"I said keep Shu out of it!" Takeshi snapped, furious even as he was struck by Krom. They were fighting, not his little brother, he shouldn't be ignored like this. Glowering up at the Elite he finally managed to grab at one of his swinging arms, firmly locking it beneath one of his own and going to throw in hard strikes of his own. They were being blocked, but at the very least now it meant the man couldn't get away from him, and sooner or later he'd find an opening. After a moment of swinging he finally took a break in his hits, only because he was stunned by what was behind Krom. Looking past the Elite at his friend T'charrl his eyes widened, shocked that he had changed so suddenly. Taken aback by the abrupt shift he wasn't aware the guy had tried to pull him around, yet once it hit him Takeshi pulled back, firmly planting himself and instead trying to toss the Elite over himself. Unfortunately for him however he was a bit too late for that, and instead felt himself lifted up as he was forced to let go, doing his best to avoid hitting T'charrl and awkwardly clipping his friend's shoulder as he tumbled to the side, hitting a street post and groaning as he bent it in half, landing on his feet and immediately clutching his back in discomfort. Crap, now T'charrl had transformed, was it even safe for him to fight too?

Yumi didn't know what in the world she was thinking attacking the King like this, but she had to do something. So long as everyone else was fighting then Shu and Haku would be safe, that would have to do for now. Being caught up in the fight now she didn't notice T'charrl having changed immediately, and after seeing him by being knocked back she sent a worried glance his way, giving a shake of her head before returning to her own battle. The twins lead the way on this strike, and she followed closely behind by rushing in then dropping low, trying to slam her foot into the man's knee and cripple him. Watching in disdain as he blocked both punches by Kai and Choi then simply jumped over her leg she growled angrily, throwing her arms up once more as she was kicked in turn, skidding back across the ground before rolling over and flipping up, getting into a low squat before dashing back in again. While they weren't exactly getting in any hits they were at the very least backing him up, and even more so thanks to Kabocha rejoining the fray. 

"Four... Four piles of miserable lies and failures..." Yamate mused, grinning as he simply dashed about on the spot, evading most every attack or blocking them. He was losing ground, sure, but he hardly considered himself to be in any serious trouble. These children did not appreciate just how over their head they were, or the danger that came with this battle. Or maybe they did and simply didn't care, which could be either admirable or suicidal. Growing tired of playing this game he stopped dodging, taking four strikes all at once from each of the fighters, with a blow to the head and two to the body as well as one to the leg. Everything combined managed to make him stagger, and when he lifted his head a small trickle of blood leaked from the corner of his mouth, but otherwise he was fine. "Let me show you just how meaningless your struggle is..." Crossing his arms before his head he began amassing Ki at an alarming rate, letting out a shout as he released it in a pressurized blast around himself, aiming to knock everyone away and send them tumbling. 

Haku didn't know what Yumi expected of them or how they might help Kabocha. If he was truly hurt then they wouldn't do anything, neither of them had any medical training. He'd try to stem the bleeding if the wound was open, but aside from that he couldn't offer any help. Thankfully it looked like their friend was okay, going right back into the battle while only missing a beat or two. With the others off to fight that now left Shu under his care, which realistically was worse than leaving Shu on his own. Looking over at the young Prince he frowned when he started trying to run away, reaching out and grabbing his shirt to stop him. "H-Hey, they might need us! We can't r-run!" he said, quite obviously scared too. They might not have to run away anyways, it looked like they were getting a free trip courtesy of Yamate. Feeling the surge of Ki, Haku looked behind them just in time to see the concussive blast go off, gasping and hastily shoving Shu to the side into a building, getting tossed away a second after as he tumbled down the road, slamming into a container on the side and denting it before ending up in a heap on the road, groaning as he rolled onto his back.
