Takeshi had no idea what was going on, why Krom had done that or why his father had just suddenly vanished. Not a whole lot was making sense right now, but he knew he needed to protect his brother and friends. Now this creep was lecturing him about protecting his friends, ironic considering this guy was the one responsible for a lot of them getting hurt. Scowling up at Krom when his Ki failed to gather he gave a soft scoff, trying and failing to snatch Shu back when he was taken. "That's rich coming from you, you know! It's your fault we're even in this situation, ever since you took Viral everything's just gone to hell!" He didn't know what pissed him off more, the fact Krom was telling him what to do or the fact he knew the guy was right; everyone down below needed help getting back to the shuttle, and Shu was probably out for a good while after a change like that. Despite his minor wounds he was the only one really who could get the others back to the shuttle, just grand. "Don't tell me what to do... I'll save them, you just... Don't do anything to my brother," Takeshi warned, glaring at Krom as he finally rose to his feet, using Ki to float up off of the roof and ease himself back down to street level. To his astonishment Yumi was up and about already, albeit she had a few cuts on her person and a decent bruise on her forehead from wherever she'd landed. She was already seeing to Haku who, though he'd been hit hard, was conscious if a bit sluggish. The nearest one to him then was T'charrl, someone who was buried in rubble of all things. Hurrying over to where he'd seen his friend land he began hastily throwing aside bricks and debris, managing to finally uncover the Kaesstrian after a panicked moment. He seemed to be out of it and pretty battered from the hit he took, but at the very least he'd changed back and would be easier to manage. Easing the last of the debris off of T'charrl he gingerly lifted his friend up, ignoring the pain in his shoulder as he walked towards Yumi and Haku. "Hey... Seen the others?" Yumi's head felt like it was on fire, and the gashes on her body stung something fierce, but otherwise she considered herself fine. So long as she could move she would be alright, particularly now that the fighting was over. It was over... Right? She couldn't see Yamate any longer nor could she sense his energy, yet something was off. Holding Haku to her side she glanced up at a not-too-distant rooftop and saw Krom holding Shu, earnestly baffled by what she was witnessing. He was the enemy, so why was he here? Where had the King gone? No way had they defeated him, she found that a bit hard to believe. Getting called back to focus by Takeshi she looked over at him, giving a small nod of her head, "Yeah... They're just down the road," she answered, reaching up and gingerly nursing at the bruise over her right eye, "Ow... Why is Krom holding Shu...? Why'd the fighting stop...? What happened?" "I don't know... My old man left, Krom's here, we're done," the Prince replied bluntly, sending a disdainful glance back in Krom's direction, "It looks like he's helping us now, but I don't buy it. We gotta get everyone back to the shuttle though, we'll worry about him later." There was no way he'd changed to their side, something was up here and he didn't like it one bit. With T'charrl in tow now he and Yumi went over to find the twins and Kabocha, all of which were awake now if a bit bruised and battered. It took a fair bit of effort to move everyone, but after some time they all managed to get back to the shuttle. It was awfully lousy of them to just leave the planet as they had, but at the very least they had, in a way, stopped the attacks. Having shared a few words of parting with the alien who they had saved earlier they'd left, and now everyone was carefully being loaded up into the shuttle for transport. It would be a long, agonizing flight back to Uuonoe, and no doubt there'd be a plethora of questions once they arrived.
