"Tch... You expect me to believe that crap? Like hell Viral went to you willingly! Look what you did to him, who would want that?!" Takeshi snapped, glaring at Krom's back, "I remember you kidnapping him, I wouldn't call that willingly." Where did this guy get off trying to shrug blame? Okay, so maybe he wasn't the only one at fault, but he'd played a damn big part in it all. The one person who really had to answer for their crimes was his father, but with the guy having for whatever reason fled the scene there was only his lackey to vent to. Angry as he was Takeshi knew sitting here shouting at the man wasn't going to help them any, and his friends were in need of help right now. Though he was reluctant to leave Shu in Krom's care he didn't have much choice at the moment, and with that in mind he got off of the rooftop and began his search. With Yumi already about he could focus on getting T'charrl safe, and then the others in turn. It hadn't been pretty, but after a fair bit of trouble they managed to get everyone back to the shuttle, ready to get back to Uuonoe. There was going to be a lot of need for hospitals once they returned, albeit everyone save Shu and T'charrl were conscious by now.

Takeshi was finally bandaged up thanks to Krom, whom he didn't so much as look at during the process let alone thank afterwards. He still didn't buy this, he couldn't think of any reason why someone so close to his father had just suddenly defected like that, or why his father had let it happen. There had to be something more going on here, and until the Elite opened up and told them he wasn't going to give the guy so much as the time of day. Ignoring the guy was perfectly fine until Krom came over to speak with him, the Prince lifting his head and looking at the man with an emotionless glance. "You're not flying, this is our ship," he replied stiffly, looking over at his friends. No one else seemed really up to the task however, and he couldn't do it if he was going to be watching Shu. Though he loathed to do as asked he gave a stiff nod after a moment, looking over at his younger sibling as he moved closer. No sooner had he sat down did he let out a gasp, the briefest of images flashing through his mind; on the top of a cold mountain he could see Shu having changed again, and the sensation of being helplessly trapped and having his tail torn off came flooding back all at once. Why? He couldn't say, but it hit him quite abruptly and quite hard. 

"N-No!" Falling off of the cot he moved away from Shu, a thin sheen on his face as he looked at the unconscious boys, eyes wide with fear, "H-He'll attack me again if I get too close!" He couldn't risk it, he'd probably lose something more than just a tail if Shu was to transform again on him. Despite the fact that the little guy was utterly harmless right now he found himself terrified of the kid, not wanting to be anywhere near him right now. Feeling several pairs of eyes on him, Takeshi slowly turned his head to see everyone else looking at him confused, with Yumi looking actually angry with him.

"That's your brother! What do you mean 'no'?" she asked annoyed, frowning as she walked over and pointed to Shu, "He's out anyways, you should be keeping an eye on him. Everyone else is exhausted, and I'm busy trying to help that, so that just leaves you." Honestly, why was she having to tell him to watch after his own brother? They were close as anything, something like this shouldn't be changing that, it didn't before. Reaching down to grab Takeshi and try moving him closer she raised her eyebrows when he pulled away from her, getting up and going to the back of the shuttle before sitting down alone. Unbelievable, was he actually that frightened by Shu? Someone had to look after the young boy, and with everyone else recuperating that just left her. Letting out a soft sigh she sat down on the cot by Shu, reaching out and lightly stroking his hair, glancing up at Krom. "I don't trust you either, but right now we don't have any other choice. I think the coordinates are in already, all you need to do is follow them."
