Takeshi would pay attention to everything else, but only once he'd beaten Krom. There was no way he could stop this fight without leaving the Elite in a heap, especially not if the guy was going to come back at them again anyways. This beating was long overdue and he was only too happy to hand deliver it, if he could that is. In trying to throw some variety into his attacks he went in for another strike, instead using Krom as a base as he vaulted up, sending himself back down and slamming the man to the ground. It might have been just the opening he wanted were it not for someone's interference; given the energy coming off of them he thought it was his father at first, yet to his shock turned out to be Shu. Looking at his brother astonished he ducked hastily under a massive claw, pushing back off the ground to avoid a smash that probably would have torn him in two. "Shu, relax! It's me, Takeshi!" the older boy shouted, gasping as he narrowly dodged getting ripped into by one of the claws. Damn it, he knew Shu had changed but when had he gotten so far along? Last time he'd gotten this bad he'd lost his tail, albeit his power hadn't been nearly what it was now back then. How was he supposed to stop the little guy anyway? Yumi was out so he couldn't rely on her, and now Takeshi was worried that their father or Krom might get into the fight. Wanting nothing less than to hit Shu, the older boy had to keep on the defensive, finding it rather difficult to avoid all of these fast strikes coming in. At one point he would trip over his own feet, cussing loudly and raising his arms to block an incoming swipe, being batted away like an insect as Shu's blow connected, sending him flying away as he only just caught himself before smashing into a building. Damn it he hit like a truck and he was fast, this was going to get bad very fast. Hoping that perhaps Shu might be too out of it to really think, the older boy vanished and moved to an adjacent rooftop, sitting down behind a small duct as he tried to come up with a plan. "Shu, you have to calm down! I don't want to hurt you!" Yeah right, if he even could. Feeling a warmness on his shoulder Takeshi reached back and found blood, not having realized his brother caught him with his claws earlier. Well that was a fine mess, he really had to try and figure this out quick.
