting to combat his father, he felt stuck and crippled by fear. Letting out a groan he backed off, looking for a place to hide again.
